Depends on what you consider lean. Was I stage ready lean...NO WAY IN HECK! Was I fat...nope. When I was at 268 in 2003 I could still see my abs if I tightened them really hard. Well, anyway, right now I am about 245 and holding about 8% bodyfat. We will see what weight I can hit the stage at soon.

How did you get so big & lean at your 5ft11 height? At what age did you start training?

aztecwolf · 06-08-2004, 11:20 PM

i'm 5'11 and you got a damn near 85 lbs. on me.

Randy · 06-08-2004, 11:22 PM

I just ate 3 pigs and I'm 6'1" and 235lbs.

Are you talking to me or Gopro? Gopro is the one who is 5ft11 & was around 270lbs with definition & is now 245lbs with even more definition.

I am currently about 210lbs & regaining my condition very quickly now for some reason at a height of about 5ft10.

I assume you're joking? B/c pigs are full of fat. It's like porkchops, & ham, & bacon. Just disgusting & full of fat. I never eat them.

He's been training for something like 14 years.

Despite what people may think, I was once skinny as skinny could get...5' 11" and 125 lbs. with little to no muscle at all! My genetics are pretty crappy really, except for a decent body structure (in terms of symmetry).

How did I get as big as I am? I busted my ass day in and day out for many many years and used a very careful, scientific, well thought out approach to training, diet and supplementation. Some things that I do I still have never revealed to anybody 100%. (That may be saved for a book in the future).

But if I could reveal the biggest reason for my success, it would have to be the 3 D's and a C...dedication, desire, discipline, and consistency!

4 d's You forgot Diet

Well, the DIET is all part of the dedication, desire, and discipline. You must...

DEDICATE yourself to eating right.

DESIRE to eat right.

Have the DISCIPLINE to eat right.

Randy · 06-09-2004, 03:48 PM

Ok Gopro, you have me there

But now can you use those 3 d's to motivate yourself to read my document?

Amazing to me that everyone is so quick to say "genetically gifted." I think a much more accurate statement would be to say someone is "dedicationally gifted."

Well it's good you had the overall symmetry.

Well hard work will pay off. This is no criticism at all, I'm just curious but what you say you've done & still do you've never %100 revealed to anyone? Could it possibly been in the anabolic category? Again no criticism I'm just curious as you know I've been tempted many times to use them & already know some of your thoughts about them.

I just got my bodyfat tested using the "Body Dynamics" machine. They put these little alligator clips on these stickers (strodes?) on 4 places on your body. Can anyone vouch for its accuracy? Gopro? It said I was at 3% bodyfat, and he conducted the test 3 times with the same results.

"Dedicationally gifted." I like that...and really, that describes how I am to a tee.

Well, you can judge for yourself. Look at a bodybuilding magazine and find a picture of an IFBB pro in contest shape. If you are as ripped, vascular, and striated as he is, then you could be 3%.

Basically, I'm saying this is quite doubtful. I have been as low as 3.5% as tested by calipers and I was so ripped you could almost watch my pancreas secreting insulin!

That sure would be useful. Uh oh, too much insulin, quick eat some fiber!

I've not used the electrical method for BF testing but I haven't heard good things about it. My wife has a metal rod in her back and swears that it throws the reading off.

The MOST important thing to me is my shape, proportion, and symmetry. I strive for a look along the lines of a Flex Wheeler and NOT a Marcus Ruhl (as amazing as he is).

No, I was NOT referring to anabolics at all when I made that comment. You and I have discussed my thoughts about steroids in PMs and you know I'm against them (for me personally). In fact, even when it comes to prohormones I have not used very much...far less than many many other people on this board. What I WAS referring to was certain training techniques, nutritional strategies, and supplementation protocols.

What was I speaking about here is very simple really...you need to have incredible desire, dedication, and discipline to make radical changes in your physique...and you must be consistent...eating and training every day, every week, every year...to reach your goals.

Johnnny · 06-10-2004, 09:25 AM

Gopro

I completly agree with you on how importan shape is. But size is important as having shape at 150lbs compared to 210 or more lbs isn't comparable.

I still think you have to have good size muscle before you start cutting. If you have no muscle to cut, one would be really small & skinny.

Funny you mentioned Markus Rhul. Did I ever tell you I got to meet him & talk to him for about 5 mins in 2001 in Toronto at that gym I went to?

He is very huge with very good condition but not like Flex Wheeler
