This is me......
May 13th, 06....a few days after getting back into my routine. I've been caught up in life for two years and never found time to hit the weights, But now I'm back on track and looking forward to being any shape but ROUND!
hey man, you have a hell of a base to work with there. Obviously you hold a fair amount of muscle but I can tell by looking at your face that your body fat level is definately in the high teens. You HAVE to get on track with the diet, hell man, you have a great physique under there and you are killing me right now for not taking it to the next level!!
I want you to get deep into your head over the next couple days and try to figure out why you arent ready to commit to a structured diet. I want you to realize that you can have a head turning physique my mid summer and take advantage of that by posting on the "free online training" thread. You would be great to work with BUT you have to be ready.
Dont "waist" time, you can look awesome in no time!!

Ps, from a photography stand point what lens did you use? A little taste of our other forum of choice
Dude, I don't want to kill you so help me get the diet straight?!?
That is my big hold back to greatness, I know nothing about "proper" nutrition. I think that holds a lot of people back to a point. I would love to look awesome by the mid/late summer but I don't know where to start? I'm on Relacore, CLA and I can get a muscle by looking at the weight......All that's wrong is my diet. TRUST ME, I'm ready to get rid of the fat! I've been ready for a long time but, like you say, I had to want it. Well, I want it, BAD!
I will give you my "base" to mold into your greatest masterpiece!!
As far as the Camera.....It's a G5 and it's the standard lens. It really does well for a point and shoot. I'm thinking of getting a 20D but man, with all the extra's, they're expensive!!
Re: This is me......
I can't believe you haven't hit the weights in 2 years..wow.. you have held on to your muscle quite well Like Darrin said, you have quite the potential!!
Re: This is me......
Well....What's sad is that I really haven't. I still have muscle, don't get me wrong, but I used to be a whole lot bigger. Looking down and seeing my scrawny arm is one big motivator to get back in shape.
My brother in law came over the other day and I had my shirt off.....Something I don't do much anymore.....He said "Hey, I remember when we used to set a Pepsi can on top of your chest when you flexxed, what happened?".
Re: This is me......
Yeap I agree with LA and Darrin...you have some solid base there dude All you need is to lean out and maintain the size...from my point of view..bigger is not always better,but that is just my personal opinion
Re: This is me......
Thanks for all the ego booosters......You guys make me feel a lot better. I've been really depressed, not like kill myself depressed , but just bummed because I didn't feel good and I hated being fat.
I busted my but last night working out and this morning I feel twice as big and my stomach was wAAyy flatter than it has been in a long time! I've got so much energy now, I don't know if it's the CLA/Relacore or just my body sayin "Good job Mike"!
Re: This is me......
Good to hear you feeling HAPPY Train hard,eat smart and before you know it we will be drooling over your ripped physique You are on the way up
That has never happened when someone was looking at me. I've always been the "best friend" of the guy that was drooled over. I'd be happy if someone just spit their water out when I took my shirt off...
Now thats an offer you can't refuse
I'm not a very good water spitter always spit it on myself
So how about i just faint instead in a very girly manner LOL

Re: This is me......
You know.....I can imagine what its gonna be like when I have to get my Prostate check, totally humiliating and embarassing.
WELL, I took my before pictures tonight and I think I can compare that to a Prostate exam........Disgusting!
I hope with time I can bare to look at them again......

Re: This is me......
Talking about prostate..Billy O'Conolly was touring NZ and I saw the DVD-he was talking about his prostate check up and I was rolling on the floor with tears streaming down my face Perhaps your one will be as funny when you have it done one day in the future I am sure those pics are not as bad.....
