Reasonably big and decent proportions but you need to lose about 30lbs of fat. Then you'll have a realistic idea of what you need to improve on. Your pics remind me of me about seven years ago when I was strong as fcuk but very overweight. I'd imagine you're quite strong at that weight but I would concentrate on geting leaner and trying to retain as much strength as you can.

Yeah, fat...never said I wasn't. But am working on it - slowly since I don't want to loose too much muscle (ala Arvilla - that transformation scared me, he lost it all imo).


Arvilla didn't lose muscle, and you dieting "slowly" is just gonna hold you back.

Sarcasm and TA called me out yesterday, so I followed through on what I said I'd do -- post my pic.

I also figure it's a good time because soon I'm hoping to start my first ever "real" cycle. This is the "before" picture. So far everything I've done has been pop a pill here, inject a bit there, etc. No combinations, nothing long-term, no higher dosages. So as long as I get my "loot", I'll be starting it Oct 1...takes a while to get everything from all over the place.

Reckless juicing at that?  Just pop a pill, inject this, Inject that.

You are rediculous and delusional.

You have no plan and are just floating around with reckless abandonment.  You are typical of most "hardcore" people in the gym...You think you are big shit in a shirt when in fact you are just big shit.

You juice when it is available or whatever schmuck has whatever on hand.

I can tell you don`t do anything seriously.  You are the joke I will never become.

Anybody who knows anything about bodybuilding can tell you have plenty of muscle and that you need to lose probably about 50-60lbs to look good, but not quite contest good. I know what you're talking about re: your rare and sporadic use of gear. Like most say, you should get closer to 10-12% BF before doing your first cycle. From the pic, I'd say you are closer to 26-28%BF. So losing 15% of 300 =45lbs before juicing would be a good idea. But I have no doubt you'll great after losing the weight and hitting the juice button.

Arvilla, can u post a recent pic so we can see if you remained lean, got fat again, or are somewhere in between?

I agree. Loosing about 45lbs is reasonable and do-able. A good goal.

That is about the half way mark.  Then you have about 50 more to go.

I'm wondering if I should try EAC. I hate it cuz it makes me feel all sick...albuterol is ok but only works like 2 weeks so I hear. And I can't use T3 nor Clen -- too many sides for me.

...maybe I'll have to stick to good old fashon cardio and food...been on that for about 3 months and did loose 3%, so it's working...just slowly -- slower than w/ drugs course

You should eat 200-250 grams of protein and 150 grams of carbs everyday.
It is going to take you months and months but will be worth it.

I can see you are already setting yourself up for failure by first mentioning what drugs you want to take.

K...no drugs. And, yup...like I said, been doing it w/ just cardio and food the past 3 months anyhow.

I did, however, try those drugs over the years (which is how I know how they make me feel). Just never kept on them for any extended periods of time...except EAC, but only pre-workout for energy.

Maybe I'll up the cardio -- 30 min instead of 20. Cardio is boring as hell.

"upping the cardio" = 30 mins instead of 20?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

come on G ..TIME to get SERIOUS
"up it" to 45 mins twice a day
4 times a week

Don`t waste your time right now with cardio...If you diet right you will not even have to do it.

Plus, if you do too much cardio now you will jsut burn out and get discouraged...You should be able to lose a good 50-60 lbs on diet alone.

Cardio is NOT going to make this process any faster.  Eat less.

You cannot rush fat loss.

A simple calorie reduction will induce major fat loss. Adding cardio on top of reduced caloric intake will not produce any greater result.  It will result in time wasted and motivation drained because he looks like the type that does not like Cardio.

I love Cardio but realize that I never have to do it.  Nobody does really if you get the diet down.
Title: Re: Garraeth
Post by: The True Adonis on August 30, 2006, 12:32:48 PM
With that said,

Adding Cardio will also not cause muscle loss, as long as he is weight training in the same manner.

It just will not be beneficial at this point at all because he has a lot of fat to purge.  Cardio will just be a waste of time and will not produce a faster result.

Maybe I'll up the cardio -- 30 min instead of 20. Cardio is boring as hell.

If I were you, I'd look into different short HIIT (High intensity interval training) types of cardio.

Here's a suggested routine which you could do on its own in the mornings or on resting days (no need for an empty stomach really):

Use a bike or a recumbent bike, low resistance (approx a "2" out of "10").

Do ten intervals like this:

40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
40 secs all out, 20 secs rest
Finished.

This will jack up your metabolism, it won't burn fat DURING the cardio (you know all this shit, I'm sure, sorry for stating the obvious), and your recovery and general wellness will improve.

I suggest doing this twice a week, preferably on days off, and regular low impact cardio, 15-45 minutes three times a week.

Just some ideas on how to keep on track.

Also, I know that there is some Dave Tate has written some articles on how to do cardio training Westside style, they're available on  T-mag.com I believe. It includes pulling a sleigh and a bit of Strongman style training from what I understand.

Garraeth,
I think you are making a mistake by not using gear while dieting.  If you are in calorie-deficit, you WILL lose muscle.  Many on this board don't understand that to get big, you need to get "fat," to a certain degree.  I don't know of any competitor that doesn't diet down from being fat, which is when you need drugs more than ever to retain the muscle mass and be able to still push the heavy weight.  Good luck!

Whats been working for me, is keeping the Carbs under 100g a day, and eating REALLY, REALLY strict...Chicken, Fish (Salmon or tilapia), and lean ground beef...Salmon is higher in fat, but i make sure i dont have any carbs at all with it and have it early in the day or right after a workout..

Cardio is 40 minutes, almost every night...usually 4 nights, sometimes 5-6....

Mike, I dont know how you et in two cardio sessions a day, i think you work at a gym? I did this when i comepted and it worked great..problem is people with full time jobs prob cant do this...If he gets 40 min of cardio in at least 5 days a week and keeps his diet clean he will lose that gut in about 6 months.

To fight boredom, do like 15min / 15 min / 10 min on different machines..makes it go by faster...thats what i do.

goodluck.

And remember , you can do it! ONLY IF YOU TRULY WANT IT! DISCIPLINE, thats all it is!

And lay off the gear..seriously..pointle ss.

It just never made sense to me to say that dieting didn't destroy muscle unless you were juicing. I mean, if Arvilla was truly natural while dieting (which I'm still not convinced he didn't use clen/t3/albuterol/eac/dnp or other stuff), he HAD to have lost a lot of muscle...there's just no way around it.

He didn`t lose it. Just didn`t have what you thought he did under that pile of fat.

Don`t get discouraged if that happens to you.

I think I saw somewhere that Arvilla started at 27% BF. He competed at approx 5%.

So without any muscle waste, his weight would've been 210 lbs when dieted down and ready.

There is always the possibility that Arvilla was up in the 30's with his BF, but he did have a caliper measurement done.

He has about 100 lbs to lose or so. The first 50 will be his test.

If he passes that, the next 50 may be doable.  I don`t think he has the mentality to realize that he is in fact obese and that he won`t be the size he thinks he is.

He is not yet capable of being honest with himself.

You guys are funny.

They measure bf every day, all day where I had mine measured Mike, I didn't do it myself. So saying you do it every day doesn't make my measurement more or less accurate since I didn't do it -- another person in your same situation did. In fact, two people did. Once at 28% three months ago. And again last week at 25%.

And, yeah TA, do the math...well, hell, there is it -- done for you! Wow, neeto!
If I lost 100lbs I'd be 195. I was that when I was 18 and lean as a beanpole.
Yeah... But I bet, you ran around the block without stopping by the hospital for an oxygen tank!!???..

 Bro 195..is not small!!!  Do it right..Alot of hard work and mental toughness ,you can do it! 

 Just put your mind to it...You're getting alot of good advice...use it!!!!!!

 Why do you want to be 300pds. for? You don't look like Ronnie(if that's what you're thinking????)

He doesn't look more obese than Arvilla.

Difference was that Arvilla kept flexing and posin' and shit when he was fat, Garraeth is just letting it all hang, relaxing.


I'm sure you remember the bathroom posing video Arvilla posted?

Garraeth could probably produce something similar.

Thing is, Garraeth is 20 lbs heavier than Arvilla. Realistically, he could be ripped at 210 lbs if dieting down all natural.

He would probably be 220-225 if he did it unnatural.

In any case, he would put on more quality if he cut down to at least 240, then decided on whether to get ripped or to add more mass again.

Leaning out is never wrong IMO.

Garraeth,
How many years have you been lifting and what are some of your lifts? 
How long have you been 280+lbs?

The guys who stay lean all the time never get big, so ignore their pearls of wisdom.  Your body's natural state is to avoid being very lean, and you'll need gear to avoid being in a constant negative nitrogen balance while dieting, not to mention the strain on your joints as the water weight drops first. 

I don't care if your 5'10 and 180lbs with 6%BF, in clothes, you'll look like a lollypop with veins.

Garreth, you are lost.  You will fail because you have yet to be honest yourself.  You are trying to rationalize by saying that being lean is a bad thing and that there is no point.  You do this because you have always been a disgusting blobber wobb.  You still think you have more mass than Arnold Schwarzenegger,Casey Viator,Mike Mentzer.  Where do you get off thinking this when you have never been ripped or even remotely lean?

You are lost.  You don`t know the difference between muscle and fat.  Your exsistance is built upon people calling you "big G", "Hey big guy".  In reality you can interchange "big" with the word fat.

Your lifts suck for someone of your bodyweight.  If you did indeed have Schwarzeneggers amount of muscle,(you claim you have more) you would surely be doing way more on the big 3 lifts.  I am stronger than you.

You have a skewed vision of yourself and until you change that, you lose.  You suffer from some deep insecurities.  You are the type of guy that sees the ripped guy in the gym and tell everyone that you are way bigger and that if you dieted down you would be "twice his size" and that you can at any time be lean.

You are a fat joke.

I think I saw somewhere that Arvilla started at 27% BF. He competed at approx 5%.

So without any muscle waste, his weight would've been 210 lbs when dieted down and ready.

There is always the possibility that Arvilla was up in the 30's with his BF, but he did have a caliper measurement done.

YIP
Zack

The Caliper doesn't get IAF and Mike had a lot of it.  He didn't lose muscle he just wasn't very muscular to begin with.  He made the mistake of trying to bulk and we all know that bulking doesn't work for naturals like Mike.  I would say Garreth would look good if he lost 100lbs

Yup. I haven't ever tried to pose or flex formally. Plus if you play with the lighting, angles of your limbs, props, etc. it doesn't give a realistic view of what you've got while you're walking down the street, or at the pool...or on stage w/ a 360degree view. I posted that more for myself as a marker. Less because sarcasm and TA called me out...and I like to think I'm not one of those internet bad boys who talks but doesn't deliver.
Playing w/ weights since about 15. Regularly lifting since about 23 with a 3 year layoff from 28-31. 31 till now, lifting 4-6 days/week.
After the layoff I changed style for size rather than strength. Before the layoff I was 400squat, 500dead, 400bench. All "no-no-no" lifts.

I'm only listening to Hedgehog and you...ignoring Arvilla and TA (as far as advice), but they're fun to read  ;D

I agree...w/o proper mass, being leaner and walking around with clothing on only makes you look more like you'd be the tiny kid at the beach who gets sand kicked on them.

Once I have the resources I plan on doing like Hedge said: getting to 240-250 lean (10-15% bf) with "supplimental" help. Then going up to 300+ (as far as I can get) lean. But when I say resources, I don't just mean drugs, I also mean a quality supervisor. I had PM'ed GH15 to join his experiment but he never replied -- I can thereby only assume he's a flake, so I wouldn't want to work w/ him anyhow. I do, however, have another advisor right now who seems to know his shit (another reason I took the pic -- track how well I do by his advice)...so we shall see (crossing fingers!!).

Dude...............your fat it's not rocket science!!!

advisors/quality supervisor lol!!!   .............,stop looking for the easy way out!~
keep ur protein high
carbs moderate
sugar,sodium,..low
good fats
eat every 3 hours (healthy)
do cardio
train heavy/hard
get enough sleep

No Mike, I'm not going to do any of that. I like my current existance of 24/7 couch napping in front of the TV with a bag of cheetos and a beer (or 10). My welfare check runs just enough to be able to get my food and about 55g of test/week (a whole variety of test's -- my bag of drugs looks like a 4th of July "Mondo Boom Ultra Explosion" pack!! Yehhaa baby!), and I can mooch everything else off my mom till I'm 45 or so.

No way in hell am I going to workout or do cardio, much less actually get off my couch and go to the gym. I'm trying to gain weight. The only way to do that is to not workout, and eat more. Less calories lost through stupid things like working out or cardio, and more calories eaten, equals more MASS!

Dammit why can't you all understand such a simple concept? It's not rocket science.  >:(

Must suck to be you.

sooooooooooooooooooooo  cardio doesn't burn fat!?!?!??!?!
i dont want to speak for TA(he doesnt need me to ;D) but what i think he means by not doing cardio yet is that garreath should try and lean out as much as possible by dieting BEFORE he starts throwing in cardio (which i agree with) because if you can get to losing bodyfat by getting your diet down to a tee then when you do start doing cardio youll know that youve got your diet spot on too.basically if your diets not right and you try and make up for it by doing more cardio youll look a lot worse than if youve perfected the nutrition side of things then start to add the cardio (if you need to).

Garreth the best way to get lean fast is to get ahold of some Tricana , it comes from Europe and its  safe.Its the only thyroid enhancer that wont fuck up your thyroid.I would use Tricana and about 25mg of ephedra 3 times per day and your fat will literaly melt away.Best of all Tricana in muscle sparing so it wont make you look stringy.I have been using Tricana for my contest dieting for the last 8 years and after I got off of it my thyroid bounced right back .
