Damn bro your killin it!
 
Great work Matt. yummy sandwiches bud makes me one or two. I've been trying up my calories also, but finding it a double edged sword in aspect to water weight. Eating alot of clean food is tough. Need some more music suggestions bro, been rockin the Five Finger Death Punch " never heard about them before damn good. Kind of reminds me a lil of Avenged Sevenfold..... On a funny side note So I'm at the gym reppin out 3 1/2 plates on squats feeling good. Then all of a sudden this chick comes up and starts talking to me, normally not issue. LOL I've never been dwarfed by a chick I wanted to get out of there fast. But she was cool considering i was talking to the female version of the Ultimate Warrior RIP. She tells me to up calories and then I seen your upping your also. So I'm a lil confused if I should keep trying to loose some BF or do a lil bulk. I'm at 185 from 254. The frustrating part is the remaining midsection and tiny muffin top will not go away, lean and vasky everywhere but those points. It would be nice to get rid of that last little bit then add a few calories. I think that if I bulk ill never get rid of the stubborn parts and just be accentuating them.

Keep it up bro. It sounds like you're doing some good work. Let me look into a few things and I'll post back to you on your workouts. There's a few songs that I've been listening to throughout my morning while on my delivery routes some of the workouts on some of them are just every day listening to songs for me

Get it!! Check out this one as well. I would put YouTube links for you but I'm driving and this is already pretty hard for me to do, especially with a shattered screen

Not sure if this would help but for my core I keep it tight in all I do.

This is a normal day for me, but when I pick up something and carry it. I keep my core right, lower back, traps. Do that for a few hours multiple times a week on top of working out

I can relate to this bro. Very similar stats and history. Was heavy for most of my young life, all the way up to 245 in a bad way before I started working out. Began exercising and dropped down to 180 and stayed around there for several years. Lean and vascular and always trying to finish off that last bit of love handles and loose skin around lower abdomen. The only cure I have found to appearing proportional is adding size up top. I'm not as lean right now as I'd like to be either, but proportionately I look better being wider in the shoulders and lats. Which the Catch-22 is having to up calories to build that size.

Going to actually try a cut for the first time in a while this Spring and see if I'm finally able to get rid of that pooch and love handles with the aid of the newly formed mass.
 
Burnfire Yah that work will keep you in shape, I used to do a lot of dock work when I was younger for years....Grip strength was crazy back then. Normally I try and work the tools but my last couple of jobs have been office bound. Looking forward to get back working in the field, just wish it paid the same as the office. Having a hard time finding the rest of Five Finger Death Punch....awesome band thanks again for the recommendations Matt.

Good luck with you cut Dma378 hopefully it wont be too tough of a diet sounds like you've got it figured out...hate dieting but it's necessary. Im built a lil different I guess, don't have any issues with width just try to get tree trunks. Born with wide shoulders had to wear 3 year old tops and 1 year old bottoms... Anywho I just try and blast squats lots and do high rep deads to tighten my core. Either way these ****ers are coming off.
 
I weighed in today. 185.6

1.6lbs in a week

I'm having 3 of these a day with different combos

Been doing a 2:1 PES: PS. That's been working pretty good for me. Before my workout I change it up some
 
Sorry for the inactivity. I've been taking the past couple days off as rest days. Tomorrow morning the family and I are going to see one of my buddies that I hadn't seen in four or five years. He's a nutritionist and a personal trainer so he's going to help me get a few things on point with my diet. I love road trips even if it's only a few hours away. Man I have everything ready to go!

I hear you bro, I've been more or less a walking corpse after my workout.....Sir did you just have labour???LOL No bitch I did legs LMFAO

Sounds like I've got another 3 months off work to train so I have to kill it now. Hopefully by then i'll be in decent shape and back to making money.

Oh yeah I love those days when you just kill it on legs. Everything been going good, you liking all the products that you got?
 
Yah bud everything is really working out nicely. I'm sure liking the Evomuse products....just waiting till BMP and Brite is back in stock :) then placing another order. I'm thinking of starting a log but not too sure. I'm down to 183 now, but strength is still good. Still trying to find a few other FFDP albums online to through on my iphone I have the last 2 they did. I'm still surprised I never heard of them before.
