Yeah I'm down 80 pounds now. I was 342 officially for the Arnold but I was dressed and ate a huge breakfast before weigh ins. I'm sitting around 340 right now. I will come into Kenny Patterson's meet in July as a 308er started the 2nd phase of my diet today.
Kind of funny I cut off 80 pounds and add 25 to my bench. Surprised the shit outta Louie at Westside.
Wolfy!!!!
I commend you on the weight loss.
A friend of mine who's been an elite PL SHW had to lose weight, or he knew he would be dead in 10-20 years, he was starting to have some serious health issues from what I understand.
He was well above 350 lbs, and fcuking obese. No other word for it, really.
Great strength, he was even strong RAW, but he was obese.
He's lost 70 lbs thus far, and will get probably end up below 220 lbs.
Whatever happens with your strength and results, you did the right thing.
Living is everything after all.
