Transformation Redux

So I've been a member of the forum for quite some time and I have talked about my growth several times but it's time to put up or shut up. I am just about to wrap up a bulk phase and this is the biggest I have ever been from 135 almost 5 years ago.

Now at 265 lbs and hopefully more to come

That back shot's probably the most impressive of the lot. A lot of width there.

Great job man! Do you have any "before" shots from when you were 135? I'd love to see the comparison to your newfound beefiness

So been trimming for the past 5 weeks got a little sick last week but still right around 255, so down 10 lbs which is great ot me I want ot end around 250 and just focus on maintaining this conditioning throughout my bulk which I will be starting in a month or so. Can't rush and if I reach 270, 275 I will be happy with this conditioning level. When I cut in the spring.

I'm realizing in the beginning it's more about getting to a certain weight but now it's about more conditioning and size at the same time, the pros do it and it's what separates them from the rest of us. I don't want to be a guy who said he bodybuilds and has poor conditioning time for Operation: Pro.

Looking massive, dude! I'm just starting out on a serious bulking programme, but I want to keep my bodyfat under control too. Just a matter of adjusting the calories, I guess?
For pictures, I use a smartphone with a camera app with a timer, or else make a video and grab the best stills from it.
