Hey guys,

I had a bodyfat test done today, as Ive gained 12 pounds over the last 3 months, the results? 8 pounds of muscle using HD exclusivly since that time. Now, that is a huge acomplishment, considering Ive been eating like crap and almost no activity outside the workouts. Now, my focus will be on cutting, as I will start tomarrow(fri.) witha reduced calorie diet.

Interesting note, the trainer at the gym only commented on the fat gain, saying that the Mentzer hit was making me fat, and I needed to train with high reps. I′ll post pics when I reach peak condition, 240 lbs, in about 3 months. Im 280 now, but I tend to drop BF very quickly.

Man, this stuff is amazing.

LOL. That′s hillarious about him only concentration on the fat. AWESOME JOB! 8 pounds of muscle in 3 months is fantastic! I also laugh at brainwashed volume trainers. There ARE some volume trainers who are logical, but they are rare (including volume trainers)…

Again, excellent job!

Thanks for your kind words. I was like, hey, 8 pounds of muscle, with 4 pounds of fat. Do you really think there is no validity in this? He was like, "Well, the whole point of BBing is getting cut and big."

I saw his point, but in his competitive days, he used AAS to blow up right before the show, and he never made it past 225, so I think he is a little jealose.

That is great dude, good job! Awesome gains! Your one big dude too! 280? Dang!

Hey Analyzer,

There goes those darn genetics again… LOL.

Hey smanjh,

I greatly respect your kindness and respectful nature, even though you outweigh the most of us by a tremendous amount. There aren′t many guys your size, but the majority of them that I′ve spoken to, think they are so much better than everyone else and look down upon small ectomorphs like myself. I just wanted to let you know I think your attitute is something you should be just as proud, if not more proud, of than even your muscle mass. Mike himself would be very proud of you, and from what I′ve read about his personality, you seem pretty similar in kindness and respect. Just thought you should know.
