Old guy making a comeback...

[tbody66]

It's esitmated that between 2-3% of the entire world can bench over 300lbs.

Just say'n.


Think about it. I think the % is high.

What percentage of those are men?

Luckily I prefer feet on the ground. I've tried feel in the air as well as on the bench, and in both cases I felt awkward, like I was gonna roll off the bench or something. Definitely feel solid with feet on the ground.

Give it a shot again T!

All-Right, if it makes you feel better.

[Twist]

Valid, agreed, hey wait, are you saying I'm a wuss cause my bench is so weak?

Not saying that at all. How did you come to that conclusion bro? I haven't tried bench press, nevermind max bench, for so long idk how strong that bench even is. I am pretty positive my max bench is not over 250. So I guess I am the wuss!

I didn't come to that conclusion, I was just playin'. Need to get my post count up you know! Hey, no worries, Jay Cutler doesn't do flat bench either, I hear he's pretty near the top of his field.

Yeah but he takes muscletech so he's cheating.

I wish there was a resource out there that posted their exact cycles. It's funny how often that it is quoted "the top ten bodybuilders" do this, think about how much and how often they take things. Studies have shown that men who take testosterone injections and don't work out gain more lean muscle mass than those who workout and don't take steroids. When I was very young and my body produced massive amounts of chemicals I did really stupid things in the gym and got bigger and stronger.

Good day on the diet, slept in a little, not completely recovered from being a little ill monday, had to work late, gym closed when I got home. Looking forward to pics again before and after Thanksgiving!

Me too. I love pic days haha.

[gbrice75]

I hate pics day. Never see a difference, so i'll just post and not look, let you guys do that. Ok, that's a lie - obviously go through them with a fine toothed comb to be sure and get the best ones lol!

[Twist]

Haha. Everyone does the same thing.

[tbody66]

I always can't stand them when I first take them and compare, then they kinda grow on me. I still wouldn't want to stack them up against anyone elses, but I can usually find something to be positive about as it relates to my personal progress.

Then you make it your avy pic and it woods you up every time you get a glimpse of it and think, dang, I wish I was that sexy beast.... oh wait, I am that sexy beast!

With your avy, how could you???

[Twist]

I disagree with you guys completely. I think I look great in real life, but when some bastard like marcus or fireguy post next to me I go back to the drawing board... assholes

And pretty soon you guys are gonna pass me up.

LoL Twist, I hear you. I hate looking at Marcus' new avy.... I know i'm starting to sound homo because this is like the 4th time i'm commenting on his guns... but wtf dude... THICK. Then I look at my string beans and vomit!

Look at FG's avy and see every fvcking muscle separation and striation.... then I look at my soft white body and vomit - again!

Wait a minute. I gotta get to the bottom of this right now!

I hit the gym today, after missing squats for two weeks, my diet was crap today, up late, ran into problem after problem so missed two meals, bumped my weight up to 275lbs for my squats and got 6 full sets of 10, hip below knee, before my body was done.

[gbrice75]

Don't worry about the diet, it happens. Congrats on the squats!!!

[tbody66]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I think I'm going to post pics wednesday and then wait a week and a half and post again the next weekend, what do you think about that?

[First6]

Gee I wonder what your trying to avoid. LOL
Yeah sounds like a plan. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.

I actually stepped on ths scale today, haven't done so in almost a whole month, and I can see my upper abs a little, so I'm thinking I may be close to that 15% I was trying to get to. I look so much different and thought I'd weigh like 178lbs, I weighed 184.6, and I've sucked up another notch in the belt and lost another inch off the belly.

I'll let you be the judge, I'm taking pics thanksgiving morning and posting, so I'll be looking forward to all the critique so I can dial it in even further starting friday.

Had to work twice as long today making deliveries so I can spend tomorrow with the family, but I'm making up for my lack of posts throughout the day right now.

Bodyfat estimates and honest criticizm wanted!

[scotty51312]

TB looks like you're making excelent progress compared to the beginning pics, lot more curvature in the arms some seperation in the different delt heads developing. Hard to tell without a back double bicept pic but If i were you I would focus on widening out your lats to help with the taper down to your midsection, Wide grip pulldowns/pullups if you're not doing them already. You can tell you've lost some weight around the midsection which makes it a little harder to judge bodyfat so I'm guessing around 15% + or - a point or so. keep up the good work Your bodyfat is a little lower than mine at the moment so i'll be posting up some starting pics on my workout thread soon. Thanks for the advice you've given, I'll be watching you as a motivation to myself.

[Twist]

Great pics bro! Can you get a comparison up if you have time? Like a recap on diet/training and comparison pics? That would be nice for the guys who don't read the whole thread.

[baseline_9]

B4 and after pocs also in he same post

Thanks for all that. I know we are heading to the same place and it's awesome to be traveling together.

I'll work on that all this weekend. I'd still like an estimate on the bodyfat in my current pics!

[19DELTA]

Great pics T. Do you realize (i know you do )how many dudes your age would kill to have your body?

[gbrice75]

Great job T, really man, what noticeable changes on you every pic post! It's me who is scared this time, because I KNOW I haven't made as good a stride as you have!

You're doing excellent bro, just keep doing whatever it is because it's clearly working for you. Respect!
