Thought I would share this photo. It's the most recent one I have. I'm 6' 4", and weigh 300 lbs. I've started using lower weight, and higher reps. My goals is to cut up more.

Damn Smokey,
Your definately a big guy. Nice solid build all around. Cutting up will definately be worth it to show off your hard work underneath. Don't tell me anyone has ever run from you on the job, I don't think they would like the end results.

Your huge bro, wouldn't want to run into you in an alley. Can't wait to see when your done cutting.

Thanks for the kind words Sleazy, and Kilo!

God damn your a big boy!

You're one biiiggg dude! Lookin' good too! I meant that in a hetro way!

Thanks Dave, and Snachito. But, as I always say "I'm never big enough."
People will ask "How much do you bench?" My answer "Not enough!"

First, you're looking very good. I want to tell you that from my experience doing higher reps with less weight will not help you effectively cut. It's a big misconception. The best way to cut is to work on your diet and incorperate more cardio (not too much, though.) Studies have shown that 16 minutes of intense cardio can burn more fat than trying to run a marathon. I'll try and provide a link when I find it. I think it's under Max-Ot cardio. It's high intensity training or HIT. For guys like us, we don't want to loose strength and mass for the sake of cutting. Stay on your current program and just tweek your diet. Results won't be fast, but they will be overall better for you.

[QUOTE=0311]Thanks for the advice. I agree with you about the diet, which is one of my weak points. I started using lower weights to help my joints as well. I need to start taking glucosamine. I still consider myself to be young at 34, soon to be 35. But, after lifting weights for 11 years, I can feel it. Thought it would be a nice break for my joints. However, 4 weeks into it, and I miss the heavy weights. I'm a notorious tight wad. I'll have to break down, and buy some glucosamine.

tauris, where did you get that info on walking? that is very interesting indeed. if you can provide a link or something that would be great. also, how much walking would you suggest?

Smokey, your a big dude. so what do you bench just kidding big guy. I know you mentioned glucosamine for joints, I use that with condrioten and msm ... i feel your pain with the joint shit. i'm only 23 and arthritis in my neck, and tendinitis (sp?) in my shoulder kick my ass if i'm not using joint supps.

good luck with the cutter, you should start a journal to both motivate you and give us an idea of what your up to.
