Jason's Before & After

Two weeks left!!!

I'm glad everyone is still so fired up about this competition. For those who are still committed to their goals and to their performance enhancing drugs I think we can all see a recognizable difference and say with confidence that we are much better people than the rest of our friends. One big lesson that I've learned is that diet is just as important as the number of days working out. You can't have a high cheese diet and expect to lose stomach fat. Also, mayonnaise is bad. Planks and running are much better for defining abs than doing crunches, and eating whole grains instead of white flour leads to greater regularity which is always a positive thing to have. For those who are still participating, let's make these last two weeks count so we can be in tip top shape for our 3 month pictures. Thank you

Who's judging the competition?

What are you guys' thoughts about who should judge the competition and how?

Last month of the competition!!!!

I have gotten a lot busier with school and have dropped from 4 or 5 times a week at the gym to 3 times a week during the last month. I don't think I've seen any more results during the last month but I have maintained what I had gained through daily doses of green smoothies, doing planks, and trying to work in some cardio. I really need to step it up during this last month. Everyone needs to recommit themselves so that we can be motivated to take our 3 month picture. What do you say everyone? Can we do it? I declare that we can... and we must. Thank you.

Exercising my mind and losing my body

Yep, that's what I've been doing the last few days, exercising my mind in preparation for one of the most demanding tests I've ever had to take in all my years of school. Unfortunately, I've not only put off exercise, but I've neglected proper eating and sleep habits, and even eliminated hygiene as an important priority. I've quickly gained 65 lbs, aged about 10 to 15 years, and developed an unsightly rash that now covers 90% of my body. It's amazing how quickly things can take a turn for the worse. LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL. DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? If you're not careful, you can quickly turn into a human slug that doesn't bathe, substitutes water for soda and energy drinks, plays video games until the sun rises, and drops f-bombs and crude anatomical terms into every sentence. It's happened to me in a matter of days and it's not fun. IT'S NOT FUN!!! UNDERSTAND? I hope I've made my point clear

One month in

We're one month into the competition and I'm glad that we're doing this. I've been a gym-goer for the past few years but been very inconsistent. After a few weeks I'd usually make excuses not to go regularly and never really saw any big gains. I haven't done any measurements, but I think I'm at least a little bit more defined than I was a month ago. I started running a mile everyday after lifting and I think that's the big difference maker because it's burned some fat off my stomach and my 'A'. At the end of 3 months I want to get rid of all my belly fat and get hired on as a shirtless fireman. I've got a lot of work to do before I can join the guys across the hall. Mitchell has been very supportive through it all, leaving handwritten notes of admiration and respect on my pillow and winking at me during the day. I wish I could say the same for Braden. He spends most of his time tearing down others and ultimately making the world a worse place to live in. I would like to see others' pictures to see how everyone is doing. I think it would motivate me a lot. Keep up the good work everyone.

The Juice Man

Last week was semi-productive but not great. I was wishing that I had more time and energy to dedicate to this competition. I also found that my motivation was dwindling a bit and that going to the gym became a huge inconvenience. That all changed the minute I listened to an infomercial featuring Jay Kordich; also known as the Juice Man. He opened my eyes and I've got a feeling that he'll open yours too if you just give him 5 minutes of your time. I feel a new sense of life and vitality and I owe it this man. Right now I am sitting in the bathtub in tears thinking about what this man has done for me and thousands of others. Please give him your time and your money. Thank you.

Give it a watch

Week 3: Losing the shirt

Well, things are going so well and my results have come so rapidly that I've decided that wearing shirts around the house just isn't for me anymore. My roommates may have felt a little uncomfortable at first, but I think they've gotten used to the idea and realized that this is who I am now. When you look like I do it just doesn't make any sense to be burdened by a shirt. I think it's safe to say that Mitch is starting to catch the vision too. The other day I walked into the kitchen to find him cooking up a hearty breakfast, wearing only a football jersey and socks. He was crying and I noticed several strips of bacon scattered on the kitchen floor and hot grease splattered over everything. Apparently Mitchell had decided that it was time to show off the results of hundreds of squats, leg presses, lunges, and plyometrics and sustained several second degree burns to his bare thighs and shins. I helped clean him up and he seemed to calm down after his bath. I told him that he needed to wear pants for his own safety and after hours of fighting and crying he finally gave in and agreed.

Week 2 Success!!!!

I've gone to the gym 10 times in the last 2 weeks and it definitely makes a difference. I added some cardio into my workout to burn off my belly a little bit. I think that's the only way it's going away. Haha!! I've tried to eat a little bit better too and it helps. I'm eating whole wheat bread, wheat pasta, brown rice and trying to cut out fatty stuff without any nutritional value. I don't know if I've noticed enough difference to post any new pictures so I'll probably do that in a month or so.

I had a great week with the help of steroids gaining 13 lbs of muscle, dropping my body fat to 2% and kicking 3 people's 'A'. All in all, it was a successful week
