Work up to 1 hour cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with some xenedrine, and then work up to 1 more hour of cardio after your workout. If you follow a good diet and do this cardio plan you will have no problems being lean by summer. By good diet only eat clean food with a mix of PROTEIN, carbs, and fats(supplement your fats from flaxseed, udos etc.)

PROTEIN can include tuna, salmon, chicken, fat free turkey, egg whites, lean steak
carbs can include
brown rice, broccoli, assparagus, yams, oatmeal

Good advice JuiceSlut...and Rick, I hear there's 30+ Powerhouse gyms in the Detroit area...go to one, follow Juiceslut's advice and you'll be where you want in time.

i'd like to see before and after side pose bro......btw good to see you havne't heard from you in a while on aol bro.......update me peace

**JUDGE** · 06-12-2003, 02:19 PM

I think you have a good attitude. It's realistic. Keep at it and when you hit a plataeu don't worry just do some analyzing and experiment with your diet and exercise. Take it serious but have fun. Look at the longterm affects that come along with diet and exercise and not any shortterm fixes yet. I remember a quote that Ronnie Coleman follows and it just stuck with me. It says-"If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got" When you feel discouraged find ways to keep your motivation and attitude such as quotes because I would hate to see you loose your drive. Good Luck.
7am cardio does wonders by the way. no more than 30min. If you are even thinking about any juice with the stage you're at now, I would only consider fina because it helps keep your muscle while you diet down. Your natural progress right now is awesome so keep at it.

**JUDGE** · 06-12-2003, 02:24 PM

Holy shit. I didn't check out the second page. I guess I wasn't paying attention. I didn't see the most recent pics of you. Incredible.

**the_rebirth** · 06-13-2003, 03:03 PM

yeah but i like to get it in before work cause i run a construction company durin the day so we need a early start so that means my start is even eariler.. but its good dedication and i like how im makin myself look..

**stillsmall** · 06-14-2003, 01:46 AM

for cardio, instead of running the construction company, how bout you just go out and do the dirty work, lol.. i'm sure when you are done carrying big bags of bricks, there won't be a need to wwake up at 4:30 for that morning run.. heh

**ColdSore** · 06-14-2003, 01:03 PM

Awesome work bro, i know how your fellin, ive had to drop alot of weight to get to the point im at now. You should be an inspiration to every american who sets on there ass thinking about doing what youve done. And 4:30 in the AM, thats the most dedication ive ever heard of!
