aevans410 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hello all, My name is Allen, I'm a nerd, and that's ok, because not only do I try to level my Everquest druid and mage as fast as humanly possible, I can squat an ogre, a dwarf and 2 gnomes, and I can run further than a necro yelling "TRAIN INC" in Karnor's. (The old everquest nerds will know EXACTLY what I'm saying). My journey began last June when I had some health issues. I was told by a doctor that if I didn't lose weight, my liver could fail. With the fact that I'm a foster dad and looking to adopt at some point in my life, it was time to get off my butt and take control of my life. I read, read, got confused, looked for a quick fix, got frustrated, then talked to a friend of mine from an old bodybuilding forum I moderated on back in the day. He said "quit f'in around, lift heavy, run, and eat like ya got some sense". Guess what.. It worked! I didn't stress that I wasn't doing 80 reps of flyes or 120 reps of concentration curls. I started running using couch to 5k at first, dropped about 30 pounds. Then incorporated some bodyweight/kettlebell work in along with running, down another 30. Weight loss started to slow a bit so I started looking into a gym membership. There were some reasonable ones, but I got lucky and came across an olympic bench and 300 pounds of olympic plates and a bar cheap. Thus 6 weeks ago the powerlifting commenced. Now, I'm 227, throwing a good amount of weight around, and still losing. I eat at a caloric deficit and eat as clean as I possibly can. I want to get down to 205. I'm here to help people achieve their goals and get support in finishing my epic quest, which is a body fat percentage under 15. Thanks for reading my book Losing weight is easy, the lifestyle change is hard. Nothing worth doing is easy. If it were easy, everyone would be fit and healthy. - me Level 0 Human Ranger started at 303current weight : 225goal : 205 or 15 percent body fatbench : 180squat : 295 Link to comment
