thats dedication man :wow:

sounds like your journey made you stronger in more ways than one

i don't mean to interrogate you, but im asking you a lot cuz you put in that work and got great results and i like to get insight from ppl that do rare things.

in terms of your injuries do you think they could have been avoided if you had taken a slightly diff approach and how much did they set you back permanently? lifting hard and eating right is manageable, but i don't wanna feel like im 65 when im 35 either.

by the way if you aren't takin anything for your joints/injuries then maybe you should look into glycine powder or jello because they are suppose to increase collagen production which is the building block of healthy cartilage/joints. i've heard some very good things about it..


how much of your size/strength were you able to keep after you "toned it down"?

by "did it the right way" do you mean dedication wise or drug free?

do you remember what your beginning stats weight/strength wise were before that 6year period of grinding?

i appreciate any insight that you might have....

Hey breh ask away. I came to this section of the forum to give a little advice and spread some of the knowledge I picked up over the years. I honestly didn't come here to brag about self accomplishments.

Don't overtrain. Thats the worst mistake you can do. Don't do 6 days a week 3 hours a day. If I could take it back I'd train 4 days a week for about an hour and a half each day.

Yea I take all sorts of supplements for my joints now. I take Glucosamin/MSM/Chondroitin, Omega 3, Glutamine, Super Cissus from USP labs, and I rub tiger balm on my elbows before I lift. I got heavily involved in sports nutrition and ended up making it my career choice.

I kept a good part of it, I'm 210 now but my muscle mass isn't what it was. I've always been big on core strength but I've even toned that down a bit. My diet isn't as strict anymore and I don't come close to taking in the amount of protein I did. Its kinda depressing when I look in the mirror but I'm still in good shape. lol Just have to take care of myself a little more now.

Sorry breh, I meant drug free. Never touched steriods, I've seen them, been offered them countless times but I would never do it.

I started lifting when I was 15 years old. I was a little shyt. I honestly can't remember my exact height but I was about 110lbs.

Feel free to pm me any Q's and good luck with your goals man.

:heh:

Let me guess you took no pics of when you were at 225 5% bf and no vids of your lifts.

:duck:

Stop lying to these kids breh.

:umad:

Let me guess your one of those dudes with the headband on walking around talking for an hour and lifting for 20 mins.


No I'm not the dbag standing in the gym taking pics of my abs or shooting my own video shoot. I'm not anything special and I wasn't in there for anyone else but myself breh. Sure I could probably dig up some beach pics, am I going to? :childplease:


*Edit: I was a certified personal trainer. I was measured in class by a professor from Minnesota who flew in to teach the class. He used a caliper on me to demonstrate to the rest of the class how to use it. Shortly after that I did my max bench. shyt, I could dig that certification up too but honestly don't have any more fukks to give ya breh.

I'm surprised no one has said anything :snoop:


No way dude was 5'10'', 225lbs, 5% bf AND benching 500+ :stopitslime:


And to anyone who believes this :duck: go youtube a 500lb bench, it's going to be REAL hard to find anyone in single digit bodyfat that lifts that much let alone someone at 5%.

Lol your gonna play yourself in this entire thread huh? One of the state records here in PA is for a dude who weighed 198 and benched 550. You should try looking at state benching records. But wait you wanted a youtube video right? Here's one of a 198 lb kid benching 550 lbs...

Rhadi ferguson was 5'8" 225 with 5% body fat at one point. But he's an Olympic medalist and a doctor. His squat is 550. Idk about his bench but he is a smart dude so I'm sure he didn't spend much time on a lift like that.

for everyone that always clamors for videos, most of yall aint postin videos of your lifts either.

You are very confused friend.

And as far as all that other shyt you are posting :cape:. If you want to believe that man's lies go right ahead I'm just giving the other posters that aren't in the know the knowledge to separate the real from the fake.



Did I say a 500lb bench isn't possible? No, but that is getting into powerlifting #s and anyone can claim ANYTHING with no proof.

Did I say getting to 5% is impossible? No, but unless dude was competing he did not get that low and dudes on stage sit around 6% and are depleted.

So knowing this I'm supposed to sit here and let this dude claim he is 5'10'' 225lbs 5% (which no way in hell he would be natty if those were his stats) that would mean he is walking around at 240 in the high single digits. Those are IFBB pro numbers nikka. :upsetfavre:



It's easy, stop with the :duck: and you won't get called out on it. And if you are putting up crazy #s, provide proof.
