nope for strong weights. lifting bored me a bit and i have no desire to really pursue it. i'm much more of a fan of sports for exercise. doing ultimate frisbee, martial arts, rock climbing, playing football, etc, is waaaaaaaaay more fun for me. as far as great aesthetic shape, sure...but i can definitely attain that by rock climbing and running/other cardio (and have).

I was fat until my senior year of college (between 240-265 and 6'2") when I decided I didn't want to be fat anymore. So I started doing 30 minutes of elliptical everyday, and slightly (and I do mean slightly) cutting back on my caloric intake. It was like 5 pieces of pizza instead of 6 and whatnot. I lost ~70 pounds in a year doing this.

I just turned 28, and haven't been more than ~200 pounds since. And I've probably put on about 20 pounds of muscle since I was 175 right out of college.

Nobody ever gave me crap about being fat. I never had any health problems/knee problems. I just decided on my own that I wanted to try something different.

Now I am moderately health conscious. I still eat burritos most nights, but I don't get sour cream/cheese. I eat a salad for lunch most days, and things like greek yogurt/apple slices for snacks.

I think it would be hard to get fat again. I feel so disgusting when I don't work out... it's like I haven't showered in days. I also suffer from some ADHD and depression (which is a big FU in the winter) and working out provides great relief for both of those things.

Currently I work out probably 13/14 days, probably for an average of 40 minutes. 2-3 days a week I will go lift and do some light cardio, the other 4ish days I will do cardio. I'm also training for a marathon.

So I found it easy to be fat, until I realized I didn't want to be fat anymore. Now I would find it hard to be out of shape. I also have a lot of free time so working out isn't a nuisance like if I were working 60 hours a week, where then I would start to weigh my free time vs my appearance.

I'm also currently trying to figure out whether or not I want to keep lifting weights. I've done it for about 4 years now pretty regularly, but considering my main sports are running/golf, I don't stand to gain much from being jacked. I'll probably start reducing weight and increasing reps at some point soon, it's just hard to break your routine of many years.

I have gamed heavily throughout my whole life.

if you rock climb you're gonna be ripped like a bodybuilder who only did purposeful movements which is cool and which is what i recall you look like :P

roddy buckets or russell westbrook is what i'd like to look like, although the white version 2 inches shorter. i'm at 153 now after gaining 5 lbs this past week (woop) idk if i could get to 185-187 where they're at... that'd take a lot

i'm very good about always using the prehab workout from core performance (check out their site) and most importantly the worlds greatest stretch (this guy does it so much better than me holy ****, i've been doing this for like 4 years or something). it's also called forward arm to instep, and it stretches your hips when you're really low and is really amazing. i then do hand walks and a bunch of other core performance **** including a ****ton of calf stretches then either do some core performance weight lifting or just play basketball or skateboard at one of my 3 local free parks or in the park by my house which is the dopest spot around... afterwards i try to do as much of this "active isolated stretching" or AIS as possible, and then every night i do "foam roller" exercises but with a pcv pipe, which i got cut myself at a hardware shop for like $3 and which i'd highly recommend.

basketball and skateboarding are huge factors in my getting healthy. it's hard for me to hit the gym every day so i need skateboarding and running my dog. everything needs a purpose. i made a resolution this year to take no days off from intense physical activity and i'm finding i think 1 day to regenerate my knees is necessary or i just need to ice and elevate them more.

as far as nutrition goes i go to the local h-mart which is so badass and get some mackeral with the shiniest scales possible because that means they're strong and definitely river fish, afaik, for $3/lb, and then some random greens for less than $2 and eat that every day sometimes substituting calamari steak or salmon. i just stuff my face with raw greens as often as possible during the day. i was gorging on sweets every night bc i am a substance abuser, but i'm getting over that, and red wine is a nice substitute for something sweet. sugar is just an addiction imo... all my sugars come from chlorophyll filled things (and tons of beer).

as far as sleep related issues i'd say waking up in the morning and getting loads of sunlight in your eyes instead of remaining indoors for a few hours is of supreme importance in developing a sleep-wake cycle. alcohol is bad for getting to sleep. melatonin works really well.

sitting for prolonged periods of time causes something wrt your bodies ability to process glucose or something correctly and it's not good for your heart and probably many other things, so take breaks, and when i take a break i really like to hit the floor or roll around on a physioball or pvc pipe rather than just walk around the house. keeping good posture is so important and improves my health in some way i can't put my finger on... i'm a huge posture nit and when i see other people with bad posture it just makes me sick feeling.

if you develop RSI you need to just youtube how to stretch out your forearms then go buy some carpal tunnel wrist brace and use that for a while and you'll be fine.

OP,

I think your best bet for making a living involving fitness and starcraft would be to try to find a team house who would hire you to be the on-site team trainer.

Finding a team that has enough money and motivation to do this might be difficult, but if it hasn't already happened, I'm sure at some point there will be a team house with a training on the full time payroll.

Not sure if this is anything you're interested in doing, just throwing it out there. I don't think a website mixing starcraft and fitness has much of a chance to be anything big unless the forums somehow blow up. (which is obviously very unlikely although not impossible)

so now to spam you have to appear naive and deny any sense of logic.
good job!

Mostly diet.

I naturally tend to eat poorly but I notice if I've gained a few pounds and enact austerity measures.
