Hey guys and gals!
Some of you might remember me from the last M4Bteams Transformation contest and have read my log in the Chem Diaries section. There are lots of before after and current pics on me there. It changed my life in so many ways I cannot explain. Even though my look changed in those 12 weeks but my health dramaticly improved. My sense of well being changed and I have a totally outlook on life. I also learned more about my body and mental state on what I can do in that time frame more than the rest of my life. On top of that did you guys see what Heavy did for me man what a class act!!

I have been training on and off since the age of 12. My father trained before I was born till the day he died at the age of 53. I grew up with all the magazines and watching him train in our basement gym in NYC. I still have his Dan Laurie 100lb plates. He taught me how to do some stuff when I was young but I wasnt allowed to go into his "santuary" even when I was in my 20's! He never missed a workout in over 30 yrs no lie! My father passed in 2002 of a heart attack. He is a huuuggee motivating factor for me. My thoughts are of him everytime I step into the gym. I have a brother that is into BB too he is 6' 240 and between 8-11% all year he is a PT. My father was proud that we both took up we he loved so much and I plan to carry that tradition wit my 4 yrs old boy.

In high school I was 220lbs about 5'10 and trained twice a day. There were some yrs I stopped and then picked back up but I never knew how to eat or take supps properly. I had done one cycle when I was 25 and that was it till 37. But I consumed every PH out there in the 90's. I also never had a good lifting routine I would follow whatever was in Flex or MD on Ronnies workout I was deadlifting squating and powercleaning w/ presses twice a week lol 2 hrs 6x a week.

Well I accumulated multiple herniated disk from lifting and/or car accidents. I have nerve damage down my left arm from my neck and have no feeling in my finger tip. Also sciatic nerve acts up too. A bynine tumor in my knee I was born with. And Chron;s Disease witch is a intestinal infamation. I can not tolerate certain foods without multiple trips to the toilet. I ave had this since I was 18yrs old. And until recently took meds ED and colonoscopy every year with other tests too.

About a year and half ago I started lifting again after a 5 yr break I was so out of shape and slowly I went back but strength was'nt coming so Dr got me on TRT I was in the low 200's. Then strength size starting coming and coming I actually ballooned up to 260 after I discovered other compounds too. But still diet was shit.

I stumbled on RX and read around some and realized Dave Palumbo owned this site. I had trained in a gym Dave and Jimmy went too in the late 90's early 2000's. And was more interested in the sites content. My diet started getting better after reading all you guys posts in all the sections I had dropped from 260 to about 230 in 2 months. When the contest came up I said screw it. If I'm gonna do it I'm going to do whatever I can to win. I never did anything like that before. I pretty much followed Palumbo's diet the whole way. And with help from the chem section devised a cycle too. In the 12 weeks I dropped 37lbs from a start of 228 to 191.

I have tromendous drive and disclpline and enjoy the cooking shoping preparing and eating all the frequent meals. Most of all I love the Training. I follow lots of principles of Dorian Yates he makes the most sense to me in training and in life. I also get inspired by Dave's quotes too.

After reading all of your inspirational logs here I wanted to become a part of it as well. I get the same feel of camaraderie as the 10 of us had in the contest and its an awesome motivator.

Here is a little info on me at this point in time and my goals for this log
38 years old
5'11"
189.8 lbs as of this AM

Shelby Starnes is now doing my nutrition for the last 3 weeks and changes are coming more dramaticly. The guy is awesome and I wish I contacted him before the contest. But I had to do that to get here now. I will not give full details of my diet out of respect for Shelby's business but I will share what I can.

My goal is to step on a stage and compete in the near future. First and foremost is my health and controlling my disease then get into great shape then compete! The first two are just about done so I know where I'm headed next!

My log will be as detailed as I know how and I will share any information On training diet and life circumstances as they happen.

Please feel free to critisize too as it only helps! I 'am still in a huge learning process but in the end of the day I know my disipline, drive, consistancy and hard ass work carry me more then the knowlede I have. I have a great support system as well, my wife is awesome and supports me all the way. I also have a 4 yrs old son named after myself and my Father. I got him naming bodybuilders and doing pushups when he is bad!

Thanks to all the mods for this opportunity once again especially Big Barry,Maz and HeavyIron! Thank You for being a part of RX ! I hope you follow me through my journey and Thank You for your time and comments!!

Well it's time for another 12 weeks of fun here.

I had a great time pushing as best as I could during the M4BTEAM Transformation challenge even though I had a few obstacles along the way.

I made some good gains in fat loss getting down to 205 from somewhere in the mid 230's.

I have proved that I need to always be moving forward to avoid falling back, I have rebounded to 214 since the contest and being off the gas for almost 2 months now.

The plan is to cut as much as possible and retain and even gain some muscle.

I'll will be using the following M4B products in this cycle.

Test E--Weeks 3-8
Test P--Weeks 9-12
Tren A--Weeks 9-12

T3----Weeks 3-12
Clen--Weeks 1,2,5,6,9,10

Ill use some ECA on the off weeks of clen.

I'm thinking of starting higher volume to start then for the change of tests and adding the tren move to less volume and as heavy as possible.

Nutrition and macros will adjust as I go, still figuring that out.

Here's how I looked a few weeks ago at 205

This log is going to center upon two of my favourite things; eating and lifting.

The food:
When it comes to eating, I take one page from the raw vegan's journal and another from the bodybuilder's. I believe raw, organic, whole vegetables are highly important to keeping your body functioning optimally, but to get the absolute best out of your body, you can't ignore the importance of meat proteins.
This log will have:
- healthy, bodybuilding friendly recipes, including lots of tasty low carb meals
- helpful tips and tricks from what I do to get the best tastes out of every ounce in the kitchen
- profiles of some of my favourite whole foods, spices, herbs and other ingredients
- explicit food-porn on occasion ;D

The training:
Obviously there's going to be some of that too. ]]> Training Journals HangingLegRaise http://forums.rxmuscle.com/showthread.php?115927-Good-eats-good-off-season
