I know, I'm just giving you shlt.

I had a Sgt that was a former AF para and he was hardcore. He was also the guy that got me started lifting...

I'll leave Renegaze to back me on this one.

Consider yourself backed. Pararescue, combat controllers - not typical AF. Neither are the Security Forces. We often refer to those 3 or 4 career fields in the AF as the military branch of the AF.......the rest are just guys who wear the same uniform.

However, joking aside, with the deployment rates of the last 8 years - the military is purple now - all blended together and very joint. At least where I work.

Anticor - I hear ya on the priorities thing.......but I'll admit while my education and career progression are #1 for me, I 'could' be much more dedicated to the health & wellness parts of my life. I take shortcuts and they show up in the mirror. I know that - and only I can fix it. The 80% thing was accurate for me. Life is a series of choices. Choosing to have a cheese steak rather than the spinach salad or choosing to do one more set, or go outside and do sprints after legs, etc., etc. I'm not preaching - I'm a violator..............

I dont mean to clutter up your journal bro....
But for me lifting is not a hobby, it's part of my life...
And when I train, it's balls out, I do not make excuses.

BUT there are 2 aspects to training

1.) What you are putting on the bar
2.) What you putting into your belly

And honestly, I think #2 is about 70% of the success ratio.
If you want to see serious changes, first make changes in the kitchen.

So am I any less dedicated than the next guy?
If you came and lifted with me for a day, you wouldnt even utter the thought, but if you ate with me you would say yes. So with my own opinion that the game is 70% diet, I guess I am a fool to spin my wheels with 100% of my motivation to training and very little to the kitchen.

My problems

* Skipping breakfast when on the run
* Sugary drinks
* Meal timing

Gaze I tried to rep you for owning that. It won't let me. Fkn site. lol

And all you fkrs should be repping Harlet for what he's done. I can't rep him anymore at this time either.

[TheHorseman]

Guys, I'm in no way insinuating that training in itself doesn't take discipline, because it does. Moving heavy objects isn't easy, whether you're doing sh!t right or optimal or whatever. But a lot of you guys have been around here with me since like 2003. Seriously, you fkrs are stronger than that and I know that you could take over the mental part (nutrition).

Of course, if any of you homos are driving through SA, you know you gots a place to stay. I even let Merk crash twice. Hank basically lives with me.

No I know what you mean bro, no need to defend your statements, they are truthful.

And here I sit and watch this tidal wave of people around me, both on the net and in real life, who have made vast changes to their physiques by leaning out and dropping BF. Just here at BB4U, I can name a few....

Aaron (TKG)
Boyd (TheHorseman)
Mitchcumstein
BigNate

I know I can do it too.
I have to find a way to harness the same energy and motivation that I put into lifting and put it into my diet.
I just need to tackle the diet and kill the beast once and for all, cut his fvcking head off and hold it high for all to see that I killed the beast, that I conquered him...

LOL apparently it's easier said than done

I'd rep him but I can't either...fkn site. The two of you have both kicked some serious @ss.

[PhiSigPhi]

I'm assuming by saying Harlet, you mean TKG?

I always forget about repping! I need to do that more often. Many of you deserve rep from me from your support and a$$ kicking. Let the repping begin!

You have to find something to motivate you. Everyone is different and different things drive different people. For me, i like the added attention from women, so i guess im a bit of an attention whore, but maybe thats not you. If youre having trouble finding the motivation then enter an amateur BB contest. If you have something finite to shoot for then youre more likely to stick to the plan.

Sound advice

I dont have major goals, but I still have goals.
My goals are very simplistic....get big, get strong, dont have a gut...thats it

Repped accordingly!

we share the same motivation bro...but its hard to stay loyal to a girl when all the others want the baby arm..

It's a mental game. It's just you against you. Of course it's easier said than done; I have been leaning out for over a year and still have not reached my ultimate goal. A thing that helped me a lot was by setting small goals (like losing 10lbs) and WRITING them out on paper. I weigh in each week and try to aim for 2lbs a week. As you reach each goal, set another goal and they will add up.

I had a cancellation so now Im 45 minutes into an hour long cardio session.

Yes 100%.

I am sitting at 225 right now, but I will watch a UFC event with a 205'r or actually a solid 185'r and think to myself that if I could just melt the 20 to 30 lbs of pure fat off my body, perhaps I'd look like those guys... I have to rely on the pump of a workout to be able to expose anything of what I have, the rest of the time I look rather soft

May 15th, 2011?

To me staying loyal is just another issue of motivation.....motivation to not get divorced and kicked out on the street. lol

I want to do a show maybe sometime next year....

[Renegade68]

I can't rep any of you mutha flockers - I need more friends on this site than the same 6 guys. LOL.

Boyd - thanks. I'll see you in 2 weeks bro. Sad to say, I don't look much different than when out there in March, while you are a different person. Maybe that will help kick in the motivator? I'm a few pounds lighter, but not 40+ like you.

Same challenge happened tonight while driving home. I had been at work for 12 hrs, wife called said to pick something up to eat cause she wasn't cooking cause it was so late. I'm looking around and all I see is McD's, BK, Taco Bell, KFC, etc.

I thought of this thread and drove home, made a big ass salad. Thanks.
