Hello! I'm quite new to this forum so excuse me if this is not the right topic to post such a thing. My name is Slavi Todorov and I am 18 years old from Bulgaria. This is my transformation video in which I present my physique progress throughout the years. I have started doing this, because I was bullied at school. Further information about my progress in the video:

Christmas is over, which means it's time to get back on track! Current statistics: Male: age 24 Height: 5'7" BW: 170 lbs. Goals- Bodybuilding and physique building. Need a visual? Look below. AND LOOK AT MY SIGNATURE FOR BEFORE/AFTER PICS From this To this. Basically. LOL. Current measurements during bulk cycle: Chest/Back- 45" Waist- 34" Thighs- 23 1/4" Calves- 15 1/4" Arms- 13 3/4" Forearms- 11 1/4" Shoulders- ? Need to remeasure when I get home tonight Neck-? Need to remeasure. Goals- statistically before cutting: Chest/Back- 46" Waist- 33" Thighs- 25" Calves- 16" Arms- 15" Forearms- 12 1/2" Shoulders- 53" Neck- ? Need to reevaluate I will post my workouts tonight as well as PR's and 1RM's. Ryan's Genetic Strengths: I have massive legs and calves if you didn't catch that. Once weighing at 286lbs, imagine carrying that excess weight for all my life! I also come from a soldier backline, making legs even more impressive. Enduring is a gift for me. Ryan's Weaknesses: Back stability and arm growth. I have Scoliosis and Kyphosis, so my spine is naturally deformed. However, it has been a goal of mine to fix it, which is why my back is so broad now and my current deadlift 1RM is at 285 lbs [As of 12/27/14 It is now 300 lbs!] after only weight-training for 8 months (started April 10th, 2014 with a deadlift of 95 lbs and crap form) It is also the reason why I will never be able to do certain powerlifting moves, but that is okay because I can deadlift, squat, and overhead press, which is all I need. Unlike the rest of me, my arms just WILL NOT GROW! Primarily my triceps and forearms. I will need help here. Long term goals/Lifetime goals: A quick history of me- ever since I was little, people have told me that "you can't do that". Not because it would get me in trouble, but because nobody ever had faith in me, which ultimately lead me to lack faith in myself from the age 7 til what it feels like some days right now. This adventure of mine has proven time and time again that not only CAN I, but so can others! I don't want anyone to experience what I went through, and that is my purpose for my journey here. Supplements used: Protein Powder (varies depending on what flavor I want ), Dark Matter post-workout recovery and growth supplement- helps drive nutrients to their designation quicker, Men's sports multivitamin, and varying pre-workouts. There are a few I switch between- ESP and Black Annis are awesome. The multivitamin is the staple. Everything else can be replaced through food in my opinion.
