Mirin' Mondays

18 (almost 19) years old, lifting for less than 2 years without trying to count macros or calories, basically winging it. I started at around 140 lbs. and now I'm up to high 170s. Lifts are bp-260/sq-360/dl-415.

Starting my bulk as soon as I convince my parents to stop buying me junk and fast food so they can save money in the long run by buying stuff I actually want. I'll be commuting to my university so I'll still be living with them.

Here's my back. Inb4 no traps. I didn't really work them throughout high school because I didn't need large traps in track, I was more focused on being powerful, but now they're a priority. Any tips/advice to getting joocy traps is much appreciated.

Here's my front. Hopefully during a few MM months down the line I can refer you guys back to these pics here so you can see how small I am/used to be (dat body dysmorphia).

Here's my quads, and my hairy ass calves lol. My legs have always been super powerful, but never looked super powerful. They will be one of my main focuses on my bulk.

If I feel as if I've gained enough muscle at the end of my bulk (with a possible mini cut before June since I'm visiting a friend in Cali and I don't want to look DYEL around her), I may do a competition just to get my feet wet and to have fun, and just for those purposes. My main priority now is just gaining as much size as I efficiently can.

Tl;DR: Went from DYEL twig skinny to "hey man, nice back". Possible competition in a little more than a year if I feel comfortable with how the bulk went.
