Old guy making a comeback...

[tbody66]

Lmao, he's only here for this week. Next week, i'll pi$$ all over that guy. =)

you should poop on him too!

Try to cut the sugar out of your coffee. It made a big difference for me.

He refuses to!!!

TB, been meaning to ask you this - did you ever get my PM with the diet, etc? You didn't comment one way or the other - let me know if you didn't receive it and i'll resend.

[tbody66]

I got it and I have promised myself to stick to it religiously beginning next monday. My kids have been here all week, riding with me on my route and so I treat them to whatever they want for lunch and eat dinners as a family while I have them here and my wife doesn't like me being so anal with the little ones here, and I can't blame her, I can get pretty grumpy when I'm dieting strictly. My gym is closed the rest of the week so I am refusing to feel guilty about any of it and I'll just hit it so hard come next year that it will be everything I need it to be. I also finished the last of my gear so I'll need to be even more strict with everything for the next two months, it all works just like it needs to, IMO.

I will take sugar out of my coffee in Feb if there is anything glaring about my lack of progress in Jan.

Cool bro, and no worries - you have the right attitude. Take the week, enjoy life with your family, that's more important then any of this that we do for ourselves. Next week we will all be super focused together.

PS - we can talk in detail via PM's, but I didn't consider your cycle or the fact that you were coming off with that diet. I have you eating at a deficit due to the lack of cardio - i'm now afraid of you losing gains.

Do this - eat AT maintenance leading up to and throughout PCT. ANY cardio you can get in, do it. The more the better. After PCT, we can back off on calories a bit. Adjust macros by just adding a bit to each meal, or make the earlier meals bigger and leave the late ones as is.

Sorry, got ahead of myself here. Too lazy to initiate a PM.

It's all good, brother. I'm going to be spending tons of time on the Challange. Did you catch the title admin gave me under my name?

[First6]

Where's those pics T? Today was the day!

[tbody66]

hectic weekend, I'll post them tonight.

[First6]

Hey T What happened to your thread???
You still on the wagon or what? Where are you at?

[tbody66]

[gettingthere]

Thank you sir, my wife is pretty excited, 44 days til lift-off.

[gbrice75]

I was worried about you for a bit, but glad to see you're still alive, lol! I figured you were wrapped up with the challenge, it's ALOT tougher and more demanding then I expected (wasn't taking it lightly to begin with)!

Don't put TOO much effort into yours though - I mean after all, you're NOT going to win with me and my people in this thing! =P

that's the best I get as a bump?

[tbody66]

exactly five weeks til lift-off for Hawaii, can I be under 10% bf by then, I've had a rough two months!

[Kawigirl]

Someone has a booboo on his leg....from shaving?

I can see a difference in the legs....but I say...hit'em effin harder. I would focus a bit on the hams....balance out the leg a bit more.

Is that good enough tbody????

[gbrice75]

TB - i'm not sure what you want me to comment on here.... you're clearly pushing out your stomach... what was the reasoning behind that?

PS - I do that in the mirror sometimes, then I get disgusted and spit in my own face lmao!

Seriously - you look big, definitely no LBM loss - gains if anything. I'll be honest, i don't see a difference in bodyfat, but who the hell can tell with those poses?

[tbody66]

Hey, if we can't poke some fun at our own self and expense, what's the point, I guess I needed a reminder not to take myself too seriously or maybe just a way to try and cope with the two months of poor eating choices. I certainly didn't expect to lose body mass during that time. Maybe more to get back into the routine of taking and posting pics, anyway, back on the wagon and rolling on!

I myself found this comical tbody....lol

You would NEVER catch a woman doing that...funny how men do!

^^ Very true....posing can be an illusion. You can make parts look smaller, bigger, leaner....more pronounced...anything you want. A trick of the trade!

[First6]

Out of the last few posts this is the only thing I saw.
Comon T! You done playig yet?
Show me some huge results! Shock me!
I know you can.

Nice to know you are looking at my smaller, bigger and more pronounced parts, Kawi! You are the poo!

I haven't learned how to pose (see ANY pics in my thread, lol) - but I have become a MASTER at lighting. They should hire me on an effin holywood movie set as the lighting director!

[tbody66]

I thought I wasn't half bad at the posing thing, but never like any of my pictures when I first see them.

[Twist]

Bro those pictures are ****ed. You are making yourself look larger (in the stomach) than you really are... Nice shoulders and arms but you need to go on a serious cut. I find it hard to believe that these are even recent pictures.

[tbody66]

I was trying to not take myself too seriously, I could hardly keep the pose because my wife was about to wet herself when she was taking them and her lauging made it hard for me not to.

[tbody66]

Lifting going great this week, trying a few "new" things, well not really new, just mixing it up a bit. Also had a whole body deep muscle tissue hour long massage, that's nice! The therapist was telling me about something called "cupping" anyone had any first hand experience with this? I'm scheduled for a session next monday, so I'll let you know how it goes.

[Kawigirl]

I've heard of cupping.....but...I have a sneaky suspicion...its not what your referring too...lol

[scotty51312]

yeah if a massage therapist mentions cupping, I'm thinking she's offering me a happy ending t.

Do tell!!!

If you looked like me you'd get offers for happy endings on the street from chicks that look like models!

Lucky bastard!

Scotty's never actually been offered that, he's just saying!

Seriously though, guys, google cupping and tell me what you think, or just wait til next week and I'll tell you what I thought about it overall. The therapist is thinking of incorporating it weekly with my massage if I decide to enter and prep for a show.

[tbody66]

I was reading about the three week arm program to add an inch in 21 days and thinking about trying it when I get back from Hawaii. Has anyone done it yet?

[tbody66]

Here's my pic a few hours after my first "cupping" therapy session.

Fvck that! I never put much merit into any of those 'get big quick' programs!

Oh, and based on your cupping pic, congratulations - you're officially weird!

Good to see a familiar thread btw... this section seems to have been plagued lately, I can't keep up!

As if there was any doubt about my weirdness. And I know what you mean, I often have to find the Familiar threads on page two.

[tbody66]

anyone here that lives in Hawaii and wants to get together for a workout when I'm there let me know!

[Kawigirl]

Is Canada close enough for ya?
