Sup Assy McGee?


No sir! You better not do it. Here's a scenario. You're getting ready for the gym and you have your protein shake in hand, your iPod is full of workout tunes and your bottled water is ice cold. Now you take a look in the mirror, and you are wearing the same damn shorts that are displayed in the above picture... with a tank top. I don't mind females wearing this to the gym but I really do not want a set of balls attacking my visuals while you are on the ab machine. Its just not kosher brotha. Next time, let's try some basketball shorts or even some sweat pants. Anything that exposes the least amount of ass crackage will do. I'm sorry if I offended any spandex wearers but I had to get that off of my chest. Even if I was the swolest man on earth, I still couldn't bring myself to wear some spandex daisy dukes.

Now to the workout. I missed posting yesterday's workout and unfortunately it will have to wait once again. My notebook is in the car but luckily I brought my chest workout in. Here goes:


My chest was shot after the Smith Incline Presses. Ill have to do those more and thanks to AT (honorary member of the GSC) for pushing me. One.

Starbust: Juicy Goodness


There's nothing wrong with a cheat meal every once in a while. You get tired of eating chicken that taste like water because you're scared that a little seasoning will make you fat. Or how about that good ole (weak ass) salad that you eat everyday that leaves you hungry as hell five minutes after consuming it? See, this is the main reason that I "do it big" when I have my cheat meal. I can't even call it a cheat meal, its a whole cheat day.

My last week's cheat day consisted of some grilled chicken breast for breakfast, seven fried chicken tenders with a buttery roll for lunch and a large supreme pizza from Pizza Hut for dinner. No left overs homey.

Yeah, I might have felt bad after eating all that but if I eat healthy for twenty-six days out of the month, I should be able to enjoy four days of gluttony.

So let's talk about one of my workout buddies. The other day he IM'ed me (instant messaged for the slow ones) and told me that he cheated on his diet a little. Being fairly more cut than him, I was already concerned about his lack of striations, so I asked him what he had. Wait for it..... A STARBURST! Woaaaah nelly, dont go all out there buddy. He watches his diet like a hawk. I don't want to do it but if it takes that to get down to 8% body fat, I guess I will have no choice.

Oh yeah, I will post yesterday's workout later tonight. Gyeahhh.

If I Didn't Have Legs, I'd Do Chest All Day

Unfortunately, I do have legs. :( I swear that this is the worse part of the week for me. The dreaded Tuesdays. Its already bad enough that my legs look like they belong on Webster, but I am also working out with someone who's body sits on tree trunks. Donald, I know you're laughing at this right now but its true.

Well, without further ado, let's get on to the workout!


I had plans to do abs and a little cardio, but nope, didn't happen. On my way home my legs were doing the Harlem Shake while I was driving. What's the Harlem Shake you ask, youtube it because I am too tired and going to sleep. Night. :)

Mr. Fatty McLargeHuge

I stuffed my face this weekend. Starting Monday, I plan to follow a high protein/low carb diet and see how that works for me. I haven't had 6-pack abs since high school and I would love for them to return.

I actually went grocery shopping today and gathered a few items:

2 bags of frozen chicken tenderloins
2 packages of turkey bacon
1 box of Angus patties ($7 bucks for 6 patties is highway robbery)
16 Tilapia fillets
18 eggs
2 packages of pre-made salad
2 bags of broccoli and cauliflower :(
3 boxes of Velveeta shells and cheese (hey, they were on sale)

Unfortunately I am not a good cook (still learning) so whatever I eat for this week will most likely taste like cardboard. Hopefully George Foreman will help me out and do most of the work.

My friend that encouraged me to work out told me about a site that tracks your diet. He's been using it for a few months and gave it a good review so I'll be trying it also. The site's address is http://www.thedailyplate.com/ . I'll throw up a review after a couple of weeks of use.

One more thing before I go to bed. I really need to work on my back! I can't have a decent looking chest and stomach with a Gary Coleman back. Time to get on it!

Shame About Them Gross Tittays

So I decided to create this blog for a couple of reasons. One reason being that it would be a great way to track my progress. I also hope that this blog will give others motivations to workout. I have been there and I know how hard it is to stay consistent. The thing is, with consistency, you will easily see gains. Oh yeah, I am no doctor, fitness trainer, nutritionist or anything like that. I am just here to show my transformation so if anyone out there sees that I am doing something wrong or think that I can improve, let me know!

Enough of the chatter and lets get to the pictures. I started working out in March 3, 2007. Here is the first picture :(


Awww man. Its a shame about them gross tittays. This comes after late night meals, sedentary activities such as computer games and TV watching and doing NOTHING. I had to do something so I joined a gym. After eating right and working out 5-6 days a week, I saw some progress.



This of course was last year and as quick as I decided to work out, I fell off and stopped working out. Lets fast forward to June of this year. I am BACK ON IT! This time I am motivated and have a lot of help from one of my closest friends.

I am getting a little tired so here is a side by side picture of my progress. Once I get some sleep, I will post my diet and workout day by day.
