wow that is great. now post your diet and workout unless it is further on in this thread.

[l7ustin]

just read about the keto diet, gonna do it. help me setup a work out plan chi. ill use that ketosis diet plan as my nutrition plan

[Chi_archie]

dustin... didn't think anyone would really want help.......

but i'll type something up tomorrow...tired now

what kind of equipment do you have access to? homegym? gym membership? what kind of workouts have you done in the past? how old are you?

do you have experience with lifting? like do you know how to do a power clean? push press? front squat? deadlift? bent row? ect...

[picantel]

Not sure about him but I can do all you stated there except my gym for some reason does not allow cleans.

[smarmy]

I am in the shape of a perfect pear. And who am I to mess with perfection?

[Bread]

Apparently, Scholar does not like cut doods or he woulda been all over this thread.

[Chi_archie]

boooooooo

he told me I am georegeous in chat... I was sad I wanted a 5 syllable adjective

[Bread]

I don't know about 5 syllables, but I'm sure you gave him a 5 knuckled smile.

[Chi_archie]

glad to be of service

[Bread]

Overtake Castle Greyskull, which rightfully belongs to her father, the King of Eternia.

[Chi_archie]

I have the power!!!!!!!!!!!

[Teela]

glad to be of service


now how can I help Teela?

Teela is beyond help.

Bread, you are my favorite dummy.

[Chi_archie]

Teela Feelya!!!!

[diogee]

Chi what is your starting weight and daily calorie breakdown if you don't mind sharing.

[l7ustin]

chi i have a membership at a local 24 hour gym down the street, its got basic equipment, im 22. I have a little lifting exp not a ton. last time i got big into working out i focused on eating a lot of protein and lifting 5 days a week doing 2 body groups back-bi chest-tri leg-shoulders and just alternated everyday.

[Chi_archie]

Dustin....


google

starting strength... Bill Starr.... duel factor training..... 5x5


dude I don't even work my arms out... but maybe once every month..if that... just big compound movements.. worked intensely... need more rest..you grow when you rest...

i'll be back with more details later...

[Teela]

How often are you working out each day?

[Chi_archie]

you don't wanna know...


somtimes 2-3 times per day....morn hard cardio/intervels... afternoon lift...evening light cardio (walk, eliptical, b-ball

[Teela]

Wow. That would be why you would drop the weight and get the muscles in just a few months.

[Bread]

Teela likes beefy men...but usually not as literate as you Arch.

Sorry.

[Chi_archie]

I have been working out all my life... till about 1.5 years before that "before" picture.....was in the worst shape of my life... so it is five times easier to regain what you lost...in a short period of time then it is to get bigger or lose fat for the first time... much less at the same time, which is almost impossible.

I've been way bigger and i've been maybe a bit more cut maybe... but I just went crazy discipline for 12 weeks and put them together...

[Teela]

Teela likes beefy men...but usually not as literate as you Arch.

Sorry.

Behave.

Remember, the sniper is watching you.
