49 lbs down and 6 inches off my waist! Not pre-contest... yet...

[Army of One]

I really dont get it.You could have come here and just not said anything about being natural or enhanced, and maybe gave a winky smile when someone asked if you were natural.I get it if you dont want impact on your professional life.But you make it a point to say you are natural and outright lie for no reason other than to make yourself and your friends seem like you are natural genetic elites.Its the same reason we hate all the fake natties like ohearn, pat banya etc.You are no different.

Haha.... "Drug" Miller 

So simple yet so beautiful.

It seems obvious now. Why I never thought of this?

[oldtimer1]

I miss the days when I could eat whatever the fuck I wanted and didn't gain any weight. Now I'm turning 37 this September and if I just look at a cheesecake my love handles expand like baking bread!  The struggle is real. 

I was good eating what ever I wanted till I hit 50.  Now I'm in my 60's and if I have a couple of beers on the weekend (ok, I lied. A lot of beer) I can see it on Monday.

Not quite.... It actually took A LOT of effort to get that fat in my early 20s ...  I thought I was "bulking up" in a good way putting down 4,000 to 5,000 calories and trying to emulate Lee Priest, but I was still able to diet down 50 to 70 lbs whenever I competed.... As I got older i just stayed that way and then it really got harder to diet down.

So I think it came time for a lifestyle change.

[The Keto Kid]

My routine is as follows...

I get up everyday at 430 am and go work out, I do so on an empty stomach (I know blasphemy) and drink NO Xplode during my work out.

Meal 1 (Post Work out) (280 calories)
2 scoops protein shake
5 g creatine

Meal 2 10:30 am (260 calories)
1 RTD protein shake
2 caramel rice cakes

Meal 3 12:30 pm (475 calories)
4 oz chicken breast
3 Cheddar rice cakes
3 caramel rice cakes
I also mix benefiber with my diet soda

Meal 4 4:30 pm (280 calories)
2 scoops protein shake

Meal 5 7:00 pm (730 calories)
3.5 oz chicken breast
Veggie made pasta (made from zucchini) with marinara sauce
Broccoli
Halo top ice cream

This is my typical diet during the week... just easier to manage on work days and in the office and stuff.  On weekends the die can be quite different but within the same caloric constraints.  I'm pretty deligent about weighing my food - even the ice cream lol

Three!

Thanks for the love guys! Very kind of you!

Its true you did - lol and its about time I turned it around

Terrible diet, majority of you macros coming from rice cakes(void of nutrients) and protein powder(other than calcium void of nutrients).

[stuntmovie]

KETO, What would you suggest he do?

[ratherbebig]

where's the burgers and fries?

thats a very unamerican diet!

if trump finds out about it, you're going back across the boarder big achmed !

[The Keto Kid]

KETO, What would you suggest he do?

Add is real nutrient dense foods. Whole eggs, beef, salmon for protein sources. If you choose to eat carbs sweet potatoes,  yams, some fruits and berries, some green vegetables. Throw in some healthy fats from avocados,  handful of nuts/seeds a day. Nothing processed. Horrendous diet 80% of it coming from processed shit.

I really was a fat fucking cow and a half lol... But I can honestly say in most of my 20's I  really was not as fat as I am in those pictures all the time.... even when I wasn't competing.... I wasn't super lean or anything but that picture specifically was really at the Pinnacle of my fatness...(my 30's were a different story... I was fat a lot in my 30's :-D)....it really took me a lot of work to turn myself into a fucking cow.  
The thing is, growing up, I was not one of those kids who was all chunky and had to battle weight as the fat kid on the playground, on the contrary I was skin and bones.... But I got myself this fat because I thought that was the only way I could put on muscle effectively and get stronger... I didn't believe in a clean bulk... And when I started to believe in it I started to make excuses and was just too lazy and not disciplined to change.  I guess I was in denial about it.  Anyways. I don't regret getting so fat... But I wonder all the time how things would've been now, if I had just stayed at my current weight and bf through out the years instead of yo-yoing so much.

Amazing man! You look great for 37 or any age. Still live in florida? How are your workouts like?

Thanksb so much...I'm in Florida now yes... I had moved out to California for a couple of years but found my way back East as my company has a major site out here as well.

With respect to my work outs, I train for about 1 and a half hours first thing in the morning. 5 days a week.
I start off with 30 minutes HIIT cardio on the elliptical then an hour or somedays an hour and 15 mins with the weights.
I don't do as much free weights as I used to, definitely spend much more time on machines, this is primarily to avoid injury.  I do two to three exercises per muscle group with about 6-8 sets each and a combination of light and heavy (for me) sets.

My split is typically like this:

Sunday - Legs:
Leg press
Leg Extensions or outer thigh machine
Stiff legged deadlift on the Smith machine

Monday - Off
My first meeting every Monday is at 6 am, this is typically one of my busiest days of the week so I just take it off completely from the gym

Tuesday - Chest
Machine bench press
Pec Dec
Hammer strength incline press

Wednesday - Back
Wide grip lat pull downs
Seated rows... I change it up every few week, sometimes close grip sometimes wide
Straight arm pill downs or shrugs

Thursday - Shoulders
Machine shoulder press
Seated lateral raises machine
Hammer Strength shoulder presses

Friday - Arms
Seated alternating curls cable machine
Preacher curls machine
(Somedays I will do a few dumbbell curls too)
Tricep extensions/push downs
Overhead tricep machine (when I'm not injured, which I currently am)

Saturday - Cardio only.
I'll do my normal HIIT on the elliptical and if I'm up for it somedays I'll also add in another 30 mins fast walk on the treadmill at a very e steep incline.
