i see u went with the true tideys this time tbody!

[tbody66]

I love muscle memory, the scale isn't reflecting what I want it to, but my calories have been in check. I feel like I'm thinning out in some places and not in others, maybe even holding some water. I will just keep on and see what happens before I freak out too much.

Yes, 405, I didn't even own a pair, but my wife gave me a 5 back for Christmas and one of them was White. I soooo thought about you when I chose them for the shoot! I took a few more but I'm having a hard time getting them small enough to upload.

figd id move this to ur thread for GB's sake

funny my wife is from illinois and weve been praying that God send her a christian girlfriend and He finally did.. but she lives in illinois they txt and talk on the phone more than she talks to me i think ... she reminded me of that when i told her about you... where i work all my friends r still like i used to be before i became a christian so its a little difficult.. cuz were totally different... i used to be exactly like them and sometimes struggle with temptation from them.. but dont have any "buddies" i hang with that r christians... me and my "step father in law" are kind of friends and do a weekly bible study with some guys trying to overcome their problems as well as learn what it means to walk with the Lord and thats pretty cool.. but still not the same.. plus i work at a port so im around a bunch of dock workers LOL...can be a challenge

God is big and awesome and boundaries aren't boundaries at all to him. Every man needs a Mentor, needs to be mentoring and needs someone on his same level to share things with. Being a Christian is incredibly simple, it's just not easy. At my church this year everyone was challanged to make a 5 degree change, for the better, in the way they did things last year, read the bible 5% more, give 5% more, pray 5% more, visit people in the nursing home or at home who can't get around as easy as the rest of us 5% more, praise and worship 5% more. A big part of all that is making sure your mouth is saying the right things to set the tone, kind of like speaking life into your atmosphere. Ephesians 4:29 tells us "Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." Start speaking life over your marriage, your family, your job, your body, your mind, your relationships, everything, it will make a difference. I have unlimited talk on my phone and a blue tooth headset, so you have no excuse, not only that, but because of my career I am available anytime you need.

Tbody...Believe it or not I just found your log here. Great Job on the transformation so far. After reviewing the routine that you do I think it's time to stop complaining about the routine you put BrownGirl and I on.

Now that you've found me I hope you'll drop by more frequently. I will have to pick up my pace here soon, but I'm trying to get some strength and size, so going heavy early in the week and lighter with more reps thursdays and fridays. Of course Wednesday is Leg day, and I've been trying to make some gains there. I do love to squat.

[slfmade]

Will do! I look forward to seeing your progress.

I just got the videos sent to me in my e-mail, but no sound, and don't know how to do the you-tube thing. I guess I'll google it and find out.

[slfmade]

I'm looking forward to seeing your squat videos. When do you think you might be able to get them up?

[tbody66]

Not what I wanted. Sorry.

[slfmade]

Lookin Good. You should really consider putting together a website with video tutorials and getting some sponsers as a extra source of income. Wouldn't be too hard to put something together.

Where's the special treat you were talking about? I guess I'll find out when I get back. Time to hit the gym...Pray for me!!! LOL

[tbody66]

I did my last set with my shirt off, but the video wasn't being recorded and I didn't have it in me to do anymore.

[Papiriqui]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg7F_...ature=youtu.be Here it is, the sound works here and I used my real name and said steroid.com, so I hope I don't get in trouble. In my other video I said my screen name but I can't get that one uploaded.

Nice vid buddy!!! This will really help me out on following your leg workout. Thanks

That was the plan! I made a video flexing and weighing in, but it was too big to e-mail to me. I'll make some more today of chest/shoulders/tricpes.

good vids tbody u have a nice place to work out in ...

Yeah, very fortunate for being in such a small town in a rural location.

[RaginCajun]

you need to get more depth out of your squat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha! good vid old chap. i remember when i could do that weight, my back won't let me do that much weight anymore.

[tbody66]

I'll work on getting deeper, thank you.

[RaginCajun]

I'll work on getting deeper, thank you.

this is all about strengthening your glutes. i was lucky to have a good coach in high school that showed good techniques and then powerlifting in college helped me even more. i just wish i could go heavy again!

[SlimmerMe]

Great videos Tbody! Well done~ Man that is HEAVY weights.....
