When I Started:
Sep, 2001
How I Started:
Id been fat my whole life and always had the underlying desire to be better then what I was. My sophmore year of high school I finally got a to better myself due to the fact that id gotten a chance to go to a high school that had a gym. From then on I set out on my journey to mold the best physique i could. quickly learning that embarking on my journey without knowledge would get me little to no progress, i begin to read any peace of bodybuilding literature I could get my hands on.
Why I Love It:
As intelligent and knowleadgable as I like to believe I am, I am also essentially very vain when it comes to my outter appearance and having big muscles is simply put, the only way I want to look. I love bodybuilding because it allows me a way to express myself, a perfect outlet for my frustrations.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing others with like goals is very motivating for me and overall the feeling i get daily when i see bits and peices of my hard work start to pay off little by little.

I had been out of the gym on and off for a year, had just gotten out of the army and got back home and took alot of time off as you can see. Although I had been out of it for so long muscle memory was slowly kicking in and Id already had lost about 15 poundsof fat. But I was still fat loll.
To maintain 9% bf year round and add slabs of muslce why doing so. To always be big and lean, never been both at the same time.
Goal (Long):
For someone to call them self a bodybuilder and train as long and hard and I, I realized I was using the term loosly. I mean all aspects of my diet and nutrition were tight. My trainging progress was on point but even after six years I had never once got to the point where I could see my abs clearly. Recently "definition", or the quest for it has made me more and more inclined to call myself a "bodybuilder" I mean after all, whats the point of having all this mass and shape if I never once take the time to shed the dead weight that obscures it and actualize my true potential. I believe that is what bodybuilding is all about bringing yourself to your own personal peak of physical perfection and saying "This is me at my best". Well I plan to make it to that day soon, And by god when I make it I shall maintain that conditioning as long as possible. I hope to get to 7% bodyfat by april or so.
I alternate these 2 splits every week. first split is all heavy weighted movements while the second split is mainly higher rep 12-15 reps type GH releasing workouts. I only have 2 carb up days in the week. The other days are 10 to 20grams of carbs only. I do cardio almost everday and train...
wow your transformation is really impressive, i'm glad you posted all those update pics so we can see it in fast motion. i'm sure you're getting a lot of questions about your diet... if you have a minute can you just PM me a link to any thread where you talk about it? thanks and keep it up!
Man i don't eat enough to gain the amount of weight i'm tryin' to put on, but i am getting more muscular; maybe i'm losing bodyfat. Anyway, thnx for removing me from "stalking" territory. Keep up the sizable changes you've made in your physique. incredible!
bra,what an amazing transformation. Your progress pics are amazing. I was gonna ask what the secret is but I see if very low carbs with plenty of protein. I wish carbs (even complex ones) didn't taste so good. One day I'll get to where you are. Keep up the great work.

Still liking the CHA diet? Sorry to bother you again, still thinking about what I should go with and you've been at it long enough now, I think, to have a pretty good opinion of it.
