I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Am I just starting if I've done this for 8 months? Or would the fast gains have gone away by now?

they would have gone away by now... surely you werent making such gains all along. Perhaps you weren't eating enough earlier on, and now you're gaining becuase you're eating properly.

I seriously doubt you've gained 64 pounds in eight months. Originally Posted by ihateschoolmt
