[Capebuffalo]

LMFAO!!!in all honesty cape its usually 6shots...and I did post a pic of my wife's ass earlier in the comp on this thread not sure what page but check it out she's wearing camo booty shorts' its pretty sweet...

I remember. That’s why I asked for the dirty ones you lucky bastard.

[ghettoboyd]

You know you are getting older when sex is on a schedule.

OMG brother that is so true.... there is very little spontaneity anymore its like we make appointments...at least once a month ill bend her over the couch and just take it...she is always receptive to it, in fact I think she likes it she has never gotten mad after...

bahahaha!! you rock cape!!!

[RaginCajun]

Don't be modest
If you or Tarzan don't win I am gonna start a riot and pluder villages and call people nasty names.

I can forgive blindness but not asenine stupidity.
Most fat loss =Tarzan
Most muscle gain/fat loss = charger

First place is a bitch to choose between you and Tarzan.

I can place everyone else quickly with MS being a cloooose #3. I think many are overlooking him tbh.

I’ve been called nasty a few times

So what you are saying is I could get 21 pts plus the 9 I have for a total of 32. Hell yeah.
The King is dead. Long live The Buffalo. Ha ha.

Kidding. I deserve a zero across the board. The top 5 guys are where they should be. Now just jockeying for position.

I somewhat agree, but ms should be ahead of me. Him and diesel are real close, either one could be 3rd or 4th

You are in my top 3.

[cousinmuscles]

Figured I'll write-up my experience, might be interesting, might not but here are my 2c.

Previously to this diet that started on January 2, 2018, I had been eating ridiculous amounts of food trying to gain weight. I got stuck at 195# no matter how much I tried to eat chips and cookies. What this did, psychologically, is that it made me tired of eating. I, honestly, could not stand food! This made it so easy to start the diet as not feeling like I was about to barf all the time due to a full stomach was a relief and just made me feel good. The first 8-weeks or so was super easy. I use IF, and Keto combined and dropped weight in a fashion I had not seen before. As my training includes an unusually high amount of cardio the fat was decreasing day by day, and it felt like progress was smooth. At this juncture, almost from one day to the next, I got hungry, and this was when I introduced a cheat day. That helped for 2-weeks in a row, but after that, the cheating was on and off, and I used 40h fasts to keep me on steady levels, and that helped until the last 1 1/2 - 2 weeks when it's been on and off all the time. Still not figured out exactly how to stay at this level but more muscle mass should help as I am, generally speaking, a pretty small guy at 5'8" and 175lb with 10.1% body fat. The most prominent improvement for me has been my conditioning capacity. With lower body fat (weight) I have been able to perform at a higher level this year, and my global ranking is 1000+ better than last year which puts me in the top 88% of the world.

I'm struggling with where to go from here regarding improving body physique which will have the best effect on my performance but I'll figure something out. Already know I am going to struggle to stay at this body fat level, but I am going to try.

One last note: This competition has been beneficial to me. We always talk about life getting in the way, and it is, but most of the time we get stuck in our minds which is why I am not looking even better at this juncture. Seeing, and hearing, the honesty from you fellas on the struggles puts things in perspective and I hope we all succeed in the way we want to, whatever that means to each one of us as individuals.

It's been a pleasure!

Very nice statement, good job on your crossfit improvement too.

Try just going above maintenance calories and keep your head calm, don't worry about it, you won't gain a lot of fat. Your metabolism will speed up from the increase in food anyway. Keep training for gains and let your body reset and go for a cut much later, this time starting at a lower bodyfat level... since you have documented so much you have data to look back on and try and improve your protocols. I did like 3 cuts in 2016 just to get it right and one in 2017 which I still did mistakes in but yielded good results, no muscle/strength loss. My problem is I have a huge appetite lol during my cuts I eat lots of veggies just to stuff myself and go on with life without hunger pangs.

Thank god you declined being a judge, I'd never pick a judge with this kind of temperament and personality, I would never have asked had I known. Irresponsible of you to use these kind of ways to persuade others into not picking someone you dislike personally.

Hmm nope actually, even if you got 1st place from all three remaining judges, tarmyg would need last place (0pts) from all three, and then if charger gets second last he beats you. But there is a theoretical chance you get top 3. If you already knew their paypal addresses or something you could give them a tip.

It was a joke Mr. Cousin.
Don't go stirring shit.
I have every pm you ever sent me.
Final warning.
I know what you are and I am not the guy you want to play your twoface shit with spanky.

You know you are getting older when sex is on a schedule.

That is so true. Last night wife tried to barter sex for a back rub. I was too tired so I just took a rain check on the sex. I need that TRT to kick back in! Yoga pants cant even turn my head at this point.

Today's work out: Get in the truck, out of the truck, in the truck, out of the truck, etc. And to finish it off, I did lift some heavy steel to place on a pipe that two young bucks could not do by themselves so I did it for them while they went to find help. Diet was great but all the getting in and out of the truck has be worn out, plus dealing with all the "bosses" that were on site and the typical BS that goes with having all the "bosses" on site.

I think everyone needs to be in first place and get a ribbon or a trophy!!

A little bit better Cape.

I do not want to take away from any of the competitors or the winner (whoever it may be). I am going to start a new thread “ on the road to my first NPC”. I would like competitors, judges, and any one else to criticize or assist me in my journey. I am like a sponge right now. Sometimes it is the simple comments that make a difference. I would even like comic relief because I have not yet mastered the mental aspect outside of the gym. DLP I expect you to keep me real and not fully absorbed!

I think you are my hero. 72 years old looks like he is in his prime, cut and built as fuck!

[almostgone]

Bullshit!. I had a harder time placing anything other than the first 3. I was serious when I said I literally had hours trying to decide on rankings. LOL, I sat at my desk comparing pics, writing down rankings, then sitting it to the side and repeating the process. That was in addition to the time I spent at lunch/break time @ work. Seriously not an easy task.
Everyone made great strides so it wasn't an easy at all.

Feel free to post pictures like that at anytime, always appreciated!

Now work has leveled off, other than the new "superintendent" that I call high speed, I will be back at the gym and able to get more workouts in. I knew this new job was going to mess up my workout for this comp. Wife did go to that early class with the chick with the huge boobs and is so tiny. She called me after the class just to talk about her and how she can stand up with tits so big on such a small frame. And she confirmed they are real. She saw her in the locker room.

Better Charger. But..... let’s get that right calf flexed like the left one. Also let’s not dip that left shoulder so much. Turn a bit more at the waist. Just a little more. Level the left shoulder and roll it back.w Show the width of your chest with the thickness.

My .02 for what it’s worth.

Thanks man! I saw it and knew about the twisting but The other things are great feedback. I am used to posing in front of a mirror but I didn’t have a mirror. I need to get the feel down.
I have one pose that I added to my routine that I have no idea how to do correctly that I will post because I am sure that you can assist.
