ant0064’s BodyBlog

Thank you all for commenting on my 1st blog.  While most of it was meant to have a humorous side to it, I still meant it to be sincere.  With regards to your comments Lexus Punk, thank you for being straight-forward, I respect that.  However, it is quite obvious that we are two completely different people with two completely different goals.  I don’t compete and my goals are not to be skinny, such as yourself.  If I decide to compete, my diet will obviously adjust.  I do eat clean foods 95% of the time, it just so happens that I eat A LOT of these clean foods rich in complex carbs, protein and healthy fats in an effort to be as big as I possibly can be, somewhere around 6000 cal per day if not more.  Some of my meals I have to force feed almost.  If it means adding some fat, which it does, then so be it.  Thanks for saying that I’m “so overweight,” HAHA, I love it.  You calling me a fat ass doesn’t bother me in the least bit; it actually inspires me to get fatter, meaning I will have more muscle.  If I wanted to lose the excess fat that was brought on by my desire to be as large as genetics will let me, then it would take me 8 weeks, but it’s something that I don’t want to do.  I have gotten numerous compliments on my mass over the years, and I plan on getting bigger than I currently am, and then maybe cut just slightly.  Judging from your pictures, our genetics are on opposite ends of the spectrum.  Naturally, you will never have as much mass as me in your lifetime, and I will never be as ripped as you with very low bodyfat, and really don’t want to be ripped since it would require getting small, once again, like yourself.  I’m not a swimmer like you, and don’t have any plans to be competing with Michael Phelps any time soon.  By the way, during his medal run, it didn’t look like he had any abs at all, perhaps he was overweight too since abs are your assessment of obesity?  If I lost that 50-60 extra pounds of fat you claim that I have from simply looking at my progress pictures, I would be 155 lbs minus all of the muscle I would loose in the process, probably putting me around 115lbs living the dream of an emo wearing women’s jeans.  If someone said I could have a 10 pack and be 155 overnight with no effort, or keep my current body, I would choose the ladder without thought.  I’m not trying to be an A&F model here, I already have a beautiful girlfriend and I’ll post a picture of her and I if you would like to see.  From your calculation of me being 50-60 lbs overweight, you are saying that if you reach your goal of being 200lbs, then you will be 35-45 lbs overweight?  Yeah I know, you want it to be lean quality mass and still have abs; good luck gaining significant weight and still have a swimmer’s body.  Just because I don’t have a set of abs, doesn’t mean I have 30% bodyfat, and if it does mean that, then awesome, it’s a number, I couldn’t care less because I know I’m currently meeting MY goals.  I don’t need a caliper test; my BF scale is enough for me, even if it’s incorrect it gives me an assessment of my gains/losses.  I’d like to see you at 215 lbs of mass with a set of abs.  Take a look at my first progress pic:  skinny, little body fat, no abs when relaxed.  That’s not a current goal of mine.  I wish I had more pictures, but I couldn’t dig any up from my skinny days.  Earlier this year, I was on a quest for a six pack, and every time I set out on that quest, I would get depressed because of losing hard earned muscle, so that quest is currently ceased until I gain another 15 lbs.  One more thing, I never said I eat clean all the time, what I’m implying is that I can’t stand when people offer me food that is not in my diet and do not stop offering.  I never mind someone that is being polite and offering me food ONCE; I come from an Italian and Greek family and food is cooked in large quantities, so this happens all the time and I politely say no.  I will choose when I want to cheat, and I don’t need someone else making my food choices for me after I have declined the offer for the first time.  This is what my blog was intended for.  I also like to booze occasionally and participate in gyro eating contests at 3AM after getting hammered on a Friday night, because I have a great social life.  Do I want to sacrifice that for having a six-pack?  Not really, I enjoy life too much, something that a lot of bodybuilder’s just don’t do.  See MJN21, a very good friend of mine, he’s my inspiration for being a BEAST!

Let me also clarify something else about my previous blog.  I am in no way, shape or form putting anyone down that makes an effort.  The people who have taken it upon themselves to make a drastic change in their lives have my utmost respect, whether you are 350+ lbs or 100 lbs.  You have my respect far more than the people with good genetics that have everything come easy to them.
