Heavy lifting may be the best idea ever.

I'm so thrilled with these results I had to post it on a main board as well as the NROL4W board...

I'm 5'8" and I started at 240 in May 2012

I was doing cardio and low cal (1400 net/day) and hit a major plateau around 215 in August.

Obviously I wasn't okay with that...
Me in January:

Around January when I reduced even more (most days between 900 and 1200), but it wasn't sustainable. I was around 208 when I started NROL4W at the end of March. I'm still in stage 1 (just finished my first 10 rep workout), but I've already noticed a huge difference.

Here are my New Rules stats and photo results.
