I was always in the gym, and did nothing but play sports growing up. Then I got married and had kids. (Basically, I allowed myself to come last.) My brother has recently taken up bodybuilding. Seeing his dedication and no excuses attitude helped me to realize how far I had fallen. I either had to do this, or leave my wife and kids for an early grave. It's not a hard choice when you realize the severity of your lack of action.
Why I Love It:
It was scary walking into a gym after a 9 year absence and for the first time in your life being the fat guy. Once I got going though I quickly remembered how great it felt to achieve your goals and the sense of accomplishment that came along with it.
How I Stay Motivated:
It's pretty easy to stay motivated when you have a younger brother that is 4 inches shorter then you showing you up in every aspect you use to dominate him in. I am the bigger brother and I will not remain the smaller one for long!!!
BB Accomplishments:
So far I have been cutting to get to a point I can build from. I am down 70 lbs. total since March and up 10 lbs. in lean body mass. 50 more lbs. to go and I will unleash my fury on muscle mass abilities...

What CorruptSilence Is Up To:
Oct 28, 2009
CorruptSilence changed Body Fat from 31% to 33.5%, a gain of 2.5 percentage points in 115 days
This is the first ever picture of me with my shirt off. Bitter sweet I guess. 51.5 Lbs. lost feels so good, yet I have so far to go. These are gonna be funny some day.
Don't get complacent. It has a bad negative effect...
My goal is to be athletically fit again. A sixpack and overall health are what I'm gunnin' for...
Goal (Long):
I was always athletic and healthy growing up. I lived in the gym and playing baseball year round. Then I got married, had kids and my focus shifted. I went from 180 lbs. to 315 lbs. before I was able to wake up from my trance. I want my sixpack. I want my health. I want my endurance and confidence back. I want to be 210-220 lbs. and 10% body fat. I know I can, and I am on my way. I'm hoping to cut the fat by my next anniversary. (06-03-2009) Then from there I will build and cut to reach my desired body.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 120 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%

I target 10 reps per set. I usually hit 10 on the first set, then 8, then 6, then I'm lucky to get 4 or 5 up. I lift heavy. I'm hoping it will help maintane the muscle I currently have while I am cutting. And I will continue to lift heavy to gain mass later on.I target 10 reps per set.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
Never more then a minute. Typically 15 to 30 seconds to allow my focus to regroup. I want to keep the heart rate and the intensity up.

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Meh... I'm not much into celebrity worship. I guess if I had to pick one I might go with Vin Diesel though. I don't want to be a bean pole pretty boy. I want to be bigger, but still cut.

I've noticed competition is our biggest drive, so: First one to there goals gets a free dinner and the other one has to wash the other's "project car!" I'll actually live up to it, this time! My car will be shiny by then, as well! March 2010!
Damn... 81 lbs, that is really impressive bro! Sorry to hear about the rough months, but you are back and that is all that counts! Keep moving forward and keep me posted!
Hey man, same here. The job hunt knocked me down for a couple weeks but I have been hitting it hard the last week and a half. It feels really good to get back on it. How are you doing?
Yeah, the video is cool! It's got a couple cheesy parts, but overall, it's pretty inspiring! I guess, mostly, because that's how I remember football practice!
