My story:

To make it relatively short, I have never really been out of shape, but just a little bit on the chubby side. I have been interested in weightlifting since my freshman year of high school when I began lifting for football. Since then, I have been packing on some muscle. However, my diet was much loser and I had a much higher bodyfat percentage. I never really began a "cutting" phase in the bodybuilding sense, but rather concentrated on SLOWLY GAINING MUSCLE, WHILE LOSING FAT GRADUALLY. In my opinion, this is the "healthiest way" to achieve a more cut up physique.(rather than cutting and bulking in a bodybuilding sense)

Diet principles:

For me it is simple: Low Carb(Good Carbs) and High Protein for at least 3 or 4 days in a row, and then a high carb, high protein day in order to not allow your body to become used to your diet.

Exercise principles:

Compound Exercises Build Muscle(Bench Press, Squat, Military Press, Pull-ups)
My rep range usually ranges from 6-12 reps in which I change my workout plan every few weeks(muscle confusion is important)

Whey Protein, Bcaa's, SuperPump250
