lmao. That is classic Assert N. I wasn't expecting him to fall.
I think most of you guys are right. When it all comes down to it, just get up off the couch, do some cardio, and eat a balanced meal and fill the gaps with snacks that actually grow on a plant or tree instead of littering store shelves.
Bumpity Bump.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through my fitness goals and I'm feeling pretty powerful. On Friday I deadlifted 300 lbs for the first time. My bench press and squat numbers aren't as high as I'd like, but I'm still working on them. Both are at 195 pounds for 5 reps.
Here's a good picture of myself that I found from the beginning of 2008, which is just before I started getting serious about exercising. I was 145 pounds and about 14% body fat:
Here's what I looked like on Friday, sans shirt. I weigh 187 pounds and I'd guess my body fat percentage is around 20%:
I suck at positioning cameras
Within the past year I've paid a lot of attention to my diet and made some major changes. This time last year I was about the same weight, but eating like crap (lots of mass gainers, bread, and pasta). I intentionally lost a lot of weight, but have since regained it. This time, however, I put a lot more importance on eating more vegetables and less starchy carbs. It has helped, because while I weigh more, I still feel relatively lean.
On most days I eat a big serving of vegetables for 3 of my meals. I'd like to be able to get that up to 4. I'd also like to find a way to eat more whole food sources of protein, because while whey is good, I'm getting tired of it.
My remaining goals are:
1. Bulk up to a weight of 200+ pounds (exact number to be determined later)
2. Diet down off that to a lean 200 or 190 lbs, with a body fat percentage of at least 12%.
3. Implement swimming as a cardiovascular exercise during that process.
I set my body fat percentage at a realistic level, because with my genes I think that's as low as I'm gonna get without taking thousands of dollars of supplements. However, if I can get that low, I'm gonna try and make it to single digits. < 10% would be awesome.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Damn, very impressive Xan. The 40+ lb difference is huge. Keep up the great work! Do you find the added size/muscle interferes with other activities, like playing guitar?
I've been working at getting rid of my gut, but it's been hit and miss with my school/work schedule and poor eating habits. The rest of my fitness goals and body shaping are going great.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Actually, in Korean, DDR is a acronym for their word for masturbate. Not that good of a workout, really. I think running is a good idea. Also biking intensely (which I used to do before my bike was stolen) twice a week can help with fitness.
Hmm...you must not have played on a very high level then...

Dude there's no way you can't swim lol all you have to do is flap your legs and arms on the water . Or is it some kind of trauma?
