thanks trouble

check your pm's

Holy fucking flap jacks, Stallion!!! Damned impressive bro!

Dammmmmn, dude! Good job! The transformation went well, it looks like!

Congrats on the results!

Thats fucking amazing man...

I know you said your in the 3.9k call range... did you lower that or has been that the entire 10 months.

Wow. There's inspiration. What do your friends and family have to say about the transformation?

Congrats on the good outcome on a lot of hard work. Well done.

They are all really happy for me. My friends always "poke fun" of me....they now call me "p mania" and they are my "p maniacs"---think hulk hogan, and hulk a mania and the hulk a maniacs. that started when one of my buddies was wasted, and now everybody calls me that......the p part is because my last name is pellecchia and everyone calls me "p" as a nickname. they all love to ask me nutrition and supp questions now too.

thanks again guys, i appreciate the compliments and support

You get everything you needed from me, 'Stallion?

Good luck and keep in touch!

Got it trouble

thanks a bunch, it was extraorninarily helpful

WOW, way to rise up and take control. You made great gains, and over came a lot, way to go!!!!!

Damn...looks like two different people. Nice fro though.

i actually started at 2 k calories when i was really little---and that was putting weight on me

hard to believe, but it did. basically, i just increased as i saw fit. for instance, if i stayed the same weight for a week i would bump up my cals about 200 for the following week. by about march i was eating about 3300 cals, and am now in the 3800 range.

my plan is to drop down to about 3300 for maintenance, and run it there for a month, then drop down a few hundred more, and eventually get to 2500 and start my cut

glad you like the fro kashi

Wow Stallion you are an inspiration to all who said it can't be done. Great job! Glad you made it back from your accident better then ever.

I only saw your post now. I must say this must be one of the most inspiring posts I have seen in quite a while. I recon if there is one person out there that can motivate about anybody who wants to get bigger, this person would be you (ok the "hardgainers"). I dunno if you have posted (somewhere here or elsewhere on fast400) how you got there (the whole thing, from what training you did to what supps you took to what your meals looked like, AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU CAN) and if you havent, why dont you post it with links to your pictures. I recon many newbies will miss this post and it is posts like this that the kids (lol) inspired (maybe even an article?)

This would save us lots of frustration with kids that only wanna juice and do nothing else. If they could read and see what is possible they would maybe take a different route in getting there.

For best transformation I have seen on this site, I'll give you a 10/10!

thanks a bunch martin, i really appreciate it


i just posted my cut in the diet section, and i could add my bulk diet on to that along with the supps i used

Looking great stallion. A friend of mine at work is shaped exactly like you were except he is 5'6" I'm gonna show him to set a fire under him to train. One question what was your size before the accident.

thank UM


i was 160-170

i think i was an inch shorter too

holy crap. Iam also almost as skinny as you were(a bit more meat,but still skinny)
you have to tell me what your doing!!

the most important thing is your diet. i pretty much had this down from day 1....but over time i learned more and revised it everytime i figured out something better. My training was basically second on the list behind diet, then supplements behind training. in the beginning i put on weight pretty quick because my natural bodyweight was a lot more than 116, but as my weight went up, so did my calories. It took me a long time to really realize how much you have to eat to grow......a lot of my friends that lift always tell me they cant get anybigger and they eat a lot, but its simple, if you arent growing, you arent eating enough

eat big + train hard = get big

i can post a sample of what my diet was toward the end of my "bulking" phase if you would like me to.

my supplements always contained the basics, i never really got fancy with anything until the end

i started out with a weightgainer-cytogainer, which was great, but moved to whey + carbs a few months after reading on here

i used myoplex deluxe, not as an MRP, but as a drink with my lunch.
i couldnt eat a whole lot of solid foods without getting totally stuffed, so i would drink something with a good amount of calories beacuse it didnt fill me up nearly as much as whole food

always used a blended protein for nighttime

i started to take creatine after a couple of months (2-3). by that time i knew that i wasnt going to stop lifting. i started with mono, didnt see much with it other than bloating and water retention. then i moved onto cee. SNS e2 matrix was great, but now i just use bulk cee. i didnt really like dymatize xpand, the pumps were great, but strength gain wasnt anything extraordinary

i took fish oil a few months after i started

always took a multi vitamin

at the end i started adding all types of nootropics and other bulk suppies that arent really necessary, just a little something extra

every single night (and i mean every night) right before i went to sleep i would eat a big PB and sugar free preserves sandwich on whole wheat bread and have a shake

i never left my dorm room without food. just incase i would be gone for longer than expected i could have a shake or a protein bar (i used tri o plex all the time during school when i was desperately trying to add weight)

i ate very, very cleanly, had lots of protein, lots of oats, and lots of whole wheat pasta, lots and lots of chicken and tuna and cottage cheese. i probably ate too much cottage cheese, because now im sick of it. i would easily eat a large tub a day, often more.

i had a meal plan at school, but cooked for myself everynight. i would go to the food court with my friends, then when they were done eating i would go make my food in the mini kitchen in the dorm.

the only thing i can really say is to get your diet down and follow it to a T. through my experience, it is by far the most important thing that you have to do in order to add size (or lose size if dieting)

post your diet in the diet section, people will be happy to help you out (hopefully, so far i havent gotten many replies )

you have to be 110% dedicated to it, always have food on you. i rarely went more than 2 hours without eating.

good luck and hopefully that helped. but unfortunately, most of it probably wasnt any news for you....its all pretty basic stuff, you just have to trust it and be patient

Dude, I'm thinking about printing a lifesize of your before and after pics and putting them on my wall for motivation. Thanks for sharing that with everyone!!
