Post your numbers and regiment.
I am 5'11" 240 lbs. I play Soccer-Football (as my (as now) part-time money maker), Rugby Union, MMA, Kung Fu, some Aussie Rules Football, and some Cricket.
I weight train M, T, W, F, Sat and I run M, T, W, F, Sat, Sun.
I take in 250g of Protein on days I train. 200g on just run days, and 150g on off days.
For the ones I remember off the top of my head, I do 345 lb Bench, 550 lb Squat, 240 lb Power Clean.

As I've said, you are a beast. Congrats.
Don't do anything much anymore due to injury. And won't depress myself by revisiting days past.
Srsly. You obviously have the genetics and discipline down. Each nearly as hard as the other to achieve.

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage.

I lift Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and do cardio after lifting. Nothing too spectacular as far as numbers go. I have back problems, which limits what I can do, so I stick to moderate weights on anything that will strain the lower back, though the only thing I avoid entirely are good mornings. No other major injuries (at 33), but my elbows do get fried pretty quickly, especially from skull crushers and the like. I generally can't afford supplements, or for that matter a lot of protein. However, when my grandmother died last month she left me a bit of money, so I've been using creatine, beta alanine, and a multi, and will do so until I can't afford to any longer. I'm 5'9" 200 lbs. at the moment, goal is to cut to about 180, and then add slowly from there (I don't plan on doing endless bulk/cut cycles).

Haha thank you. I am not a beast, just lucky I have the time and materials to do it. This is just what you get from hard work and (outside of Church and my fiancee) no social life. I won't stop trying to get better though.

If you drink the beer in moderation you'll be fine. The "beer belly" thing is just a myth.

You look like a lifter from your pictures.  What brands of supplements do you use? I'd recommend smaller weights, and more reps first (keep on the protein especially) to aid with running to drop the weight. If you can, use those supplements on days of, they won't hurt your weight loss, as long as you do a rough calorie count. Do you stretch everyday, including non-lift days? Running in hoodies, the number one way to lose weight, I don't care what anyone says.

I'd add more protein if I could, but then what little money I have would run out, and I'd like to keep some back for when my car will inevitably break down, so I'm trying to spend wisely. Ahh well, along those lines, I picked the supplement source that seemed cheapest, lol... bodybuilding.com brand from their site. I would prefer something like optimum nutrition, but I just can't swing it right now.

Have you looked at DPS? It is quality stuff for relatively low prices. http://www.dpsnutrition.net/

For weight loss? More reps, just get a comfortable weight and just go up when it gets easy.

My best competitive lifts were 265 sq, 165 bn, 315 dl @ 154 lbs (am a girl elephant) But now I'm old and a little ill, over 125 lbs off that total though only 5lbs off the bodyweight. Be careful of overtraining, that holds younger lifters back from reaching their best strength, and is the cause of many injuries. I was strongest weight training 3 days a week. I don't get the jokes about peanuts, but don't enlighten me please. Love, elephant

For weight loss? More reps, just get a comfortable weight and just go up when it gets easy. A mixture of weight loss as well as muscle growth with which to impress da wimminzes.

More of a runner than a weight lifter. I run about two to four miles (depending on how I feel) six days a week and that is about it. I cut soda out of my diet because it is supposed to be bad for runners, but coffee is something that has remained with me.

Post your numbers and regiment.
I am 5'11" 240 lbs. I play Soccer-Football (as my (as now) part-time money maker), Rugby Union, MMA, Kung Fu, some Aussie Rules Football, and some Cricket.
I weight train M, T, W, F, Sat and I run M, T, W, F, Sat, Sun.
I take in 250g of Protein on days I train. 200g on just run days, and 150g on off days.
For the ones I remember off the top of my head, I do 345 lb Bench, 550 lb Squat, 240 lb Power Clean.
what protein are u eating?

5"10, 180lbs. The only weightlifting I've done recently are bicep workouts: lifting 0.5kg glasses of beer from the table up to my face.

These days I am no longer into carrying excessive mass or going for single rep lifts. Today, at 6'4" I will maintain pretty lean at 210 to 220 lbs., occasionally slipping up to around 230 lbs. I usually lift M, W, F. Most of the time,I keep my upper body lifts in the 8-12 reps range. Sometimes for short periods I will drop in the 5-8 range to appease my desire for some heavier weights. I typically use a range of 12-15 reps for most lower body exercises and sometimes drop in the 8-12 range. I generally keep my rest periods between sets short. Every now and then I will do 6 weeks of German Volume training for a change of pace. In about 45 yrs of training I have been fortunate to not not have many injuries and genrally stay away from ballistic lift movements. I am recently coming off a rotator cuff injury (that wasn't caused by lifting}. This has been the most limiting injury I have had in my 45 yrs of lifting. I am about back to normal and I am handling pretty close to my old workout poundages.
I usually do cardio work on T, Th, Sa. I stretch for about 1/2 hr everyday.

Have been the same weight -my personal target weight- for about 30 years, 200lbs/ 6'2"[1] -varying only about 2.5lbs in either direction aiming for slightly bigger "Bruce Lee" rather than "Arnold," and have done essentially the same routine all my years of training, e.g. I usually do 10-reps of 210-220lb lat pulldowns, 10-reps of *wide* flys with two 95s followed as fast as I can possibly grab them ("super-sets") by wider flies (bringing the weight backwards all the way to the ground with arms completely straight -i.e. like a cross) with 25s -not so much weight, but right after the 95s with no rest between will burn.  (like this, but *all the way* down backwards to the floor! -I do everything with as hyper-extended as possible range of motion, almost combining weight lifting with a sort of "weight stretching") I have never done bench press, just superset flys! (and cable crossovers/110lbs per side, and machines). and I also don't do squats, though I do machine presses and wide lunges (back and forth across the gym), the latter with 135lbs down to about 110lbs, and various other leg exercises, shoulder press, triceps, dips, & etc. I try never to miss more than one day without working out (but usually do something most every day). As mentioned elsewhere I use the SunWarrior Vegan Protein but other than that eat pretty much whatever, except I rarely eat anything with much sugar at all. Tip: most important over the long haul is what you do at least every other day or so over decades, not what you do on a binge or burst of activity that is not sustained (e.g. "New Year's Resolutions"). _________ [1]oddly enough I discovered at the doctor's office a few years ago that I had grown an inch taller; most of my adult life I was 6'1"!

The Arnold Classic is less than a week away. It's a weak line up, but here's my prediction for how it'll play out:
1) Dexter Jackson (for his 4th Arnold title) 2) Ben Pakulski 3) Toney Freeman 4) Fouad Abiad 5) Johnnie Jackson 6) Hidetada Yamagishi (would be higher but he injured his hand/wrist a while back) 7) Ronny Rockel

Got my tax refund yesterday and had to decide what trivial thing(s) to splurge somewhat on. Alcohol or dietary supplements? My options were...  OR  I chose the latter... which saved money and also will turn out to be a bit healthier
