Took six years of consistently lifting weights to go from 125 lbs to 205 lbs. A little stronger than the pic above, most recent:

lol with all that HGH i understand why you flipped so bad when you afk'd for 5 mins and the pearl kedge totem dropped

[SamwiseRed]

you do a custom regiment or standard shit? i tried that cross fit, it was tiring but I wasnt seeing much gain (I think its more for endurance anyway.) Got a copy of p90x but havent really looked at it.

haha yea man, it's just human nature though to get pissed when something like that happens....pretty sure the only time i flipped on Red was when Darwoth got me a couple times in CT, lol, in which case he took some SS's of me raging lol. I've been pretty cool most other times.

skorge keep it up, im 165 lb's atm shooting for 200 lb's within 5 years, been lifting for 5 years but just started taking it seriously the past 3 months, gained 5 lb's and lost 2% body fat over the past 3 months. You are an inspiration to us all

I created my own work-out that I've been doing. P90x will do for a cardio type of workout (every other day or so) but if you want to gain muscle you need to lift heavy. I recommend the 5 x 5 rule, lift 70-80% of your max for 5 sets of 5 reps. Example: Bench press 5 sets of 5 reps. You want to aim to where you can barely get the 5 in. This applies to heavy lifting exercises such as bench, squat, deadlift. For arms you can tone it down a bit as you won't see as much of a gain in arms at 5 x 5 plus it would be unrealistic to curl that much weight!

I used to be more shredded when I was 175 lbs but I've built more muscle since. My arms have increased an average of slightly over one full inch in the last three years! Right now I'm curling 5 sets of 25 at 80 lbs per arm (preacher curls).
