Holy hell!!! Nova, I'm at a loss for words. You have officially, without a doubt, achieved the "Creepishly Skin Tight" look.

All I can say is congratulations. You've made me proud.

I didn't do a damn thing Nova. I wasn't the one starving or getting up at 4:30am to do cardio. Well...... actually I was. But that was for me.

You did it bro. Congrats. Now go have a beautiful carb up day tomorrow, and maybe a desert if you're feeling brave.

To anyone who thinks they need steroids to help them lose bf................ pictures speak a thousand words.

Bad ass dude!!! Your physique is exactly what I'm after! You look terrific. How often did you cheat/carb up and how long did your transformation take?

Nice Job once again.

i didn't "cheat" i did have a few nights where i drank there towards the beginning and middle, but i never cheated and went all out with food. i carbed up only after i restricted my carbs for a few days or after about 3 weeks. so only about 4-5 times i think, not often. thanks for the kind words, and the diet should be up this weekend when i get her started.

**Quil** · 07-07-2006, 06:16 PM

Dude....wow. Very impressive results, man. Congratulations, you certainly earned it. BULK TIME!!!

**IBdmfkr** · 07-07-2006, 07:52 PM

thank you project. with such little time under my belt here and in the training world. i think it is great that i have found what works best for me in terms of cutting. i figure that i want to find what works BEST for me now, so i canm work on everything else later. knowing what foods work for me, and what exercises and routines provide the most benefits, is an aspect of training many never look at and take for granted. i wanted to know those things frst before i got into the game. now i'm ready to bulk and figure out exactly what makes me grow!

**adam969** · 07-12-2006, 07:45 PM

Nova, I am new to this site began reading your thread. Read I couple pages and skipped to the end. I will definatley read the whole thing. Anyway, very impresive, the school work too. My Dad is on the addm. board at a med school and I know how competitive it is. I am trying to cut as well in a since, but my story is a little diff. You are an inspiration thanx

**novastepp** · 07-12-2006, 07:51 PM

thanks adam, and good luck. you can learn so much here so read up and work hard bro!

**UpstateTank** · 07-12-2006, 08:12 PM

**novastepp** · 07-12-2006, 08:20 PM

thanks a lot man. i'm beginning to up my cals now, and i am about ready to begin teh bulk. i have been in the gym the past few days peparing for my bulk. it will start sometime soon. proally monday. but i won't have teh all out go it all starting until mid august because time is preciously small a,d my ability to eat at the appropriate times is trashed because of work. i do my best, but its no where near my potential when school starts.
