LittleMack 16 Months Out From First Show...

[littlemack]

Hello ProMuscle Brothers and Sisters! Littlemack here. I have had a 3 week vacation, but training solid now for 1 week and growing. My trainer Phil Hernon here tells me that he can get me ready for the October 2008 John Sherman Classic in Houston, Texas. I have several friends who will more than likely be competing and it will be my first show ever! I told Phil that I don't care how I place, I just want to experience what all you guys go through and see what bodybuilding is all about...oh yeah..and maybe I will meet a nice girl like Pam' ela along the way. I must keep a watchful eye on Gypsy's brothers....they're crafty! With 16 months till my first show, I plan to lean up and continue to add muscle, and give myself all the time anyone could ever need to prepare. I train hard...so I figured...why not take advantage of my training efforts and reward my trainer for his patience and guidance. Phil's been there as a good friend...even when I was down and out...and acting a little nutty. Seriously. I just want to enjoy the next 16 months, train hard, eat clean, focus on this goal, and enjoy the journey. I'm not getting any younger brothers! hahaha I've decided that I will fly out to see Phil every 3 months(which he doesn't know yet...hahaha) to track my progress. I will create a journal and document this journey with photos every month. Phil already sent me a car to start this journey. He didn't send old beat up Ice Cream Truck. No brothers! He sent me Limousine!!! Hey Phil! Nice Car! Ah...HIGH FIVE!!! Now that my wife Oxano has been eaten by that bear...I'm ready to jump in the car and start my 16 month journey to this bodybuilding show! I have genuine and authentic Gypsy tears for protection. Fear not brothers! This magic is strong!
Hi Five!!!!

What are your stats?

It seems that the only "little" you have is in your nickname!

You look big right now.... i can't imagine how big and hard you'll be after 16 months of Phil advices!Even after only 6 months if you follow exactly his advices!

 

[Phidias]

Ain't "little" at all mack, far from it...

With your frame and Phil's guidance, 16 months should turn you in some kind of beast, that's for sure!

 

[wucrew420]

i want to see what your transformation brings you to in 16 months. best of luck brother

 

[thebrick]

Hey Mack. You ain't little! You're a big guy! You are off to an awesome start and have a great base to build on and get EVEN better. And with Phil training you, we definitely want to see those monthly updates. In 16 months... no wait!!!.. in 6 months we will be saying "dayum!!! look at that!" I am super glad you are doing something positive for yourself and enjoying your life! Way to go!

BTW, I love the humor and energy you bring to this board!!

 

[aquaholic]

I look forward to seeing your progress!

 

[MAINEVENT]

Dang BigMack.....for taking some time off you look great.

Looking forward to seeing what happens over the next 16 months.

 

[littlemack]

Aw...so much great support and compliments from some of the board's finest! Thank you very much guys. Brick, Phidias, and MainEvent I have always looked up to each of you guys for the contributions you've made on this board and for each of your unique accomplishments in this sport.

So let's have some more fun.

This is me when I first started training again when I was going through my divorce at the end of 2004.

I trained hard and eventually got to this stage when I joined this board and met Phil.

Then we started to try and give me a bodybuilders physique and ended up with this in December or so.

Then, as a lot of you know...I went through all of that terrible stuff with my girlfriend of over 2.5 years...and basically stepped out of the gym for a month. The breakup with my ex consumed my life and I was caught up in such a terrible thing. Well...I weathered the storm...trained for about two weeks...and then decided that I needed another break that lasted about 3 weeks. I spent that time with friends and family and getting my priorities in life back together and my head screwed on straight(if there is such a thing). hahaha.
Since I don't have a girlfriend anymore, I've enjoyed sharing this hobby with the next closest people in my life, my family, and good ol' mom is my #1 fan...cooking two meals a day for me and she loves to take those photos weekly to track my progress. A way for us to say, "Wow...look what We've done this week!"
I'm currently 33 years old, 6'0", 245lbs and bf% is...hahaha...let's not try to guess to hard at that people. hahaha... Let's just say I could stand to lose some fat, but I've made great progress with it so far. I'm also still somewhat of a natural...never used real aas. This week I just started to take two prohormones but I really think most of my gains this week have come from Phil's Liquid Beef Aminos and the Hollywood Labs Fat Burner that Tyrone is selling. You can read more about the supplements I'm taking in the thread on the main forum entitled "Phil Hernon Client Sees Results."

I look forward to sharing my results with all of you! What good is traveling such a long journey without any friends to talk to along the way. Right?
God Bless You All!

And....HIGH FIVE!

Would wish you best of luck, except there aint no such thing. Only hard work and determination! Stick with it and you'll get there.

 

[BigBoyJ]

Hey, Mack. I think what you're doing is a smart thing to do. It'll give you something to really focus on. Plus, the changes you make to your body will be very rewarding. You'll learn tons of shit and grow as a person from the experience. Good luck to ya, brother. And hurry up and get your ass to San Antonio so we can do a little partying.

 

[JETHRO TULL]

MACK...I THINK IT'S SMART THAT YOU HAVE SET A GOAL.

YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO KEEP YOU ON TRACK AND HAVE BOARD SUPPORT. I LIKE IT THAT YOU'VE SET YOURSELF ON A HEALTHY PATH.


GOOD FOR YOU. YOU'VE GOT SOME MUSCLE THERE...I THINK YOUR ARM AND BACK ARE GOING TO BE VERY GOOD.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT BEING A LITTLE FAT...WHO GIVES A DANG? YOU CAN ALWAYS LOSE THAT.

GO FOR IT!

 

[tonka]

GO GET UM LITTLEMACK! I will definitely be following your progress!

 

[OuchThatHurts]

Go get 'em Mackattack! You got some guns on you there. With a nice lat spread and a pair of wheels, you'll be jacked... Phil will hook you up. You mentioned some of the personal aspects of your life... this will be soooo good for you. Oh yeah, and STAY AWAY FROM THE GODDAMN BEERZ! I'll tell Phil and he'll kick yer ass! LOL

Hope it's a sweet ride! I'm in your section.

 

[littlemack]

Man...Thanks OTH. It really means a lot to me to have your support. Your definitely one smart cookie...and one of the top guys I admire on this board. I really need this in my life. Focus. Dedication to something positive and rewarding. And I'm working on improving my health to boot! Its been a little tough, you know, b/c this girl that I date(like two or three times a week) loves to drink beer. Holy cow. She out drinks me with ease and she's tiny! That's ok b/c I told her that I can't drink b/c its too hard on my liver. I'm not doing any real aas, but I'm taking these two prohormones and I worry about my liver health. I am taking synthergine and hoping that keeps things in check. The last weekend I went out with her I bought A single beer, opened it, and just sat with it the entire night. Didn't drink it. So maybe I've found a way to trick everyone. hahaha.

Today, I saw a friend of mine who competes in the heavyweight division and he usually places in the middle, like 5 or 6 out of 12 heavies. The guy just seems so enormous. Must have had 19.5" arms with ease and weighed 260 at about 5'9 or 5'10. I don't see how I can compete against guys like that without "real sauce" and maybe I can't, but I've come so far in the last year and I would really like to put on another 30lbs. I'll be patient and see what we can get accomplished...

Thanks again everyone! Looking forward to updating you all and maybe I will even inspire one or two of you guys who have retired to the couch... hahaha

Good to see you up here Mack!! Always remember this, We all started somewhere! You at least have a good head start and one of the best trainers in the biz. You already have some excellent thickness going on. Just be true to yourself and follow Phil's advice. I think you look pretty damn good for now and considering all the shit you've been through recently. Good for you LM. I am really pleased to see you here and look forward to the progress shots. NO I'm not going to call you "BIG MACK". that just implies junk food to me. STACKED MACK sounds better!!! Go for it bro! You can do this.

 

[BOOMSHAKER]

LM, keep yourself focused! Stay away from the fat chicks eating ice cream! Looking forward to seeing you develop more over time my brother! Best of luck to you!

 

[Kaiser]

Good size already. Phil should be able to whip you into shape the rest of the way. That tighty whitey shot burnt my eyes out.

I thought maybe you could forward that stunning photo onto some of Simone's hot girlfriends....

Those damned chicks... so time consuming when youn date them you can't even train the way you'd like... good thing you got rid of her and are able to focus on yourself now Mack!

As a friend of mine who experienced the same situation would say: "Bodybuiding will save us" hahaha

Keep your motivation, that's the key... when you believe in yourself nothing is impossible, nothing! This sport is all mental. Well... if training/nutrition etc... are in order, of course
