so what what youre telling us that if it came down to it you could see somebody wit da hands and feet easilyI documented my process several times throughout the first thread when we first started it.
I was always a chubby kid in middle and high school. I was around 180 lbs at 5'10". I ballooned up to 220 lbs in undergrad due to late night studying and bad eating habits. I just wanted to drop to 180 lbs, my initial weight. I started doing Muay Thai, stopped eating fast foods on the regular and cut out alcohol. I dropped down to 180 lbs in several months. I kept going to see how far I can push it. Within a year, I was down to like 140 lbs. People who didn't see me for a while swore I was doing drugs or got surgery to shred the lbs
At that time I was still in school so I was able to watch what I ate. I pretty much ate lean turkey ($20 for a Foreman grill was a great investment!). I only ate out like once a week. I didn't start lifting weight until almost a year later, this is the only thing I would've done differently if I can so I can retain some of the muscles I had. I did Muay Thai 5-6 times a week, and they were really just one big cardio session. I attended the first Muay Thai gym in the states and the cats there were really OG, like I had to talk to them in Thai because they spoke no English. It would be like 5 mins of jump roping, then 40 mins of combo stuff, ie 10 high kicks, mid kicks, knees, etc. and pairing up punches. The last 10 mins or so was for sparring.
I stopped because of injuries and I got a job out of school so I couldn't go to Muay Thai classes as often. I then joined 24 Hr Fitness, which I still go to today. That was when I started talking to the dudes on the OG thread, which were Joe Camel and Al Audi. I started eating to by BMR, and started gaining weight a bit.
I love HIIT, I do that now at the gym for cardio (though it's not really true HIIT since the treadmill does cap out at a certain point).

I'm not a fighter by any means. I'm probably one of the most peaceful dudes you'll ever meet. It'll be self defense if I ever have to do it again. After doing it for a while, you can def see who knows how to fight within the first few seconds. Like dudes who palm their hands and keep them low at waist level and stand straight and not staggered...those guys will get dropped quickly because they aren't guarding their heads. I've only used to have this twice on the streets. I want to get back into it, but as I age older, the injuries become more prone. Even with shin pads, sometimes I'll have like bruises and swelling the size of a golf ball 
It depends on which ones you use and how tight you wrap them.
Ive never used sleeves

stumbled over to the water fountain, drank some water and felt better. Then I stumbled out of the gym and got some fresh air and almost felt 100%. It was just strange. I decided to call it a day after that. After just one excercise. Felt real soft. Damn near passed out at the gym today.
Freaked me out because I go to the gym 4 times a week and lift heavy and this is the first time this has happened.
Did some squats at 295 and it felt good. Felt them GAINZ forming.
Did 4 sets of 10 and then I tried to walk to the next spot to do some calf raises. All of the sudden my legs went all Bambi on me and I almost fell. Sat down and just felt dizzy and felt like I was about to throw up :x this feeling wouldn't go away but I was determined. I was not about to be that dude taken out of the gym on a gurney.
I think it had to do with the nose bleeds I had during the night. My building puts out dry *** heat in my apartment for some reason.
All bad. Anyone ever something like this happen to them?
thanks. Much appreciated
