Hi all,
Been a lurker for awhile, recently decided to make an account.
I've learned a lot from just lurking and reading up as much as I can, but I figured it was time to make an account and get acquainted with all of the members.
Basics:
Age; 21
Body Type; Severe Ectomorph
Height; 6ft
Weight; ~140
BF%; ~9%-10%
Training Experience; 1 year nearly to the day
I started training last February 17th, I began at 115lbs. Yes, 115.
I have had one of the most hyperactive thyroids my doctor has ever seen, and was living a very unhealthy lifestyle. Around last January, I met this dude who had been going to the gym religiously for a long time who had a body type exactly like mine at one point who worked his way up to 220lbs at 6'2 at roughly 6% bodyfat. He's become a pretty popular bodybuilder now and has a large following. Since I met him and saw how he carried himself and after speaking to him, it motivated me to pull myself out of the position I was in.
Training wise, I was training for a good 6 months without properly dieting, managed to get to 125 within the first 4 months by stuffing my face with food. I'm now on a fairly strict diet and training regime that i'm trying to follow. Diet will be posted below.
Why I'm Here:
I'm here to learn everything I can about bodybuilding, cycling, and getting myself to a point where I am in a position to begin a cycle. I'm not that type of guy who just wants to hop on a bicycle because i'm under the impression it's going to be easy-it's not. I've read a lot on here, and gained quite a bit of knowledge so I feel that investing some time into posting would be good.
Goals:
Short Term; 160lbs,9-10% BF, in a good position to begin a cycle.
Long Term Goals; 200lbs ~8% BF, at least 1-2 cycles under my belt, ability to maintain size, fullness, symmetry, and physique year round.
I'm sick of being the little guy, and I push myself daily to the point of breaking. I'm here to become the bull.
Current Diet:
Breakfast; (Working to Modify into a shake of some kind with nearly the same Macros)
4 Large Eggs
2 Cups of Quaker Multigrain Oatmeal
100g Chicken Breast
Meal 2;
20g Unsalted Peanuts
30g Whey Protein
Lunch;
350g Chicken Breast
1 Cup Broccoli
4 Cups Whole Wheat Pasta
Meal 4;
20g Unsalted Cashews
30g Whey Powder
Dinner;
200g Tilapia
2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
100g Whole Wheat Bread
Meal 6;
30g Whey Powder
2 Cups Cottage Cheese
Thanks for viewing my first thread, and I hope to get to know you all better and become a helpful asset to the forum.
PS:
Any tips anyone would like to leave me would be greatly appreciated. Anything you think that someone new to the forum should know as well.

I really hope that's the case. I feel like it'll be hard as hell to reach that point, it's felt like a massive struggle getting to where I currently am let alone another 50ish pounds.
