Kleen! I'm at the gym now and Bad Company by 5FDP started playing. If you want something a little more dramatic with nice change ups, there's opportunity for some nice fluid movements then BAM strength poses. I'm definitely not an expert in bodybuilding (provably not even a novice) but I like to think I know a little about music. :) Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you in the gym today!

Funny you say that....my wife always gets mad that I never buy new clothes and/ or shoes:)

That's probably the reason why I always have money, and she doesn't....and the end I have nothing too, you probably guessed why:(
Yep, sounds familiar!
you continue to bring up all these fond memories of marriage that I have
not knocking it at all, but - let me tell you how happy I am these days
:yup:
LMAO! I am pretty happy these days myself. I like my wife.
Lol....my wife has a forum, babybites to bitch about me....I have you guys;)
Sounds fair to me!
We're here for you brother. My wife makes a comedy routine about my short comings. We have accepted who we are and are quite happy. You have to some way learn to laugh at yourself. Me lol I am be such a fuggin tool :)
Yeah the wife and I always joke and fug with each other. Keeps things fun and us happy!

You definitely know a little something about music. I love that song. Hell 5FDP is one of my favorite groups. Never thought of it for posing though... Will have to listen to it. I have a few songs I am tinkering with right now.

Nice catch!

Okay here for the update sorry has been one hell of a busy day.


I didn't take a snap shot of my lift from this weekend but here is this mornings lift. I went heavier on everything again. I did go with regular Romanian Dead lifts to one inch from the floor instead of the 25 plates for longer ROM. So things got a bit nasty! ;)

Oh and the Hack squats were replaced with Leg Extensions w/ 3 second negatives.

Weight is on the way UP! Not sure why considering I am only getting in 2450 cals a day, only thing that makes sense is the methyls are doing there job. Now yesterday I woke up and was 203.9 which was quite lean for me, much leaner than last Monday's 203.9. THis morning I woke up 205.2 not sure where the weight came from but seems it must all be water. I can only assume I had a bit more salt in my diet yesterday since I had a lot of seasoned meats. Either way I still look leaner than last week in these pics with the added weight, but I wish I had snapped a shot yesterday morning when everything was looking so tight. Biggest difference to me is in my rear double biceps and the most muscular.

Thanks Dan!!! Appreciate it! Anabolics in play make it hard for me to tell if I am getting leaner due to increase in weight. Love that

Oh not counting on the anabolics, as a matter of fact I think they are doing more than I expected which is throwing me for a loop. I keep looking to see the weight coming down and low and behold 2 weeks on the up side. Panic strikes a chord in my psyche since my first competition I was several % leaner than this at this point. However I think most people who followed along would agree I ended up over dieting the last month or so. Was expecting a drop in weight only to see a small rise. I am definitely sticking to the plan though, only thing the anabolics can do is make me come in that much better if I execute the plan to a T!

Thanks for the reassurance Doug! Keeping the head games at bay until a few things I know to be tell tale of leanness begin to happen. Once they do I think I may be able to breathe a little easier.

Here is todays lift, I only got through Chest and Shoulders so tonight it is going to be a quick Triceps workout in the garage. I left my headphones at home and was also just not moving as fast as normal today. The lack of headphones had people being a bit chattier with me than normal. I guess they saw an opening and I am a person who loves to help so when I heard questions I graciously offered my knowledge. Of course that tends to slow things down a bit. I increase on every lift, either in weight or in reps. I got caught up in a convo right before starting triceps and then realized i didn't have time to finish them so I went and relaxed in the sauna for a couple minutes and will crush triceps tonight while fresh. I may even give them a little extra something special. Perhaps just turn the time into a HIIT session by doing something in between my sets to keep me intense.

Thanks Edge! I tried it the way Snags does his and it makes my shoulders look huge but highlights the fat pockets under my chest right now. However the crab has always highlighted my traps and Columbo style striations in my pecs. Will be showing some variations as I get leaner and asking opinions.

Okay so lunch today was HIIT circuits of step ups, push ups, horizontal body rows with hill walks as intervals. Total interval time was 35 minutes and 30 minutes walking warm up and cool down.

Got home and went to the garage triceps with 30 second rest periods.
3x 12 reps, 1x9 reps of rope extensions resistance not really known, 50 was on the apparatus but it is on a rusty pole and was feeling MUCH heavier due to increased friction.
Close grip bench press 195x12, 220x9
EZ Bar French Curls - 75x15, 75x15, 75x12

I came in and was cooling down a bit before eating and decided to take a couple shots to see how I looked in brighter light. I was actually pretty pleased considering I had a relatively full stomach from eating all day and having just downed a half gallon of water in the garage.

You can actually see some of the vascularity I was talking about in my biceps and arms in these. I figured I would share. I can really see the added size in my shoulders on the Most Muscular that is a little more like Snags, but less impressive at this point. That and in my side triceps shot. Arms seem to have come up and are getting lean and vascular as you can see in my Front Double Biceps.

Thanks working on them big time.

Doing cardio tonight, had an early AM doc appointment to get downtown an hour earlier than normal so did not get my cardio in this morning. I think I may take a page out of Snags book and do cardio after my last meal of the day. I already woke up this morning looking night and day leaner than these pics. Curious how I will look tomorrow upon waking. I need to check it out because tomorrow is a carb day.

Well I did my cardio last night and it woke me up big time. After finally falling asleep I woke up to not being able to breathe, sinuses shut and a pounding sinus headache about 2:30AM. I finally got back to sleep 30-45 minutes later and when I got up at 4:00 to go to the gym standing up had my head pounding again. So much so that going to the gym was just not going to happen. I took some non stimulant sinus/allergy meds and some ibuprofen and crawled back in bed.

My allergies have just been horrendous the last few days and seems they peaked last night. Totally sucks to wake up to that but it wasn't that much of a surprise my ears popped on the way down from my office in the elevator yesterday which is a tell tale sign that my head was getting congested. Last night I did the elliptical for 350 calories and cleaned up went to bed to wind down.

I will say that this morning I did look good. Definitely leaning up, and muscle bellies are staying nice and full which is always a plus. Although surprising since I am only getting in 60 grams of carbs a day other than my 2 higher carb days. Since I did not lift this morning I had a high protein moderate fat breakfast and limited carbs my first few meals. This will keep my insulin sensitivity higher later in the day when I want to store the carbs more. I will have moderate carbs the last few meals before my workout and then have the remainder in a post workout meal then a carb meal similar to Snags just before bed this evening.

Tonight should be a great workout since I will have had 2 meals with carbs prior to the lift, increasing the pump substantially. I expect higher performance for this lift as well but we shall see what happens due to how many people are in the gym at that time.

Allergies can be bad, yours seem worse than mine though. Mine are manageable but if things get too bad I run the risk of bronchitis been a long time since that hit me in the summer, it ain't pretty though, breathing gets so bad you are afraid to go to sleep for fear you won't wake. The shots do help a lot have you ever gotten them ?

No, never had the shots. We have just had several days of severely high ozone which gradually wears on your. When ozone is high I can step outside and come back in completely congested well not even congested just my nasal passages swell to the point I can't breathe. I have the same issue with the bronchitis which is why I use a steroidial nose spray. Keeps the post nasal drip under control.

Going to be going to the gym after work pretty stoked!

Thanks Doug!

Today has been a busy day, last night I had an amazing workout. I went up on just about everything some of the highlights from the workout
Meadow Rows 140x8
Dead stop rows 115x8
Wide Grip Pull down partials to eye level with stretch at top - 300x8
Wide grip supported rows 215x10
Cross Body Hammer Curls 50x10
EZ Bar Curls w / 3 second negatives 90x8

I did a couple more things but these are the ones I improved on.

I got in 175 grams of my 250 after my workout in a 75g post workout meal and a 100g carb only meal about an 60 minutes later... So not surprising that this morning I woke up looking big as hell! I went and did my HIIT/LISS combo burning 550 cals and then did some weighted crunches followed by 200 crunches on a crunch bench with my feet in various positions. Shirt I was wearing was soaked by the end.

Tonight I am taking my Dad to Outback for some Prime Rib to celebrate his birthday. I haven't been there in years and know that finding food in my macros is going to be hard. I intentionally lowered intakes throughout the day in anticipation of a little extra protein and fat tonight. Will be looking for a reasonable size sirloin or just some grilled chicken and of course veggies.

Thank you Sir, ended up getting an Oak Grilled Sirloin and double order of grilled asparagus. YUM! Sirloin was nice and lean and I trimmed off the tiny bit of visible fat on it. Came home ran the macros and just finished them off with some almonds to round out the day with damn near perfect macros and all high quality.

Good choice, can't go too wrong with Sirloin and grilled asparagus sounds really good. Hey if you guys were to grill it would you just throw it on the bbq with your steaks ?... I never tried grilling it.

There are a few ways, as Steve mentions you can wrap it up in aluminum foil, I picked up a veggie grill tray for my grill. Was about $10 has kind of a non stick surface with a lot of holes in it. So the veggies get the full on grill flavor especially since I use wood charcoal and sometimes add some wood chips for a smoky flavor I like the veggies to be in the open. Both ways produce excellent results.

Thanks LTL, I can't even begin to tell you how exciting this is starting to be. I am responding so well to everything we are doing. All I have to do is work hard and follow the plan and I am going to look crazy when this is all said and done!
Yeah it was good, I was actually impressed with how lean the meat was too. There was no strip of fat around it that was trimmed before weighing which is a major plus! I think they just put sea salt, and fresh ground pepper on it too, but really just let the wood flavor and meat speak for itself.

wrap it in aluminum foil, put on top rack of grill if you have dual rack
This way is great I do mine both ways.

Oh yeah Doug I also do them on the foreman grill sometimes. I will cook my meat and leave the char from it on the grill then put the asparagus on the grill with a dash of salt and pepper on top of them and close it up for about 5 minutes. I just eyeball it the thicker the better using this method but the smaller ones you just have to roll over if you want a touch of char on each side.

Just for grins since I was looking pretty lean this morning I weighed in and I am 204.8, weight finally going back down a little but man I am DEFINITELY leaner. I can not wait to see how this ends up I am going to big so much bigger than my last show it is unreal!

Taking my daughter to her first Ballet class today and will be heading to the gym shortly after. This was her on Thursday before her first day of Jazz or dance of any kind. You can tell she is extremely excited!

Taking my daughter to her first Ballet class today and will be heading to the gym shortly after. This was her on Thursday before her first day of Jazz or dance of any kind. You can tell she is extremely excited!

She's a doll Kleen! All of my kids are in dance, even my son is in a boy's hip hop group lol (He takes after his dad) :) Nothing quite like the feeling of seeing your kid perform on stage. Seriously, I always tear up because you just know they are having so much fun!

There are a few ways, as Steve mentions you can wrap it up in aluminum foil, I picked up a veggie grill tray for my grill. Was about $10 has kind of a non stick surface with a lot of holes in it. So the veggies get the full on grill flavor especially since I use wood charcoal and sometimes add some wood chips for a smoky flavor I like the veggies to be in the open. Both ways produce excellent results.


Thanks LTL, I can't even begin to tell you how exciting this is starting to be. I am responding so well to everything we are doing. All I have to do is work hard and follow the plan and I am going to look crazy when this is all said and done!
Yeah it was good, I was actually impressed with how lean the meat was too. There was no strip of fat around it that was trimmed before weighing which is a major plus! I think they just put sea salt, and fresh ground pepper on it too, but really just let the wood flavor and meat speak for itself.



This way is great I do mine both ways.

Oh yeah Doug I also do them on the foreman grill sometimes. I will cook my meat and leave the char from it on the grill then put the asparagus on the grill with a dash of salt and pepper on top of them and close it up for about 5 minutes. I just eyeball it the thicker the better using this method but the smaller ones you just have to roll over if you want a touch of char on each side.

Just for grins since I was looking pretty lean this morning I weighed in and I am 204.8, weight finally going back down a little but man I am DEFINITELY leaner. I can not wait to see how this ends up I am going to big so much bigger than my last show it is unreal!

Yeah I am sure I will be the same. I used to dance a lot but never took a class. Now I dont really at all. We dont go to clubs because to much drama with all the young punks when you have a hot wife.

I know EXACTLY what you mean! A lot of people know who we are around here though so I can't say there's ever really been an issue. I have to say I'm surprised anybody would mess with YOU though. "Wow, she's hot...Hey baby *wink* *wink*...oh that's your husband...":ntome:

Well alcohol and gang mentality can cause some bad decisions.

Since this is in the FINAFLEX section I dont mind as long as it is not for another company. If a training or anabolic type of log feel free but I think it may be inappropriate to post in here if for another company. If so please pm me and I will be happy to follow. That and maybe put the url to it in your sig.

Well if my wife did that her and I would have an issue. I am referring to disrespectul guys coming on to her or by grabbing at her. I just dont have tolerance for it at my age and am not one to throw punches. Would rather avoid it or injure them severly instead of box.

Very true, you can come across that sort of thing anywhere. It's probably a good thing you know your tolerance because it would suck if I couldn't follow your thread anymore because you're in jail for putting some dumb punk in the hospital.

My thread isn't company related at all. I'm no rep or anything lol. The thread is purely anabolic and would love to have you in it.
