Perfect exercise for you. haha.

Yep, me and my greesy hamburgers.

Being down to 203 I feel light. BF back down to about 14-15% right now.

I loose and drop weight way to easy. I've been eating okay, probably around the 3000 - 3500 mark but I've been running myself ragged, not training at all and sweating my ass off so that really helped to plung my weight down quickly.

Yep, I needed to be Tanned and Jacked for the summer.


I wanted to get down to about 205 so I can pack on some more lean mass while staying under 220 but I didn't want to get down to 205 until around the end of July beginning of August. I dropped way to much to fast and feel pretty weak because of it.

Nope, but I don't mind going out and helping others that need it. An entire town just north of me pretty much got wiped off the map by a F5 tornado a few weeks ago and now with all the rain the past month the river running through my town is about to hit record highs and a lot of people have been putting up sandbag walls along the streets, in front of businesses, and homes to help when it does. My house and where I work wont be effected but a lot of places will be. This next weekend is relay for life as well that I will be at. Call me a sucker, I like to make a difference but it's been really wearing on me. It is time to get things back to normal.

At the very beginning of this journal are a few links to help get started. Also, in the PL section I wrote quite a few things if you just do a search for my username in that section. What state do you live in and I can find what PL meets will be coming up. You should definitely go and attend one as that will be the most helpful if you aren't afraid to ask questions.

nope, but if I ever need anything I know I can get help.

Great!

I live in NYC.
Im pretty excited to do both bodybuilding and powerlifting. I might be the only lean powerlifter in the meets lol.

Against popular belief on this forum most powerlifters are not complete fat slobs. Once you get down to even the 242 weight class and below most powerlifters are under 20% bodyfat and more. Once you get down below 220 and 198 they are pretty shreaded. Heck even a few of the guys above 242 cary fairly low bodyfat.

Mike wolfe is a prime example of a SHW that is now around the 308 class and is just Jaked to hell. Ryan K. and Scott M. when at the 308 weight class are the same. These guys are huge but pretty lean as well.

I'm in the 220 class and I would not consider myself to be fat but also don't consider myself to be really lean either. Sam Byrd (powerlifter and bodybuilder) and Matt K. are in the 220 class and are EXTREMELY lean.
