"I cut close to 30lbs in a month and a half. I have stopped bodybuilding, and I am currently training in MMA. I was 230 at my peak of bb'ing and now I am 185lbs. I want to increase strength/power at this weight and lean out"
In highschool I hardly lifted weights, but did losts of running, cardio, and played basketball for my school. I lifted once in while but didnt know what the hell I was doing, but did pushups and situps a lot. I was skinny like 150lbs. I probably was doing more of what I should not of than working out and playing ball seriously and almost lost chances of a college scholarship. In my sophmore year in college, I still wasnt lifting weights and received a near fatal back injury at work. I thank GOD for saving my life. I didnt rehab seriously and was depressed from the injury. I was just chillin with the wrong crowd and smoking and drinking my life away, until one day I realized I have to do something with my life. A year after my injury I started to workout. After throwing away my oppurtunity to play ball and years of hangin with bad elements doing negative things I realized it was time for a life reversal.
Why I Love It:
I love bodybuilding because it makes me feel good, I look better, and I am stronger. I love the pump and the fact you can mold your body into a piece of artwork. I motivates me to stay focused on school and keeps me away from drinking and smoking and bad elements in general. And how can I forget for da ladies too, always makes me feel good when I look more muscular than the average emo ****head.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by thinking of my injury and that I could of died and all the mistakes I made in the past I have to make up for. The movie Pumping Iron and Arnold S really motivate me. Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Kevin Levrone, and all the countless other greats are my heroes.
BB Accomplishments:
Personal accomplishment is just being alive in general, cause I weighed 2 lbs when born and doctors said i would not live. All the other trials and tribulations in my life that I have overcome.
No bb accomplishments, I just train. So far all natural lifter, but maybe that will change in the next 2 years For right now I'm just gonna read and research and think about my plans. I want to reach a 235lbs naturally for now and then will think if I want to get hardcore.
Forum Signature:
With the increase in cardio and boxing/mma training I am staying at 175-185lbs compared to 215-230lbs. Will post recent pics soon. Since I will not fight until 6 months from now I will gain some muscle weight and worry about cutting weight later.

ANIMAL PAK---Life is a Freakshow--
This was taken the first week I started training. I was on vaction in this pic. This was 2 years back and just shows my hardwork since.
This was taken a year after training. I was about 215lbs I was shocked myself to see the dates and that it was only a year. I trained my ass off day and night, all naturally, and it paid off. I have and for those of thinking about ph's/aas to be honest, if I could do this much in a year...
I cut close to 30lbs in a month and a half. I have stopped bodybuilding, and I am currently training in MMA. I was 230 at my peak of bb'ing and now I am 185lbs. I want to increase strength/power at this weight and lean out
Goal (Long):
I hope to not just gain strength and turn into a nonflexible slug, but also keep my flexabilty, and some speed, since I train for MMA and Boxing. My main goal is to though, build up my lower back and legs. My previous goal was to be able to bench 350lbs in the next year, but now I care more bout being able to beat this guy or what not...lol.
So far I've been keep a 3 day split and really have been not organized in my traning and unorthodox. I dont do these necessarily in this order, but same as in # of times a week.
