you do a custom regiment or standard shit? i tried that cross fit, it was tiring but I wasnt seeing much gain (I think its more for endurance anyway.) Got a copy of p90x but havent really looked at it.

I created my own work-out that I've been doing. P90x will do for a cardio type of workout (every other day or so) but if you want to gain muscle you need to lift heavy. I recommend the 5 x 5 rule, lift 70-80% of your max for 5 sets of 5 reps. Example: Bench press 5 sets of 5 reps. You want to aim to where you can barely get the 5 in. This applies to heavy lifting exercises such as bench, squat, deadlift. For arms you can tone it down a bit as you won't see as much of a gain in arms at 5 x 5 plus it would be unrealistic to curl that much weight!

I used to be more shredded when I was 175 lbs but I've built more muscle since. My arms have increased an average of slightly over one full inch in the last three years! Right now I'm curling 5 sets of 25 at 80 lbs per arm (preacher curls).

Slightly paranoid about attaching all the rants and flames to a real face but here it is, the face behind all the biggest/major RMT'ing and QQ'ing:

Everyone rages sometimes though! The only rage on R99 I truly regret is telling Lamort(maybe saidin?) that I wished I had left my cat at the shelter to get gassed. Here's my cat though, check the hitler mustache:

Thank you man. It's taken a lot of hard work and dedication. About six years ago or so I would have NEVER told you I would have reached 200+ lbs. It's pretty crazy to see me now vs then. It just tells you that anything is possible if you work consistently at it. I thought about becoming a personal trainer full-time to help others but been so busy with other stuff. At your rate thought you will hit 200 in about 2-3 years max. I was 175 lbs about 2-2.5 years ago, not too far behind you. Just have to keep at it and keep pushing harder to see more of a gain. I started taking some creatine before and after my lift days and I think it's given me that little bit of a push...I would recommend looking into that, I buy mine cheap at Wal-Mart lol. The only other supplement I take is whey protein, and of course, protein bars. I've been eating a lot lately though. Eating is half the battle. Your body needs more calories and protein to maintain what you have been working on. Just be sure not to eat unhealthy.
