Thoughts on HGH?

370 is no joke - how big are you?

eh, its ok in general i guess. but fact of the matter is, you are more fit than me in that dept regardless since the ratio on your end is better. and 370 isnt really bad i guess. im proud of myself for it, but i seen small korean guys half my size put up more weight with more reps lol


im 6'2 and i weigh about 280. i will post a pic later to show you in general how my body is at its natural state, its cool anyways since that RL pic thread went to shit.


gimme about an hour or 2 since im heading off to LA fitness now lol

i never actually took supplements whenever i work out, i used to consider it a "temporary fix". but after seeing the success people had with it, i cant help but be curious about it. especially how fast some people are getting results in the gym that i used to go to. im maxing out at about 370 whenever i bench, but thats not really anything to be proud of since im naturally a big guy and now im focused on doing lesser weights/higher reps. but im now interested in including these shakes into my diet after talking with residue about it. i just cant find out which one is good for me lol. they have a TON of weight gain ones <_>; i dont need that shit lol. i used to pile up eggwhites so this is gonna be new for me. i gotta do some research and see how much protein i can fit in 1 glass.

its cool as hell to see BG peers all working for a similiar goal though. :D

Don't change your lifting, keep doing w\e rep range got you going to a 370 bench. all that less weight more reps shit is going to do is cause you to sweat some water weight off and lose strength.

good protein powders are like isopure and isolyze, but they're expensive because you're paying for the name. optimum nutrition has some decently priced stuff

I actually can't lift for shit now - training for this marathon has liquidated all my muscle - I couldn't even put up 225 a few weeks ago. I'm going to be a fucking stick by March, it sucks. I'm down to about 170 now and I'm sure I'll keep losing weight, but I know a bunch of it is muscle. Bleh.

marathon, why would you ever.

[archibaldcrane]

marathon, why would you ever.

Out of spite for marathoners who think they're doing something -soooo- amazing.

I hate running, it's awful.

Brb 8 miles.

[Tyche]

Soon, you'll be as skinny....

How do these fat bitches run marathons and still stay fat?

That's what I don't get. Yeah I know they're running 5:30 times, but still - how do you do even a moderate amount of training, and then slowly jog 26.2 miles, and still be all huge?

Shit doesn't make sense.

[Tyche]

I think I can safely say that I can't even begin to answer that question. I manage to keep a constant weight, no gain or loss.

[archibaldcrane]

Oh god. I usually run shirtless, but it was pretty chilly and the sun was setting.

After 8 miles, fuck my nipples hurt. Ow

special thanks to residue and a lot of other peeps on here who provided info


this is the most recent (ugly) pic i could get of me, arch. my friend took the pic and she was sitting on my bed i guess when she took it. i hate looking down. it makes my face look fat


anyways, this is me in natural form i guess. no flexing.

im no where near the lvl of the peers i ask for advice on here for, but i can still use lots of improvement. after FFXI left my life, i mustve gained like 70 lbs lol. luckily, weight is 10x easier to lose than it is to build muscle. so in about 1-2 months, i went from 340 to 280. my initial weight before than was 240, and i wore size 38 jeans. the pants i have on in the pic are SUPER baggy, but they are around 44 lol. so im assuming i might be 42 now? im 6'2, 280, and i know i got a belly still and love handles but my size 15 shoes make me look proportioned to my body still lol. im 22 so i still have a long way to go, but im on the right track

residue is my savior tho man. all the workouts i thought were meaningless turned out to be the shit i needed to do.:D


god what a terrible pic. i just got done workin out and my hair is a fuckin mess. im such a woman sometimes when it comes to lookin good for the camera. i guess i was just too exhausted to look good for my peers on BG lol

[archibaldcrane]

I knew it before...


...but the fact that you're a gigantic black dude is still just so fucking weird for me Richardd.

Anyway, that looks like a really good base to slim down/build up from.

im like rykoshet #2

but i can say the same thing about you. until i saw your pic, i thought of you as some tall big buff ladies man. i had no idea you were skinny like tyche haha (still tall tho). but i admire you guys for those marathons. i did one before a long time ago, so know the hard work that follows through it. gl with that shit homiez! and thanks for the compliment

[archibaldcrane]

Heh. Noone questions Ryko's blackness.

And I'm really about the most average height, average-built middle of the road white american dude ever. Not even close to Tyche-skinny thank god, although I do fear for my future...

Oh, and remember, I'm running this marathon out of spite. What I'm doing is not to be admired, I'm doing it so that I can say to all the marathoner assholes who think they are doing something to be admired "yeah - you ran a marathon, so fucking what? you're still a twat, shut up about your stupid marathon, running sucks cock."

This, been 155 for as long as I can remember.

Off Topic: What marathon are you running? Just did the Detroit Freepress Marathon and it was a goddamn torture. 3 people died..

Ah, I heard about that - you see I work in television, and what they didn't tell you was there is no "Detroit Freepress Marathon" - that was actually a reality show pilot for a new series on NBC in 2010 called "The Running Man".

Now see, that's the type of marathon I can get down with. People dying? Awesome. Marathon runners dying? Great, fuck those guys and their stupid marathons, serves them right.

On Off Topic: I'm running the LA Marathon at the end of march - it actually has a pretty cool course this year (instead of running a loop between downtown and koreatown - so miserable) - It runs from Dodger Stadium, along Sunset and then Hollywood Blvd through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, past UCLA, through Santa Monica to the ocean. http://www.lamarathon.com/event/course-map/

Basically my friends tricked me into it while I was sleeping. Long story.

[Gorki]

That sounds more like a Fox pilot

Ahhh LA marathon, I have former teammates going to that as well. Being tricked is okay, I got tricked into literally running for 9 years...

[Ghost_Wheel22]

Heh. Noone questions Ryko's blackness.

Holy shit Ryko's black?!

oops, I dunno how I managed to bump this, it was on the first page somehow, delete ploxx

Pricey, but it works and you get what you pay for. Make sure to get the supplement you require.
