"I'd like to lose enough bodyfat to get to 6-8%, and then gain 20lbs more of muscle, while keeping my waist as slim as possible."

Gym Location: Illinois
When I Started: Sep, 2001
How I Started: I was a fat kid when I was younger.. not huge, but 20lbs overweight most of the time. Everyone doubted me because of that, and pretty much overnight, I decided it's time to show them all. You remember those guys in school, rather they we're jocks, etc? The one's who looked better than you, and treated you like shit...anyone who was ever overweight knows the one's I mean.
What happened to THOSE guys after High School? They let themselfs go, and YOU built yourself up into something greater than they ever were, or could hope to be...that's what I wanted, and what I achieved.
Why I Love It: My Tip To You.

Here's my own tip, for those looking to transform themselfs.
This is what I did, and what worked for me.
Feel free to view my progress pics, and you decide for yourself.

Losing Weight
1. Keep protein intake high, 1.5g per lb of body weight is good.
2. Keep carbs LOW .5g per lb of body weight, or maybe even lower.
3. Keep the bad fats down as far as humanly possible.

Gaining Muscle
1. Keep protein intake high, 2g per lb of body weight.
2. Choose the weight you want to be, and eat like you were that weight.
3. NO cheat days, no junk food, no white breads, stay away from starches, no added sugars. Water, Milk, during this time.

Working Out
Adding Mass : 4 sets, 8-10 reps
Strength : 5 sets, 5 reps
* Change these 2 back and forth, to keep your body in shock, and keep it growing, and adapting.

Another tip is, change your workouts weekly. Dont start out doing chest the same way each time. Start with bench one time, start with chest press or flys the next, etc. Keep your body adapting, and it will grow like crazy, doing the same shit all the time (IMO) can slow that growth down.

Cardio
Yes, when losing weight, you need to do cardio.
How much, and how often depends on your body, and how it reacts.
I do 3 days of cardio, 2 hours per day, regardless of cutting or bulking.
I choose MMA training, boxing, etc as my cardio, and it works for me.

Supplements
1. Protein
2. Multivitamin
3. Creatine
4. Glutamine
5. Omega 3 or 6.
6. BCAA/EAA

This is all you NEED, but to spicen shit up, each month, add something new in.
Run Animal MStak this month, XFactor after, then maybe SuperTest the month after that. Don't stay on the same non-essential supplements for more than a month, unless it takes that long or longer to see results. Keep shocking that body.
How I Stay Motivated: The most important aspect aside from your diet, is your mindset.
I want you to say **** YOU to every doubt you have, and anyone who doesn't believe in you. Do not let yourself be surrounded by people who bring stress into your world, this brings YOU down. You need to tell yourself everyday that you ARE getting bigger, you ARE getting stronger. Walk into the gym, and mentally talk to yourself. Tell yourself that weight aint shit. Tell yourself noone in this ****ing gym is on my level, not the huge bastard benching 500lbs, not that skinny ****ing punk curling 10lbs in the squat rack area, not the trainers, noone. Your above everyone else, and noone can stop you from being the best. Believe, and it WILL happen.


My last advice is this...

Rather you go to a public gym, a high school gym, etc, you have to have respect for everyone else there. Never let yourself fall to a level, where you have to make fun of others, because they're not as strong, ripped, or massive as you. We all start out at the bottom, but you'll never reach the top, if you can't take a moment, to have respect.
BB Accomplishments: For those that asked, my post workout shake is fairly simple.
60-70g whey protein isolate + 1 scoop of oats + 1 whole banana + 1 1/2 cups 2% milk. Blend together, and follow with 1,000mg fish oil.
Forum Signature: My personal top 4 fav bodybuilders of all time.
1.Levrone
2.Coleman
3.Arnold
4 .McGrath

Motivation...something I didn't have, for a long ass time.

I started out overweight, then became average sized, only to gain more unneeded weight in High School. All the while my ego and self confidence suffered greatly.

My grades started to slip, I dreaded even showing up to school,...
