Yo guys, I just wanted to see out there in this Smogon word if any one bodybuilds and goes to the gym to destroy their body. To me, it's become a hobby, a hobby over any hobby that I have. Alot of people ask me how bodybuilding can be a hobby. Well, to me, a hobby is something you enjoy and put forth money and effort into your investment. My investment is myself.

I started to get very heavy back in March of 2013 after studying and studying for my state boards and after finishing up with college. All I would do is drink monster after monster for that studying focus and just some energy, and I never really had a set eating habit; I would just eat when I was hungry, and that was usually all the time (lol). So, when I finally stepped on a scale in March, I was a hefty 231 lbs at 5'10". I was pretty big to say the least. It was then I knew I needed to change everything in my life.

I majored in Radiologic Sciences and minored in Biologicial Sciences and Nutrion in college acquiring my Bachelor's degree in science. I've taken various nutrition courses, so I knew how to break everything down and I knew where to start. It was just the starting problem that I was dealing with.

I stareted to eat small meals every 2-3 hours, and complex carbs early in the day before my workouts. I did this natural diet for a month and I finally got used to it. I was starving at first because my body didn't know how to handle being hungry and not having food until my 2-3 hour period had come to finally eat.

I started out at:

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 231 lbs
Body Fat: 25%
I am now (7 months later):

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 178 lbs
Body Fat: 10%
I am in the progress of becoming a personal trainer being certified by the NASM (National Academny of Sports Medicine). I am well adversed in nutrional and supplementation all te way down to the chemical level of the certain supplements and hormone interactions. Please feel free to ask me anything you have a question about. I want to help anyone else that is looking to get into shape or just eat right. I will be competing soon in body building competitions. I will write up my plan down below.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not take steroids or unnatural supplements, please do not ask me about them. I take natural supplements such as proteins and multivitamins.

RULES: Please be respectful to others posting. I want this thread to be a very motivating and positive thread.

If anyone has a bodybuilding.com account, feel free to friend request me. This is my page:

We have the 'Do You Even Lift' thread directly beneath this; this sort of thing should go in there.

I am currently 201lbs

You've also linked to the default bodybuilding.com page as opposed to your own personal page. It simply sends me to my own page when I click it.

Should the powers that be decide to leave this open then I'd be happy to discuss bodybuilding further with you. If not, go to the Do You Even Lift thread and there are a handful of us in there. I'm sure we could learn a lot from you; I'm rather looking forward to it. Welcome!

For posterity...5'7...180lbs...7%bf.
