Hello everybody,

This is my first post since I suscribed to this forum. My name is Diego, I am 26 y.o. I am a software engineer and a musician.

My pics are here:

I am now "bulking" but as I haven't done this before, I am concerned about gaining too much fat. I have started to loose some definition... is this ok?

I am eating a lot, as never before. I think is the way to go right?

Well, any advice or critique would be highly appreciatted.

Thanks.

Hello Anrikero,

Your pics show that you have developed a very nice physique thus far. Bulking is just that. You will gain a good bit of size and you will almost certainly become smoother. This is OK. Think of it as molding clay. Once you have enough clay, then you can scrape away so of the "excess" (ie bodyfat). Good luck with your bulking!

1bigwoof hit it right on the head. When bulking you will smooth out. It is next to impossible to bulk and define at the same time.

The key is also nutrition. You have to eat, and eat and eat! You need to be getting in at least 5 - 6 meals a day or more, and supplement to ge those calories in. And you gotta lift heavy and intense!

But most of all, research EVERYTHING you can on bodybuilding diet and nutrition, and learn to instinctively tell what your body is "saying" to you.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks Ron. Is this a good place to put my "bulking" pictures?? Is this the rigth forum?

viamanmax · #10 February 13th, 2007, 08:00 PM

You are extreemly good looking. Keep up the effort as it seems to have paid off so far.

Normally these pictures of yourself would go under the category "Watch Me Grow."

optimusx · #11 February 13th, 2007, 11:35 PM

Awesome work thus far. I agree with the rest of the commentary that you're gonna loose definition while bulking. Just remember to keep it in check. I've seen wayyyyyy too many people that confused bulking with just getting fat... (just check out bodybulding.com's forums for examples).

You're doing awesome, keep up the great work!

thufirhawat · #12 February 16th, 2007, 01:43 PM

Hello and welcome, Diego. You're really hot and sexy. Very nice muscles you have there, man!
And look at that appetizing bulge...

anrikero · #13 February 23rd, 2007, 11:53 AM

Thanks ;-)

anrikero · #14 February 23rd, 2007, 12:05 PM

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to tell you that I have updated my profile on big muscle . Last time I was telling you that I was starting to bulk up; Well here are my first results:

I have started to loose some definition but on the other hand I have started to feel my clothes tighter.

I am now 77 kg which means that I have gained 3kg (I was weighting 73kg before).

I am eating a lot, and now I feel stronger in my workouts. I try now in every repetition to feel that I am giving it all. You know? Normally what I was doing was to do 8 reps in any excersise and in the last 2 I was feeling the burn! Now I try that in at least 6 of every 8 I can reach that point. This has help me a lot.

The other thing that I am doing now is to mix my protein shakes 0% fat %0 ice cream. It is very tasty and at the end it is like a milkshake.

I have discarded for now the use of steroids. I have never used them but I always have been very curious about them. Mostly because of "the big guys" in my gym.

So far, so good. I think my attitude has changed a little, I feel more confident but as usual I try to be very kind and useful with people around in the gym.

1bigwoof · #15 February 23rd, 2007, 02:01 PM

Anrikero,

Congratulations on your continued progress. You look great--still very lean but definitely bigger. Thanks for sharing your updated pictures with us. It's good to be more confident but keep your kind demeanor. Get HUGE!

Just wanted to let you know that not only are your initial gains impressive, but so is your atitude and demeanor. With that outlook and drive, you can and will achieve every goal that you make, in and out of the gym!

Just keep pushing, keep it intense and keep your eyes on your goals, my friend (and definitely keep us posted!).

Wow.....in time you're going to look DANGEROUS!

anrikero · #18 February 25th, 2007, 04:27 PM

Thanks power flex. I will keep you posted. :-)

anrikero · #19 February 25th, 2007, 04:28 PM

Thanks lifter73. That is the idea.

anrikero · #20 February 25th, 2007, 04:43 PM

Hello everyone,

Today I posted two additional pics of my bulking up. The first is lateral and the other one is frontal (though this last one is a bit blurry, I really need somebody to take these progress pictures

).

I have been working out for several years but now I am starting to really dedicate myself to it.

Any suggestions regarding bulking up are greatly appreciated.

blackbird · #21 February 25th, 2007, 11:45 PM

wow, excellent progress so far. I'm jealous of the fullness of your pecs. You'll be an animal by the time you get cut up. How long do u plan to bulk?

anrikero · #22 March 21st, 2007, 12:38 PM

I think may be for a year or when I get to 85kg (187lbs) what happen first.

anrikero · #23 March 21st, 2007, 01:00 PM

Hi there,

I want to share my new site in yahoo:

http://360.yahoo.com/ogeidbm

I post there a short poll in the post "Calories for Bulk Up". Since english is not my first language I think that writing a blog will be a good exercise to improve my expressiveness. If you find something incoherent, please let me know. I like to learn of my mistakes.

Thanks.

gb123 · #24 March 21st, 2007, 01:40 PM

Wow very sexy pics bud, looking very good, keep up the hard work :P

anrikero · #25 March 28th, 2007, 11:54 PM

Ok. Time to put new pics.

Thanks for your feedback. (I am bulking up)

arpeejay · #26 March 29th, 2007, 04:30 AM

You're a beautiful man, Diego, and you're getting better all the time! It's inspiring to watch! Many thanks for sharing with us!

anrikero · #27 March 29th, 2007, 11:18 AM

I am now 171 lbs = 78 kg... and going up...

jcnutt · #28 March 29th, 2007, 12:16 PM

Diego,
You can definately see the progress from your earlier pics. More size, fuller muscle and still pretty lean. Keep it up, you will reach your goals and beyond in no time.. and in turn you motivate others.

DonnieJvilleNC · #29 March 29th, 2007, 01:39 PM

Diego,

Those are some great progress pics, man! You can really see that you're getting thicker and fuller. Keep up the great job. It looks like you'll be a great "transformation story" soon.

anrikero · #30 March 31st, 2007, 02:06 AM

Thanks for your kind comments. I am losing definition, but I don't care. I am going first for mass

Today I trained chest and arms. I decided to take pictures because I like the pumped I had.

Here are the pictures:

Hello Richard, I am in 78kg.

DonnieJvilleNC · #33 March 31st, 2007, 04:00 PM

Loved the new Flickr pics, Diego. You're looking mighty solid!

njscalz · #34 April 5th, 2007, 05:08 PM

CanadianGordon · #35 April 12th, 2007, 12:52 AM

Looking good man! Can't wait to see you grow more!

anrikero · #36 April 12th, 2007, 03:13 PM

I will post new pics soon. I have been busy because I was kidnapped for 2 hours and they took my car. I don't feel secure... have been talking to the police and the insurance company... I guess what happened to me was the best scenary among all the bad things that could have happened.

Life goes on. I weight 79kg now!!
