So far So good!
Well I came to this forum to not only learn about steroids , but to get back into the loop of being fit. I took a 10 year lay off from the gym. I think it was burnout over all. I always been fit most of of life. Save a couple years when I went down the dark road of the club scene lol. Im glad I made it out alive. Anyways, I was about 203 lbs if I remember correctly when I stopped. I think I was in the 9-11% bf range. Ive never believed in supplements. Protein powder is the only thing I ever consumed and a shit ton of food. I just always wanted to get bigger and never tried to cut. This time around I am learning how to diet and how to get that dry look. I think I have a good base to look decent dry. These two pics are just of me over two months. I still have a ways to go. Mainly my problem atm is working the belly fat off. My diet is coming around hopefully soon. Money is tight for now. So I sometimes have to just buy stuff so I don't starve lol. I am stuck at the apartment gym currently. Once I can afford it, I am joining a gym. For now, I have to use machines and dumbbells that only go to 50 lbs
Im absorbing everything the site has to offer and glad I found it. I find motivation in the pics I see and posts that people make. I hope this one does to for someone else.

I got into a real gym last week finally. Although, not my ideal gym. It is a matter of convenience and 2 miles from my house. Saves on the gas money I joined Bally's. It was like heaven walking in there though. I didnt know where to start to be honest. So much to play with! Ive been hitting my muscles harder than ever since Ive joined. My whole body got nice and sore!
Im currently fluctuating between 210-215. Im guessing 13-15%. Trying to get more strict on my diet. I have always naturally been a muscle gainer. So I think thats whats happening possibly. Its a good problem to have I guess lol. My goal of 203 lbs might not be possible at my 12 week mark coming up. I am toying with the clen idea for a boost. I would love to get to 8% or whatever it takes to get a dry look. It will be hard with my genetics, but possible I think. Im having problems staying satiated after I eat. Im trying to include more greens to help, but it only helps so much. Sometimes making it to the 3 hour mark is rough. Overall, Im looking better than ever. Im getting my vascularity back in my arms and portions of my body. The stomach is still holding a little fat and wont budge it seems.Last edited by AdamGH; 07-18-2008 at 01:05 AM.

Oh , wanted to add something. This past month Ive been consuming a protein powder with creatine in it. I think it may be the reason why the weight seems to be stalling a little as well. I finished the container and will be switching to a whey protein powder only. I want to see if I picked up some unneeded water weight from the creatine.

Since Ive been off the creatine my weight is dropping. So it might be what I thought. Im looking better than my last pic at this point imo. Not a lot but you can see subtle differences. As I get the money, going to try and get some clen to help boost some fast loss. Not to worried about losing muscle. Im 5'10" 210 lbs, Ive got decent amount on me.

Yes I did. I kinda plateaued over past 3 weeks unfortunately. I was hovering around 210-215. im down to 209 now. I had to tweak my diet as shown above to keep the weight coming off. More should start coming off soon. I think your body can shed fat rather quickly, but once you get to a certain point you have to get stricter with the diet. The 12 week mark is July 26. I wanted to be at 203 by then, but so be it.

Just to remind you, I trained good part of my life up until 10 years ago. It was about 13 years of my life involved in weight training. I had muscle still underneath the fat I gained. It was just out of shape. It might have helped me in my weight loss. I am no expert though and can only say what I have experienced. The first couple months have been nothing special as far as diet goes. I just cut out the crap. I drink only water and no other liquids, ever. I tried to eat 5-6 small meals a day every 3 hours.
Here is some other stuff I avoid:
dairy, breads, mayo, fruits(except for pwo shake when i drink one), salt(use mrs dash instead)
I do use natural butter(unsalted) for the pan when making scrambled egg whites with oats. You have to be smart with what you eat. Make good food choices. Like pan pizza from Pizza Hut isnt a good food choice anymore unfortunately. I use to have pizza like every other day lol. I would smother it in Velveeta cheese..mmm.
I dropped 20 lbs doing that alone. Now I have reached a point where now my diet needs to get more strict. So thats what I am doing. Not much to report since I just started. I am down to 208 lbs as of this morning though. So it is working. I can see my stomach taking shape. It is really cool.
My workouts are based on what I have learned about my body and how it reacts. So please dont expect it to work for you, but you are welcome to try it.
day 1: chest, shoulders, 20 min HIIT
day 2: back, biceps, 20 min HIIT
day 3: legs, abs
day 4: cardio 45-60 min
repeat
4-5 days is plenty of rest for each body part. My workouts take no more than a hour. Im trying to lose weight and cut. Not really concerned about gaining muscle. If I do, then so be it. My shoulder routine is short for a reason. IMO, I work part of my shoulders on day one, the rest of my shoulder gets hit on my back day. Also, I do allow myself a day off in the week at times. Sometimes you just don't have time. So my day offs aren't scheduled. They just come as needed.
routines:
example exercises, they change a little bit every 6 weeks.
chest:
barbell bench 3x10
dumbbell incline bench 4x10
cable flys 3x10
Dips(wide grip as possible) 3x12-15 ( i would do weighted but gym doesnt have attachment)
shoulders:
dumbbell press(with back support) 4x10
upright row 4x10
back:
front lat pulldowns 4x10
dumbbell rows 4x10
seated cable rows 4x10
biceps:
seated curls(with back support, so you dont swing and cheat -rotate hand as you come up) 4x10
cable curls( single arm movement- these are done slow and hard) 4x10
legs:
barbell squats 4x10
leg press 4x10
leg extensions 3x10
leg curls 3x10
standing clave raises(machine) 4x10Last edited by AdamGH; 08-13-2008 at 10:35 PM.

Ok, I have updated pics. Ill restate my stats for people not wanting to read whole thread. First I like to say the pics suck and not what I wanted. I feel dumb asking someone to take pics for me so I got only these crappy self pics. I wanted to get better angle of my back cause I think it is my best feature and is built well. Oh well.. another time....
