[StateOfTrance]

Last night I had the most rediculous workout. Felt sick, I just kept goin and goin. On dumbells alone I did like 12 sets. haha Did some flys, rocked out major dips, and then a lil tri pushdown for some added flavor. Then hit the abs on decline bench with sets of 20 pushups between each variated ab set.

My weight on everything lately has been going up too.

Zone <--- I'm in it!

[eL FryEdo]

just getting back into it this past month after a 6 month hiatus :wallbang feeling good tho strength and size are coming back and im seeing good results .... thank god for muscle memory .... still FAR from where i left off which sucks all that hard work to get there only to slack off and lose it but my endurance is back as well and im able to get in sick workouts :silly

[DEEPER KEMICAL]

Training is going great. Need to hone in on my diet tho, but thats coming along. Physique is getting full, somewhat of a sprinter/gymnasts and a olympic weightlifter (for back musculature). need to lean out some more tho to get more defined. i am stronger than i have ever been, makjing good solid gains. becoming faster and more agile. loving it

[kroms]

im 6'6.5" so at 226 im not meatneck sized lol...i walk around at 235ish normally..
ultimately my goal would be to be under 10%BF at 235 (maybe next year)...

[LUV2LUVME]

i was slacking for a few weeks but now i'm back on track ... thankfully my time off from the gym didn't cause me to gain any weight ... i tried to made up for it by eating well and i guess that worked! :)

Holy high tower LOL.. but still i think last time you had a pic up you were in real good condition!!

[chrisd1163]

slacked for the past week with gym, mma and diet but other than that doing great. I'm back in the swing of things and although I gained 3 lbs this past week, I'm still down over 70lbs. I have upped my kickboxing to 5 days a week, 2 hour private sessions and I'm getting back on the mat for jits 2 or 3 days a week. I won't be in the gym as much with the warm weather. I like to do my cardio outside whenever possible. I have been focusing on core strentgh the past 2 months and I have noticed a huge difference. Very happy with progress. My short term goal is to drop another 13lbs by my bday July 31st.

hands down if you want to get leaned out and keep muscle... its easy to do, and it doesn't leave you hungry.

best diet, down to 10% body fat right now, aiming for 8 for summer.

[Jimmy M]

Pretty well. Need to step up the cardio which I've started doing more frequently. I feel like my back isn't progressing as quickly as chest though so I may need to make some changes.

[LittleBouncer]

3 weeks out..... shredded ....cardio is thru the roof and ive just been a take down machine....dropping fools with headkicks too

[crazyray™]

had shoulder surgery 1/22.... standing right now the shoulder is probably at 85%, and i'm in at 6'2 - 210... arguably the best shape i've ever been in... never thought i'd be back this hard this fast

[TrippinFace101]

Fucked my shoulder up still lettin it heal still doin light workouts here and there. Fucked my knee up when working on my car all drunk and shit gotta go easy on my knee. Ill get there im in no rush. Can still curl 100lbs lol

[dieselstruts]

Training going great. Always room for more improvement.

As for training i've been hitting the gym 5-6 times a week. For the most part two a days.

Had to edit...

Am would be my heavy lifts. Cleans, dead lifts squats etc...PM would be a touch up or the earlier exercise.

Diet is on point and very bland. Recently bumped up the cardio, prolly adds up to approx 1 hour 15 min each day. Thats split between tredmil, Stairs, bike and jump rope. Always 3 miles on the tred mil though.


I've been trying to track the calories i been taking in and the calories i've been burning.

Currently working on lowering my Body fat.

5'4 170 llbs. Last time i got checked 14% Bf. That Labled me as "athletic" . Def wana get that in the single digits.I've calculated my body fat as 23.8, and Lean Body Mass as 146.2.

we'll see how it goes.

cue Jonesy with a whining picture or post... lol


in all honesty, i would love to be this lean all the time, but it is not how God intended me to be.... it is alot of freaking hard work and major sacrifices.... which i am completely embracing at the moment. i really do not feel like i'm depriving myself of much, except pizza and chocolate... but those are just fleeting thoughts that come and go here and there...

i really hope i place well in this competition, i'm doing everything i can.... :) it's exactly one month from today....

[johnp]

[DEEPER KEMICAL]

great job

[TIANA]

Thanks!! I'm super excited!!! woo hoo!


i lost 8 lbs...not much but a start


slow and steady wins the race.... when i was 16.... my normal weight was over 140 lbs... every year since then i have managed to lower that number.... my normal weight (without dieting or trying hard) is 123-126....

SLOW AND STEADY.... trust me!!!!! the extreme yo-yo dieting is very bad for you.... look at Oprah, Luther Vandross, Janet Jackson.... very bad.... their skinny, their fat, their skinny, their creeping up on the scale again, oh no wait, skinny again... lol

[johnp]

great job

Thanks. It is deff your eating habits. i went from kinda of watching...to being really strict and eating 6-7 times a day. All small meals 3 hours apart. I bring a huge bag of food to work so i don't end up messing up and ordering whatever my co-workers order. Pretty much all weighed out and portioned. Do the gym at least 4-5 times a week, and that will switch to 5-6 times a week starting saturday. I try to do cardio in the morning and lift at night but usually i don't wake up and I just do the cardio at night..

stay focused..........

Yes you are definitely right about that. I am always up down up down...I am trying to slowly get down then stay there. Like my boy always tells me..it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle......

[TIANA]

:agree LIFESTYLE BABY!!!! you got it!

[Toni Bunz]

I'm down 9-10 lbs! :yipee Still have a good 6 or 7 to go. I don't want to get too skinny though. Last time I dropped weight, my ribs were sticking out. Not a good look

[TIANA]

Good job toni! :)

[Toni Bunz]
