Looks awesome brother!
Dddaaaammmmnnn, that's wicked! #tattedmuscle!
It doesn't help at all. I get frustrated with her when she gripes about me working all the time and then I feel like crap when she said that just because she wants me home with her. But 17 years of marriage is got to speak for something. Thank you.
It's always nice when your tattoo artist has a cool backstory
Lookin nice !!!
Heres the update fellas. Much better in person, so youre all going to have to drive to NC. One more session to goInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
Dope as hell bro!
Thanks homie!! Youre up early!
Actually late lol usually up at 4 am hit the gym then hit AM but today I got to "sleep in" all the way to 545 haha
17 years is something bro, we're at about 3 and half but we've been together for a little under 6 years. Still finding things that amaze me every day, good and bad lmao. Wouldn't change a thing though. Even when I'm at home, I still get the "So the gym is more important than me?" thing. I can't help my hours are crazy, still gotta get my lifts in! I was in standby for the extended 4th of July weekend...I was working everyday, sometimes twice a day. Just one of things man.
Buuuuuut, yes. Having an artist with a cool backstory is awesome. He's actually Brazilian, he's told me some bits and pieces about South America so conversation is never boring. Your work looks great too dude, I'm a huge fan of Japanese traditional. The way that they use colors to make everything stand is crazy. It's gonna look sick when you get more color in there!
! What do you say to that.I get the "everything is more important"speech alot. I was standing in front of her last night( make up s3x!) and she looked sad. She told me she didnt like me getting in better shape and looking younger while shes turning into an old woman. Grrrrrr! What do you say to that.
And I cant wait till this piece is done. Were doing mostly black and gray, but the samurai will be in color so he will pop out.

women always feel they will lose us when we make drastic changes man ... iam just glad she said something to you . I had to figure it out on my own .
between all the attitudes and fights and threats of divorce . One day I said "wtf is wrong with me having muscles and feeling good "? she replied " every fukkin girl in this town wants you bcuz you act like you got it . can you just be normal without the muscles " ?
a big flashing light lit up in my brain saying whoa dude that's it ..... she is scared of losing me ! so I neeed to show her she has me . and ever since then I been showing her that and that problem never comes up .
3 things Ive learned that will make or break it here
1.) NEVER talk about other women like its ok
2.) NEVER let her see you gawking other girls
3.) NEVER act like u don't need her
those things may have saved my marriage !!!!
Spot on brother!! Thanks for that!
No problem bro that's what we're here for. sparks2012 thats it bro . I even asked her over n over wats wrong. Got a pouty "nothing" . Been together since 03 lol
I plan on really pushing them, just to see what I can do, AND.... If at all possible, Im shooting for another PR. Im going to make the attempt at 220lbs on my shoulder press. Even if its just one, and clean. I feel pretty fricken strong today, and better overall than I have in the past week.
As of now, I look forward to running this again, with the addition of Androcrine. Stay tuned people
Nice!!!
Ok, so change of plans at the last minute. Did back and biceps today and although I am not to a lot of your levels, I was very pleased with what I accomplished.
Took 3 PWO and a scoop of white flood and I felt like I could punch through walls!!!
Started off with 25 pull ups using rock climbing hand holes.
Bent over single arm Dumbbell rows
65x10x2, 85x10, 100x10,100x6
T bar rows(dont know the weight of the bar so Im just telling plate weight)
90x20,125x10,155x10
Stiff leg Deadlifts with dumbbells
60sX10,85sX10,100sX10... Never got it done with a 100 in each hand, pretty stoked.
Lat pull down
120x10,160x10,180x10,180x6
Biceps were quick but... I normally have been doing my EZ bar curls with 45lbsx100, but I Felt spunky and did 75lbsx100! I was dancing in my head!!
3 sets of single arm cable curls with the last set being 60lbs.
Ran out of time, but sh1t I Was stoked!! I had so much energy and focus was through the roof!! Cant wait till my 0600 session tomorrow!!
Looking good brotha keep it rolling
. Weve been rolling today, but waxing a fire truckhas to count for some sorta cardio right? Lol. Hopefully Ill be lifting tomorrow morning, and will have something worth posting. I hate it because even though my knees are still a bit sore, I was feeling right and had that NEED to lift. Stupid jobsScivation Flexatril is really good for the joints.
Looking solid brother!

Awesome definition and size man, jealous of you repping 315 on squats. Lol
Also, Orange Triad is multi-faceted vitamin/joint/digestion/immune formula. Been using for a little over a week, and I love it. It replaced at least 2 other products I'd use.
EDIT: Looks like a shameless plug, but I'm affiliated with Controlled Labs at all, just offering some friendly advice![]()
Thanks, but no jealousy please! I Was just having a good day. Im sure I will pay dearly for it in the morning. Might even wake up in the fetal position! Lol
And plug or not, no shame. Im always down for some advice brother! No one out there is smarter than everyone else out there! Thanks
for sure. "If you're the smartest one in the room, you're in the wrong room". One of my favorite quotes, as it applies to pretty much everything in life. And the squats are for real impressive man, especially if you've been having knee issues.Do you actually know what the fox says ?
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

What the fox say?
"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"

Mock interrogation...what are you, like a trained spy? :SamFisher:
You cant ask that question without hulk making you disappear!!
"If I told you, I'd have to kill you".
Goodbye, guys.
Guys, I may be in trouble. Stopped by Walmart to get a few essentials before heading in for my shift and found this on the shelf, I resisted, but dont know how long I can hold out!Invalid Link Removed
