tadams · 10-29-2007, 09:20 PM

Quite a transformation. I am up 32 lbs over the last 12 months so you barely edged me out.

**thenatural** · 10-30-2007, 01:05 AM

thanks tadams i appreciate that.

kudos to you as well on the great work

Richard85 · 01-04-2008, 02:35 PM

i am up around the same but you are leaner and more proportined that me

weby · 02-02-2008, 11:37 AM

Great results, what was your training program like

Aqua · 02-02-2008, 04:48 PM

great result...keep it going

bruno · 02-12-2008, 01:30 PM

man you made a ton of progress. congrats. this gives the hope that I can make some good gains too, as I am just a little heavier now than you were in your first pics (167) and I began at much less. Shows what hard work can do.... Good stuff

**thenatural** · 02-12-2008, 02:52 PM

thanks dude. i'm another 10lbs on top of that right now too

btech · 02-12-2008, 03:16 PM

....here's another post commenting on excellent progress

cr1k3y · 02-12-2008, 04:26 PM

Nice work guy.

Gears · 02-23-2008, 05:32 PM

Good progress.

rotnacogeid · 03-31-2008, 08:23 AM

Wow that is very inspiring. It really shows your dedication. Congrats!
Are you planning on keep bulking up?

**thenatural** · 03-31-2008, 01:36 PM

thanks for the kind words...i'm up another 10lbs from those pics, and plan to keep adding size for awhile.

jesus rocks · 03-31-2008, 01:45 PM

dang natty, just saw this, good progress man. Your "lower lats" look sick in those contest pics. p.s. Gotta love the happy trail on the face.

eryanb · 04-01-2008, 02:30 PM

Impressive pics. What is your height and waist size if you don't mind me asking?

**thenatural** · 04-01-2008, 02:32 PM

5'8" waist there is around 32"

bruno · 04-02-2008, 09:19 AM

Are you trying to hold your weight right now until after your contest and then keep bulking, or have you scrapped the idea of trying to stay in the lighter weight class?

**thenatural** · 04-02-2008, 01:01 PM

i'm within range right now to get into the 198s, so i'm planning on doing that. I'm usually 202-204 right now, which can easily be dropped...

I'm eating for more maintenance/recovery right now...

iron05 · 04-02-2008, 01:09 PM

Nice work natty.

Today was actually the first time i ever saw those pics...i know your a 10000% ecto so nice work bro....i can feel your pain as my Dad was nicknamed "skinny bones" his entire childhood into his teenage years (u should see the pics, lol) and i rightfully took that throne upon myself as i was a twig...so i understand the work you've put through.

I'm also glad you posted in this thread cuz i was just about to type in your journal to tell you that i've been throwing together some of those shakes that you, Ben, and I were discussing a few weeks ago and they are helping greatly to help get my meals in and add size so thank you for that.

Keep squattin' heavy and hittin it hard!

**thenatural** · 04-02-2008, 01:26 PM

thanks bro. heavy cream is the anabolic secret for size

iron05 · 04-02-2008, 05:11 PM

lol...i'm beginning to find that out! haha

thenatural's bulking secret revealed.

iron05 · 04-02-2008, 05:41 PM

OMG dude.

i don't even know what to say about that.

uggh that looked horrible.

lol...but i think ure right...was that natty in the background of that group shot?

MilitaryMuscle · 04-02-2008, 07:22 PM

LOL i got a 11x11 at in and out one time and thought i was going to have a heart attack.

rotnacogeid · 04-03-2008, 07:08 AM

That 10x10 is kind of repulsive. I am not going to eat a burger for a long time now. THANK YOU guys. You just reinforced my choice for healthier food!
