I voted for discoboy but I'm more of a recovering stick-boy. I sit drug and exercise free at around 180 from my previous skinnyfat 155. Proof that a little training and a little juice will put permanent size on a person. And I still look good naked.

I'll be back at the gym in January for my normal spring/summer look-good-with-my-shirt-off routine.

Thanks for taking the bait, I created that category just for you. :D

I like a man who knows what his priorities are.
 
Started going to a gym when I was about 14 as rehab for a knee injury.
that was the start for me, trained all through high school, then hit it super seriously for the past few years until I fucked my back in Jan
 
Unlike just about eveyone else that's posted on here, I'm a recovering runt. 140 pounds of snarling fury in high school. hitting the 200 pound mark earlier this year was like seeing Elvis. Started when I was 15, didn't get serious until college. Had some extended layoffs along the way. Thankfully, I'm still going because I was smart enough not to saddle myself with the lifetime of torture known as children, unlike almost all of the kids that I knew that lifted in high school. Plus, with my job, I almost have to, so the motivation is there too. I just wish I knew about drugs before I did. I'd have been so much happier.


Also, I like to don the occassional sparkly shirt as well.
 
Organized sports my whole life from 7 years old til 22 years old. It got me into training and I just kept going with it. Still play hockey but only in a mens adult league and its only once a week.

I defintitely take breaks from training. Some forced, some by choice. I'll be completely honest, Doing the dieting and putting your body through a constant beating week in and week out is draining by itself. Combine that with a job and the rest of life and it can make a person crash no problem. Some can do it and they like to do it which is great. I usually need a 3-4 month layoff from everything to keep myself sane and so that I can enjoy some of the things that I like to do that dont usually get fit into the schedule when your so consumed with bodybuilding. It has almost become routine for me now: Hit the gym and the diet really hard for about 8 months and then I seem to deviate a little bit and want to get out a little more, eat some normal food, not have to worry about scheduling my day around my meals and getting to the gym. Once I start to get like that, I just stop everything and wait until I get that 100% desire to get back into it. Im usually in "off" phase for about 3-4 months and then Im back at it again.

The word "organized" is actually in the Canadian dictionary? :D




Hahahaha! J/K, bro. Anyone with football taste as good as yours HAS to be OK.

How much do you lose during these breaks?

Depends really. But obvioulsy my 'low' weight is higher each year. This year after a couple 2 month breaks the lowest I got down to was 214.

Yeah started for me in highschool. Some kid who worked out and juiced it for a year would push me around, so I said fuck it. I was skinny, and had shitty self esteeme. So I hit the weight room all through high school. Got decent gains (155lbs) but my diet was ASS. All I would drink was pop and ate twinkies 'n shite. Only when I turned 18 did I got "hardcore" and focused on diet as well. Making some nice progress ( up to 178 from 150). But don't imagine I will ever be happy with my size. I should find that kid, kick his ass, then thank him for getting me started :p
