both lol i'll admit it i got some fat to lose. i still look good though haha
Yeah but not like Sylvester Stallone...hehe
I see guys all the time at the gym that don't have any muscle definition or even look like they work out that much but can lift a pretty good amount of weight.

Actually that is the phrase I use when I tell my wife I am going to the gym...I say "I am going to get my LL on, I'll be back" So yup I am trying to get Cool J status.

LOL Stallone looks Nasty, i don't want my veins to look like worms under my skin. I just want the big arteries to show more, when i am lifting is when all my other veins can show ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

All you have to do is diet and cardio and you can lose your fat.

I haven't had any alcohol, pasta or rice since since 3/1 and I can actually see a big change in my body. I've also been doing 20 minutes of cardio and walking a lot at work every day. I still haven't lost any weight but can see fat dissapearing little by little.

weight is just a number, its the body fat percentage you want to worry about.
It doesn't matter how much you weight its how much fat you have on your body that matters. When anerexic girls/guys die they are considered obessed thats because since they didn't eat their body ate away all their muscle mass but left the fat. The body works in weird ways, fat is energy being stored but your body will eat the muscle mass away first if you don't have the right diet to sustain them when your doing cardio.

Just stay away from Steroids, its a lazy mans way of getting big and all that's going to happen is when your off your going to loose Muscle and notice all the wonderful stretch marks.. Work hard and earn what you have!
There are alot of good combo's of over the shelf supliments that will give you the drive at the gym, I know when I am going throuhg my off months I take something along the line of ephedrine or major energy boost that will force me to work out when I dont want to.

2 of the best bench presses I've seen.
One kid in my gym about 22 years old weighing 125. I spotted him for a 265 bench and it was a clean honest lift. He was a regular 3 times a week but not a serious lifter. He wasn't built either, just a little bit tones.
My ex workout partner weighed 115 benched 155.
She was a girl so that was pretty good.
I've never tried steroids ( too scared) but I know lots of guys on them. I tried creatine and noticed a little bit of a gain, then discoved I was using it for 2 months incorrectly. Oh well.

ok I'm on a mission to bench 185. I think it looks cool to have 4 plates on the bar for 225 but I'll start slow. Shit right now I have 1 plate and a dime on each side and its hard. It sucks though because a girl benched more than that right next to me while I was benching. Talk about embarrassing. She even looked over at me and smirked with a little laugh. Bitch! My first goal is to do a plate and a quarter on each side for 185. Then I'll shoot for 225. I'm at 170 right now. What exercises should I do to help my bench? This guy told me to do legs to increase my bench but I don't get it. Why do legs to help the bench? Anyway, just wondering what I can do to improve my sorry bench.

no the key is to NEVER build your legs, but build a massive chest and arms, so you can look like spongebob lol

I didnt cheat. I wasnt in any competition or playing any sports where I would have any type of advantage because of how I chose to work out. Different people have different goals... my goal was to get bigger, put up heavy weight in a short period of time.
