Looking good in the above pics big triceps and lean man , I'm strong but need to do more leaning but I've travelled a long long way from were I started

Thanks man. I'm sorta lean....mid section needs a lot of work. Need to get my head into cardio. Lol :/

[DCI]

The leaning out process, from my experience is a slow and long road with many turn offs to help you give but fck me when you shred the fat off you slowly the results speak for themselves it certainly has for me. Also the fat always comes off from the top down and the mid is always the slowest area to loose the stubborn lbs

Everyone thinks I'm heavier than I am and I actually am lighter than when I started by 22lb's in weight.

How much do you weigh DCI If u don't mind me asking..

And yeah I'm kinda the opposite...always been small before so all the bulking has gone to the mid section lol . Just gotta be sticker on how clean I eat.

[DCI]

I am currently 220lb's so decent weight need to strip some fat and I'll be happy. I was previously 240/2 lb 's but quite a bit more bf rate tbh and as I said, I look better feel better and lifts are all up due to this thread and getting my head in gear around nutrition and the importance of seeing food as fuel to better aid my progress etc

Its all about consistency and hard work esp if you are a slow gainer of muscle like me

Same here. At 52, the problem is multiplied by 10. Add to this a hispanic wife who loves to make tortillas....good luck with that

Damn great job man. Sick delts they look big man. Impressive lines u have there.

Triceps shot. Lean everywhere except for midsection as u can see. Poor diet and no cardio at all. Lean bulk planned with tren for the summer. I'm not coming off for a while. Its what I choose. Still 500 test and maintanence cals. My avi angle makes it out I have no triceps. Had to share. Since I've lowered test seems traps and rear delts have gotten smaller . I'm not sure. Great to see everyone here progressing. Love this place its my hideout from reality lol

Since you don't want to come off, have you looked into the 'sling-shot' method of cycling posted in a sticky by Ronnie Rowland?

Looking nice and cut btw brother.

[marcus300]

Only hit 2 training sessions this week before my ulcer/acid reflux flared up. Gotta get to the doc to get it sorted. The next couple days will be intense, and the body fat keeps heading down but not as fast as I feel it should. Still hanging at an even 180 for the moment.

Hitting legs in a few hours. Was planning go hit them yesterday but we had high winds and when I got home I had 2 trees lying across the driveway. Ended up spending some quality time with my chainsaw and dragging the trees out to the field.

[DCI]

Thats a leg workout in itself lol

I have read some of the thread but not in depth. Ill give it a look man thanks

[almostgone]

Bodyweight squats to warm up knees-3 sets
Leg press 2w/u, Work1-6-4-3(new weight but will bump it up again), Work2-drop weight-6-4-2
Power thrust-2 w/u, Work-12-5-4. Bump this one up next session.
Hack squats-2 w/u, Work-6-4-3. Will nudge this up. Maybe the knee problem is mainly flexibility related. The bodyweight squats seemed to have helped a tad.
Calf raises-2 w/u, Work1-12-7-3, Work2-drop weight-17-11-8-failure. Maybe I dropped too much weight?
Jefferson squats 1 w/u, Work-7-3-1.

Legs are on fire...

[marcus300]

My back really hurts, starting to limp this week. This isn't good time for some relief

[almostgone]

Hope your back eases off, Marcus. Is it from being up on your feet @ work all day or lifting related?

Its an old injury from around 15 years ago, I haven't really been training that much around 2-3 times per week at the moment and ive been leaving some lifts out what would cause me more pain, I have been sat down a lot at the computer during the day which could be causing me grief. I am getting old and tired maybe its time to go to the doctor and see what he can do for me but every time I go anywhere and they look at me they say stop training for a few months and I think to myself " yeh you stop fuking eating for a few months see how you like it " Its all down to my old power lifting days when I shifted some serious poundage to feed my ego and the gym spectators, totally stupid looking back and to even think about doing 1 rep max now is insane and retarded does nothing for bodybuilding.

[marcus300]

Going gym see how I feel

time to get serious

Ah yes....about those. I think we've all completed lifts just for the pure shock value @ one time or another.
The reason I asked about being on your feet is you put in a lot of hours like I do ( and many in this thread). I'm either standing on a concrete floor in one spot for long periods of time machining or crawling all over machinery working on it ( not a pretty sight). Anyway, I've found that if I buy several pair of work boots and rotate through them instead of wearing just 1 pair continually, it is somewhat easier on my back and knees.
Hopefully your back will loosen up/ get right for you soon.

Hitting arms this afternoon....looking forward to.it.

[Rusty11]

...but every time I go anywhere and they look at me they say stop training for a few months and I think to myself " yeh you stop fuking eating for a few months see how you like it ".

HA! Classic.
Hope you can get this sorted out.

Hello guys, long time since i was on here. I did what i said i wouldnt and let my time off with my op get the better of me. Anyway trained today for first time in nearly 5 month. Felt great to get back at it, weight was right down but ill get it back up there. I look like a bag of shit at the minute all soft and lost muscle tissue.

[kelkel]

Glad you're back sawyer! Take it easy in the gym for a while. Don't push to hard and get yourself hurt. Give yourself time to re-acclimate to it.

[kelkel]

My knees talk to me. Usually after a warmup set i can tell if im going to need the compression or not. A simple good tight ace bandage seems to work best for me but ive gotten lazy and bought neoprene. Can anyone tell me the benefit of the exposed kneecap?

Your knee cap floats. There is no added support from wrapping it and it can actually cause damage with to much compression.

Side note....giving blood question on cycle. How often should it be done? And when u get blood work is that sufficient enough or not? Also does it make a difference if you give blood right after a workout? Giving blood on cycle keeps your blood from thickening am I correct ? Always do my cycle blood work but have never gave blood before....but always hear everyone say u should.

I'd suggest right before, in the middle and post cycle. I'd also suggest giving blood on a non-workout day so your body has time to recoup.

From my understanding you can take prescribe medication with you.

Yep. Personally, I just got back from an overseas vacation in the middle of which I'd need a TRT shot. I packed what I needed, syringe, alcohol pads, band aid and a script bottle of test with just enough in it for my shot. Never take a full bottle just in case something goes wrong in transport, etc. Packed in in my checked luggage. No worries.

I think you fvckers have given me some kind of sickness. I did legs this morning and crawled out of the gym. I actually broke blood vessels in my eyes. As I was struggling just to stand up in the shower, I realized that I was pissed off at myself and thinking I could have tried harder and gone a little deeper on my last squat.

Now your training!

At least your back. That's what's important.

So this weekend was kind of a weekend of mixed emotions. Friday some 21 year old kid told me "I looked like one of those guys who could have been big back in the day." It kinda pissed me off, I'm not the biggest guy in the gym but i'm 5'11 215lbs and around 16%bf so I'm not by any means a toothpick.

Anyway I finally broke down and ordered some gear, Haven't cycled in about 2 years now.

On the bright side I had a good chest workout incline DB i did 105's for 8 reps, which may be a personal best I can't remember.

Now that gear is on the way I've got more motivation for cardio

[almostgone]

Running behind as usual....

Standing EZ curl-2 w/u, Work-7-4-2.5
Incline d'bell curl-2 w/u, Work1-7-3-2. Work2-drop- 6-2-2. Will bump up the weight on first set and maybe lose the 2nd set next time.
Preacher d'bell curl-Work-7-3-2. Bump this one up.
Seated hammer curl-1 w/u, Work-5-3-2
D'bell wrist curls-2 sets to failure
Triceps pressdown-2 w/u, Work-7-3-2. ....up.
D'bell skullcrushers-1 w/u, Work-6-3-1
Close grip press-1 w/u, Work-8-4-4. ^ on this weight too.

[marcus300]

2 working sets of incline flyes with incline press

2 working sets of flat flyes with flat db press

I flinched when I saw the supersets.

I flinched when I saw the supersets.

I have emotional pain within me I need to get out one way or the other, training is "one way" I do it, I don't want to open the "other way"

I train with insane intensity and overload my body to the extremes............I'm not well

LOL, I can relate.....That's why I'm so glad to be getting back into lifting. It allows.me to do a little mental "housekeeping/ tidying up"

When you have a GH gut its best to train it

If that's all it took, I would have told you that months ago.

Haha. Thanks cape, nothing like a shot to the ego to motivate me to make gains
