Yes, spent my entire summer focused on working out. Gained 45+ lbs, from 158 to ~205. I would say that was my first ever bulk phase, now I am into cutting down to 185 while keeping the muscle. My short terms goals will be to attain that weight and get more defined abs and back.

When I first started I could barely lift 20lb bicep dumbbells, despite some minor working out before. Now I can more then double that. Pull-ups are my go to. Started out 2 or 3, peaked at 10+ on easy bars, doing about 5 or 6 on the new bars at my university.

Overall a good few months with lots of progress and learning. However true strength has yet to come.

My long term work out goal is the fabled one arm pull-up. By that I mean from dead hang with a single arm to the top. Right now I can do 1 assisted one arm pull-up, with my other hand grasping my wrist/arm.
