Anomaly's Natural Pics

[Anomaly]

I've yet to start my cycle, but I went ahead and took my before pics:

I obviously didn't have any help in taking these pictures. Thus I didn't take any pics of my legs but they're up to par with the rest of my body.

-I'm 22
-I'm 5'8"
-140 lbs.
-8.6% body fat
-3 strong years of lifting, minus December '05, and recently came off torn right quadricep in May-July '06. Lost 16 lbs. during that from sitting around for 3 months b/c i literally couldn't do anything else.
-I'm currently on a bulking routine, coming of a strength/power routine to get my pre-torn quad strength back.
-I take in 3.6k-4k calories a day.
-Don't ask me why i'm at 140 lbs. plateau. I cut out all cardio, pure bulk, big diet and still no gains.

you way to light, i deffinatly wouldnt go for gear till your atleast 170+, you just need to change your routine or eating habbits, stop the cardio for abit. you can always gain weight.

 

[Anomaly]

Cardio has been gone for a month+. I've been on 3.6k-4k calories intake a day diet 6 months pre-torn quad and the past 2 or 3 months post-torn quad. I change up my routine to prevent stagnation and it's currently bulk style.

 

[mister69]

guarantee you, that you have a lot of room to grow naturally.

Best of luck on your torn quad rehabilitation.

Not ready for a cycle yet bro but thanks for posting up some pics. Btw I dig the Venom tat. Never seen one like that before.

You didn't mention your age. At 18 I looked a lot like you. At 24 I had put a ton of mucsle on. At 29 I looked nice and BIG. Lots of "Duhhh he do steroids that why he big". At 31 I had done all I could do naturally and added the gear. I have no regrets waiting that long but it does take patience and commitment. Do what you want everyone's different but do it safely.

Steriods will not trun you into a superhero.

 

[outlawtas]

eat more man, there is no way your at your plateau. Take in 6k calories. Change up your training to heavy compound lifts.

 

[luquillo78]

Do not use gear yet.

Gain another 60 lbs natural.

 

[Anomaly]

Well, 6k calories would be too hard for me to take in, and I've been on 4k forever while working out and i can't ever seem to get past 140. I've tried for the past nearly 2 years. As for the gear, I was just gonna do the usual newb cycle of test e to get things going. I'm not trying to become a super hero, i'm just trying to get past this plateau. 4k+ calories makes me nearly throw up I eat so much. 6k is improbable in my mind. As for my routines, I know what I'm doing, I've even gone as far as to read Baechle/Earle's "Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning" b/c I'm a nerd with alot of free time. I'm just a stereotypical ectomorph. It's hard for me to gain weight compared to endomorph type people and mesomorph type people.

 

[outlawtas]

I think maybe you should really magnify your diet - are you sure your getting 4k calories in? I've never seen someone plateau at your weight on 4k cals.

If you are going to cycle anyways, do it right. 500mg a week, use Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) throughout, have proper PCT. Have something on hand to combat gyno.

Good luck and welcome to the club.

 

[Eat it or Beat it!!!]

6 Ozarka's (.5L each) throughout the day.

Fri-Sat

5am - 800cal protein shake (Muscle milk, choc syrup, peanut butter)
9am - 2 pints of milk, 1 pint of orange juice, toast, cereal/oatmeal

5pm - Snack - i.e. seeds, hot pocket, tuna, ramen, etc.
9pm - Dinner - with 800cal protein shake (Muscle Milk, choc syrup, peanut butter)

Fri-Sat i work which is why it's different and a drop in calories. I really can't find time for more food or shakes for any day.

That was exactly what I said before I really started eating and training heavy (deadlift, squat, bench).

Look at my old pic. I was smaller than you at 26 years old (125 lbs 5'8). Now I'm 180 lbs 13%bf and still natural. Maybe I'll hit gear after 200 lbs.
I was about to use steroids when I followed the advice of people around here who told me to stay natty. I even had bought the stuff and I still have it on my closet.
I started growing when I learnt the meaning of "forcefeeding" myself.
Belive it. At 140 lbs 5'8 you don't need gear.

edit: added a "after" pic

 

[peanut]

well said...i completly agree with luquillo. I am also a natty ans i started out at 5'7 120 when i was 18 and now i am 22 and i am 168 and the heavist i have been is 180. You can def gain alot more naturally before hitting gear...and i am top heavy so i have like 20 pounds of growth in my legs...anyways keep hitting it natty, goodluck

 

[Warmachine]

cant get in the kcals? its called "olive oil"

 

[Anomaly]

Olive Oil? Do i just chug it or what? It looks like it takes alot to get high calories out of it.

 

[BigRonWannabee]

What do you squat and deadlift?

Why do you wait 4 hours between meals?

I started this lifting thang at 135lbs - I used to say the same shit man. I know you want this NOW. But also, BELIEVE me if you can get past a paltry 140, your doing something really wrong that steroids just wont help.
