This past spring, I took part in BodyBuilding.com’s 2011 Transformation Challenge. I began my transformation on January 30, 2011, where I took and posted my “Before” pictures. These, I must say, were quite depressing to say the least. However, the most definitely fueled my motivate for the 12 week challenge. My final day of the challenge, where I posted my “After’ pictures was April 23, 2011.

I started my transformation by following Vince Delmonte’s 21 Day Fast Mass Building Program. Although I didn’t follow any sort of diet plan during this, I did see some gains. However, because I didn’t eat probably, these gains didn’t last and before I knew it I was back down to my starting weight of 165lbs.

I decided that in order to give myself a shot in winning this challenge, I needed to create my own workout and meal plan to follow. I really wanted to win this thing, but I wanted to do it on my own and not through someone else’s program. Although, I very much recommend Vince Delmonte’s programs.

I consider the first month of my challenge, where I used Vince’s program, as simple just a warm-up for what I was about to do to my body next. My weight at the end of the first month remained the same. I weighed 165lbs with a bodyfat percentage of about 12.

Over the next two months, I went through a 5 week “Bulking” phase and then a 3 week “Cutting Phase”. By the end of these two months, I gained 10 lbs, so I weighed 175lbs and dropped to 7% body fat!

Here are my Before and After pictures:
