DC said something about making a thread, so I figured I would start putting things here. Let's start from the beginning . . .

I'm a finance guy. I've been a broker, an analyst, and a writer. In pursuing these activities and multiple degrees, I tended to put my body last, but not always. I've been ripped (thank you Sust 300 and d-Bol), I've been fat. I've been a rugby player and a tennis guy. I've been a smoker and a daily (heavy) drinker. Now I'm just your average finance guy, with no major vices (which I always thought made me more interesting).

So, why the f-k am I here? I'm here for information and inspiration. I've been lucky so far, as I have gotten both from really great people. Most of all, and I'll parphrase Braw here, I want to get back to "me." More than that, I want to go well beyond the old me and get competitive. I'm getting a trainer, in April, who has snagged magazine covers who will help me on my way and settle long-standing controversies (dairy/no dairy, some cardio/no cardio).

Will I cycle again? Not anytime soon. Once I get where I want to go and identify a contest, I'll shop for an appropriate cycle.

Right now, I'm doing an ungodly amount of cardio along with limited resistance training to prevent muscle loss and a very high protein diet. Things will likely change a lot mid April, so we shall see what comes next.

Stick with it and stay away from excuses. My off days become make up days when I can't make the gym....

You are so right, Big. So far I've learned the difference between doing what I must do vs. doing what I feel like doing. If this is gonna work, how I feel needs to be ignored.

in for this bro, keep your goals in check.

Someone wise once said, "your goals minus your doubts equals your reality".

Any1, I'll appreciate any check ups and advice.

UpHill, that statement was wise and I won't soon forget it.

You both are conspicuously awesome.
