Short introduction:
Im currently 24 and living in The Netherlands. I have had a journal ever since i started on a different website more catered to Powerlifting. As my interests started to drift more towards bodybuilding, i decided it was time to start a new journal on a more BB oriented website.
Current Stats
6 feet, 200.6 lbs
Squat: 6x330lbs
Bench: 6x185 (have not benched in a while, so this has likely dropped)
Deadlift: 6x405lbs
Training background:
Started out with Starting Strength that i followed for 6 months. After that, i did several cycles of 5/3/1.
As of June 2010, i have been following Hyperthrophy Cluster Training (HCT-12). Im still using the upper/lower split training 4 days a week, however i have slowly added a little more volume (still relatively low volume, 2-3 worksets per exercise) and taken away the clusters.
Nutrition background:
When i first started off, all i read was that i had to eat big to get big. I did just that and gained 20lbs in less than 3 months. A lot of it was fat, which is why I then did my first "cut" and dropped those 20lbs in about 4-5 months.
I started with HCT-12 far from lean, but decided to focus on adding mass first. I gained around 30lbs this time in 6 months, ending up at 246lbs. As of January 2011, i decided to do a cut to finally get to a decent BF, before starting a much slower and more controlled bulk.
I have now been dieting for 26 weeks and have so far lost almost 46lbs.
Currently
Im finishing the last couple of weeks of my diet before i go on holiday (about 3-4 weeks left). After that i will be looking to start a long, slow gaining phase.
