GSC Gym First

Today marks an important day in history. For the first time in the history of GSC, House wore a beater (tank top) to the gym. Someone alert the media! This is a CNN headline news topic. Congratulations fella. This historic day will be remembered by all. Our childern and our children's children will read about this event in their history books.

It was a long 3 months but I believe that everyone is satisfied with their changes.  We feel like super heroes in the never ending fight against obesity.  House is the Freedom Fat Fighter, I'm the Body Sculpturer and Transformer is our trusty sidekick like Robin.

Silence Broken...

I've been pretty quite on the blog scene lately. Letting "Whopper Mouth" spit all the nonsense in the gym. Each time we lift, "House" makes the comment...Son, you don't wanna raise up your shirt.

Why wouldn't I?

Why would I save a world I no longer have any stake in?

 I have walked on the surface of the Sun... witnessed events so tiny and so fast, that they can hardly be said to have occurred at all. But you, House, you're just a man. The world's swolest man poses no more threat to me than does it's swolest termite.

CHALLENGE ME!

Well, dont mind if I do!

Yeah fella, pretty sure I am...

14 Days and counting.....

I hope you boys are on it.....I am.

4. Flex in the City

Let the count down begin.....

Well, here we are.  About 25 days out from the end of the challenge and I must say...the competition is heating up!  I cant speak for everyone, but I know I have been busting my ass trying to beat these losers!  I don't wake up at 6 am every morning to do p90x to get second!  At this point I am down to about 225 from 239 and 12.9% BF from 16%.  My goal was 220 so I am pretty sure I can hit that with no problems.  The dieting is getting harder and harder.  I don't have the luxury of Flex or my other competitor who shall remain nameless of being able to eat freakin pizza's on the weekend! (Bastards...and yes....I AM BITTER!).  They have the metabolism of a horny 4th grader while mine is more like a sophomore in college!  I have to REALLY watch my carbs and fat intake, but oh well.  No pain...no change!  As we draw closer to the end, I look at my competition and wonder "Are they working as hard as me?"  "Can I slack off just a lil bit and still place?"  Then I get slapped with a big slice of reality pizza as I see Mr. Forna doing 1,092 pull ups and Mr. Flex running 9 miles on the tread.  What happened to my other competitors you ask?  Your guess is as good as mine.  Some never really started, thinking they can win it in 1 month.  Others don't hit it hard enough, while some are more flaky than that guys scalp in a head and shoulders commercial.  

I am competitive at everything I do.  Whether it be football, basketball (which I suck at), bowling, soccer, Madden, or freakin marbles.  I hate to lose.  I despise it.  It leaves a bad taste in my mouth like a cheap protein shake.  So I do everything I can NOT to lose.  Yeah, I am tired most of the time and don't feel like lifting.  And yeah I don't like waking up at the ass crack of dawn to jump, stretch, move and bend.  And of course, I feel as weird as it looks when I wear that waist wrap in the gym and while doing p90x.  BUT WHO CARES!  Men lie, women lie, but numbers don't.  My numbers show I am on the right track, so I am sticking with it.  And this time....the picture will look a lil different folks.  I may not win OBB overall, but I can tell you this....I damn sure wont get last.  To my competitors ( at this point, Flex and Forna), don't look back, or I may pass you.  To the other guys....thanks for the donation.  I will make sure you can use this as a tax right off.  Oh yeah....one more thing.....I DON'T LOSE!

It's a Jungle Out There

click the picture to see the full sized beast

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Please DO NOT disturb a beast while it is feeding. It’s a jungle out there folks and you either eat or be eaten. See, myself, I’m a eater. You can call me a man eater the way I’ve devoured my competition so far. I’ll give it up for the HOUSE though, he’s went from a elephant to a anorexic hippopotamus in under a month. In regards to Transformers, I am still waiting for the transformation. We may need some WD-40 to get those gears turning.

Let us examine the change. On January 3^rd, I was 192 pounds at 14.6% body fat. Fast forward to today and I am a solid 179 and around 13%. I may be lower since the last time I checked but that will be a surprise that I will not open until March 31^st. Looking in the mirror and I see the abs that I ordered from Amazon have arrived and FedEx just delivered some shiny new calf muscles.

I know that I’ll get an ear full from my favorite reader Eryn but come on. I AM A BEAST, HEAR ME ROARRRRRR. I've seen so many changes so far it’s ridiculous.

Gain 20 pounds while bulking – check!
Gain 15 pounds of muscle – check!
Lose 10 pounds of fat while cutting– check!
Abs are abrageous (yes, new word) – check!

The list goes on. My work attire tomorrow may just be some Speedos, Timberlands, top hat and a monocle. Yep, a monocle. Look it up.

They say that you are what you eat. Unfortunately, I beg to differ. If that was the case, after eating my competition, I would have a cholesterol level higher than Steve Urkel’s waist line. As Randy Newman stated, “It’s a jungle out there... Its jungle out there!”

FINISH THE FIGHT!!!

We all remember the game Halo right? Of course we do. The GSC spent many of nights playing against each other. Making clans, beating noobs on the internet and coming across some cold ass people at the same time. The funniest shit was watching Flex make all those crazy ass faces like he was a damn ostrich poking at the screen. Everbody used to sleep on my Halo skills but there were a few occasions where they would be like, WTF?, I can't believe MON(Transformer) won! It's cool, I know it was unexpected but hey, shit happens. It's not all about how you start, but more so, how you finish.

I started out as the weak-link in the bunch. A meager 150+ pounds. My new name in the gym(Team 24) is "Smalls." Its cool though. I know where I've been, and I know where I'm going... Just take a look.

People have seen the progress of the GSC and now wanna be apart. This fitness challenge has sparked the interest of a lot of people at the gym. They wanna know, "How are ya'll doing it?" I tell them, "a LOT of shit talking!"So......Now that all the laughs are outta the way, lets get to business.

First, I have to admit, I thought I was doing something by trying to gain and lose at the same time. House warned me but I didn't listen. I got to my goal of 180, but in the process I gained body fat. That's a no-no......much like House's fashion sense. The midway progress picks were not in my favor AT ALL! I'll admit, I got a down on myself that first day. I knew all the jokes would be coming and I thought about giving up. I read the new blog by House and I'll give it to him, he STUNG the hell out of me. But it was much deserved. I even got a chuckle out of it. But as he stated, I'm the little engine and I'm just gonna keep trucking along. This challenge aint over just yet. I'm just gonna get on it and keep it moving. I had to change a few things in my diet, change supplements, but more so in my workout intensity. I just gotta keep pushing....CHOO-CHOO!

There's a new "Master Chief" in town.... and this game is getting pretty serious. Remember fellas:
