thanks man. Watching when he defeated the Giant russian.
I don’t think even Rocky trained from midnight to 2am before fighting the Russian . . . I like your chances!
sooooo, well the competitors were coming from other state, i guess they were afraid, 'cause they didn’t call or anything, they didn’t get to the event, so i couldn’t fight my heavy opponent.
in stead i had an exhibithion match, it was against a guy that had like 3 fights under his belt, it was a good fight, but i was really winded at the third round. i’m gonna train harder, a lot harder, i think i could have given more on the fight, but i’m not in the best shape, i’ll guess i’ll perform much better at 90kg, let’s see how i do.
i got home at midnight, i was kinda dissapointed, so i felt like squatting.
just did 6 singles with 131kg, i was really sleepy so i ended the session.
as for the hepburn program, well it’s a great program, the only problem is that it takes too much time to be completed, and as i train before school i have no much time, so i guess i’m changing og program again, i think i’mm getting back at the old west side.
TC
wtf guys??? before the match i weighted 104kg, even the monday i weighted 105.5kg, so wtf??? i weighted my self on tuesday and i was weightin 106.2kg!!! that really wasn’t funny, i was ok with no losing weight some weeks, but gaining back 2 kg??? that sucks balls, wtf???

wow, now that i’m posting this, well it seems like a lot, whatever. I used more than 60% of my 1RM on box squats, that was the advice a strogman i met online gave me. He also told me to do speed pulls the same day.
Then on evening, bla bla bla, damn, my trainer spared with me today, 4 rounds, but he told me that this get’s real here, so he really chased me, he punches as much as he could (he’s a pro boxer), i was gasping for air, but if i can spar with a pro, who the fuck will give me battle?? 
haha.
then sprints, heavy bag, shadow box, push ups, abs, then another round of sparring with a newbie, and that was all. i’m really starting to get pissed off, i wannna melt this lard, NOW, i’ll do whatever i can, i really want it, i’ve got some results, but they’re not enought, i want the gold, not the silver.
TC
Damn, i’m starting to get tired of these sudden desesperation attacks, have lost 15kg-33 pounds guys, i’m still morbidy obese, goal line seems so far from me now, i’m so confused, i’ve had some incredible gains (and loses),
i got my first 400+ pull, my first chin up, then my first pull up, then my first boxing match, i use clothes i hadn’t used in years. But the sad bur real truth it’s that i’m still really fat, and you know what, what pisses me off is the fact that i allowed my self to get so fat, wtf was i thinking???
so many fucking years feeling so uncomfortable with my self, and i did shit about it, and now that i’m doing it, well it’s so fucking hard, it’s no like, oh yes, i gotta train my ass off- hurraa!!, there are days that i feel really fucked up, and i’m still training, days that i literally have to sit down and wonder why i’m doing this.
you know the feeling you get after sprinting, it ain’t nice, now imagine sprinting with a lard vest, whatever, i know that what i’m trying to acomplish takes a lot of hard work, LOTS of it, it’s just that sometimes i feel like i’m not gonna make it to the goal line.
i’ll confess something, what i fucking hate the most is to worry about my fucking lovehandles showing them self while i walk, to have to suck your gut when girls are around, to feel shame when a girl hugs you, 'cause you know, shes touching your lovehandles, you know what???
i’m fucking pissed off, i’m going to my room and will do a complexes session (though it was an OFF day), not only that, i’ll do one extra rep on each exercies, with 10 pounds more on the bar. i was thinking about going out and have some tacos for dinner, fuck that, i’ll have my usual lean meat. From this point it will be like if i just started, so here i go.
Initial stats:
height: 5’9"
Current weight: 106kg.
Waist line: 120.5cm
Chest (at nipples):114cm
Main goal: fat loss.
Lifts 1RM (what i’ve actually lifted, not just calculated)
DL: 188.5kg
Squat: 140kg
BP:98kg
max pull ups: 3
max chin ups: 5
so here i go, wish me luck (you know first day of my transformation).
A re- beginning, good idea.
Stay pissed it will give you drive. Read Chris Shugart’s article “Phoenix Theory.” it will put a lot of this stuff into perspective.
Don’t kill yourself over weight fluctuations. If you go low carb then eat a cheat meal you will increase glycogen levels and thus weigh more. This isn’t fat so don’t worry. The waist measurement is the important one anyway.
Focus on the positive. You may have let yourself go in the past but that is nothing you’ll ever settle for again. That is powerful in itself. You are literally remaking yourself. I know very successful people that are completely incapable of positive physical transformation, be proud.

thanks bro, really good article.
basiclly i restarted 'cause i’m constantly reminding my self about all what i’ve done and that i’m still fat. so as i just started, i haven’t done anything yet :), so there’s nothing to complain about.
As you said, i’m remaking my self, thanks bro.
Well i said, last night i was really pissed off, i had an uncontrolable feeling, i was desesperated, i just needed to train.

i did

2x7x40kg
2x6x40kg
1x5x40kg
90 seconds rest between sets (it sounds easy, but it was hell, i’m literally afraid of next session)
so i added 5kg to all sets, added one rep per exercise. Damn it was a really fucking unconfortable session, if i’d stoped to think why i was doing that i would ended the session.
my anger drived me, and it was nice, i was heavily sweating, between each rep of the final 4 sets i was begging for the session to end, when i ended the session i was still desesperated, i dropped to my knees and said- good job. Then just remembered the very first day of my transformation, i’m gonna makeit.
I’m exactly at the half of this race, there no turning back.
today’s morning session.

you know what guys (yeah i know, lots of psycho posts), i’m kgs away from hitting 100kg, that was my first goal (now it’s 90kg), but hell it will take me real close to the end line.
i know i can do it, so this is the plan, i’m on a race right??, so jogging is for losers, i’m gonna sprint, so i’ll have another complexes session right now, another tomorrow, another on my weights off days till i hit 100kg.
i’ll give 200% on boxing and complexes sessions, i’ll train 'til i reach Physical and mental overtraining, 'til i feel so fucked up that i have to take a week off, i’ll train like if my life would depend on it, i’ll smash my self into the ground.
it ain’t gonna be easy, obviously, but i really want it, i gave the first step, now it’s time to speed up a little bit.
every night i will be really satisfacted thinking that i have less fat on me. bla bla bla, too much talk, i’m gonna hit hard the iron.
Yes I have to agree about the weight fluctuations and not to worry about them. First and foremost man it could be that you are adding muscle? Water? Don’t think it’s fat plus you’ve been doing very well on the 5/3/1 so like I said it could be a positive thing (More muscle, faster metabolism ect ect ect)
ok, as i said, i just finished another succesful fat burning session ;).

jfc, why must it be so hard??. I can’t even describe how unwanted that session was. The good part is that i’m done in less than 30 minutes, but hell, i wish i wouldn’t be that hard, anyway i won’t stop, no matter what.
do you guys think that this kind of training is optimal for fatloss??
i don’t remember where i read it, but there’s a quote i loved.
If you are going through hell, Keep going. (i’ll quote it on every post i do)

wow, thanks man, just thinking about adding some muscle makes me a happy mofo. Now that i think it, well my arms look like i actually lift (not that much), my back is getting thicker, now if i grab my legs i feel the muscles, not just a bunch of lard as i used to.
Thank man, i’ll focus on waist and chest measurements.
wtf??? i just re-read the article about complexes.
1.They fucking stole my exercise selection (it’s okay, i’m not selfish)
2. The one that looks like the one i’m doing calls for 6reps!!!, then one rep down for each consecuent set.
3.That’s fucking a lot less than i’m doing. COOOOOOLL!!!
I can literally feel how fat melts down while performing that session.
on morning, bla bla bla.

damn, why does life sucks??? 4 months, 4 months, 4 months i’ve been on this road, i took a picture of my self and, well still looking the same, :(, time?? give it time??, damn, i really need an exit on this, i need to find something that keeps me sane, i’m not quiting, i’m still exercising and dieting, it’s just that when i looked that fucking picture i felt pretty bad, i almost cried, it’s really frustrating, 15kg, almost 15cm leaner, and still looking the same, that really sucks. 4 moths guys, it’s been 4 moths, do you have an idea of what i’ve been trough on this time?? it hasn’t been nice. it took me 4 months to lose 15kg, and at least i need to lose another 15kg, another 4 months, well that sucks, but it was my choice, no one turned me in to a morbify obese person, it was me, i got in, then i have to take my ass out of it.
You will say, -what a pussy, he’s always complaining about everything, but have in mind that before starting this shit i was really pathetic, it’s the first time i put so much effort on anything, it’s really hard. damn i did it again.
just will keep in mind: “if you’re going trough hell, keep going”.
