Sorry, Browngirl and slfmade are supposed to come down, not you and slf, that would probably upset Browngirl.

Yes I am sincerely trying to prepare a "forum/board union" on the 4th of July, right here in Kansas. If you can get here we'll put you up, train you and feed you!

**BrownGirl** · 01-14-2012, 06:29 PM

Haha Tbdy and GGR!!! You both are funny! It sure would be fun if a bunch of us could make it!

**slfmade** · 01-14-2012, 06:33 PM

Tbody...what area of Kansas are you from? You don't have to say the exact town, But North, South, East, West? I've spent a bit of time in Overland Park, and when I lived in Denver I traveled back and forth to Arkansas so I'm pretty familiar with the Wichita to Hays/Colby part of the state.

**SlimmerMe** · 01-14-2012, 08:43 PM

Serious plans happening....

**tbody66** · 01-14-2012, 11:04 PM

Extreme S.W. like 10 miles North of Oklahoma and 30 miles East of Colorado. And I am totally serious. Maybe we can get the "sponsors" to hook us up with some t-shirts and stuff, maybe have an awards show for some of the great mods and contributors to the boards... Like slim!

**slfmade** · 01-14-2012, 11:39 PM

I have a good friend that lives in a tiny town called Boise City OK...that's gotta be pretty close to you. His mom has been telling me for years to come out and she'll make me her famous enchilada's. I guess that can be my excuse to go visit!

Yes, very close to me. I used to be the little debbie delivery guy and delivered cakes to Boise City once a week, I'm an hour and 15 minutes East of there.

I don't even break a sweat on the elliptical anymore....only 2 cardio do it for me. Spinning

and running. I sweat like a guy...seriously...puddles on the floor and when I run my top gets soaking wet so I have to be careful what color I wear on cardio nites. I am a fan of the spinning class; I struggle working out at home cuz there is always something at home waiting to get done!!!

I think we were planning on changing it up after this week. How are your trouble spots and issues coming along?

**--->>405<<---** · 01-16-2012, 10:32 PM

Well bf is still dropping.. Waiting to hear from SteM about diet.. My TSH has gone up a bit and i dont know if its cuz of being on a prolonged low carb diet or if theyre not related.. I may try my hand at a carb cycle.. The fats still dropping and i dont have a great understanding of TSH and its affect on metBolism but maybe i need a carb cycle to kick it in gear.. Ive been on this cut almost 4 months.. I still have more fat i need to drop before i start any kind of bulk...

I am not too knowledgable about all that myself. With the shoulder and knee(if I remember right) issues, I don't know how crazy I'd ever get about too much of a bulk. You just might be in the need for a re-feed. I think Marcus has a good thread somewhere about priming, maybe look for that and see if you can get some information. I would try to keep it as simple as possible, a few things to consider are that small changes can produce big results. Maybe even consider staying completely out of the gym next week and eating like a beast and then coming back in with a slightly modified exercise program and a major change up in the eating program!

**--->>405<<---** · 01-17-2012, 10:48 AM

^^ could u elaborate a bit? Not working out and eating like a beast sounds nice

id hate to regress .. Maybe ill run that by SteM and see what he thinks

I can bulk at some point i hope.. Do i have to go extremely heavy to bulk? Or could i just go heavier and eat in caloric surplus?? My shoulder is doing ok.. Knee is fine for lifting... Ive figd out with bench if i just go strait up and not come in at the top it doesnt hurt shoulder..

**Back In Black** · 01-17-2012, 11:07 AM

T, how you getting on sticking to some form of diet plan? Whens pics?

**Papiriqui** · 01-17-2012, 11:26 AM

Hows it going mr T?? Finally got a minute to jump in front of the laptop.

**Papiriqui** · 01-17-2012, 11:45 AM

Great vids T, just saw them all and they are awesome!!! Hopefully i can put them in my phone this weekend to take a look at them anytime i need!!

A re-feed is like a re-boot, all of the damage from the diet and training, plus all that your body has figured out and compensated for is wiped out. At least that's the plan. I'm not saying that's your answer, but worth checking into. No, I think that Jay Cutler proves you don't have to go heavy to add muscle, of course you'd have to up several doses of several things to make that kind of progress, but still, doable with lighter weights and increased calories.

The diet is difficult due to my schedule to get in the assigned macros, but I am staying consistently at or under my daily calories. I have been posting vids almost daily, that I take that day, so thinking the bodycomposition and overall look in those should give you an idea of my progress. I welcome your critique and input of those vids, it would also be nice for everyone to chime in on bodyfat percentage guesstimates, since my weigh-in vid puts me just under 20%.

I am so very pleased that these are beneficial. I will be doing legs again tomorrow and hope to show the SLDL's and some toe-press options!

**Papiriqui** · 01-17-2012, 12:36 PM

I reckon the scales are't far off mate, high teens I reckon. Btw Tanita suggest that to be measured on their athletic setting that you should be working out 10hrs per week. I used those scales on me and a bunch of clients in the past and they are fairly accurate at tracking your bf levels as long as you are measuring at the same time time of day with other variables the same too, ie water/food intake.

You are definitely looking bigger (in a good way!).
