Good lighting is a terrible thing to waste lol

 

[booneman77]

Holy hella late...

And as for the steak... Post away! Food porn = more gains and is synergistic with all Spartan products and lifestyles.

A new study said so. It's science.

Thats what you gotta do!

Lmao it's those 5 minutes out the week that make the hours of lifting , the dedication of dieting , the pain I put my body through all day everyday, worth it , thanks to those measly 5 minutes that nobody else gives a damn about haha

Absolutely correct sir! I cant tell you how much they mean to me, because at 38, and my determination to kick everyone around me's ass, I am starting to see glimpses of my peak days!! 5 minutes indeed!

Body dysmorphia isn't just for chicks, I think I look small and fat all the time. Then I'll see a picture of me next to my family members and I'm like, damn, I'm a big dude!

Damn right! As long as the family knows who the man is. Kind of like, my Grandpa telling me to watch what I say to my cousin "cause hes a Marine now" and I was in the Navy. So, without hesitation, I went outside, called my cousin over and whooped his ass in the yard. Went back in and said "hey pop, your Marine is laying in the yars cryin for you!" Just gotta let them know who the man is, and you two, no doubt who that is!!

Lmao hell yeah, I get told often "You're so much bigger" "you're huge" but I can't let myself believe it , cuz I know I'm not where I want to be. I'm too far from it but it's what keeps me grinding

 

[Alpha1a]

Sh1t show of a workout today , it was suppose to be a great chest day butttt went to do 5x5 on flat today with my training partner , I've been on incline for past couple weeks so thought id test flat strength to see if it's still all good, weight felt light as all hell, lighter then ever for the first 2 reps and then on the way up something on the top "corner" of my chest right by the arm pit felt like a rubberband snapped at the same time as it was getting rubbed by sandpaper so I dropped down to 225 and could t hit it so just went to a quick back workout and got the **** out, will ice the chest just incase and rest just pissed I had a crap workout but it's all good , got a reality check from my training partner too, said he was told I was looking lean but I look like **** pretty much got size but not lean at all gotta clean up the diet again and add in the cardio like I've been saying but haven't done , guess it's time now

 

[lifted67]

I know you're going to hate hearing this but I think you need to go lighter and less 5x5 strength routines. I think you're stressing the joints too much.

 

[hairygrandpa]

Body dysmorphia isn't just for chicks, I think I look small and fat all the time. ...

Me too.
Asked my wife:" Is it only my perception that I'm short and fat?"
Her answer:" You have no body dysmorphia, you are short and fat."

Goddamn dude, she's as cold as ice.

Now you sound like everyone I know in the real world (all 2 of my friends lol) I know you're right thou that's why I've been sticking to 225-245 on flat and been doing incline for strength but just wanted to have some fun today . This is the problem with always wanting to be bigger and stronger, along with hating to cut with a passion it seems completely against the goal, I just look smaller and weaker

Me too.
Asked my wife:" Is it only my perception that I'm short and fat?"

Lmfao that sounds like what my girl says when I ask stuff like that , when I don't ask I get compliments lol

 

[hairygrandpa]

Goddamn dude, she's as cold as ice.

Yep, love her direct answers. LOL
She sometimes ask: "Wanna eat something?"
Me:"Sure!"
She:" Cook something."

LOL, anyone wanna swap wife's?

Alpha a few months in the 10-15 rep range may do ya good.

I cringe at the thought , problem is even with the goal of 10-15 knowing me I'd want to go as heavy as possible for 10-15 so I'd still be using the same weights just pushing extra reps lol , I mentally can't go under 2 plates for any major lift

 

[deepseajs]

Damn how did I just find this log?! In!

Outstanding! Im going to finish up my Epi Andro, and then do the MST Shred log, and Im at a loss after that. No idea whats in store for me afterwards. Im fully expecting nice gainz from you and lifted67 though.

 

[deepseajs]

I might have to order some of this stuff. Finished my pct a week ago. Still cutting tho, so not sure how a laxo / epicat combo would work, better than taking nothing I would assume. Looking forward to seeing your results!

Too many opportunities haha , there will be a very short LEAN11ng phase and then right back to getting 2 BIG and 2 HARD if you guys know what I mean

I think laxo epi combo would be kick ass for cutting I was told no but I still believe it would maybe right below maintenance and something like ECA I was thinking bout doing

 

[Alpha1a]

Ok ladies and gentleman tomorrow starts back the strict diet I will be cutting out all additional carbs that I've been having and my carbs will consist of fruit rice and veggies . Flax seeds for additional fats and protein will be mostly chicken egg whites and couple scoops of protein I posted the exact diet on another thread I'll link here , calories will be around 3050 daily but I believe my body will adjust real quick to this since I've been dropping slowly and probably around 3300 right now

 

[lifted67]

Alpha be getting jacked.

Indeed he is

 

[Alpha1a]

Lmao thanks fellas ^

here's this mornings shape after a massive beat down of the unwanted step children that are my shoulders and their ugly smaller cousins the traps, finished shrugging 385 on the free bar cuz it feels good lol. Morning weight was 206 should be getting the Hercules at some point this week I believe so this will be the before pic feels good to know I'll be tied down to a strict diet again and I have everything ready. Long day of work ahead so caffeine is definitely on the menu to get through the day

 

[lifted67]

I was hitting my traps with 5 second pauses yesterday on shrugs instead of the usual 2, burn was deep.

I gotta give that a try next shoulder day , I love doing that on the shoulder press machine as a finisher 5 seconds up 5 seconds down with some light weight feels great bro

 

[lifted67]

Today I got back so my traps will get hit through some accessory movements.

 

[FireTitan]

385 AND 5 second pauses? I can only do 350 with a 2 second pause. So either you people suck, Im old or I suck at being old. Lol

 

[Alpha1a]

385 AND 5 second pauses? I can only do 350 with a 2 second pause. So either you people suck, Im old or I suck at being old. Lol

Lol hell no , 385 with 1 second pause if that haha , I'll try 275 with 5 second pause

 

[FireTitan]

Lol hell no , 385 with 1 second pause if that haha , I'll try 275 with 5 second pause

I was referring to you getting 385 and lifted doing 5 second pauses. Gives me something to aim for, yall are beasts!!

 

[Alpha1a]

Looks pretty good though!

 

[JDybya]

More veg to satiate?

 

[hairygrandpa]

Stop posting pics of delicious food, damn, I'm trying to cut here. That's sabotage!

 

[booneman77]

Or less meals/day meaning bigger meals...

 

[Alpha1a]

Or less meals/day meaning bigger meals...

The thing is I don't believe that to be a small meal lmao I've come to terms with the fact that I'm just a fat ass at heart haha I crave cereal and/or nature valley bars or cliff bars I'm just not satisfied till then haha but what I do now to control it is just chug 2 bottles of water after each meal helps get the water in and kills the appetite. It just sucks at first once I get used to being on the strict diet I can go as low as 1500-1600 calories with no issues but that cleaning up phase is the toughest

Lmao it's chicken rice and veggies you can't get cleaner then that! Something I've been doing after seeing a thread about possible benefits is adding unsalted broth to it , gives it great flavor and adds practically no calories
