Haha, me either bro. I'll see what I can do to remedy that before all is said and done.
I was thinking photoshop route, too. I've got a few pretty sweet celeb pics - with Lou Brock and Jim Gaffigan.

So we need to have something from list 1 and 2 and then have them in the same pic that we already submitted? IE go back and retake the pic with them? Or just take a picture with 1 and 2 like a new pic? Just want to be clear on the rules thanks!

Yeah brah!! hitting my personal goals well before i thought i would be doing it! so im very happy.Making big progress?
Hows ur training goin dude?
Since i am a really quick eater this is one of the best pieces of advice i was ever given and is best used when cutting IMO.
Hold the fork with ur opposite hand. This will slow down how fast u can eat and it will register within ur body that you are full quicker. Thus helping you eat less.

Mine is going pretty well I think. Tonight I did a 1 rep max dead lift at 245lbs... after warming up of course. Not a lot but I weigh 140 so I thought that was pretty good considering I never really do them. Then did a 10x2 with 75% of my max with 1min rest between sets. Then some ab work.

One thing I do when I diet is use smaller plates. Srs. Makes me keep my portions smaller so I don't over eat. The second half of the battle is not going back for seconds.

Fitness Tip #1: Try fasting a day or two a week. Calorie restriction is currently the only scientifically supported method of lifespan extension. And one day won't hurt your gains/catabolize muscle as in a resting state you'll preferentially burn fat and glycogen. Not only will it help you stay lean, it'll increase your insulin sensitivity dramatically for the following day, when you do eat.
If you're still really worried about gluconeogenesis, simply down 5-10g of leucine every 3 hours during your fast - boom, total activation of mTOR. Though, this renders moot a lot of the pro-auto****ic benefits of fasting.

1....U really are what u Eat (protein for muscle, eat alot of fat and u will get fat) 2...getting to gym is half the battle...its all mental

A former coworker (who was an ex NFL linebacker) taught me that dumb bells are for gaining strength and barbells are for testing that strength. He was totally spot on as my bench increased more than ever after going to strictly dumbbells. Obviously squats and other exercises are not included but using DB over BB most of the time really seems to improve strength more.

The first part that I want to offer for the challenge will involve me on a soapbox for a bit; I apologize (kind of...:lol
. Bodybuilding is a science and not an art. When I first started, I didn't quite believe that, but I have come to terms with that - there is no art to this sport/lifestyle at all. Like they say football is a game of inches, this is a game of calories. If you're even slightly over or under by what you need based on your current goal, you won't be where you want to be. It is incredibly easy to eat just a little bit extra and not cut the final pound of fat you want to.
By the same token, proper form and range of motion are king at the end of the day. It's a battle with your ego, because while more weight is what we want to hold overhead, it's meaningless if all things aren't in order. For example, when I was in high school, I'd do 1,000 crunches every night. Only problem was I wasn't contracting my abs, because at that time I didn't even know what that felt like. So, all of that was virtually for nothing (other than some form of a pathetic cardio workout). Just the same, guys can throw a ton of weight on a squat bar or on a curl bar, but if you're not using proper form and range of motion and utilizing the actual contractions of the muscles desired to work, it's meaningless.
I realize that's not so much of a tip, but it is so often overlooked and hopefully if anyone reads this thread down the road, they'll take a step back and take that all in.
So, it would seem wrong to not give a nice little tip, as well, so here's one. Buy a cheap watch with a timer and wear it during all of your workouts. Start the timer from the second you are ready to attempt your first lift after whatever warming up you may do. This will ensure you stay on track and not rest too long (as most do) or too little (depending on your goals and specific training style) between sets. It also gives you an overall workout time that you can attempt to beat the next time you do it. Most people don't realize just how long they're actually waiting between sets; this makes sure you do.

:clap2: hell yea solid advice!!! :clap2:
That is my main gripe with people who are at the gym. Not only is the form wrong (yea you can squat 600 pounds* but how much can you squat PARALLEL?) but getting on your cell phone in between EVERY set is hurting them so much. You don't need to work out for 2 hrs. I worked out at the gym I work at part time and my work outs suffered b/c I knew all the members and we would BS all the time during our workouts. Now I do crossfit and the intensity is through the roof. I'm ready to die after 15 mins where as at the regular gym 1.5 hrs in and I was fine I hate seeing people give up when they aren't getting results b/c they aren't really working out.
