After being a D1 athlete early in my life I found myself at about 415 lbs and like 50% bf (guestimate) 6 years ago - let's just say that even fat people thought I was fat, lol. Of course, saying "found" is a misnomer. It didn't happen overnight. It happened because I was too freakin lazy. And stupid. But since there's no cure for stupid I decided to do something about the lazy part. And while it helped to have a degree in food/nutritional science sometimes it hindered me by over-thinking things to damn much.

So here I am at 46 and without a doubt the strongest I've ever been. I'm down to 265 and 18% bf and using mainly strength training protocols with occasional GVT thrown in. Legs are without a doubt my strongest lifts. Carrying around all that body weight did have one benefit - strong legs and back.

I've said that this is the year that I'm going to drop down to that final level of 10-12% bf so I decided to join SR to see if I could gain a little insight on cutting and/or lean bulking as oppossed to just pure weight loss. I'm too addicted to lifting heavy to use the same methods I employed in the past.

That's all for now and thanks for reading.
