Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).I want to come back down to Texas next year looking like a completely different person from getting so fucking stacked. -
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).I personally love it when I have to update my wardrobe from getting too fucking yoked. Hoping to have to do it again real soon.
-
man its crazy, the past 3 years I bulk to 207, cut to about 183, I wear size large shirts non stop. they get tight in the lats towards the bulk, but never to where they come above the waist and...
-
Sounds like it is too late already, so just buy the next set of shirts too big, and that will make you want to grow into them. Problem solved! ;)
-
I'm not sure I'd even want to anymore tbh. I'm still hanging in the 190s but since bringing back more shoulder and OHP work my shirts are fitting worse than than at 207. its not the belly, but...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Yeah, think it's a wait and see for now. The way I had envisioned it would be a growth phase to kick off the year, a health phase to get my blood work looking right and just maintain what I can...
-
Maybe I am off here, but I would think you would do one more growth focused cycle, then a break and then the prep cycle, or are you thinking more of a just do the show, run through a prep and get...

Call me crazy, but if things don't line up right, any chance of pushing the meet and going for the 198 while recovering an extra month or something?
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Sticking with the TRT and low dose GH for now since that has been treating me well enough, but depending on when we target for the show, I may start dabbling end of this year/early next.
-
I have found the progressive rom reps/sets on leg press have helped loosen things up a lot for me when really tight and lead to a better squat session. when I do my RDL's for rehab, or when I was...
-
Yeah, I can get myself a nice burn with them when focusing hard on the glutes.
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).That's the plan. If I want to ever really be competitive at Classic Physique, I probably need to walk around between 220-230 off-season weight, but don't imagine that will happen any time soon no...
-
Sounds like you have a good plan and are executing well. Very curious to see how things go over the next few months. I assume you are lean bulking your way up as high as you can get without adding...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).100%. A big part of my rehabbing back was working back up to heavy RDLs and 45 Degree hypers. The spine will never be as stable as it once was, but I can build every fucking muscle around it until...
-
L5 is wher all my serious damage is, posterior work is a non negotiable for me, if I am not deadlifting or at least hitting RDLs I will develop back pain, if I have back pain, those RDLs always...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread FIRST CYCLE (test only).How old are you and how long have you been training for?
-
Not that I do, but ever since I tore my left adductor some I lack hip internal rotation there even worse. It is impossible to squat to depth really without a significant knee angle outwards...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Honestly, still a solid squat even with the back issues. 5 weeks feels like plenty of time to settle it out. Are you using BPC and/or TB500 or anything like that? Might help speed things along if...

That’s not a bad train of logic, but because of their much higher estrogen women actually tend to do BETTER per mg than men, as far as adulteration. For reference, her HDL is typically 60 at...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Might give it a shot. Coach wants these done with a more posterior focus anyway, so I had my foot way up on the platform and kept vertical shins. The nerve damage is at my L5 and S1 nerve roots...
-
I can currently do lighter SS with RFE and lunges, but for the record when they hurt I could still get away with some front foot elevated split squats sometimes. So that could be something to try...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Yeah, had hoped doing them on the pendulum would help, but no dice. Knew I couldn't do a regular BSS or split squat from past experience, but figured I'd give that a try this week and see how it went.
-
If you’re getting nerve pain, it can’t work for hypertrophy because you’re going to do far under what the muscle has potential for, so makes sense to me.

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).New Upper day this morning. Felt pretty solid. Wanted to do machine flat press, but motherfuckers were over there baby guarding the goddamned thing this morning and I got tired of waiting. RG...

Very cool man! Will follow along. Also, didn't realize you were working with TNF. I definitely have seen a ton of his content online. -

No I gave the wrong impression; I am definitely confident I can continue to lose fat & weight on gear as I have been. The theoretical question I meant to pose was, should I continue my blast to...
