Did you see the clip? I am a boxing enthusiast and it is common knowledge among historians that Tyson did not implement weight training into his training. Neither did the great heavyweights of the past that Tyson looked up to and tried to mimic.

You are right ask any powerlifter or body builder what there 3 best exercises BENCH/SQUAT/DEADLIFT tried and true to make u grow.
Herschel Walker is another guy who wasn't a weight-lifter. thousands of pushups and situps instead (and dips and pullups).
Then you hear his diet where he eats one meal a day - a huge salad with some chicken and soup and bread (yes bread, the evil food), that's it. Plus coffee and coca-cola. And he only sleeps 4 hours a day! Some articles claim he's a vegetarian but he's said he eats chicken just no red meat (and he started a company that sells chicken)
That goes completely against what most people will tell you - eat big, lift big, eat tons of protein, get lots of sleep....

You poor kid you obviously have a lot to learn and are totally oblivious to what we're saying. You ramble on and make no sense at all whatsoever. You even state that my argument is irrelevant because I came in not understanding what Lucky7 was trying to accomplish. I read every single post in this thread starting with #1 so I know exactly what he said and I suggested that he start using weights and change his routine. I also offered my assistance, should he need any, to help him with his specific goals. You however, have not offered jack shit except for IBW fucking calculations that prove nothing at all, nothing. If I were you I'd quit while your ahead, oh no wait it's too late for that, you're fucked, just give it up.

This is incredibly embarrassing but necessary I suppose to see exactly what I'm working with. I've always been a fat guy, and the vast majority of people I know have likely never seen me without a shirt on. :lol:
But I think that since I was over 210lbs for such a long time, people just think i'm skin and bones and question my health. I'll admit that my face is skinny. My extremities have never been blatantly fat - it's always been in my mid section.
First and last time I do this shit. :lol: I snapped this when I woke up this morning.
I took my brother out to the Sagebrush Cantina in Lake Orion for his birthday last night - I ate and drank WAY too much, and I'm paying for it today. :lol:
But that's me, 5'8", 137lbs (weighed this morning). I'm certainly not a stick, nor do I intend to be - I just want to lean out a tad more. To be honest, I'm pretty happy with where I've gotten myself thus far. And to reiterate, I don't sit on my thumbs all day. I walk at a very fast pace all over the place. My commute every week is approximately 22 miles - which is all done via walking. Then of course, wherever else I want to go is additional exercise. I also do push-ups and sit-ups everyday. I'm not looking to build lots of muscle - I just want to look a little better.

Nothing but props to you for posting a pic! And nothing wrong with walking, it's one of the best cardio activities for burning fat. Walking at State is quicker than the bus half the time. :lol:
Do you know what your macronutrients break down to each day? How much fat, protein and carb you take in? Depending on where you're at now, you might be able to alter the ratio's at the same calories, with no other changes and reach your goals!

I honestly don't have a routine. I eat when I'm hungry, and try to stop before I feel full. :lol: The key word there is try.
I walk every day though. Even though I don't have class today, I'll probably pop in my headphones and do it anyways. I have a route I like to take. It's about 4 miles and usually takes me about 40-50 minutes.
I wish I could answer the questions you're asking. :lol:
I honestly think this is another one of those plateau situations. Assuming that is the case, I'll be happy with that. Minor changes tend to eliminate plateaus from my experience. But again, I'm not dissatisfied with how I look right now. I realize that there is a lot of room for improvement, but less than 3 years ago I was 80 lbs heavier than I am today.
Yeah, I know I'm a hairy fucker.

Phenomenal transformation. Keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks!
Unfortunately I think that might be part of the issue.
I do think that the toughest part is far behind me though. I really don't want to dip below 130, so I guess I'll just keep on doing my thing and reevaluate in another month or so. Things are going to change for me over the summer, because I'll be way busier than I have been. I'll al so be landscaping a few days a week it looks like. The exercise will be good for me. Thanks for the kind words though - makes me feel pretty good.
