Stats

[jeffylyte]

I feel like a midgit here.

6'2" 185 12-13.5% (depending on if I cheat).

Of course when I was in HS (and first three years of college) I was ~140 lbs. I'd say I bulked up decently in the interim. It is also completely "natural". Not that I havent been tempted, just want to see what I can do without "help"

Started lifting when I was 18. Did a teen show six months later, got my ass kicked. I placed 5th, the top three guys were on so much gear they were already losing hair at 17-18 yrs old. Went into the military, and was suddenly in a job where I was traveling 200 days a year, not good for training. Got out, and hit the weights with a vengance 8 months ago. So, I would say off and on for 10 years, with the last 8 months solid hardcore. Was going to doa cycle, but my source ended up with fake gear, so I am sticking natural for now. Pics are in the Members Cycle Results, since I was planning on showing pre and post cycle images.

this is referring to my intro where i posted that I had 19 inch arms, well right now,which is a good bit of time after I posted first on this, my arms measure 17 and 1/4 but at one point I had them up to 18. I dont know where the 19 came from. honestly, but i can assure you that my arms are not 19,sorry for the confusion,my weight has changed since also

lifted a little in high school and when I was in the military, didn't really know what I was doing. Got out of military and quit smoking gained lots of weight, up to 290lbs. Started lifting in Jan 02 seriously, and reading the boards on here. Have now dropped to 257lbs and trying to get ripped. Haven't ever used steriods, at this point I don't plan on it, but who knows what the future holds. Just wanna grow as much naturally as I can. In it for the long haul, love the way it feels when you see your body changing. Has became a lifestyle to me.

[str82hellnback]

HEY BIGJ,IF YOUR STATS ARE RIGHT THEN YOU WOULD BE 257 OR SO @ 10 PERCENT BODYFAT,THAT SOUNDS LIKE ALMOST PRO STATUS TO ME BRO? MAYBE THAT WAS A TYPO OR MAYBE I CALCULATED WRONG BUT IF YOU ARE 257 @ 10% BODYFAT THEN WELCOME TO THE FUCKING BOARD BRO B/C MAN DO WE NEED TO TALK, WELCOME ABOARD

[str82hellnback]

I think you meant 23-25 percent bodyfat not pounds of fat, right? anyhow you are still a big guy and i commend you on your achievements for the weight you lost.

[str82hellnback]

Whooops. sorry about the ALL CAPS bro's, it was accident,you all know how that goes. peace

'sup guys ... newbie here, so I'll introduce:

5'11"
175 lbs
13% bf (est.)
15" arms
42" chest
32" waist
23" legs
16" calves
30 years old

I've dabbled with bodybuilding since early HS. Got real sick 6 years ago and wasted away to 135 lbs, then 3 years ago some medication shot me up around 190 (all fat)! I was back down to 180 last November when I finally made BB a priority. IT WORKED! I've seen great gains and lost 2% bf since February! My goals? I'd like to add about 20lb and get down to around 10%.

Great board!

Umm....no cycles so far, as if you couldn't tell.
Started to workout to gain some strength and speed for hockey, started seeing what I liked and got really serious and starting getting good results.

My best lift was 365lb deadlift for 4 reps. I almost passed out
Planning to start cycle in near future consisting of Prop/Eq/Winny.
Wish me luck.

And that's my skinny ass in my avatar.

Yes Billy I did ask, goodness i should known you'd come on here with that MOUTH! LOL just kidding - good story bro - no worries I LOVE hearing this stuff - besides this is what this forum is for - and Crazy Russian - good job bro!!! GOOD strength stats pound for pound


I got into building at about 14-15, started juice at 16 - NOT RECOMMENDED - IT WAS A MISTAKE (thats my disclaimer <G>) spent a couple years off and now am driving full speed again - 28years old, good amount of exp with AS - been cycling for about 12 years

I started lifting cause I come from VERY small stock and I wanted so badly to play football - I wanted to find something I could be passionate about in life - when I started getting big the coaches were coming to me - I thought I was on top of the world - then they explained the lifting routine and I realized right then - I WAS passionate about something it was lifting - it had turned into my life, I couldnt take the time off and purposely not lift for months at a time or slim up for any reason - I never played Fball - I found what I was looking for already. I just started powerlifting hard and trying to bulk up. The only sport where someone wears their talent. progress and dedication around with them - I mean could you tell that Van Gogh was an incredible painter by looking at him walking down the street? I became so dedicated to sculpting my body as if I were an artist painting a picture - THIS was my product, my master piece and I have NEVER received such pleasure from any drug, sex or thrill as I do when someone completely anonymous comments on physique. Wierd as it may sound I get such a high when I go out and everyone looks your way in the bar, or restaurant or a clerk says something to you or people stare at you in department stores etc. ALL tangible symbols of acheivement. It reminds me when I get a comment a couple times a day that I have DONE something with myself and excelled to the best of my ability at that particular point.

Bodybuilding isn't a sport or a hobby, lifting is, bodybuilding is a lifestyle. It's a way to be.

There you go Billy - how's that for deep - just wanted to make ya feel better about your post lol

That is a great post MIKE... it really is..

I also come from a TALL and VERY skinny stock !!!

I am now at 6'1 and 240lbs body fat not sure ???

I see some abs but not ripped in any manner.

Anyway when i look in the mirror all I see is a little skinny ass kid !!!!

Never a 240lb guy, which is not huge but not small, and really hate it !!

Some day i hope to reach a point i can look in the mirror and like what i see !!

Until then it is hard at work my man !!!

Good post..

Geez, it seems like everybody starts for Football. I Started because of baseball when i was 15. Not because I wanted to start, as i already did, but rather i was so friggin pissed at everything and anybody that it was the only thing that would calm me down. Over that summer, came back and my nickname changed from "RJ" to "pipes". Since then i was hooked. I like the respect that i get but mostly i do it for myself. no other reason. I work in Security and plan on being in Law enforcement so it will only help.
Now the stats:

[Darko]

I am 21, 6'4 and 230lbs. Bodyfat I am guessing at but maybe around 12%.

I got into weights when I was 15, but it was more for basketball, I started trying more bodybuilding routines and eating a lot better when I turned 19 and stopped playing basketball. When I stopped playing I was about 185-190lbs with less bodyfat. When I started weights when I was 15 I was the same height and around 150lbs. Yes I was a stick.

Here I go!

I'm another short brotha.

26 years old
5'5
162 lbs.
7-8% BF
Hailing out of Southern California, Orange County Area.

I started playing football my Freshman year in HS. But then I switched to Wrestling/Track. I wrestled @ 112 lbs. all the way to my senior year. I cut down to 103 my sr. year but couldn't for league finals after my mom saw me faint. ;x I did light-moderate weight lifting in high school. I benched 215 as a 17 year old in HS when I was weighing 116 lbs (natural before cutting weight). I should've kept at it from there. heh.

I occassionally go back to my high school and help coach/train the team, but I haven't had the time to the last year. I used to go back every season. Now I do jiu-jitsu/kickboxing when I have the chance. I plan to enter some jiu-jitsu tourneys once I have time, but currently I'm working 50-60 hours a week. Hit the gym religiously 4 - 5 days a week. Have some friends fight NHB, thought about it, but I don't think I'm ready for that level.

Just got back into lifting hard a few months ago. Love it & live it.

[Strut99GT]

Great stories...and damn, you guys are massive.

I'm 22, 6', 175, about 12% bf, I'm guessing. I have been 'casually' working out for 4 years or so, but only recently discovered that I have been working out like a moron (i.e. nutritionally worthless) and have been going at it hard for the last year or so. One of my problems is that I'm a big tennis player, and I haven't been able to make the step of finding the perfect balance, because I do want to gain another 20 lbs of muscle, but I refuse to give up tennis. Hopefully I'm on my way, though.

I was dead intent on hitting at least 215 this winter, since I have a easy semester of classes and intaking 6000 calories DAILY. No chemicals however. Obviously gained virtually no weight, but strength has certainly gone up, most likely due to beginning Westside training six months ago. Special thanks to all those on the Powerlifting board for all the invaluable information they have posted. I may not have gained the weight I had set a goal for, but at least I am making progress in my training. Anyone who hasn't been over to the Powerlifting board, get your asses over there and integrate some of their superior training techniques to your training programs.
Too bad my body doesn't like putting on weight without assistance, I just don"t think I have the genetics for carrying a large amount of weight. I have been on a total of three cycles, and will be experimenting cycling on a 2 week on/4 week off basis based upon some theories I have read regarding this, using short acting esters. I am looking foward to seeing the results from this first hand.

6', 220 pounds, 6% BF. HA! Well, in 4 months that's the goal, until then, my stats are a secret.

bodyfat- not sure (the scale bodyfat thingy in my bathroom says 25%,
but I disagree. My calipers get here tomorrow)

I started lifting regularly in the spring of 2000. When I started I was
about 285 pounds @ roughly 40% bodyfat. I worked my way down to about 212 pounds. Which made me skinny fat. In the fall of 2001 I got
serious about training, nutrition, and supplementation. Since have worked my way up to about 239. I estimate my current bodyfat to be
about 18%. My goal is to be about 240 and less than 12% bodyfat. I'll
keep everyone posted with progress. Way to go everybody. Mark

After I Recovered Fully, I Started Juicing My Freshman Year Of College, I Separated My Shoulder In A Wreck A Couple Of Months Later, Destroying Everything I Had Worked For. I Took Two Years Off And Just Started Lifting Again About A Month Ago, In About 3-4 Weeks I'm Going To Juice Again. I Want To Do It Right This Time And Thats Why I'm Here.

Been lifting on and off for the past 3 years. Been eating healthy, and lifting regularly for the past 4 months. I have noticed a nice change in muscle defination but not alot in mass. I look fairly skinny and lanky, but im suprisingly strong for my build. Started my first cycle 2 weeks ago of Sostenon 250. I was going for a 6 week cycle at 500mg/w but was advised to go no shorter than 8-10, even for my first cycle. My goal is to get up around 210 by Jan/Feb '04.

i play football and when i was 14 after freshman season, lifting became mandatory. At first i just went through the motions. i was THE smallest and THE weakest guy in there. Some of the girls on the track team were stronger than me. when i first touched the barbell, i couldnt even lift 90 pounds. My dad kept motivating me to stick with it. at the time i was about 120 pounds. Even though i really wasnt into lifting that much, i kept at it. By my in my offseason going into my junior year, my results really began to sky rocket. At that point, i became completely nuts and obsessed. i have become really knowledgable and love lifting very much now.
