I vouch this, aside from one thing~ Krav Maga has no purpose whatsoever, the dumbed down version that is taught in America is nothing compared to what it is in Israel. But the rest is totally awesomeness coming from a 7-0 record fighting at 2 weights before a heart surgery at 20 years old.

(Did expect the cutting weight to be cutting for a fight or tournament, i'd change that to dieting down)

First off, I never recommend smoking. Three months and losing nearly 90 lbs? That seems unheard of. I suppose it can make sense because you deprived yourself of the nutrients and calories for those 3 months. People have also died to playing computer games to the extreme from starvation/dehydration. There are better ways to lose the weight but you have to keep one thing in mind and that is to keep your body healthy and your metabolism at a constant. What is your diet currently like? We could possibly modify something here.

Thank you for your supportive comment about my service, I really appreciate that



Thanks Mythee, although I have to disagree that Krav Maga taught in the U.S. did have its plus side. I cannot contest that it is as rigorous as the actual style taught in the Israeli army. I wouldn't mind giving that a try though, regardless if I couldn't make it through a training session. 7-0 is an impressive record. It's unfortunate to hear about your shortcoming to your MMA career. I've never fought in a ring but I have sparred and trained with many people of various skills and sizes. I do prefer to stay around the Welterweight class of course. However, I do plan to get down to Lightweight (155 lbs) and stay there a bit. The cardio for me, I feel is better at this weight and the speed is very good for me. My brother-in-law trains in Tae Kwon Do and we often spar, so it is nice to get different variations of skills and trying to counter their abilities with yours.

Juggalo's in this thread now? Oh boy...

To stay on topic, I am tall and slenderman. This is my build. How do I add up a few pounds without losing my athletic build?

do you have any video's of your lifts?

Can I get a real answer please?

My current diet would make you want to slap me. In the pass hour I have eaten 4 large glazed donuts.. When I lost the weight, I never intended to, I was active while heavy, and skated and chased after girls and what not, then for whatever reason I became a homebody and the pounds just shed off. I was deprived at times, but at other times I gourged myself in fatty foods and beverages.

My main problem is motivation, and I'm not sure where to find that at.

Again, this is because of depriving yourself of an actual meal. Sitting at the computer and snacking on poor choices of foods can have an opposite effect, although still not a good one (it varies on how much you eat of course), this has happened to me before when I would spend many hours playing PC games/console games in my high school days without really eating much except for chips, cookies, etc. The calories do add up, but it's also how healthy you want to be as I don't recommend that diet. For your overall health, I suggest you should implement a work out routine at least three times a week, just so you can keep healthy. Limit those foods to once a week at the most...or once every other week!



Tall and slender. Okay, this wouldn't be too difficult. It is the matter of increasing your calorie amount and possibly implementing heavy lifting routines along with creatine, mass gainer, and high synthesis protein mix. I need a bit more info such as actual height and weight, current work out routines, and diet. To gain weight effectively and have it in muscular proportion, I recommend 1.5 x your body weight worth of grams in protein as a maximum. Your caloric intake daily for this should be about 4,000 if you want to gain weight gradually. I more so focus on weight loss, but from my muscle gaining experience and lifting days, I can help you with this also. I just need to know that previous info I asked as well as your current goal as well of how much weight you would want to gain in how much time.



Unfortunately I have no videos, but I have a few photos I'd have to dig up from somewhere. Not the best photos, and I don't have one of me bench pressing 535 lbs either.



Coming soon...
