Ok so keeping my fingers crossed that i dont re-injure myself but the doc gave me the green light so here it goes.

Stats: 26, 5'10", 266lbs, 25%BF
BMR: 2200
Diet ratio 55%protien/25% carb/20%fat

lifting 45mins a day x4 days a week. Cardio x2 a day 4 days a week (20 rounds on the heavy bag, 5 rounds on the speed bag-morning) and (Elliptical x25mins, bike 20 mins-afternoon). Gonna try to get some rounds on the pads and light road work in too.

Going to order Thermorexin,Glucorell and Sesapure this week for supps. I'll post my diet for the day 2marrow.

Goals are to drop some serious BF, cutt up and a find comfortable weight to fight at. My weight goal for the time being is 220lbs, but we'll see how i feel when i get there. Wish me luck~

220 is ideal, with that much cardio and a clean diet.

I see no problem with you reaching your goal, if you stick with it.

Good luck.

So after reading JPT's log i figured i would follow his example and open my doors up some so whoever reads this see the method behind the madness.

1st of all i come from a large italian family, large as in number and large as in size lol. Its my grandma's and mothers cooking i tell you. Every meal is like a holiday feast! I had struggled with being a fat kid all my life untill the age of 15. I was toremented and fucked with for many years. When i hit 15 (puberty lol) my child fat dropped and i was a solid 200lbs. Needless to say i got fucked with less, that and i started boxing at that age too. From 15-17 i lifted hard and my junior year i was 5'10, 245lbs solid and maxing 415lbs on bench.

me my sophmore year:http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k303/tornetta98/1063494616_l.jpg

A summer later of lifting hard and 16 week cycle of test, this was me my junior year

This is me now, i dont have the ballz or security to show the ones i took with my shirt off. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k303/tornetta98/anth.jpg

Thinking back then, even in the best shape of my life i thought i was a fat ass, would kill to have that body again. My senior year i went to a party and tried crystal meth with some friends, the following 3 years is still to this day a blur. 1 day i woke up and new it was time to leave that life behind and overnight i packed my shit and left the state.

I started lifting again and trying to re coupe the damage the drugs did to my body. To make a long story short i got my life back together met my wife and 3 years later she gave birth to our son. In the 9 months she was prego she gained a total of 20lbs, i on the other hand gained 60!! Explain to me how that shit happend lol.

These days my life has been very blessed for the most part! I have a great career, a beautiful wife who i'm madly in luv with, and little boy who is my rock. But regardless of the money and the relationship i have with my family i look in the mirror every morning and hate what i see. That can fuck with yer head day after day!

A few months ago i started training again and was on the right track but i tore my LCL during my MMA training. So now i am healed and on a mission to give my body an extreme make over. My goal is to be able to look in the mirror and be happy with what i see. I refuse to be a out of shape husband and father, this is what drives me. Thanks for reading my short novel~

first off congrats brutha on kicking the bad habits and embracing your new life...sounds like you have a lot to live for!!! if you were in that good a shape back then it will come back with some hard work and smart training!!! muscle memory is resilient!

diet looks good....what are the macros??
only thin i would suggest is after cardio cram in some protein...leave out the carbs as it impedes the fat burning process...esp if your doing HIIT. after training of course you need carbs...but im a believer in just protein after cardio....and then an hour later protein plus carbs

go to fitday.com and plug them in

Hey Maff, you don't know me and I don't mean to go all Dr. Phil on your ass but I think you should sit down and examine why you hate what you see in the mirror. Now if somebody puts on 60 lbs in a short amount of time, chances are they are going to be disappointed and feel the urge to tighten it back up again for both health and cosmetic purposes. But it sounds like you have pure disgust and hatred for what you see in the mirror that goes beyond cosmetic and health reasons.

I quoted your text above because I think it speaks volumes. It sounds to me like for as long as you can remember, you got 'fucked with' and it probably crushed your self-esteem and self-assurance. It rocked your perception of yourself and at the worst possible time; grade-school, when your paradigm and views are all being solidified and molded. So you came to the conclusion: "They are teasing me because I'm fat. Therefore being fat is bad. If I get big and cut they won't tease me anymore." Sure enough, you leaned up and the torture slowed down or ceased.

So you deduced from your experience: "Being fat = bad and I won't be accepted. Being in shape = good." Your answer to your problems was to do whatever it takes to stay in shape. If you looked into the mirror and you weren't in shape, you hated yourself because it was a reflection of all of the fucked up things people did (and might do) to you when you were out of shape in the past.

Whether you're overweight, or skinny, or rippped you should be able to look into the mirror and accept yourself. Maybe not love your appearance or be satisfied with the way you look, but able to ACCEPT yourself. Positive change is always good but there should never be hatred or disgust. You have a lot of great things going for you now; a wife and a beautiful child. You should be able to look at yourself and be proud of the great things you've accomplished along the way, instead of harping on the mistakes you've made, or the miserable experiences you've endured.

Get ripped and strong because you love the journey, not because you feel like you have to. You've got a lot more to live for now than a six pack.
