210 - 155 sounds like incredibly unhealthy weightloss considering healthy weight loss is 1 pound a week

Not really, I've lost around 5-7 pounds the first week.. But like I said, that was a huge drop... From eating McDonalds every 2 days to not eating any fat at all and lowering your portions all at once made a huge impact




Actually no ! It makes me kind of sad.. I was like after two weeks "ah damn forgot to do a before/after, well too late" <-- I REGRET THAT

Just bought this two weeks ago because I felt like doing pull-ups:




I love the thing.

I actually have some photos.. Of course no topless one haha :\

I was at around 200 lbs at that time: (don't mind the gay pose, me and my friend were publicly trolling)



And this picture I'm around 155:



Pretty much can't see anything but yeah lol




How much did you pay for it

$90. Found a good spot for it in the corner of my living room, so everytime when I sit on my couch watching tv I see it and instead of sitting down I do a few excercises first. Works out great so far. Money well spent

Good thing to do.. I used to do some.. Could do around 10 or so

Whattup gang.

Figured I'd give a quick update seeing how I've posted my pictures in this thread before. Basically I dropped from ~240 to ~170. Now I'm bulking (AKA trying to build strength/muscle) and I'm around 180. Bulking to 185 then cutting back down for summer. Currently these are the improvements to my weight lifts:

Bench: Start 95x3, Now: 170x3
Squat: Start: 155x5, Now: 225x8
OHP: Start: 50x5, Now: 100x5
Deadlift: Start: 125x5, Now: 225x5

If anyone has any questions on weight loss, healthy eating, etc. I can help you out. Been through it personally and would love to give others some basic advice to help them.

My main problem is nutrition. Im about 170 right now and I need to work on my gut.

What do you guys do for lunch when you work mon - fri?

I bring my lunch.

Usually on Sunday I'll cook up about 7 Chicken breasts as well as some vegetables and potatoes all cooked in the oven. Then I bring that to work for the entire week.

If I'm not feeling that I'll make myself a huge pot of meat sauce for the week (with plenty of veggies in it) and eat it with whole wheat pasta or wild rice.

Edit: If you guys need help with specific recipes or how to make things easier let me know. I work about a 50 hour work week and most nights when I get home cooking is the last thing on my mind. Plus I'm at the gym 4-6 times a week.

Managed to go on a 1 week cruise and not gain any weight...


I consider this a massive accomplishment. Went nuts in the Gym when I was there I guess it paid off.

Going back to my regular routine now. Feel like I have much more energy overall, well worth it.
