Well put! It is a brain game for me. At my age I know I need to lose some fat for health reasons. This damn women at work always brings baked goods to work! my weakness!! lol
I said no thank you at first! then an hour later I grabbed a homemade cinnamon roll to stash at my desk for dessert with lunch!
Let's start with moderation.I usually eat 2 or 3.
I saw MrKleen73 on one shoulder calling me a fat ass loser and the fat devil on my other shoulder saying you will work that off tonight at the gym! lol

Oh man, you're in a great place to bulk! Eat your heart out (the cleaner you keep it the more food you can eat!) And when you get to a volume thats too high for your stomach, add some dirtier or fattier foods and keep pushing! Super jealous of that

Sounds like a decent plan! Putting in the work! Hope your wrist gets better soon. For most of the guys on here, our wrists are our strongest body parts.

:nutkick::nutkick::nutkick::nutkick::nutkick::nutkick::nutkick: You can't out train a bad diet Cpt. Facetious!
My personal opinion upper body wise is that you are pretty symmetrical and focusing on arms is going to have you looking way too slim front to back. You don't want your arms as thick as your chest front to back. Being "arm heavy" looks ridiculous to me... You don't want your arms overshadowing your lats, pecs, or shoulders... Just focus on getting bigger and hit those legs and the arms should grow right along with everything. I don't think you are at a point were specializing arm isolations as a priority is justified. They are not behind the rest of your development at all. Legs on the other hand I can not tell. I would just push your compounds, and do compounds for triceps as well when possible. Then add in the isolations for extra volume on arms.
Just my opinion, but I think the arms will continue to grow at a good pace with the rest of your body for now and you are going to create an imbalance if you focus in on them more than compound upper body work that pushes them very hard already. Not saying don't do isolations, just don't make them the priority this early in the game.
Right!

Haha MrKleen73 - just trying to psych him out some people you have to dominate, some people you gotta just lull into a sense of comfort. The guy likes cinnamon rolls, I am gonna make him feel ok with that and use that to my competitive advantage. If he starts working hard...I am in trouble.
I am the fattest guy in here right now...I really need the mental edge.

Thats tight dude, good luck. I feel like my goals have changed also haha. Started with a hard recomp last week and now alls i wanna do is eat donuts and be a powerlifter. Decisions decisions haha
Oh yea, do I have to declare nattiness or nah? I haven't started anything yet but, I found some old superdrol that is more then likely gonna be taken. Is anyone else gonna go the hormonal route? If not ill save it for later.

Yeah man I know although I’m only really almost 7 months away which I can still make decent progress. Going to train and preplike I want to win but I’m only doing this for experience because I’m working and not going to school because of a college strike that happened. Next year won’t have time because I’ll be back as a full time student and i don’t want bodybuilding coming in my way of my career. That’s the mindset for now.

Who doesn't like cinnamon rolls!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
The bolded is exactly why you have the advantage... The heavier you are at the beginning the more and easier it is to lose. It's not a physique comp, its a transformation. You drop 20lbs that is gonna be a big deal whether you have abs or not.
Congrats man! What federation, and what class?
I think there was 1 or two more who said they were. I opted to go Natty to increase health as well. That and a cycle after I am lean could make for some impressive gains if I decided to go that route. In my mind tho the goal is to get lean and then write off hormonals all together other than TRT stuff. We shall see.
Yes that is the goal unless everyone opted to go Natty all the sudden.
Cool looking forward to it.
You guys are getting a break right now... my schedule and whatnot have me missing meals then eating poorly in the evening. I think I am still making a little progress on weight loss, but not accelerated by any means...
I did walk from the mile plus home from work last night and then into the office this morning up hill so I actually got a lil sweat going... I also noticed a little more leaning on my oblique and serratus and where they tie into where my abs WILL BE but it could be the lighting where I am... Pics and updates will come Sunday most likely. The battery is dead on the scale in the apt I rented or I would at least give a weight update...

First off - I'm not getting any break. I had a bad meal for Valentine's Day with the GF but I was coming off over 7 pounds of fat loss since Sunday, I figure I will end up around 3 pounds lighter this coming Sunday than I was last. You wouldn't believe it, but all she wanted for VDay was take out Olive Garden (which is pretty much one of the worst places - it's easy to hit 2500+ calories in a meal there).
Second - didn't we JUST have a discussion about planning, environments, etc. - and you were all gung ho about how you could just go to Wendy's, etc. and eat something good and it was just about choices? Now your schedule is off?
SFreed and hairygrandpa gotta back me up here - MrKleen73 would be the first one to call bull if someone else blamed their schedule.
.....hang on, I gotta fix my soapbox, it seems to have failed under all that weight....brb...

Well true dat but I already professed that this was basically the plan before I ever left Houston. As long as I got one workout in out here I was okay. Also said I had planned it for the convenience. So PPPLLLBBBTTT!!!! It was definitely a choice. Those are just the extenuating circumstances that I knew would guide my choice... I did want to lift yesterday and have today off to play but instead I plan to lift tonight. So long as I don't decide to partake in a magic brownie or gummy bear and walk the city checking things out. Actually the plan is to take it on the way home, go workout while it is starting to hit then go walk around town in a psychedelic funk.
Man you were ready to pounce weren't you! Been waiting to call me out huh? Had the First, and Second going on for me and everything. Please Sister Hit4Me, just put the ruler down, my knuckles already hurt!!!
Now get back to fixing that soap box! :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox:
I am planning on using it as my trophy acceptance podium to really rub it in for you!

Lmao...like I said, you would be the first. As the second to point it out, since you weren't there, I had to do my job!
Good to see that extenuating circumstances are guiding your choices. Wait, did you say that?
Kind of feels good inside right now...smug. haha

You seem confusedededed... That was my argument the whole time. Trying to make the best of an environmental situation, IE getting appropriate foods when in a bind, but more importantly owning your decisions. The decision to drink and have a few sketchy meals was the plan... it was not a reaction to finding myself in that situation. It was the intended plan because I am visiting a new place and wanted to enjoy myself here. So rather than put myself in a situation where I let myself down I chose to have some drinks and a few sketch meals for my own enjoyment. What did suck is that they eat like mice here!!! I keep ordering what they say is "A lot of meat" and get 4 ounces or some nonsense. I had an $18 doublemeat yesterday that said it was huge... It was like a doublemeat whopper junior!!! Aaaaghhh!!!
However, yeah I would have called you out more than likely because the way I presented it in the post you called me out on did not mention that the decision to eat that way was made before I left Houston. Those comments were actually in my normal log. So it was a good call out but because of an err in how I presented the decision. The one thing that I did allow to change my plans was the exhaustion, and me deciding not to lift yesterday. However that is okay because I am doing it today!

The difference is that I made a Plan to do this, and did not do it reactively. We were talking about doing it reactively. If you remember the entire discussion was triggered over the statement that Failing to plan, is planning to fail. You should still feel good inside! Smug maybe not so much.
The devil is in the details.

Just to revisit this...I am all about doing what you want and owning your decisions. What I am saying is the science indicates that we often don't realize the effect our environment is having on our decisions. We lean on will power as if it is a determining factor, and a lot of times our environment has more influence than we realize. It is kind of like placebo...we simply don't realize what is actually going on. People should focus less on having will power and more on controlling their environment so that there is less need for will power. Will power is like a muscle...it can be trained and made strong, but eventually it will fail.
But mostly, I just like messing with ya.

Transformation & Physique Goal Challenge 2018! Let's get it done!!!
Men’s classic physique novice natural so I am going to do pct the moment my package comes in which is tomorrow. Had nolva on hand but it crystallized do I had to go and buy some new stuff I got Clomid and Exemestane. I hope I don’t get hate on this for going natural but I have no other choice because that’s the only novice show available in my area I don’t want to travel and it’s going to be in mid June. Seems like all novice shows are natty. Wish I never started sarms I don’t like being that guy who took **** in a natty show. I mean yeah it’ll be out of my system so thats cool but I still don’t like how people go into natty shows when they’ve done cycles before. Anyways just being real with you guys. So I have 3.5 months to drop I’d say 20lbs. So I’ll probably run a solid EC stack. After I hit a plateau on my cut. I’ll be using HMB so I don’t lose muscle. Studies seem to be pretty legit on that stuff. Carbs will be cut down coach wants me coming in around 170-180. The initial show that I said I signed up for in sept. I was going to sign up for it then realized it was a pro show... fed is OPA.
