5 years of progress

So I am 5'9 and currently 165 lbs. Before 2013, I was a very skinny person. I thought genetically I was screwed and that the gym would be just a waste of time back in my 20's. When I hit 30 years old, I hated how I looked, the skinny arms, small frame...I would be wearing 2 tshirts at the same time in the summer in order to make me look big...which in retrospect was so stupid and silly. Finally, when I was going to celebrate my 30th birthday, I said that I had to make changes in my life. How could I say that genetically I was screwed when I never gave the gym a chance. So in March of 2013 I decided to apply at a gym and promised myself to go to the gym even on days when I didn't feel like it. I also changed my eating habits. At first, I thought eating healthy was the only way to build muscles, but over time I discovered IIFYM (If it fits your macros) and I learned in the process how to lean bulk and cut. The discovery of IIFYM was a big aha moment for me, I couldn't believe you could lose weight while eating your favorite food (I still try to maintain an overall healthy diet, but I didn't restrict any food). Another thing that helped me in the process is reading articles from Mike Matthews and the www.aworkoutroutine.com website. Infact, I still use the workouts to this day from the book I bought on that website. Mind you, there are other workouts that are just as effective as the one I bought from the aworkoutroutine.com, but I really enjoyed that booklet workout programs and the exercises. So here I am 5 years later. Can my body still improve?? Yes, but when I compare today vs what I was 5 years ago, I am much more happier now. What used to be a chore before (going to the gym and meal preparation) is now my passion. Here is the results including pictures of my last bulk and cut.
