First I must say that I lose and gain weight super quick, almost effortlessly at time. Its a blessing and a curse.
The way I got down to 185 was simply by changing what I ate on daily basis and sticking to it. I used to go to the gym the same amount that I do now, but I did not watch what I would eat at all. I could eat few slices of pizza for breakfast, some pasta for lunch and go out for steak later on. This of course be combine with my normal workout ingestion of whey, or back then weight gainer.. I had abundance of calories going on.
One day I just didn't want to look like I did anymore. I didn't have a gut hanging over my belt but I new I had some extra weight on. So I decided to lose it.
Took me about a semester of eating clean, and lifting just as much as I was before, plus incorporating the "holy **** cardio day" that I talked about earlier. I got down to 190 by December, and later on to 180.
I hated being 180 pounds, didn't seem like a good number. Plus I was a lot weaker than I was at 220. So this semester I'm slowly gaining weight, but in good clean fashion. I got myself to be almost as strong as I was before, with the exception of leg strength. I miss that the most. Squats used to be my favorite exercise because I could put up 405 pounds on the bar and go to town with it. Now I struggle when I approach 300, its mentally disturbing... But I'll get there.
I did it for cosmetic reasons reason, I didn't like the look of uncut 220 lbs.. 185 is much, much better. My gf agrees

Yea, but for me, lifting for the "cut" look is stupid and guido like. I like being bulky but not fat. Its all personal preference I guess.

It is personal preference. I prefer it this way. Plus as I said, I'm almost as strong as I was before with the exception of legs. So the majority of my loss was fat, which is pretty useless.

Yup not downing you, just commenting. The people that do a lot of reps with no weight anger me. I will stop ranting, lol.

I dislike them too! I'm not a fan of being in the gym for a long time so I rarely do more than 8 reps per set. Which means I have to go heavy most of the time, to cut my time at the gym.
I also dislike people who don't to legs... They look funny.

matt i can teach u good leg workouts you can do with dumbells. but this is the reason why i joined a gym, i have a squat rack at home but i need to buy more weight. i squat 345 at the gym and deadlift 35...and those are compound excersizes and are really good...like the benchpress is for chest.
as for looks...i know what u are talking about the guido look. im not a big fan either but if you have size and your body fat is low you are going to look like that...hence body builders lol.
more reps less weight is BS...some say "oh it will help me get toned"..BS. working out muscles is working out muscles. i mean i guess it may help if u go out of breath and get a cardio workout but there are better ways to get cardio

i do....mostly with the smith machine though. dumbells take a lot of control. i could put up like 150 with the smith....but dumbells maybe 50 each arm.
