    alright well , this was taken from my camera phone and sent to my album on t-mobile just now

    so before the bashing begins...this is not the best picture and like i said i need a couple more days for more defined abs.

    not to mention this is with almost 5 pounds of water (1 gallon) in me and have not taken a **** yet

    going to post another pic.

    you need more muscle before you can be ripped. bulk for about 4 months then cut the weight you will be much happier.

    again , thats bad advice...and im sure reaper/fulloboost would agree

    guessing from that wildcat you have as your avatar you play football...definitely not the type of body i want. although i can take down guys in the 170-180 range easy (12 stone) BIG DOES NOT MEAN STRONG!

    just took a piss and a **** and lost 2 pounds...TMI?

    jasonball, the key here is to try and lose all body fat and THEN create the muscle...what you call "ripped"

    there is muscle underneath , that will only be a outline/tone. of course i need "more" muscle.

    from what i can tell , it will be naturally occurring and i just need to work whatever area of my body to define it.

    142 pounds now , ideal is 140 (10 stone) then start working out...get what im saying? anyone else input on this and lmk

    just downed 17 ounces of V8...lots of nutrients and vitamins, antioxidants to keep my metabolism up.

    and lets not forget, I DO NOT WORKOUT WHATSOEVER. i occasionally change the oil in my car if that counts, this is what the thread is focusing on.

    here is something to wrap your mind around

    The days of trying to bulk up as much as possible are out. Now the body image most men are looking for and most women find attractive is that of a professional swimmer. They are lean and toned with just the right amount of muscle and body fat to turn heads wherever they go. This is not a simple look to achieve, though. You must follow the right training protocols and make sure your diet is in check.

    For someone who doesnt workout much you seem to think you know what your doing.

    You keep what your doing for 90 days. Ill do my P90X and suplentments and see who makes more progress.

    your going to get bigger, of course... ill be cut..., THEN when i start doing a p90x workout , thats when you will actually see WHY i wanted to be 140 pounds to base off with.

    im not doing anything but dieting...exercise is what will get results

    YOU WANT TO RIP AND TONE? SWIM!

    As far as laps and what type of swimming you do is entirely up to you. Do what you feel most comfortable with.

    Green tea will help you cut.(once a day).

    Stay on your diet.

    Your not in bad shape, your just not toned up at all. Keep with what your doing and swim on the days your not working with weights. That way your getting some kind of exercise daily.

    Your definitely a little guy, but that doesn't mean your at any kind of disadvantage. Things will progress faster than you think.

    80% of everything is nutrition. 10% how hard you work. 10% genetics(I'm f*cked personally).

    Monday-gym(pushing)
    Tuesday-swim
    Wed-gym(pulling)
    Thurs-swim
    Fri-gym(legs/shoulders)
    Sat-swim
    Sun-rest

    Your well on your way man, just hit the gym and the pool hard and you'll be good to go!

    downing 3 cups of herbal tea, green tea and "slimming" tea...my visit to the bathroom is NOT going to be fun.

    it says do not exceed more than one cup on each package, i mixed all 3.

    then going to swim later, big thanks to reaper for the advice.

    all the unnecessary fat that has accumulated in my system over the years. total body cleanse...get to my ideal weight, which at that point i should be toned. then alls i got to do is eat right and exercise right and BAM.

    the teas also help with burning fat

    idk, what i would say is that there might be fat underneath the muscle or vice versa and thats the hardest to get rid of...ask reaper

    you should be drinking almost 100oz of water throughout the day...thats just the "recommended" amount, nearly 6 water bottles

    eat healthier too....

    for reasons i dont even know...i have to wait to do weights...cause they sound the same. weight and wait.

    ill be at 155-160ish soon, lean/cut/skinny w/e, then i do weights and be big like that one guy...thats how hes 175-180lbs...

    all im doing right now is burning fat and creating muscle in place of it.

    no I don't play football. but i do know a something about bodybuilding.

    cardio and muscle mass are the best ways to burn fat. along with diet.


    here is a pic of when I first started.



    about 5 months later.
