I am going to join there and hope to get in really good shape within a few months of being home. I mean I will have a spare 50ish hours a week LOL. Right now I am about 190lbs but am only carrying enough mass that i feel I should be around 180. I would love to be able to sustain this size and drop off the belly as I like to be a bigger guy and when i workout too much and diet i shrink to a ripped 172-5 every time. > [@Janus](#): > > I just looked that up and it sounds like a nice change, i’m going to have to try it! It is the heat! I followed it for about 10months straight once and the changes were mind blowing. He also has a FD/FS workout plan for when you are getting kinda sick of this one. It is so brutal. I was doing this and standard HIIT sprint training and was so ripped I had veins going up my abs! WTF! ---

He ended up as a welterweight at the Rochester show at 163 lbs. He looked a little flat and came in third. There was this monster in his class trained by George Farah who was using this show to qualify for the nationals and he smoked everyone in his class. ---

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this. Im unemployed now so I want to get in better shape. I was going to start with the usual jogging sit ups and push ups and changing my eating habits. I want some more upper body, Will I get anything from sit ups and push ups? ---

you won’t necessarily gain muscle mass, but you can cut fat and tone up by doing exercises with your own body weight. sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups,add a little weight for more resistance. you can use anything that has a little heft to it and is easy to hold. ---

Your buddy almost got overlooked in pre-judging because his color was so light. He would have looked a lot better with more color on him. He was very lean/ripped and deserved second place. The guy who won was a monster, and was just using this show as a stepping stone to do the Nationals. ---

What’s the best exercise/routine to get rid of love handles and that last little bit of stomach flab? I have a good diet and drink tons of water. I also run 3-4 miles and do abs 3 times a week. There are just some stubborn chub sections that won’t go away. Annoying. ---

The key to dropping your love handles is dropping your bf% so hit a high intensity weight routine and substitute some of your running with interval training like 60/30 jog/sprints and you will be where you need to be in no time. I use p/rr/s for weight training and jog/sprints when i am trying to be ripped. A link to p/rr/s is on the previous page I believe. ---

There are just some stubborn chub sections that won’t go away. Annoying. You may have a “good” diet but your genetics are pre-disposed to storing bodyfat in those areas. Make your “good” diet into a “great” diet and get your bf% levels lower and see what happens. ---

well, i weighed in this week at 142.8… i want to pack on 20 lbs of muscle and i’ll be a much happier guy. Maybe subscribing to this thread will help motivate me… I doubt it. Ps. I was 153 lbs at my absolute max about a month ago… had a bad week, couldnt eat anything, starting to eat again, and am leveling off ~145-6 lbs. I eat GARBAGE all day too.
