Dat feeling when women start touching you while saying "... There's something different about you"

:megusta:

I would throw a row in there too and something for your shoulders. Pullups are good for your back but a row is better. You basically just described the 5x5 program.

Berz out.

Dat feeling when people start calling you "Big Guy" :fuckyea:


My parents came up to visit to me. It's the first time I've seen them in over a year. They stayed at my place and when I came out of the bathroom after my shower I had no shirt on and my mom said "Are you doing steroids again?" :megusta:

No juice and I'm pretty stoked with my progress :alonehappy:

Chest part 2 today gonna tear up that incline

3 weeks without working out and counting. First the slipped disk and now I've been decimated with the flu. FML.

Yup I'm in the same boat as you, so far I manage to drop 10 lbs since I got back to the gym, so far I'm about 8 weeks consistent.

I used to have a belly, but it's gotten flatter since then.

As for the love handles...:rukidding:

Wide, or narrow? I usually did rows back in the day. With pull ups and rows I imagine for a basic workout routine my back would be covered. I was also very surprised at how when you do squats as part of your routine you basically don't need to do much else for core.

I've been lifting since age 16 but it was never for strength, more of "fitness". I started hardcore lifting for strength in university and I've been doing so for 3 years or so. I started at 225lb squat, 205lb bench, 315deadlift. I figure I add about 100lb to my lifts everyyear but my bench is shit:heckno:

@Tunny: I first saw fat loss in my face, then my arms became more defined along with shoulders/traps/back. Now just working on my fathandles and imaginary 6 pack.

If your doing Barbell rows the grip you use should be as wide as your bench grip. That is the ideal row for a simple workout. Squats work your core big time.

Berz out.

Wish I could get past this 80lbs incline db press plateau when i'm by myself...at this rate i'll have to be over 200lbs to get to the 100's.

Yay newpr

So I have a question about carbs and cutting:

I'm trying to cut from 190 to 170 (then get to 176 lean) while also training for the Sun Run. Been running 6miles 2 times a week. My diet has been pretty much no carbs, lots of chicken, veggies, fruit. My only real carb is my peanut butter oatmeal in the morning.

Last night some friends came over who I haven't seen in awhile and we ate chinese food. There was fried rice, noodles, etc. I remember reading that cheat days are good for your diet, and you should maybe have one 1-2 times a month. So I cheated, atee rice and noodles, but not a whole lot.

Today I went for my run and I felt amazing. Stopped at 6 miles with a record time, could def have gone on for longer (I wish I had). When I was changing to go home, I was thinking that it was most likely my carbs I ate last night (all that goodness).

Should I be trying to eat more carbs everyday? Should I be cycling carbs on different days? I don't count calories...I tried but it became too much work to keep track. All I know is that I've been eating A LOT of eggs, lol.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the advice. I will keep up the protein and BCAA's.

"Cycling" is not an option.. I have never even taken creatine!!

I am currently - > 5'10 174lbs @10% (measured at bodycomp imaging last week)

Thanks SP for the reply!

Make sure it's leucine, as you can get a high dose of it easily. (and btw for folks IFing, be sure not to take leucine by itself while fasting, it can cause hypoglycemia easily, which is not very fun before a workout). If you go the full BCAA route, you will need to make sure you are taking enough to get a high dose of leucine. Look for one that has a high leucine ratio in that case.

An easy way is to get something like a BCAA pre workout drink, and add a scoop of pure leucine to it.

Here are some studies that show that leucine can significantly slow protein degradation:

Potential antiproteolytic effects of L-leucine: observations of in vitro and in vivo studies

Orally administered leucine stimulates protein synthe... [J Nutr. 2000] - PubMed - NCBI

I think i'm done with running, i'll stick with sprinting for now but haven't even done that for a while either

I just thought there's no point in killing yourself going for that 10km, but you know to each their own

$100 on groceries today.. set for the next 2 weeks on 5x5.

Good read imo: T NATION | Truth About Bulking

My diet is where im struggling right now. I used to think i ate a lot, but after counting im really not eating enough :okay:
Finding it a bit hard to throw in the extra food, but i think once i get the hang of it ill be fine.
Going to be on a clean "bulk" for the next few months, like the article says, and see how well this goes
