Im an active member of BodyBuilding.com and i was just curious if any of you guys are into bodybuilding or atleast fitness freaks.

Any of you take suppleemnts? what do you guys take?

I was 280-285lbs in 2006...i gained 60lbs since high school (2004)and i needed to lose weight. I was 38%bodyfat in HS and i dont even want to know what i was last year (probably 99%)

anways, started dieting In January/February and lost 30+lbs (currently 252.5) and am now at 23% body fat. I bodybuild religiously as do i with auto detailing. I...like most bodybuidlers do different cylces..cut/bulk/pct etc...

not to mention i was getting so damn exhuasted from detailing and i knew i needed a change in order to make my business successfull, not to mention to extend my life

I'll post before n after pix of myself

tell us your stories and for those who bodybuild...why do u do it!

I don't bodybuild since I can't build mass for the life of me. I lifted every day for a year, concentrating on different muscle groups each day, drinking protein shakes, eating tons, etc. and I gained about 4 lbs of muscle. I was way more cut, but no bulk. I am a distance runner, so I was tall and skinny to start, and that's how it's going to stay, I think.

So I gave up and started cycling a bunch, which was a lot more fun for me. Just keep at it, you're making good progress and think about how much of that fat you have converted to muscle already!
 
I used to lift weights when in college, but since I have a desk job now and sit inside all day, what I love to do most is grab my bike and kane it around for a few hours.
 
Twice a week in the gym. In and out early. These two sessions include aerobic stuff (eliptical machine) for 30 minutes each time). This is not enough but better than no exercise. The minimum is suppose to be four 30 minute aerobic sessions a week.
 
At the gym 6 days a week.2500 ab reps a week.light weights at high reps for tone.2days in the gym on stationary bike for 1 1/2 hrs.4 days aweek outside on the bike for an hour each time.8 % body fat.Supplements,msm and osteo bi-flex for joint health(bad knees).1000 mgs,vitamin c,400 iu of vitamin e,2000 grams of b-12 a day.Resting heart rate 40 beats per minute.age55,wght. 175lbs.6 small meals a day consisting of protein,complex carbs and simple carbs.:D
 
I used to be into it and still am some. Trying to get back into the routine. I used to work for bulknutrition.com and I am still a mod on the forum but not as active as I should be. I was about 140-150 leaving hs and when I left college I was up to 175. While at BN I was up to 185. I just basically stayed on a bulking phase b/c I am naturally lean. Good luck and your doing well.
 
I trained (weightlifting) religiously for 6 years. I loved it. eventually I ran into money issues and couldn't renew my gym membership. Missing one day grew to complete stoppage. I'm now 29 and thirty pounds over weight and I feel the worst I've ever felt. We bought an Elliptical for our house, but I as usual after I get off a 9hr+ day I look at that thing with utter lifelessness. I can't get out of this rut and its taking it toll on me.
Keep up the training. I'm sorry I ever stopped.
 
Used to but haven't had the time in the last couple years to implement a full workout routine, I always surfed/wakeboarded etc so still stayed in shape. The other day started lifting weights again and was suprised at how weak I felt compared to before, gotta get body used to it again, I was sore as hell afterwords.

I may just buy a BowFlex setup b/c of time and could go to the gym like once/twice a week for free weights. Surprisingly my friend has a nice BowFlex setup and he loves it, he's had some nice gains as when tension builds it really puts a workout on the muscles, and he goes to the gym once a week to lift free weights.

thats a beautiful routine and your suppleemtens/timing of meals is great as well
alot of people have that stigma of eating 6 meals..they assume your gonna get fatter
after being related to PHYSIOLOGY with this whole nursing crap you undersatnd the whole idea of it....and yes CARBS ARE GOOD FOR U...everyone should have a 1:1 protein carb ratio as 'normal' if anyone is in phases then just do it accordingly
