methodzero’s BodyBlog

want to be at my lowest possible bodyfat % possible, and with this I would be probably be under 140 lbs so my question is, is there a class that light (bantam maybe?), also will being heavily tattooed on one side of my chest and half of sleeve destroy my chances.

I have been at b.b. for 1 year now and my strength has tripled, no longer suffer health problems I once did, lost 6 inches in my waist and overall feel much better, but I am not the massive machine I thought I would be, is it my age? I lift 5 times a week and my body is more toned…I want mass…Any advice on a good mass routine and diet would be great, also supplements (whey is making me seriously seriously bloated and sick lately) willing to try someones regimen and see how it goes…please…any help.

Saved my life….literally….This isn’t something I talk about much but hey sometimes you have to share in hopes it might help someone else. 1 year ago I walked in the gym with the goal of getting buff and all that good stuff and well what was about to happen to me was something I would of never imagined. You see my whole life I have suffered from various "psyche" disorders including anxiety, been given the adhd diagnosis as a kid, bipolar, you name it. Last year I just felt horrible and honestly wanted to off my self but luckily did not. This wasn’t because something really was wrong in my life, in fact everything was fine, just the way my brain works I guess makes me this way.Anyhow when I enter a gym I feel a high like never before and yes I go through the feelings where I want to just turn around, to tired, etc, but once I start I go into zone, a zen state of nothingness (hence my name here methodzero) zero doubts zero thought zero mental illness, I just…."am" I leave with a sense of peace which comforts me for a good amount of hours and I feel whole or normal whatever that means. So I write this because of course body building is about goals, about being ripped and hot, who doesn’t want to be hot right, but what doesn’t get mentioned as much here is what it does to people inside. I am not stretching the truth ….if I did not get up that night and drive to my local gym, I would not be here, I was shaky, anxious, had eating issues, didn’t go out much, laid around, and just did not care and could not wait until I no longer breathed, on the outside I wore almost a 36 inch waist and only like 155 lbs (skinny fat), I was so weak that I would get winded walking to the car. 1 year later I just bought a pair of 29/30 inch waist jeans, yea and my body is hard as a rock (not big yet), veins everywhere, strength tripled, treadmill time more than tripled,not bad for 1 year, but the mental aspect is amazing, so amazing that I am studying to be a trainer soon and want to help others and really try to focus on helping others who have mental things going on…I no longer take medicine because the dopamine I get from working out helps me (I am not a doctor so if you take medicine dont stop unless your doc says). Anyhow in a nutshell what I wanted to say was that I will always have depression but because of body building and this website, depression will never have me.  Peace.
