:mad: So I did some research and found out I've been wasting A LOT of time. I am not new to the health circle. A former college athlete, I understand the importance of proper nutrition. It is fun to play with macro's and numbers to change you body. I played college baseball so I pretty much had an odd shaped body (Big legs, flexible upper body) so, when I finished I because determines to redefine my body. Well, a year and a half later- I have reportioned my body. I still am an avid softball/baseball player so I try and maintain as much flexibility as I can, so my shoulders and chest are somewhat lacking, but I am in the process of gaining as much lean muscle as I can. I just lost 15 lbs and am in a very clean bulk. I should hopefully gain about ten lbs, and hopefully 5 good pounds of muscle. Only time will tell- and I just wanted to say hello to everybody! I am also apart of bb.com (fellow misc'er here) and will bring fresh topics and most importantly encouragement & new recipe's to the boards. Glad to be here

G'day

    Oh trust me, best advice I've ever gotten is gettin too cocky with my own self. “Arrogance diminishes wisdom” So, I try to help people through all the situations i've found myself and continually find myself in everyday. Everybody is human, and some people have it easier than others. While I may be more knowledgeable than some, I still lack discipline of carrying out my own plan, so I try to remain as consistent and accountable to not only myself, but everyone around me. The forums just help me stay clued into what I am trying to accomplish.

    Winners will always surround themselves with other winners! I love this site already! I've only been on for one hour!!!

    haha- I am an avid Biggest Loser watcher. But say- isn't the show on Tuesdays? Lol- I weigh in on tuesdays with them too! I just love competing! I was really ticked though that Dan got the Axe. But he looked really good and I will be looking to see his massive transformation after the show!

    If Bob can deliver another stellar performance like the one he did on Joelle, then the season should finish out to be one of the best yet! lol!!!

    Welcome to the site, you've already been giving such great insight, thanks!!!!

    I was sad about Dan getting the axe too...but his partner....OMG...what a dork!!! Sorry, but he was NOT doign his part to be a supportive teammate. I just could not do that to someone I care about, I'd still be in it 150% trying to make sure we went all the way to the end together. Ya know? It's nice to see Joelle might be FINALLY seeing the light??? I hope so, for her partner's sake.

    Book site, say huh? go to: http://forums.bodybuilding.com MISC section. Were just rowdy and irritating to new comers. I have grown out of my disrespectful ways and am trying to use the knowledge I got over there and bring it into perspective for people who could use it!

    Welcome to the site man! we are glad to have you. Always nice to have another guy around. Your BB experience will come in handy. for instance, I am trying to get some more definition now that the weight has been dropping. as far as the upper body is conceerned I have some decent arms but nothing to speak of in the chest area. Want to build that up a bit. Any recommendations? I have access to a gym. lol Thanks man :drinker:

    LOL O rly, PIITB, spoon pic, etc.

    I left BB.com because I was frustrated with all the misinformation, fad dieting, and pro-BB worship. No one really knew anything about sports nutrition but for a select few, and they were almost never there. I'm not a fan of the BB.com forums. The misc was fun at first but by the time I left it had morphed into something like a KKK meeting.
