A long time ago, in a city not so far away, I grew up a “healthy” individual.\u00a0 By “healthy,” I mean I had a more than healthy appetite, and had some of the most unhealthy habits imaginable.\u00a0 I would sometimes wonder why it was I was overweight, but this was usually pondered over a 2800 calorie meal with an alcoholic beverage on the side.<\/p>\n

And then, I watched Rocky Balboa<\/a>, and that changed everything–\u00a0 I had decided that, if Sylvester Stallone could get into shape, I can too!\u00a0 After getting in shape through a combination of extreme caloric restriction and exercise, I would eventually gain all of the weight back.\u00a0 Uncomfortable at 6 feet tall, 235 pounds, and (at the time) recently unemployed, I decided to permanently change my life.\u00a0 I began working out 6 days a week, and at this point in my life (2.25 years ago), had no idea about proper nutrition or training habits.\u00a0 With no regard to my LBM (Lean Body Mass, a.k.a. Muscle), I began the unhealthy process of only eating 1500 calories a day while working out for more than an hour a day.\u00a0 Through this less than healthy process, I was able to lose enough weight to get to a physique I was more comfortable with, and which I felt would do better for me in my future career in Hollywood.\u00a0 Weighing a light 175, I eventually began an attempt at building muscle mass while still eating and training at a caloric deficit–\u00a0 This was to no avail.\u00a0 Over time, I amassed more knowledge and became healthier, but I was still far too slender.\u00a0 While I will spare all of the minute details, we came to a point where I was 167 pounds, and only 8% body fat.\u00a0 I was happy with the way I looked, but not happy enough. . .<\/p>\n

And that is where bodybuilding entered the picture for me.\u00a0 Currently at 180 and about to start my next bulk, I have studied health and fitness to the point of expertise, and would love to impart this knowledge on anyone wishing to learn.\u00a0 I have come a long way, and will attain the statuesque physique that I have been chasing.<\/p>\n
