Thanks dude (For the laugh) and for the props!


I fucking hate dieting...  and I will eventually compete again (Probably after the PhD), so I'll diet whenever that is...  But the main reason I HATE dieting in the off-season, is I hate feeling like I'm not progressing in the gym (or at least not progressing as fast), so as a result I stay with this blubber!

Right now I weigh about 230-235 and eating almost 4000 calories, 340 g protein, 465 g carbs, 85 g fat

Of course I don't feel fit.  And of course 4K cals is probably a bit too much lol...  I'm not delusional, I know when I'm in shape and when I'm not.

This isn't even my heaviest, I've been as high as 265 (that was REALLY bad)...

I've been on both ends of the spectrum so I have a better sense of self awareness, don't really want to get any fatter than this right now... but I don't really give a fuck to diet down at the moment either!

Probably not. He knows himself he has 50lbs to lose, very close to what I had in mind. He's gonna lose 1 inch per 15lbs lost on average, put him down at least 3 inches from where he is now. Some muscle will be lost as the hill is a steep and very inclined one to climb and you're looking at another inch lost.

16 inches is what we're looking at when lean. 16.5 tops.

You must really be an endomorph to get that heavy on so few cals, I mean you're close to 6 feet you said, I think. If you're not doing post workout cardio now, I would seriously start.

Side note you're still leaner than my friend from a gym who still thinks he should bulk up, because "he's too small". He tried dieting, I told him what to do. He changed diet I wrote him after 2 days and after 1 week it was over.

As age and the stresses of life catch up to him, the chances of ever getting that lean again get smaller and smaller.  Isn't he in a PHD study.  I can't imagine trying to diet down, no carbs and such then trying to stay up and study.  He could always take tren to not sleep but his mind would be elswhere when he is trying to read.

Or... do something more sane, which allows you to funtion, yet still look good... You can get lean while eating carbs, ever since Palumbo, everyone is affraid of carbs...

Eaten before, after, the meal after your training and the rest of the meals being protein and fats can really clean up a body nicely.

My suggestion to him. No excuse to be that sloppy. But kudos to him for persuing an education! Fuck competing, nothing to gain from that, get down to 10% stay there, look and feel good. From there you can do mini bulk and diet cycles.

Rinse repeat, you will look better every time you reach the same weight you were before, when this happens, THEN go for more mass.

Ach`s a great guy........known him a long time,that being said,you should always strive to stay in decent condition unless you are a beginner or an extreme ectomorph.

Who in hell wants to diet off 50-75 pounds?

Ach knows his body though and has always bounced back and got ripped.

At my age,I couldn`t afford to get this fat,nor would I want to just to be able to bench more...........fuck benches,I`m trying to build pecs!!
Title: Re: Some shots from tonight! Full off-season mode!
Post by: BIG ACH on May 09, 2012, 11:42:30 AM
Everyone has some good perspectives, and good points of view.  Thanks for sharing them!


But I want to say, for starters I have no interest in walking around at 10% bf...  I'm around 20-23% right now.  
I guess 15% would be more ideal really!  But I would probably feel pretty small at 10% I'm never going to be a massive guy at 10%... Just the card that I was handed!  And I hate feeling small!  I like where I stand right now... sure I'm not gonna be on any magazine covers or anything, but I feel pretty strong in the gym right now and pretty big out in the streets when I go out with friends!  Plus my wife is happy with what she's got... and that translates over to my happiness ;)

I doubt my arms could ever be over 17 inches when I diet down, and again, I really don't care, whenever I get on stage its all about the way it looks, no one gets up there and whips out a tape measure lol

But I dunno when I will be on stage again - I would like to at some point, but there are other more important things in life that I want to focus on right now (like finishing my PhD in Industrial Engineering, one day starting a family, focusing more on my career, etc.)  Competing in bodybuilding is still there in my mind, but you can say its all the way in the back!


I also want to just comment on this quote here by Ritch


You must really be an endomorph to get that heavy on so few cals, I mean you're close to 6 feet you said, I think. If you're not doing post workout cardio now, I would seriously start.

Since when is 4,000 calories such "few cals"?  lol

Oh and I do cardio 4 times a week, 20 minutes before a work out, its not much but its better than nothing, I'd like to push it to 30 minutes, but then it just eats up more time away from lifting, and I don't want to be in the gym all day long!  My work outs are normally 2 - 2.5 hours!

Post by: wes on May 09, 2012, 11:47:02 AM
Good for you Ach................as long as you`re happy,that`s all that matters, and it`s not like you don`t know how to get ripped.


Some so called 'bodybuilders' stay like that for their entire training career thinking that they are 10% and huge!!  ;)

Well yeah... when you're 120 years old its hard to diet down 50-75 lbs LOL

 ;D

Thanks for the kind words Wes... we've known each other for a while since the Muscle Mayhem board days when you added me to the DOGG POUND, and you've always been a great support to me... believe it or not, I have read a lot of the things you've written over the years and have learned from them!

I do think though, that we do have different perspectives and opinions on a lot of things.  Maybe one day I will see things your way.  We'll see how it goes the next time I decide to torture myself and diet down again!


238lbs here :D

LOL....ACH, you have to remember that I'm 5'6 and that was waaay too heavy for me. I'm between 212-215lbs and fairly soft now and was 195 when I competed last. I HATE dieting or I would be 200 or less right now. Try to stay with in 15lbs of your comp weight.

Coach, I compete around 175 - 180 and people told me I look my best at 200 - 215 lbs  in the off-season.

I still just don't feel comfortable at that weight, I just end up feeling small!

Plus, I'm 6 feet so I'm way way waaay smaller than you in general!

You're a fucking tank though!  Kudos for all that hard work!


^^^ the way I recommended you to eat, would have you looking like that. The dude has more muscle than you currently, but you could be a smaller version of just that.

Ritch... I'm confused what you are trying to say?  A few posts up you said I'm taking in too few calories, when I'm at about 4000?

Where are you going with all of this?

Well yeah... when you're 120 years old its hard to diet down 50-75 lbs LOL ;D
That wasn`t very nice!!  :D

Thanks for the kind words Wes... we've known each other for a while since the Muscle Mayhem board days when you added me to the DOGG POUND, and you've always been a great support to me... believe it or not, I have read a lot of the things you've written over the years and have learned from them!
Yup,we go way back my friend,thanks for the compliment bro.

I do think though, that we do have different perspectives and opinions on a lot of things.  Maybe one day I will see things your way.  We'll see how it goes the next time I decide to torture myself and diet down again!
I`m not dieting presently either,when we both do,we should do it together............I`d like to know that you were suffering as much as me!!  ;)

My wife took the pic. It might cause a little tension at the dinner table if I kicked her in the ass. LOL.

Coach, I compete around 175 - 180 and people told me I look my best at 200 - 215 lbs  in the off-season.

I still just don't feel comfortable at that weight, I just end up feeling small!

Plus, I'm 6 feet so I'm way way waaay smaller than you in general!

You're a fucking tank though!  Kudos for all that hard work!


Ritch... I'm confused what you are trying to say?  A few posts up you said I'm taking in too few calories, when I'm at about 4000?


Where are you going with all of this?

I meant I find it weird you get so heavy with so few, meaning you an endo, meaning your body does not like carbs. Some fools say it does not matter when you eat them. It does! Eat them pre post and the meal after the post workout, and rest of the day protein and fats.

watch your body change!

if ur competing or maybe every few yr i could see 20/40 lbs if you could pull it off and still fairly lean  ,if not train,eat good,live a little,have some conditioning to at least show for your hard work.

Bro thats good advise, but BIG ACH has been there and done that, he has been shredded and can get shredded anytime he wants, he said he likes to be heavy so why does he need to watch calories and do cardio, now when he is ready to strike he will get shredded just like before no problem, right BIG ACH

You look great bro. No fawking homo. Your face handles the fat well, and if you diet properly, I bet you will hold on to an excellent amount of muscle.

Thanks dude (For the laugh) and for the props!


I fucking hate dieting...  and I will eventually compete again (Probably after the PhD), so I'll diet whenever that is...  But the main reason I HATE dieting in the off-season, is I hate feeling like I'm not progressing in the gym (or at least not progressing as fast), so as a result I stay with this blubber!

Right now I weigh about 230-235 and eating almost 4000 calories, 340 g protein, 465 g carbs, 85 g fat
For being 6' and weighing 235 honestly you look like a mess. At least focus on some compound movements and get a "strong" appearance.  Right now you just look fat. :-\

Ach, you're living the dream but why wouldn't you want to try to look more like this than what you currently look like? Even another 10-20 pounds on your physique here would still leave you looking decent compared to now.

I am the same way and when I get heavy everyone is giving me advise, ha lololol,... giving me advise? ...I have had striated glutes before and people tell me do this, do that, watch what you eat, funny these are the guys that have never seen their abs.
