"I want to trim my waist by 2 inches and grow my chest by 1 inch."
Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Sex:
Male
Age:
44
Location:
New Jersey, United States
Occupation:
Finance
Personal Website:
Gym:
Colosseum, or hotels
Gym Location:
wherever the heck I am.
When I Started:
May, 1987
How I Started:
The skinny kid, wanted to bulk up and get stronger. I got fat, then dieted (Badly) and lost some of the muscle I had. Then did South Beach, from 250 to 209 pounds, and have maintained at 220 since.
Why I Love It:
I honestly think I have more muscle mass now then I did at 30. Which is not saying a lot. But it's something.
How I Stay Motivated:
My legions of adoring fans send me keys to late-model Mercedes Benz motor cars. Honest. They do. Now go ahead, join in. Hint: I like silver.
BB Accomplishments:
I'd have to say it was not puking and giving up when I was working out with "the Crew" (James (50+) Chuck (40+) and Shareef (30+)) when my trainer, Paul hooked me up with 'The Crew' when he left to shack up with his honey in Brasil. They later said they expected the 'White Guy' to give up. Well it took me a while, but I have to say, I proved them right!
Forum Signature:
"If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottages princes' palaces." (that Portia, smart as a whip, isn't she great?)

Man of a thousand faces? Actor in a hundred roles? No, chump with a dozen rolls.
I don't think this calls for a 'cutting' cycle so much as an amputation... pushing 220 and I look like Dolly Dimples at the side-show.
I want to trim my waist by 2 inches and grow my chest by 1 inch.
Goal (Long):
My waist is too soft and saggy, my organs take up too much room, I think they got kind of cocky in my 30's and started taking up all the space they wanted. Take that, spleen! Suck in that gut, liver! Drop and give me 20, lower GI tract! Ha. We'll whip them into shape. Uh, huh.
OK, back in off the road for a bit (don't know how long) so, I joined the local ironhead gym, 1.5 miles from my house. Now I should get some real actual measurable current lifting stats and set some reasonable goals, too.
I try to do cardio 3-4 times a week, and lift 3x a week, but rarely make it that often. I want to get faster at 5k's and start doing 10k's, and eventually work up to a mini triathalon.
That's It, the beer will get ya! I was going to post a new pic of my progress but my camera crapped out on me this morning. Im goin to get one up as soon as I can.
I like to mix in squats deadlifts and shrugs into my routine. They seem to give me great results. But reducing bodyfat has been a slow process. I really don't have the best diet.
thanks for the comment but I only want to lose 10lb at the moment and go from 190 to 180 at the lowest. I lost 20lb last summer when I was around 220ish and dropped down to 200
You've got a keen eye, Beefgut, and you're right. I also claim to be right...far right. But libertarian is, admittedly, a more accurate label. Maybe the company you keep, the interesting ones you describe[?], tend to work hard and have a lot to show for it? Or don't work hard & have little to show for it? I'm hazarding guesses here!
