The best piece of wisdom on getting big and ripped I have ever heard in my bodybuilding venture is "you must start with a big solid mass and cut away at it to sculpt something great. A little off the shoulder, round out the chest, slope the thigh." This strategy will lead to a muscular beast that is cut and powerful. With a goal and outlook with how much you want to accomplish, it's possible for most to get there!

This is what I did to get where I am today at 6' and 250 and proportioned to a "T". My goal was to start with a substantial slab of meat by taking lots of weight gainer and lots of heavy weights. My program consisted of the basics and I changed the way I worked out monthly with every method known to man. If it was Mike Mentzor's way or Arnold's way which is low volume or high volume, I new that with being consistent while changing things up I could continue to see results.

At the same time I was trying the latest and greatest supplements to ensure proper nutrition and to get the edge and do what others could do but dont for whatever reason. I saw myself bigger than most and at the same time athletic and agile. My biggest spurt in growth came when I took androstene and creatine for the first time at the age of 18 and jumped in bench from 345 lbs to 410 lbs in a month and on all my other lifts I went up just as quick.

I got my body proportionly bigger with no goal for vascularity because my thinking at that time was that you cant cut if you dont have anything to cut from. In trying to gain size one must gorge themself with food, eating everything in sight. Buffets were a must on my tight budget while attending college. So after bulking for five solid years and weighing 200 lbs at 6' and being the strongest I have seen at my size, I was ready to take my body to a new level. It was time to look in the mirror and sculpt.

After examining my body I was shocked how my muscles were so big and how I had that puffy appearance and I have to tell you I fluctuated maybe by only five pounds and knew I had a solid body and carried little water weight even though I took creatine at that time. I was already staying decently active with cardio because I worked at a car wash and then at an airport parking cars for a rental company getting a regular cardio workout from head to toe for example "wax on wax off".

With a love for basketball I increased my play by not only playing on the weekends but also on weekdays. Joining a league and hitting my cardio at sooner intervals and length I was able to sweat and burn calories like crazy. I have to tell you I cant run in place on a treadmill, I mean how do you people stay in one spot doing the same motion over and over looking at the same thing for 30 minutes.

If your able to get a groove and entertain yourself and enjoy your cardio you will want to come back for more, so you need to trick yourself to enjoy the burn in the lungs and the grasping for air. At the same time I was flexing and lifting and feeling the muscle with no concern for weight for 12 to 15 reps. For four months I did this with little to show in size but weighed the same while taking my jean sizes down from 38 to 32. My muscles were tighter and looked stronger while my weight that I was doing was increasing for the higher reps but pyramiding the weight a little lower some days to see the results I was actually still as strong I was when i started to cut.

I was disapointed and out of frustration after 6 months, so I had to get back to the basics and took a couple weeks to heal my joints that ached from all those reps and cardio. It was time to go back heavy and here is where everything came to fruition. I went back to lifting heavy and wham I blew up and felt stronger, quicker, and inhuman. I had exploded in the next year lifting back and forth like a tug of war between cutting and getting more muscle.

The point is I never could have cut up if I didnt have the size. To be honest the size was easy to get, just load up on all the supplements thats hot and new and experiment and build and swell up without an abundance of cardio and high reps in the beginning. Stay lower than 10 reps and try all the good principles that so many successful gym warriors have done since the 60's. I'm one of them and you take it to the bank. There's no luck just determination.
