I'm not sure I understand all the emotion that people have about me taking a few pics, but here they are. Enjoy?
(http://www.musclewebsites.com/240.jpg)
31 years old. 5' 10", 180 pounds. Interests include long stroller walks and eating grilled cheese sandwiches. Don't claim to be a bodybuilder, just a guy who tries to stay healthy. I hope these pics have made a few lives more complete, as the requests for them have been plentiful.

Do your ribs naturally stick out like that or are you sucking in a gut?
-
Looking good, Rob. Not too many 30-something dads in better shape than that.
Mad props for putting it out there. All the 240-bashers who didn't enter can eat crow now.
-
...Jesus Christ.
In two years you haven't made even a inch of progress. You are like all the other idiots in
the gym who do the same shit day in day out and blab about how they "used" to be really
strong but work or family life has kept them from lifting heavy. Pathetic.

Actually, that is quite the compliment. I've staved off the aging process for two years :D
My goal isn't to put on a ton of muscle. My goal is to live to 90. My goal is to spend a ton of time with the family. My goal is to build a successful business. My goal is to pay off the house and retire at 45 and spend the day at the pool each day.
What are you goals, and can you please post the progress pics for your last two years of lifting? Thanks bro!

thanks man!!

I think Rob has come a LONG way. He realized that it is impossible to be huge and natural and now has a reasonable outlook on what is possible as a natural. I say good on him.
-
Rob you poor bastard... ;D

Rob,
Just drop about 30 lbs and you will look quite impressive.

Im serious though. I think he will resemble Christian Bale in American Pyscho. He has the same shape to his physique. Same arms/waist.

You've made good progress since the last pics :)
-
Hey, Rob! You look lean and fit and looks like none of that old weight of your past haunts you these days! You have gotten in shape and stayed in shape, despite your busy lifestyle, and I think that's great.
-
You actually have quite good natural shape mate, props for posting 8).

What's the point of doing all of that if you're not huge at the same time??

My goal isn't to put on a "ton" of muscle either. I certainly don't share the goal of living to 90.
This might surprise you but you're not the only person who'd like to make a good living, have
a family and retire at an early age. You act as if 2-3 hours spent a week training effectively
is just too much time to devote when you are so busy. Besides, if you're really not into bodybuilding
or weightlifting why are you here? Isn't there much more important things to be doing with your time?
Obviously hanging out on getbig isn't going to help you become the successful business man that you see
yourself to be.
-
BTW, why the fuck are you hiding your dumb face? Didn't you show that stupid mug of yours a million times
brandishing your "gat"? Claiming how down you were to bust a cap and that you were listening to NWA in
86 even though they hadn't released any material at that time? You're a fucking clown.

As Rob builds websites for bodybuilders I'm sure he will tell you that posting on here actually does bring him extra business, his sites are top notch, but he is not going to get business by sitting on his ass, he has to get his name out there somehow, getbig and other forums are a great avenue to bring that business in.

Looking healthy and lean mate. Good on ya for putting up your pics, and brilliant work with the MGB website. 8)

This.

You look pretty good 240. A lot leaner than the last pics we saw of you. You should have competed officially, maybe you would have made some money. But I do understand why you would not want the headache and the bitching that would come with it.

Hi Cheap Stomach,
I'm glad you asked. I get asked all the time about my squatting numbers and I'm always happy to help a young fan.
One fateful summer, I got that free rack, a Sports Authority set, and started. I squatted 2 times a week for one heavy set of 20 reps. Now and then I'd add deads or benching, but most of the time, it was just squats. I pigged out at the same time- I had just quit teaching and had nothing to do but lift, eat, and play PS2.
By the end of the summer I had gained 30 pounds (most was muscle- i finally filled out) and I was regularly doing 300 pounds to parallel for 20-rep squats, just like the internet article I had read had described. (We've all read that one- and it works!) It was at this time I joined a gym and started to break weights over 300.
315... 335... 355... the weights went up as my reps begain to dip below 20. I always had a spotter or two, and usually finished without assistance. Soon I was using 405, with 2 spotters, every other weekend on Sunday, with knee wraps. I got up to 8 or so very sickening reps that first time, and nearly sharted. Rough day. But I continued on. It got easier as I hit the early 420 and 430s.
Hurricane Charley came shortly thereafter and destroyed my beloved SOS Gym in Pt Charlotte, FL. So, I joined a new gym in the fall. By this time, I was working a ton and attending FT classes. I started doing cardio- for the first time in 2 years- and couldn't run 1/8 mile without stopping. Shinsplints followed. But after a while, the cardio came easier for me.
Today I usually squat without a spotter and typically don't go over 315 for 10 slow safe reps. I don't use wraps, and I don't weigh 220 anymore. I'm at 191 today. My knees ache most days from the cardio, so I am careful about risking heavy leg work while dieting.
Cheap Stomach, I thank you for your letter. Best wishes in all your endeavors. Also, I feel my placing at the Ironman this year was due to the fact that I am too involved in politics and that I defended my wife's Olympia placing. Peace.

240 or Bust,
Looking at your leg development, and knowing how hard a beast like Jesse Marunde had to work to get 20 reps with 405, I have to ask:
How much of the 405 squat for 20 reps claim is true?
-
i wonder what his leggs looked like before squating heavy.

Why have you covered up your face, Rob. We all know what you look like??? ???
-

yeah, I had poor range of motion back then. I see that now.
Also I was 40 pounds bigger (up to 222 at my heaviest), and used knee wraps and back braces and spotters.
Today, I dunno. It's all about being healthy. This morning I got up and had a banana on the floor with the rugrat watching sesame street. We went for a 2 mil walk, then had some waffles. Watching the Backyardigans now having our morning juice. I know that 8 egg whites, a cup of oats, and 4 cups of crystal lite would be a better breakfast, and maybe there will be a time in the future when I do that. I know that putting 10-15 pounds on will bring my arms back a bit, fill out the back, etc... but at the moment, it's not an important goal. I have perfect bloodwork, great blood pressure, zero injuries. Hitting 200 and adding muscle might be a goal soon. Just not yet.

You play in a band. You are like 50 pounds heavier than most musicians already. I can't believe how little the guys are in the local bands around here, it makes sense for the stars, they can afford to do coke all, but these dudes have day jobs and still weigh about a buck 25. Are the guys in your band little fellas too or is that a Michigan thing?

Yeah, there isn't a single jacked musician in my town that I know of. Most are skinny with the gut. Musicians are, IMO, lazy by definition. At 180 I am certainly one of the biggest and leanest. Plus I can jump up and down nonstop for 4 hours without breaking a sweat.

why would you jump up and down nonstop for 4 hours?
are you a cheerleader?

Rob,
Just drop about 30 lbs and you will look quite impressive.
He could fit right in with your other follower.
-
If you could squat 135 for 10 with those legs, I think it would be a monumental achievement!

Find a gym
Walk inside
Join the gym
Lift weights
^These are things you need to do.

What are you goals, and can you please post the progress pics for your last two years of lifting? Thanks bro!
good goals to have man, you look good, looks like you grew your hair out.

that would be a good way for you to get even fatter.
haven't you been paying any attention here at all? You do not have a chance in hell of being 200lbs unless you want to be very soft and chubby. You have at least 30 lbs of fat to lose. It would be very ambitious for you to try to gain 10 lbs of muscle, so we are talking about you being 20 lbs lighter in shape, not 20 lbs heavier.

everyone assumes that gaining weight means gaining muscle..if Rob gains 30lbs probably 10lbs would be muscle the rest would be water and mostly fat.
he would gain size and strength...but people smaller than him with less fat would appear to be bigger. He would be better off to lean out and gradually add weight
-
You've trimmed up nicely - good work, bro.
Monster chicken legs, though. ;)

kevin levrone is a big musician?
i though 240 was a bigshot MBA

people at 90 seem to be babies all over again

my lord what a beast!
-

His group has a really nice sound.
Before I heard them a few years ago, I figured that all the bodybuilding fans hyped him up just because he's cool and he's a pro, but their music was surprisingly good.
-
damn!!!!!!!!!
-
Goddamn Rob, you look like you've never touched a weight :-[
-
Furthermore, you should just come clean and admit that you made up those squat claims....hell, you couldn't do 1/4 reps of 300 with those Col Sanders delights you call legs
-
Nice pics 240 - props dude.

BTW this wasn't meant as a flame at all. I don't think that 200lbs is a reasonable goal for any average height natural BBer.
You are setting yourself up for disapointment by shooting for NPC compettitor size as a natural.
-
Thanks. LOL @ chicken legs. We had a death in the family, I had the flu, launched some major projects including the mr getbig, been playing lots of shows... I honestly haven't touched a weight in ten days, nor dieted at all. Not making excuses. The pics are mine. But hopefully I can post some in a few weeks and I'll look a little better.

This is true... ive come to realize that there is a trade off. If you gain muscle you are going to shrink your life span. Anything that is productive in the creation of muscle is counter productive in logetivity. I unfortunantly am stuck in a meat head mind set of trying to gain as much muscle as possible.
-
Wow, 240.....you actually look better than you did here:
in all fairness rob did say that he took that pic years ago and was only fooling around....nothing ever dies on the web :-[

I don't think so..JJ look like he works but just didn't diet..240 looks like a regular guy that plays "squash" a couple times per week

Nahh he looks better now. He should continue to drop to about 160.

240, seriously...your legs look very unstable. How are you even able to walk on those things?
You might wanna go back to the 'smashed asshole' look.

shameful state for a bber but why the hell should I care
good work

igotta say they guy got a whole lot learner. thats a really good keep it up 240..

Don't be stupid. He looks much better now. He is lucky to have gotten out of the stage that some of use will never get out of. Bodybuilding is an obsessive mental disorder in many cases.

TLB,
Why are you still taking the bulking and cutting approach, do you really think you will gain more muscle this way? Why not just stay lean all the time. granted you may still be overly preoccupied with your looks, but at least you will be channeling the obsession in a healthy direction that will increase your longevity.
-
BOOOOOOM!!..........

Here we go ...

Rob you love this, just admit it...

don't worry man, I think you look good for someone who isn't taking it seriously
-
Rob you love this, just admit it...
;D
-
I made a wise choice in not entering.. You have a horrible back and almost no legs to speak of.
Your shape is blocky too.
-
Rob, the fact is, you could take 110 days off and still look the same. Just accept that fact and quit providing excuses :-\

*on a side note getbig seems to have gone soft, 12 months ago this guy would be ripped to shreads, you big softies :)

According to the Flex article, it looks like Rob 'peaked' at 16 and it's been downhill ever since. :'( :D

He was pretty ripped then.
But I doubt he could squat 405 lbs for 20 reps at that age.
That came later.

240 is a good dude and getbig's foremost legend.
but man those are some unfortunate genetics :-\

LOL... Life is good, the family is great, career is awesome. I have nonstop fun every day. I never get dressed for work. I play with my rugrat all day long. I play in a rock band 3 nights a week. I'm 31 and I get to live life exactly as I want to.
Whenever I do decide to enter a bodybuilding phase, I'll stay lean, create an airtight diet, and won't get so chubby as I did last time. Everytime I tried to diet or get consistent (before) it was always a negative thing. (Gotta live up to all the shit I talked). Now, it'll be a positive self-improvement thing.

and that is the real key honestly, who cares if you're built but in debt, miserable and doing a job you absolutely hate.

you got that right. Here I am at age 25.
Monster 11 inch arms? 10 inch? lol...

LOL... those "Animal" ads come to mind. Guy lives in a shithole apartment, dishes everywhere. He takes the 4:45 AM bus to the gym before walking to his construction job.

That pic cant be real. I seen crackheads with bigger arms than that.

Well played Rob!! Too many kids and old idiots that never accomplished a damn thing on this site....good to know a few of us have normal lives with normal careers, normal families and normal interests outside of bb.

not bad 240...
leaned out.. better definition..
-
Thanks guys.
And honestly - and I swear to God on this - I vomited about 5 minutes before taking those pics last night. Had the flu pretty bad but wanted to get some pics up before the deadline. So the next batch should be better.
If anyone out there is experienced in bodybuilding nutrition and wants to help me plan out a nutritional regimen, please PM or email me ciscorob5@aol.com - I'd be happy to trade services in return. I just need to come up with a simple 7 meal plan that'll work well with my bodytype. Thanks!

If you cant plan your own diet with the amount you have read about bodybuilding in your life then you you may as well give up now.

you have got to be kidding ???
you have been on this site for years and you have not figured this out yet?
dude you own a computer thats connected to the internet, what the hell else do you need?
I also dont think you have it in you to follow a plan at your age and current life situations(family , kid, job)
really its just not for you !
at age 30 you need to raise your hormone levels or not much will happen, do you really wanna spend a few hundred bucks a month on 6 oxo ect... deal with the side effects and reap no reward besides posting your pic on this site and having someone say you improved?

TLB,
Why are you still taking the bulking and cutting approach, do you really think you will gain more muscle this way? Why not just stay lean all the time. granted you may still be overly preoccupied with your looks, but at least you will be channeling the obsession in a healthy direction that will increase your longevity.
Gaining muscle in a caloric defecit is not efficient. It is possible in young males and with drug users however but it isn't very effective. Im not saying to gain 50 lbs though. An excess of calories is neccesary along with heavy weight to promote growth. Adonis has agreed with me the bodybuilding is no productive in the least. Any form of growing is going to decrease your life span. Anything that promotes muscle growth will shorten your life (examples being steroids, igf, insulin, increaded metabolism// protien synthesis, etc..). Anyway that isn't the point. The point im making is that it is good to see Rob has dropped from the whole bodybuilding cult and is intrested in staying lean. When people ask my for lifting advice now i try not to get their hopes up. Infact i tell them not get into it at all and to just excercise for fun because once you get stuck in this world and obsession it is pretty hard to come out of it. I now see myself 20 lbs heavier and view it as fat. I can't get out of the obsession of being insanly ripped all the time. I notice adonis even fluctuates in weight from time to time. You eventually have to slip a little.

I know I wanna drink 2 whey shakes a day. I just gotta figure out those other 5 meals. It's my biggest problem. I don't understand carbs, simply put. I don't know what kind to eat when. high/low GI. I don't know how to eat at night, when I'm the hungriest.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Go out and enjoy life. Don't stay stuck in a prison.

..
man forget all that science.. foolishness....
no offense.. people over complicate...things all the .. just train
i guarantee you.. if i was training with you you would have to make improvements..
.. hard honest training....
i think you have to build a good base before you start complicating stuff..
trust me i'm living proof..
hard training... and more importantly.. loving to train to me its not.. trainin to get big.. . its loving the feeling of lifting heavy weights.. the muscles are a bonus
-
yeah, I had poor range of motion back then. I see that now.
Also I was 40 pounds bigger (up to 222 at my heaviest), and used knee wraps and back braces and spotters.
Today, I dunno. It's all about being healthy. This morning I got up and had a banana on the floor with the rugrat watching sesame street. We went for a 2 mil walk, then had some waffles. Watching the Backyardigans now having our morning juice. I know that 8 egg whites, a cup of oats, and 4 cups of crystal lite would be a better breakfast, and maybe there will be a time in the future when I do that. I know that putting 10-15 pounds on will bring my arms back a bit, fill out the back, etc... but at the moment, it's not an important goal. I have perfect bloodwork, great blood pressure, zero injuries. Hitting 200 and adding muscle might be a goal soon. Just not yet.
nothing wrong with that, we all have our own goals :)....
to be honest tho;having a good physique doesnt require that much time per week, it just requires consistency..3 days a week at the gym (approx total training time 3x1 hours) will take you very far
and if you dont have time( or energy) to cook good healthy meals you can always drink some of the calories. Get some protein powder and mix with oatmeal and water in a blender, have that shake 2 times per day in addition to your regular food.

You don't have to try to gain in a deficit. You could stay at maintenance or just a little bit above. I find it hard to believe that you would have to eat that much extra to put on a pound or 2 of muscle a year, which I think is the most you can really gain as a natural that has been training for a while.
-
your still trolling for advice huh rob... :-\
shit more people than god have given advice to you-----------if you havent gotten it by now (being in the BBing scene for the last 3yrs) then either your A) retarded or B) just lazy and still looking for an excuse--------------its not complicated
you had a shitty physique even when you were single and had time---now your excuse is you have a family ::)
you are the ultimate internet troll
always have been always will be :-\
you talked shit about hte people who competed last year saying you could have beat a few of them----but when it s time to compete you back out yet again even though you promised to over and over again
-
I doudt 240 or bust could squat an empty bar with those birdlegs let alone 405 for 20 reps, thats just an outright lie plain and simple where the fuck is squadfather to call bullshit on that since he claims to be an authority on bullshit claims.
I ve seen more meat on a chicken Mcnugget.

Hahahah adonis and i just recently found that Eugene Sandow used to eat 4400 calories a day. True fact. I eat right now because i enjoy it. I don't even add. I don't lose wait unless i count calories.

I doubt that he had access to the nutrional guide and calories per food item during those times I doubt if he counted calories..
how many calories were in a standard bowl of stew back then? without knowing the contents you would have to "guestimate", plus factor in that many of the ingredients weren't "light"

Very accurate article here http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9A03E7DE123CE433A25755C0A9609C94669ED7CF&oref=slogin

I never said 400 x 20.
I went over 400 for partial reps. Period. I was 40 pounds bigger at the time.
Nordic, you have a serious hard-on for me. What's up with that? I posted pics, even though I looked skinny and sick. Get on with your own life.

Eating because you enjoy it is great, I'm just calling into question the necessity of gorging to gain muscle. I think you need more hobbies, you are making BBing harder than it needs to be.
I'd be interested in seeing the source...also note that he probably trained a lot each day, so even if he did eat this much it might not have been that much over maintenance for him.

31 years old. 5' 10", 180 pounds. Interests include long stroller walks and eating grilled cheese sandwiches. Don't claim to be a bodybuilder, just a guy who tries to stay healthy. I hope these pics have made a few lives more complete, as the requests for them have been plentiful.
Hmmm.... you and JaeJonna would have been close. It could have gone either way. You definitely would have won the "gayest tattoo" award.
Why cover your face? Your pics have been posted all over the place before.

you got leaner, sure. but there are shitty toys all over the room. clean it up.
-
Rob.
Eat 1800 calories, anything you want. Then when you get very lean, increase your calories. Set your limit at 5 lbs over your leanest. When you find yourself at that limit or near it, go back to eating 1800 calories. Repeat. Its really too easy. Eat whatever you want.
How much more difficult can you make it?

You summed up how to stay lean in 5 sentences. I'd give that an A+.
If only people could find what motivates them, they could all so easily abolish fat.

lookin good man!

JESUS, YOU GUYS ARE BRUTAL !! God, I LOVE GETBIG !!

240 is a good dude and getbig's foremost legend.
but man those are some unfortunate genetics :-\
People need to stop blamming genetics. Genetics play a important role provided that you are eating correctly and working out hard. Come on...this guys does not include protein in his breakfast? Bad genetics?...I don't think we can tell at this point.
I'm sure you don't have the genetics of Jay or Ronnie, but you are nowhere close to reaching your genetic limit.

I just caught this thread. 240 has his priorites straight and looks good. Props!
