Official January 2019 Competition

[almostgone]

damn. now i feel like ive made zero progress, fuck sakes..

anyways, just had my ultrasound done my shoulder with xrays on both, shoulder and knee... friday i should find out my results.. which will most likely be NEXT friday to actually hear from the doctor. gotta love the health system here..

so, what do you guys think, if i need surgery, do it? i don't wanna be outta commission. i gotta keep making my gains.

Fix it now so you can grow later, IMHO.

[Gallowmere]

Why so many one rep max outs?
Is it just to mark progress?

Haven’t done it since July and wanted to know where I am.

Also, I hate myself apparently. Wanted to see just how well I can still perform while heavily depleted. Miserable as fuck, but that old “train low compete high” thing.

I’ll probably do the same thing after my second cycle as well, once some different compounds are in play and I have a better idea of which weight class I should be in. I’m not stupid enough to think Test should be the main driver for a weight restricted competition.

[timetolift5]

oh yes. always. i would only go to a social gathering if i had 1 person to stay by. after a few drinks than, i am fine.

another issue i was having at home was, my sister and her boyfriend. her boyfriend is emotionally, mentally, abusive. a slob. lazy. you know.. all the bad things i don't want my son being around. i did my best to not say shit. even though, i've told her plenty of times, he has to go. he isn't worth it. etc. etc. etc. ... today was my final straw. i lost it on him, i kicked him out. i don't care if my sister will hate. and i feel bad for stepping in but, this was part of my anxiety. and i am hoping she can understand that, this shit can't be around her nephew. if they want to continue their relationship. by all means. just not here with my son. and me.

You definitely did the right thing imo. Get the toxicity out of your life.

[timetolift5]

that's really good!!! what are you talking about!!!

He’s really hard on himself and demands excellence in everything he does. He’s ridiculously strong for the amount of time he’s been training and I have to remind him of it sometimes. Smartest and hardest working guy I know although he will never admit to it.

[timetolift5]

Hey. I got out of bed today. What about me?

Dude sometimes just getting to the gym is a victory lol. This cut is seriously fucking with my sleep. Might have slept 1 full nights worth over the last 3 days but I doubt it

[Old Duffer]

Getting close!

Don't forget all after pics must be submitted April 1st











;-)

[guitarzan]

Ya way to many distractions in the gym ... that will be my excuse if I don't win! This is what I have been doing at the gym the last two days. Is this better?

Guess who showed her how to do pull overs and watched her to make sure her form was good.

Damn, that would send me to the stand up tanning bed (the jack off chamber)

Ah ok man some reason I thought you were doing it every month. What's your total so far?

[Gallowmere]

Ah ok man some reason I thought you were doing it every month. What's your total so far?

1220 so far. Still a but shy of Class I for 198, even for a tested lifter. So yeah, got a ways to go yet.

[Stalker3060]

LMFAO.

WHY?!

Are you sending them nudes?

Very impressive mate

Well all you would have to do is ask her which of the 4 local strip clubs she is currently working at and you could have her take care of the deed for you in a private dance room. Like my user name says BEen THere DOne THat (BETHDOTH)

Strip club pics or didn’t happen.

Disrespecting your elder again! I guess you will have to trust me on this one. Also what woman dresses like that to go to the gym? Basically a bra and her huge fake tits(aka money makers)!

No no. All due respect. Lol First thing I said was that’s just a bra. Not even a sports bra. Againyour gym is better than my gym.

I have a little over a week. I’m not where I want to be. Last year I did a comp prep with lowering carbs, dehydration, etc. I am not doing that this year. I am too old to do it now and again in a month.

Buddy a lot can happen in a week at your level. Stay focused. Stay the course. Do what you have to to stand up there and have no regrets. You got this.

Stand proud! No one will diss you for losing this comp. You did your best and that's all that matters!

And we all understand how hard this is at your age Cape. You have my respect. It hurts me most to beat you. Sry buddy.

Welcome back kitty...
You took pbdc with you, what have you done with her?

[Couchlockd]

What ya bench?

[Gallowmere]

What ya bench?

270. I have absurd gorilla arms and can almost scratch my knees without bending over. Makes for a decent deadlift, but shit bench, or at least one that’s going to take a lot more work.

ETA: I MIGHT be able to push more, but I train completely solo, so not having any form of handoff often prevents me from being in what I feel would be completely ideal positioning. Either way, I’ll just keep dealing with it and see where things go.

Bout time!

It sure is gonna be funny when us old farts whip all yall youngsters next week!

Well there are 3 old farts in bulk. The kids are all starving themselves for most Improved lol

[Proximal]

So for those going for the bulk, is it judged simply by size put on on all muscle groups? Is separation & balance taken into account (no Obs, this is NOT an anti mass-monster comment)? With GH’s help, I’ve just gotten my metabolism & appetite back & am looking forward to really eating again after this cycle.

Serious question, I’d possibly like to give this a shot if you have the competition next year. I have been trying to plan out the year already in preparation.

Thank you, appreciated!

[timetolift5]

Losing is not a big deal to me rn given this is my first cycle. I have learned a lot and have noticeably gotten bigger so that’s a win in my book no matter what I place. Getting to know all of you and the learning process alone has been priceless.

[timetolift5]

I know I signed up for most improved but if it’s not too much of an ask would the judges mind judging me for both categories? I haven’t cut off enough weight to really hit most improved in my opinion and being judged for both as well as any feedback I feel would really help me for future cycles. Thanks

See now I may be confused. My idea of MI is literally who improved the most not who lost weight and all that. I definitely bulked not MI. But it is what it is. Just not sure the definition of MI

[Family_guy]

I’ve actaully got some vascularity on my bicep now. That’s pretty exciting
