I will be strarting a 9 week program of weight training 3x a WEEK FULL BODY PARTS AND FOLLOWING IT UP WITH 25-30 MINUTES OF CARDIO.
STATS
6'2
352 LBS
BF %27-29%
TRAINED OFF AND ON SINCE HIGH SCHOOL
I have a clean diet in place and a very supportive wife !

I will be doing a base of TESY CYP 400 mg a week.
The majority of my weight gain came from getting married and havind a kid all in 3 years. You know when youre happy you eat !

Any way I want to thank
BASK8KACE, NATHAN, BUDDA_RED, PETE, SHREDZ,AND RIGHTON for helping me get the base foundation of knowledge to begin my journey !!!

Good luck my man!!!

Just a quick question...If you are just getting back or (in) to the training after a lay off, then why start with a cycle. You will see amazing results in the first 30-90 days without any AS....Pretty soon you will be hitting the cardio for 45 mins and at 15% without any AS use...

IMO I would hit the weights and the cardio hard for 16-20 weeks then re-evaluate your AS use. However, as you said you did speak with a large base of people before and appear to have a set goal and route to get there. I wish you the best of luck and truely hope you stick with it and achieve the transformation you are seeking!!!!!!

GOODLUCK and TRAIN HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its 8:01 am ! I got up this morning @ 4:45 and got to the gym by 5:10 I cranked out 25:46 minutes of cardio. ( Had to watch the clock for work):-)
I traineed Chest and Tris today . 3 sets of each body part and my reps were 12-10-8. Got home around 6:20 had a whey protein shake and took my boy Bandit out. ( OH, HES MY 105 Lb black lab). I made 4 eggs 2 yolks and I am eating them as I am typing. Its now 8:04 am. I will be eating two chicken breast for lunch and around2:30 I will have 1.5 cans of tuna.
I feel good. I was sweating like a whore in church on the treadmill. I definately feel more alert doing the am workout. And I was told that its better to do cardio on an empty stomach inthe am.
XXL SAV SAINT Terinox and My boy SHREDZ ( Nice looking out !) Thanks for the support and the posts.. This will be logged on evry day I go to the gym.

I didnt weigh in I will do that in two weeks. Dont want to get discouraged !
Tuesday, I get to go to the candy store :-)

I'm sitting here with Chicken breast and rice. He asks me if I want anything and then starts telling me how since I am working out so hard I deserve to eat.

Neddless to say after a20 minute debate about cheat days and me not wanting to look like him ;-) he settled own ! Next time I'll rip his fing head off.

My wife commented last night that she has never seen me this driven before to attain this goal. I told her this time is differnent , I explained about the brotherhood on the boards and the support and encouragement I am getting from all of you and her ! ( She is eating the same way I am pretty much..

**sav22** · 07-26-2002, 02:09 PM

Nuke where y'ah been my man?! Hope your just too tired from running on that treadmill that you just haven't been able to get on. Anyways bro I'm waiting for a report from you

Keep it up!

**nuke** · 07-26-2002, 02:30 PM

I'm here bro. I am slacking !!!!

Well today I went to he gym but I didnt lift I did 45 minutes of cardio.
I had a shity day of eating. I didnt eat bad . I hardly ate. I had egg whites for breakfast. And a salad for lunch with cjicken breast. Ever since the posting of the pics. I have been focusing more attention to my cardio..

Question to the board ? Should I keerp lifting as heavy as I was before and do my cardio ? Or should I focus more on cardio for a month or so and then resume with both ?? I dont want to lose my muscle that is hidden so well under the blubber..

Anyone ???

**sav22** · 07-26-2002, 02:40 PM

Keep lifting bro...you may want to move it to lighter weight, higher reps...what do you guys think?

**AZlifter** · 07-26-2002, 02:49 PM

IMO...keep hitting the weights heavy. You want to keep as much mass as you can while cutting the fat down. I tend to do in the rep range of 6-8 and push out heavy enough weights to where i FAIL in this rep range. (of course after proper warm-up).

Keep it up bro........

AZ

**nuke** · 07-26-2002, 03:06 PM

AZ,SAV .....

**BIG MAN FROM AR** · 07-29-2002, 11:01 AM

you can do it man just keep positive. its just food man it taste good for a minute and you feel like shit for a while after. so cheating is not worth it.
good luck bro. anybody that remembers my pics seen that it can be done. i lost 90 pounds in 5 months. email me aat [email protected]

**nuke** · 07-30-2002, 06:59 AM

Im Back !!!! Sorry folks.
8:50 am. Tuesday morning.
Eating thse good old egg whites at my desk again. Had a great workout this morning. Did 25 minutes of cardio ass well as chest and tris.

Idid 2-3 exercises per part. I got an awesome pump on tris today.

My reps were 12 -10- 8 on all sets and then a final set, light to failure.
The key for me today and i cant beleive this was taking a 30 minute nap after I lifted. I was home by 6:10 am and didnt get in the shower until 7:00. KEY !!!! Usually I go straight to work and I feel tired by like 11:00.

Anyway, I go see the candy man today..... 600mg BRING IT ON !!

Talk to you all soon .
Nuke
