Started buying stuff for my own personal run for weight. in my head im going for 200 and im going to go hard. Got ISO mass gainer, 42g shooters, 15 pounds of the normal metabolic whey, Soba noodles, chicken, fish oil, random vitamins. Im going in to beefcake mode in a week or so....nothing else will matter at this point.

Ive started working out, but only really when I get a chance... been going about 3 times a week.. work out for about an hour each time... dont really think I should be posting up in here though, I aint racing haha.. and Ive got a gut, but Im working on it

[SeanDub]

Well, I've been reduced to machines for all of my chest lift needs. Something is wrong in my left hand and it hurts like a other fucker when i lift, I almost dropped the dumbell

[Russell_G]

Going to try out the Dark Rage for pre workout. A few guys i know are saying good things about it.

[BreakMyWallet]

im liking my pre workout stuff. but its different for everyone.


btw. ive already cut a lityle bit. my bench went up 10lbs since last week.

my weight went from 194 to 189 (scale at the gym)

but well see what the results are like in another 3 weeks

[BreakMyWallet]

nice change, i would say. haha

before:


after:



im not really the guy to go to the gym and look pretty, i basically just try to get stronger for baseball. my strength has just about doubled since that first picture. nice to see that my hard work has paid off

[SeanDub]

Awesome progress man

[Petis]

I;ve always been in the gym, since I was 14 yrs old, but for a while I fell off my game. (getting married, back issues, and going on 3 cruizes in 2 yrs). So, I have been doing what you guys have been doing also, justunkowing of this thread.

My wife and I decided to get back in shape together. Sh has lost over 15 lbs and I am back down, from 197 lbs (my heaviest) to 182 lbs (today)

No super current pics of me, but I have gotten a little better in the past couple weeks. Anyway......

before: (195lbs on a cruize, eating a shit load every day for seven days. I gained 12 lbs onthis cruize alone!)



Now: (One a couple weeks before 512 project and one at 512 project. Big change in those 2-3 weeks)



looking jacked as shit here! lol







no supps at all. Just a healhy diet, regular workout sched. and not eating past 7:30p-8p

[Jedidiah]

This is good stuff... makes me want to get back on my game... Someone call me out if I don't report back with results in 6 weeks.

[BreakMyWallet]

thanks guys

Petis: nice progress dude!

[Petis]

^You too man. Forreal, makes me want to try out some supps, but they always have made my joints ache really badly (I already have arthritis(sp?) in my back)

I am getting in on this now too. As of right now: 5'10" 196 lbs. I mainly want to cut down, get in good condition. Looking fitter will be nice, but I am not out to be huge like sean and russell(both of you are lookin good though).

Weight goal: No specific weight goal, but being 175-180 would be pretty awesome while retaining the strength I currently have.

Plan: Diet/eat smart. LOTS of cardio. Running, swimming, biking, etc. Continue to go to the gym and possibly work on cutting/keeping the strength that I have. I dont know much about supplements, but I do plan on taking whey protein, dont know what else though.

Eventual/1 year plan goal: Be in good enough shape/condition to do a triathlon and finish with a good time. For the event I plan o doing, I would LOVE to see 1 hour 30 minutes, but its at an altitude so we will see.

Pics:I will update with pics later this evening.


BreakMyWallet: Impressive results for just one year of having at it! What did you do in terms of cardio/diet to cut down like that? I have a feeling we had/have similar wants/goals for fitness. Any tips?

[SeanDub]

^You too man. Forreal, makes me want to try out some supps, but they always have made my joints ache really badly (I already have arthritis(sp?) in my back)

I take MSM for my joints. As for supps, overrated. Just creatine for me now.

thanks dude. yeah there are things you can take for your joints. you dont really need supps though, just get after it!

well my goal was to get bigger actually. im at 192 now and want to get to 200lb ideally (scouts look at that kind of thing)

as far as what i did, i had one of the best weight training coaches in the country dude. LOL. dude is amazing, and gets offers all of the time from the MLB, NFL, but suprisingly he stays at my school (college of the canyons) because its more steady. he has like 3 best selling books and his own section in mens health magazine. check him out http://www.coachdos.com/

we just do a lot of high intensity training. ive learned so much from that dude its crazy.

yeah man. supps are def overrated. i liked methyl 1-d. it cut me down a lot.

i only take creatine, jack3d, and protein right now.




... WTB: HGH though. haha
