Was sick the last couple days. Caught a stomach bug that has been going around at work, missed a few days of training but that is okay. Before getting sick I looked just a tiny bit leaner, but right now I am so flat that I can't really tell much. So long as I don't gain anything I can get down to my goal pretty quickly, but that doesn't mean I intend to procrastinate about it.
I have been doing a lot more work on my coaching stuff and that has been taking up a lot of time. So I have less time to get on here and chat but it is a good thing.

You probably lost some weight with the stomach bug. Last time I got one and was puking my guts up my abs looked pretty good after dry heaving! LOL

End of second week of PCT for me, and I have been feeling great despite a difficult work week.
Minus 5kg on the scales, which is about where I want to be at post cycle maintenance I guess. Next week I will start tracking food and in 2 weeks I will start reducing calorie intake. If I can get down below 103kg I think I will enter a PL comp early next yr.Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed

I didn't remember to take my pics until Sunday morning after our family breakfast. So I did not weigh myself when I took the pictures. I would guess I am about 210 in the picture as we ate pizza the night before, and then I had some eggs, bacon, and french toast for breakfast right before the pics. So I am guessing 210 as pictured.
I won't claim progress here, more like I probably maintained over the last 2 weeks. Definitely going to need to do more to hit my goals. Oh yeah forgive the weird angle of the shot. I rearranged that room and am going to have to find some where to set up my phone for pictures. I just had the phone propped up on a chair for these and they came out weird looking.

Lookin good brothers.
Didn't get a chance to get to the gym for some noodz (Had too much to get done this weekend). I will try tonight. sorry a little late.
Note: I think I have gotten worse since halloween. Too much candy laying around! I'm a week individual!
Please let me have it when I post my noodz. I need my ball busted some....

So far so good. I am definately building muscle. I am most certainly getting stronger. My goal has changed a bit due to how my workouts have changed. Id like to change my goal to:
Look better than i do now, with better arms and chest.
Also, if i had to put a weight on it, 240 lbs.
I am sitting at 249 right now, however; with the lifting and extreme workouts, i am fluctuating weight-wise. My diet is still on point as i am definately leaning out little by little. Tell what you think so far Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed

LOL! like to take pics in the same spot and distance to get a fairly good comparison. Problem is the spare room at the gym is being used more and more with classes. its usually empty on Friday's but life has kept me outta the gym on Fridays. maybe next week.

Sometimes you just gotta make due and take one somewhere else... it is about accountability, not accuracy. Take the pic at home tonight, you are not holding yourself accountable putting this off with that flimsy reason... Be accountable, if you let little things like that be a "reason" then you are not going to be able to effect the changes you want because you are too willing to allow anything to get in your way so long as you can point to something else being the reason it was not done.
The real answer here is I have not taken my pics yet because i don't want to bad enough to just do it somewhere else.
You saw my pics, totally goofy, shooting up from a chair, all skewed by the angle. I just mentioned it looked a bit different due to that but still held myself accountable and took the pic. I did that knowing I also didn't look as good as when we started. So I am failing now but I showed you all that and now I want to do better because I have embarrassed myself by not towing the line. You need to do the same brother.
You told us to let you have it. I waited past one excuse but it is days later and not resolved. So I have to go in on you about shortchanging yourself on accountability.
Crazy that little skinny fella looks like he has a hernia between his oblique and serratus...
Oh yeah, had a great workout last night burned a ton of energy and sweat my backside off!

Thanks for the ball busting! I love it. I have actually been hitting the gym pretty hard. just too much halloween candy laying around. I'm weak when it come to sweets!
I just like to try to keep comparison pics close to the same environment. I had some dicks criticize one of my logs. saying I only looked like I made gains because of the distance of the comparison pics.
When your natty the gains don't come very fast if at all. Good thing is that my gym time availability should improve this time of year!
MrKleen73
Legend
I see more excuses Sir...
Sounds like Halloween candy messed you up and you don't want to show it... I understand getting comparison pics for true comparison you need the same environment but for this... no. The accountability of the pictures is what is important since your goal was physique based. Take some pictures tonight or there is likely to be a diaper in your future my friend. Bite the bullet.
Also, you are a big strong man, who has lived many years, you aren't going to let something a couple of professed Dicks said shape your behavior simply because they didn't approve are you.
Being natty doesn't really have anything to do with this either. Your goal was to stay the same, gear is not even a factor in that goal. Eating a bunch of halloween candy is. Choosing not to make the pics happen because you don't have the perfect set up so not even bothering is an issue with accountability. You agreed to terms that you are not holding yourself accountable for and are allowing yourself to use weak excuses to try to justify it.
Be the man we know you to be and get some pics up tonight.

Down .08 from last week. Holding steady, eating good. Again, staples only. Creatine, multi, protein, non stim pump pwo, acv, and lemon juice. Got in 2 two a days this week, 3am workout and 6pm workout along with 3 regular 3am workouts. Energy is up, getting 6-7 hours sleep a night, hitting macros, feeling good.
Question is, my initial goal is to maintain 200-205. If I get under 200 for some odd reason will I have to wear a diaper? MrKleen73
Scale has gone down to 201 this week.

No visible changes which is good since I have been feeding my muscles with almond joys, kit kats, whoppers, milk duds, twixs, Reeses cups. I'm sure I missed something.
Weight still at 211.0 and workouts have been good.

No, not if you consider that more progress. I mean you wanted to maintain but we know your real goal is to be leaner and more muscular. If you reach that you have surpassed maintaining your current condition in that weight range.
That's what I am FUGGING TALKING ABOUT!!!! I don't know if it matters man but I am proud of you for doing it!!!! Also these are the best and highest quality progress pics that I have seen of yours. I think you should do them all right there!!! Great lighting, the detail is obvious and you look like a beast!
Well done Sir, thanks for stepping up and knocking it out of the park there.

I know this isn't helpful in this situation but if you ever need to be seen at the ER for something and don't want to be there forever and have good insurance then call the ambulance... People brought in via ambulance tend to get serviced first even if there are others with worse situations or conditions in the waiting room. Head injuries and possible heart attacks not included... for me it is worth the extra 100 to not wait for hours on end.
Yes this!!!

After a serious birthday refeed, a really hard week at work and international travel, and eating at maintenance or slightly above after cutting for 3 months, I feel better. I’m more vascular in my legs than I’ve been in a long time. I’ve got veins in the quads too. Today is also leg day and it’s back to hungry macros.Invalid Link Removed
