Here is me while I was dirty bulking and lifting thinking I knew what I was doing. I really had no clue. Although I was getting stronger and building muscle I really just looked fat and some people said it made me look alot older too. Not good.
I bulked up pretty big on this one ending at about 82 kilos and 15 percent bf. Afterwards cut down to 75 kg and 9 percent bf. Experimentation with food showed me if i try to 100 percent clean bulk i make little to no progress no matter how much i try to force down. adding a cheat day every weekend h ...
Do you tell your friends and/or family about your fitness goals?
Yes
Why or why not?
yes, but in moderation and only if they ask. I find people get annoyed quickly if you talk about it too much, but only because they are jealous they do not have the will to eat properly and exercise properly.yes, but in moderation and only if they ask.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
try to put yourself in a healthy environment and stay away from the vices that pull you down the most. Know that the only power that will get you to your goal is inside you so dig deep and find that everyday.try to put yourself in a healthy environment and stay away from the vices that pull you down the most.

What supplements do you take immediately after your workout? Why?
Protien powder, glutamine, creatine. They seem to benefit me most at that time.
Why I like this video: Ok so the powermetal is a little bit cheesy but this video has some sick vids of nearly inhuman power by some of my favorite bodybuilders.
Work has been hell lately. Lots of uneeded drama and finger pointing. I stay out of it as much as I can but sometimes the environment is way too tense.
But **** it. That doesnt mean I am going to miss my workouts or diet. I hit the gym hard yesterday starting my new routine which actually...
I have a question for ya ...decided to focus entirely on cutting fat to get super ripped and tight with low bf% and maintain my current mass. hardcore cardio running swimming etc 6 days a week with bodyweight routines to maintain mass 3 days a week. do you think with a clean diet this schedule will get me from 14% bf to 6-8% over time ? After I get bf down I will look at bulking ..do you think that schedule will actually get me results?
I am good . took a break for a month for health issues , but I am getting back to it this next week. adding in 3 swimming days with 2 running days and 3 weight workouts . I am excited . Still gunning for 8-10% bf and getting ripped as my immediate goal. how are u? how is that cut going?
You're looking better and better as you get leaner and leaner. There' a huge payoff when a mesomorph adds muscle! On my present routine, I'm getting more and more defined and more and more muscular, even my weight is trending up about 4-5 lbs. while not eating any more. The weight gain, ironically, seems to come from the ten speed riding in the a.m. with stops for body weight exercise along the way. Am interested in pix of your new house too!
just callin' in. looking good bro - keep it up. i've gone for the mass building rather than the cutting - up to 195 now - still a feint outline where the abs are supposed to be!
new pics up!the pics are in progress all marked either 2/19 or 2/20 looking forward to you critique . what has improved in the 6 months since I started lifting?
Hey what's up man, hope you are doing well. I hope that your training is going great and you are getting the results you are looking for! Thanks for you help and encouragement and provding some inspiration, appreciate it! Keep it up!
Hey! Just wondering how you go training at your gym in Osaka, in regard to your tattoos. I have been spending a couple of weeks each year in Osaka (Noda), and tried to find a gym - but each time I approach a gym - I am either told I cannot train, or I have to completely cover up. As I am tattooed on my arms and down to my lower legs - I would have to wear a full track suit. I cannot train like this -made do with a small boxing gym near JR Fukushima n - but it is not very well equipt for weights.
Alright, I am just not sure where to go from now you know...still pretty fairly new to all this. So a clean bulk, build muslce and then go for cutting?
keep me posted man ,,, a caution ,,,, having less then 4% bf can be unhealthy (heart problems etc ) make sure you really can and need to be that low (3%) ... I am back at the gym last few days and loving it its a great counter to stress !
thanks man... I am ok ...I fell out of the gym routine with the holidays , today is my first day back ... I hope I have not lost too much ground .... I was at 14.5% hope to get to 8-10% by March ... check out my new tattoo... I also hope you'll subscribe to my forum thread, I keep my progress there alot and some good thoughts and stuff . Hope to hear from you soon
