Lol, nah, that was 'we're in the same club' liking. It makes me think of this thing Louie CK said in a stand-up after his divorce. He basically was like "Do you see this? This wasn't ready to go on the market." He was referring to how we kind of keep ourselves up as part of 'hunt' when you're single, but then once you get someone and get comfortable, we just quit caring. Mission accomplished, lol.

Yup, once I got married and we started popping out the little ones along with school, I just either didn't have time, or didn't feel like making it. It just sucks b/c it's a lot easier to maintain then it is to lose and build back up.

I'm 28 now man, so yeah, you're right on... I was around 17 in those pics IIRC. Thank God I took them so I have proof, lol. My problem is, back then, it felt like I just woke up one day and looked like that. Truth was, I was almost OCD about working out. Every night before I'd go to bed, I did variations of pushups, situps, crunches, back exercises, etc. Everything I did was bodyweight except for curls with 20 lbs. dumbells. Even crazier, is I had no idea what sets were back then. When I had weightlifting in school, I just did what I wanted to do and ignored the ideal way of doing it. When I worked out each night, I did 1 set of reps until failure for each exercise. I was around 150-155 lbs. in those pics. In hindsight, I remember being "skinny fat" around 14 or so, and I started doing that routine I came up with on a nightly basis. So, it didn't just happen overnight, although it felt like it. I was also playing basketball everyday for cardio, which made a huge difference in staying lean. I feel like and even felt like back then, that I know what it takes to get someone from lean to cut, but my problem is, once I let myself go, I had no idea how to get from out-of-shape/fat to lean again. I think with my body type though, I should be able to easily get back to that physique once I lean down.

That was my other huge problem man. Once I started sitting at home and not working out, I drank sodas like water. I could go through a 12 pack in 2 days by myself. That was my main problem. Now, I'm drinking about 12 cups+ of water a day but I have to piss about every 5 minutes, lol.

lol,I actually ate A LOT psc, I just burned it all off. Then I went into Bojangles mode and quit doing everything physical. So, in that sense, I guess I'm lucky to not be even worse off than 188 and 25% BF.

But, just for kicks... This is why I get so discouraged when start a workout and look in the mirror now... This was my prime and about 15% body fat ago, lol: But, I guess now I should use it as my motivation instead of my source of depression, lol. I just want to get back there ASAP.

I pulled my groin during Insanity stretches during my 2nd week two weeks ago. So, I took a week off and figured I'd start the 2nd week back this week. I've yet to start it back, but plan on doing so tonight. Also, I finally joined the bodybuilding.com forums for some additional advice and it's really helped me to break down things and look at the macro, rather than the micro. I've gotten so caught up in the details that I get discouraged after a week or two and have to realize it's a process to transform back to where I was. So, I figure if I can lose 3% body fat a month, I'll close to my target in 3-4 months.

I'm not your bro. I don't comment on your every single post. Grow up. You're doing a lot for your credibility right now. I'm sure professionals who take themselves seriously lash out at their critics by using their pics on an internet site as revenge. Yeah, you're an insider. I know you wish you had a real life, but hiding behind your keyboard is so much safer and hides all your weaknesses... You can pretend you're someone you're not. Awesome. But, leave me out of it. This is the last time I'm telling you.

You talking about the reported amount he was given? Yeah, I lol'd that... Because it wasn't that steep IMO, especially if he was our #1 target, that was a reasonable price. I don't think I would've given him 6 years though.
