He is just now getting into weight lifting. His goals for now are to just get a little thicker and stronger in general. He has no interest in being "Big" and would be more than happy with a Brad Pitt style physique.
Doing what I can. My poor daughter is having an issue with her hip. Trying to get her in to see a chiro to make sure everything is in alignment. Kind of have her doing light duty type workouts to keep from getting stiff but not intense enough to exacerbate it.
No doubt, this is what I told him.
Yes Sir!
Yeah I had a couple shakes of a buddy of mines and enjoyed them.
Good luck bro.
No doubt, I have never had a membership to a place with a GHR stand / machine but the times I have used one it was pretty brutal.You want a Glute Ham Tie! GHRs all the way!!!
Pretty impressive when you consider the sled weighs 80 lbs by itself.
Took the new sled out for a spin last night to get in some conditioning. Man that thing is a challenge and you feel alpha when you are doing it. I had some fun once I got warmed up and had my daughter hop on top of a 45 plate and ride while I sprinted, or tried sprinting up and down the driveway.
One round trip from where we were was 40 yards.
Sled + 45 lbs - 4 rounds
Sled + 90 lbs - 4 rounds
Sled + 45 lbs and my daughter - 4 rounds - She is a lady so I won't reveal her weight. However she is 12 so it is obviously an increase.
Sled + 45 lbs 4 rounds to finish.
Trinity wanted to get in on it and pushed 2 rounds with a 45 on there. Man was she digging on the way back. I made her stop so she didn't hurt her hip. Girl has some heart!
Well it was my first time using a legit sled especially pushing one. I really liked the stimulation it gave me. My chest, shoulders and triceps all had a pump when I was done which was pretty cool. Surprised my triceps and biceps are a little sore right now from the workout Tuesday.
I am having a hard time telling what my body is doing right now. I look huge and leaner one day then end up with a severely distended stomach out of nowhere. Not sure why I have been dealing with gastric distress lately but it sucks. Seems like I always have food sitting right up against my esophagus just applying pressure and keeping me feeling full and like I might get sick. Either way with the stomach distended it is hard to tell if things are going in the direction I want without seeing some obvious ab definition. I am used to seeing myself thin out more in the waist but the distention is keeping my waist thick. Looking at my diet I might end up cutting carbs lower and doing 1 high carb meal, and one reasonable free meal a week.

I love GDA's, although this is a different type of distention than from carb consumption. I am starting to wonder if the Nexium I have been taking to combat GERD is possibly cutting my stomach acid down so low that I am having issues digesting. I might cut it over to 1 EOD and see how that goes. Will probably order some Gut Health if that doesn't clear things up.
This dietary plan will be pretty strict compared to how relaxed I have been about dieting but I think I need that definitive structure and some faster results to get my motivation up even further to dig into this cut for the long haul.
Man that sounds amazing! My Mom used to make ground sausage then use the oil to make pepper gravy and miz the sausage into that and poor it over some open faced biscuits. Man that was awesome. No wonder I had issues having a belly!
Give it all somewhere to go.
BeastFitness I love them, it is hard to remind myself to do them. Not really an ego satisfying move. LOL
Yes he changed the way I trained a lot. I have done both of the MI40 workouts and turned a lot of people onto them. Now training a little more athletic I have not done his type of training in a bit but if this shoulder doesn't square away in a little while I will end up shifting from trying to do a meet to trying to do a Physique or Classic Bodybuilding contest. I need to find something to set my sites on that had a deadline.
Yes indeed, and especially when you're feeling like you should be in a much better place physique wise. I don't know about you but since I have been a "big" guy and into lifting all my life, any time I gain fat, or look smaller someone has to make the comment to make them feel better about themselves.
"Oh hey what happened man? You are getting a belly! HaHa!" or "Man you quit working out?" sometimes it really annoys me and I tell them I am trying to be more like them. Take that dick head!
It is a shame how people revel in other peoples weak moments trying to make themselves feel stronger...
So when people take the time to make the positive comments it is really nice to hear.
herderdude - When I was in Cali a couple weeks ago I went to Muscle Beach to lift. I worked up to a few sets of 315 for doubles, the last set my right glute cramped up and turned my body sideways in the middle of the rep. It knocked the bar off balance to my right side pretty bad. Of course the effort to catch the weight before it crashed to my chest and get it back up after that just tweaked the shoulder pretty good.
