When I Started:
Nov, 2006
How I Started:
I wanted to feel better and be healthier. Wanted to look better.

It's pretty easy, just because I feel so good, and it does so much for confidence and social ife.
BB Accomplishments:
Reduced bodyfat from 21% to 8.5% (hydrostatic) and weight from 215 to 170. (update: down to 7% bf, June 2008)
In the past year (to April '08), went from 13% to 8.5% bf, 10 lbs. wt. loss with only 1 lb. of muscle loss (2-3% is average)
Got abs. Learned how to eat right and which protein supplements work best for me.
Key thing: do your cardio AFTER weights, to deplete glycogen in muscles, so body has to burn fat for energy. Reach 80% of your max heart rate / 15 minutes of cardio daily or 30 mins. 3x/wk.
Eat unlimited vegetables or low glycemic fruit when...
Thanks man. It's obvious you are working hard! You look fantastic. As for building the intracostals & serratus, I don't have a lot of insight. Just a lot of twisting ab work & leg lifts. Wish I could be of more help.
thanks jamie....and I couldn't agree with you more....why bust your tail in the gym if your not going to follow it up with the proper eating plan so you can look lean and mean!!!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? I'VE MISSED YA BRO! YOUR NEW PICS ARE SENSATIONAL....LEANER, YOUNGER!! SOOO MANY FAKE PEOPLE AROUND HERE...REALLY NEED YOU AROUND! PLEASE ADD ME?~ DAVE.
Hey BIG JOE, long time no hear from. Hope all is well. Got new pics up & am in the middle of a 8 week challenge. Would love your feedback. Also, I'm adding you to my Friend list. Hope you don't mind. Be Blessed, Dave.
Joey,did you say abs look better now? I am turning green as I read your response. I really think diet is my main problem. No bad foods, just hidden salt & food timing sabatage.
