The Return

rIPPDUP · 05-24-2009, 11:57 PM

Hello all, and a new hello to all the new folks out there. I am certainly not new to bodybuilding, nor to bbd. I've been absent from the world for some time now collecting my thoughts, and getting my life back on track. The last update that most of you remember was when I was hovering right around 225-230 after doing several cycles of aas. Since then, i've relocated back to the Pittsburgh area, taken a great job and definitely dropped some weight...a lot of it to be exact. I'm currently hovering around 160-165. Don't worry, I know a bunch of people are probably thinking damn rIPPD what the hell happend to you!?! Trust me it's a long story. Needless to say, I'm back. I'm hitting it with a vengence. I may not be posting a hell of a lot on here, but trust me, i'm still here, lurking in the shadows. I'll be updating photos soon. Take care all, see you in your nightmares.

Hey dude;

Nice to see you back, bro! You are looking great - very lean and in good shape - grats on that! You gotta post a log and tell us what your current goals are.

rIPPDUP · 06-10-2009, 11:31 AM

hey guys, here's the goals:::::

i'm not all about getting gigantic again, just about getting shredded to the core, doing a nice lean bulk and maintaining that single digit bodyfat. so if all goes as planned, i'm hoping to get to around 175-180 with very little need to drop weight for contest. i'm hoping to maintain around a 9% bf goal. (who knows maybe i'll just say screw it all and get back to 230 again. gosh i miss those days).

you better believe it moorey! it's been awful to not be in the gym throwing weight around, but i'm definitely looking forward to my quick progress again.

i still had visible abs so i'm guessing around the 12-14% range not too high
