Over 200 lbs.!

[MrMatt]

So I weighed myself today after my workout. 201 lbs.!! First time I'm up over it in my life, I feel like I'm starting to get closer to the 'big boys' so to speak. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help from people here especially CC, 300, Prof X, J Rock, Live, etc. I switched to an upper/lower heavy/light split, and along with 4000 cals/day I've managed to add some good weight onto all my lifts. I set a new record for a DL triple last week, and just today set a new BB Row record. I also benched 250 for 6 today, and considering my highest single is 265 (last year, this year my high was around 240 before this current bulk) I should be setting a record there soon.

The article recently from Thibs, about aiming for 1-2 lbs. lean per week contributed a lot too, so I'm still around 12.5% bf I'd say, so it hasn't been sloppy at all, and I'm looking forward to 210 now.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help I've gotten here.

Im envious of those bench press lifts. I have a crazy strong lower body but lack strength in my upper body.

Nice. 200lbs at 12-13% BF is pretty buff. Great numbers too. :thumbsup:

I seem to have no trouble gaining any amount of weight, but I have trouble letting go of the reins on my diet. I guess I'm scared I'll blow back up to fatass proportions be back where I started when I began dieting and exercising last year.

I was always worried about that too, I think if you can gain good control over your diet then it becomes a much less scary prospect.
