Nothing sucks more than old injuries. I look back to june, when i first got back into the gym after 7 years. 7 years of sedintary life cause by a back injury. i gained 100+ Lbs. So far since june i have lost 48 lbs. and almost 6 inches off my waist. Now im struggling with diffrent injuries. My right arm is all but useless anymore. My ex laid acrost my elbow 2 years ago and now i cant curl anything without agony. To this point i do what i can with 20 freakin lbs and hope my arm dosnt shrink. I bought a tennis elbow brace from Walgreen’s. Its a peice of Crap, it dosnt fit and it cuts off the circulation to my hand. I just dont know what to do with it anymore. I guess wanting my 22" arms back is a dream that will never come true now. But i keep chugging forward. Im having trouble with any press movements because i broke my shoulder 4 years back in a bike accident. so im stalling around 220-230 on the hammer bench. And Bar Bell presses are out of the question. But I keep on trucking forward. I cant do squats or deads cuz my back has been broken since 2001. But i keep moving away from the past and into the future. The New ME. So if you want to complain, come complain to me. Ill tell you to quit your bitching and move forward. Do what you can WHILE you can and NEVER let your body rule you. YOU RULE YOUR BODY. Its not a car, that you can replace broken parts on. IF somthing breaks your stuck with it. So you make the best with what you have and NEVER look back. Life is too damn short to sit and wine about meaningless crap. Waif girls with the extra 3 lbs you have to lose? Quit crying and get over yourself. Fatboys who say, Girls dont like me cuz im fat. CHANGE IT FATBOY!!!! ( I can say this, Im fat too. AND CHANGING IT!!!!!!) Get over your self and change your life. Stop crying and be happy. You know there is a problem in a gym when its full of Fit PEople and the fat people stay home.  Fit people dont NEED the gym. But they chose to STAY fit. IF your a fat person CHOSING to stay home then your CHOSING to stay fat. And dont go crying, "ohhh my metabolism is too slow." GET OFF YOUR ASS AND CHANGE IT. If you dont have a legitimate problem, Like Diebetes, of stroke or what ever MEDICAL reason then i dont wanna hear it. I push forward through ICE PICK PAIN in my forearm, Napalm File in my Spine and a Jackhammer in my shoulder. QUIT CRYING AND MAKE THE DECISION TO BE HEALTHY!!!!!! And you WILL be healthy.

I may not be ripped up and cut to the bone. BUT, as far as mass go’s im catching up with you bug guys. Gimme another year and ill be a monster.

Well all, another week has passed. Im down to a 47 waiste, Which means i have 9 more inches till im at my Goal for waiste size. In June size 38 seemed so far away. But now I can see it just on the horizon. I dont update my lifting stats like i should but heh, who cares how much i can lift. Aside from me.

Im using a 5X5 program now. 5 Sets of 5 reps at 80% of my 1 rep max. Trying to get more bulk to burn the fat faster. My chest is really blowing up now. I just wish the moobies would start to shrink. Lol for those who done know     Moobie= Man boobs. All fat guys are cursed with them. But all in due time.

Im having problems with my right elbow. 2 years ago while i was laying down on the bed. My Ex sat on the bed and laid back acrost my arm. I heard a little pop noise and thought nothing of it. Now two years later im having SERIOUS problems with it. I cant do any sort of curl motion without EXTREME agony. Just lifting my arm with no weights causes me pain. Im pretty sure its going to need surgery to fix it. Its so bad that Just doing curls with a 25 lb dumbell is almost killing me. What sucks the most is my Arms used to be my best Bodypart. I guess its goodbye to 22.5" arms now. At least till i can get it fixed. Granted it can even be fixed. Oh well.

Well all,

The hard work is paying off. Im 42 lbs lighter and down to 28.6% Bodyfat. I started at 42% BF and weighed 332 lbs. I have lost about 5.5 inches off of my waist. I know i still have a long way to go. And im not giving up. EVER. Every week that go’s past brings me one week closer to my goal. My chest is MUCH thicker. Almost an inch thick at the sternum Connection. MY arms are starting to get that Bulge back. I never thoght i would say this but im getting iritated with buying SMALLER cloths that i know i wont fit in a month. Im a VERY happy man. PEople are actually telling me " DAMN dude, you have lost a LOT of weight." I just say gimme six more months then i quietly smile. Thanks for all the motivation guys and gals.
