I started working out at 17, my junior year of high school. A year later, my classmates really took notice. But, I only casually lifted, and didn't feel any different. I knew nothing about supplements or bodybuilding, and never thought about how I looked compared to other people. In my mind, professional athletes (football and basketball players) were so much bigger, and I looked tiny! I ate pretty healthy, but didn't have a real understanding of nutrition or protein requirements. I only weighed 165lbs back then.
So, I kept at it, and a few months before my 20th birthday, I took a few photos to capture my progress. In the 3 years that elapsed from when I first started to when I took these photos, I learned a lot about my body and nutrition. Unlike when I was younger, I ate 200grams of protein/day; entirely from whole food, never any supplements, mostly tuna and chicken. I weighed 185lbs here.
