How I Started:
When I was about 16 years old, I was very overweight and out of shape. I used to get teased a lot when I was younger, and it really got on my nerves. When the summer came around, me and a friend of mine decided to join a gym, so we did. We worked out the entire summer, and made fantastic gains. When we got back to school the following fall, we had completely changed our physiques.
Why I Love It:
It provides a positive outlet for me, and keeps some sort of structure in my life.

By talking about the subject with others who like it, and by educating myself all the time and keeping up with information.

If you want to have a top-notch physique, you need to put in top-notch effort. You need to be disciplined and say no to foods that the average person wouldn’t think twice about. You need to focus your time and energy around making sure that your meals are carefully planned out in advance,...
Since I am happy with my size, this is a regular week for me. Notice I just do circuit training, to maintain leanness and get a pump in my muscles. I would NOT recommend this workout for someone looking to gain mass. Way too much cardio, and not enough heavy weight.
wat up mayne? wat kind of ab workouts do u do cuz for me, my lower abs are really lacking and wat kinda diet u have? cuz ive been losing motivation lately. I would appreciate ur help and thanks for ur time. keep up the good work and inspiring others.
great pics mate, your dedication is evident based on your physique, keep up the great work!. cheers

Hey Herve
I have a question regarding the consumption of white rice. I usually eat white rice to fuel me through my workout and after. The reason i take it after a workout is because i know your body is screaming for carbs and i think white rice is great carb after workout for muscles yo consume.. What is your opinion on this and also how much times do workout in a week and in ur bodybulding journey did u ever hit a pleatue what did u do to over come it? please answer my quetions
Herve, glad to see back on the forums bud, just saw your post on the losing fat section and I'm always in agreement with yah bud!
Twinkies and lard never work for me either, go figure!

I can appreciate the work you put in based on the before and after pics...kudos to you. Quick question: Is it best to bulk and then cut, or lean out then try to put it on gradually?
you look great man. so lean. lookin at u makes me wanna scrap the bulk and just cut lol. cant stand it, when i bulk i feel to fat, when i cut i feel to small. gona stick with the gaining phase till new year then get totally shredded!!!
