can we get a second category for those who arent so natural?
I’m in! I’m 6’4", currently about 200lbs on the nose, but I think I should shoot higher than only 12 lbs. I haven’t taken any supps for 2-3 months and I usually put on 5-9 lbs just from loading creatine. I’ll race some of the other tall guys to 220. Jared NFS, I like the idea of comparing a slow gain group to a bulk/cut group. I’ll keep an eye out to see how this progresses…
I’m in also, I’m 6’0 170 lbs probably 12% bf or so. Just ordered my first dose of mag-10 so hopefully when I get it at the end of august I can get a kick start. Still working on building my home gym though, all I have right now is a bowflex. getting a power rack and some free weights for my garage though, might take a few months to save up for all the equip. plus I play Alot of golf all summer so I only lift seriously during the cold months, then watch all my progress slip away all summer. 
I guess since I started this thing, I better throw my hat into the ring.

I submitted a thread in the photo forum and I tried to only have the rules up as the first post, but you have to have a pic in the first post, so I’ll resubmit it when I get home and have access to my pics.
For those who aren’t natural, just shoot for 20 lbs or so. Would that be enough? I don’t know much about steroid gains or what not. You can always tell me otherwise.
I think if I was 180, I could get up to 200 by Thanksgiving, so that’s why I set the bottom of 180 to shoot for 200. If that’s too much, just say so.
I made some “rules” and here they are.
1 - Start Sept 1st, end Nov 26th
2 - Weigh between 180 and 190 - shoot for 200 lbs. Weigh under 180, try to gain 12 lbs. Weight between 190 and 200, try to get to 205. Weigh above 200, try to gain 12 lbs. (We can always make this 15 lbs for a nice round number)
3 - 15% bf maximum
4 - Pro-steroids and Pro-hormones allowed. For those using Steroids, try to gain between 20-25 lbs (is this a decent weight, P-DOG?)
5 - Have fun doing this. Since we will be in the photo forum, submit a before pic if you can. Post pic, age, weight, bf% and brief plan.
Are these good enough? Did I miss anything?
How about a race to 150?
Anyone in? Nate Dogg?
Jeff - have you not be reading my posts directed to you on the “Mass: time to get some” thread?
How much do you weigh right now? Gain 12 lbs and stay under 15% bf and you can join this race.
JWright, yeah I’ve been reading your posts on the other thread. You said I should go for 165, but I think that would be too big! :D)
Gain mass & stay under 15% bf? I think I’m SOL then. I guess I’ll have to be a spectator.
I’m 6’1"
30yrs
205
about 10%bf
maybe too short to race with the tall boys but already a bit over 200.
Anyone in this category?
jw,
honestly i dont know, this is going to be my first mass cycle. i have only done three short cutting cycles with very very mild dosages. probabaly something equal to using mag-10.
however having said that i think 20lbs is a reasonable goal. that would put me about 10-12lbs higher than i have ever been in my life and i do not plan on gaining a lot of fat.
There is a thread in the photo forum called “OFFICIAL Race to 200”. Post all pics, stats, and plans over there.
I kept the name because as someone said previously (Jim I think) it sounded sexy, as I agree.
kuri, go for 220.
Kuri you are rather similar to me.
Im 30, 212, 10.5%, 6’2".
Already started to refeed/up to maintenance yesterday, but it’s not going so well yet. Think my body doesn’t like grains or something.
I’m in although I’m under 170. Damn I can’t wait to start bulking. I havent bulked in months.

jeff you weigh 130 because of your attitude and nothing else.
Just wanted to wish you all the best, and I’ll be keeping a close eye on all of you, as well as monitoring to make sure none of you rescind on your word and get pussified.
Da Boxer…Sorry, bro, it just doesn’t flow with the new name:-) Anyway, in your first post, you said:
Set your sights high, bro! With the way you train and how lean you are, my man, you’re destined to pack on nothing but LBM. Set your goals high!
Case in point, last June 1st I weighed in at a meager 150 (bodyfat was only minimal essential stores…maybe 3-4%…you’ve seen the pictures). By December 19th of this past year, I was 195 at 5% fat (determined by DEXA). So, my man, it can be done.
Goldberg, ya sure it doesn’t have to do with me not eating enough?
ATTENTION!!
Alright fellow T-Brethren, there’s a new thread in the photo section. Post all your stuff over there!!
For those of you who have expressed interest, please post stats, including age, height, bf%, goal and brief plan as to how you will accomplish this goal. The Rules have been posted, as well as my stats, which you can use as a guideline.
I’m starting as soon as my hot-rox runs out.
