Nice update pic! Looking shredded as ever!This is me last year when i cut down to 180 at 6'2.
So dont get to hung up in numbers, a physique can look good (even great) without being the heaviest.

Yeah i guess thats one of the things that comes with age. I remember in my youth i wanted to get to 100kg ripped. Never got there haha but im very happy with where i ended up!I'm glad that you were able to enjoy some cake. Nougat cake sounds incredible.
As far as the other thread and what people are saying, just a couple of my thoughts in general are that people should encourage, not discourage; and that people get too attached to numbers (scale weight). For me, just trying to get back into things after a long layoff, people ask - what weight do you want to get to? Honestly, no idea. I need to put back on a lot of lost muscle and lose some fat so my goal is to look better and whatever weight I wind up at is where I wind up haha.
What the ? hahaYeah i guess thats one of the things that comes with age. I remember in my youth i wanted to get to 100kg ripped. Never got there haha but im very happy with where i ended up!
Thank you for the kind words!What the ? haha
You're ripped by anyone's standards now lol. Most people will never look like you no matter how hard they try, even with the help of anabolics because 99% of the population doesn't have your dedication to diet, detail, and work ethic.
That's one reason I love seeing your results in supplement logs is because when someone is in as crazy great shape as you, in theory there is less room for improvement, so if something works great for you, its a good chance it would work even better for someone else that hasn't achieved the incredible results that you already have.
I respect your attention to detail and work ethic so much. Even at my absolute best and most dedicated, I don't think I had 50% of the stuff dialed in as much as you.Thank you for the kind words!
What im saying is that 20 years ago i had the goal of being in this shape but with and extra 30-40 pounds of muscle (100kg or 220 pounds). But i quickly realized that that wasnt possible natural for me. So instead i did my best to get as good a physique i could and that required me to be meticulous with everything, training, food, sleep, supplementation etc etc.
Im very happy with where im at, but I wouldnt be a real bodybuilder if i didnt always strive to get better!
Which product was that? AE or M-Test?Best supplement I used for my pre-contest preparation back in 2009
I know AE has only been out for maybe 2 years. Not sure how long M-test has been around but it's been around longer than AE.Which product was that? AE or M-Test?
was that the year of steroid fda ban ? lolBest supplement I used for my pre-contest preparation back in 2009
Interested to hear your thoughts on the Pine Pollen. I have not tried it before but may have to if you end up liking it and notice the effects.Plans forward
So even though my Anabolic Effect run is over, the fun isnt!
As i stated above I will continue with my M-Test and even though i dont mention them often im still taking GlycoPhase and Epi-Plex which i both absolutely love.
I have ordered a bottle of SNS Pine Pollen which i will add to this.
Reason is kinda emberrasing but still important to talk about. My libido just isnt where it shoud be when you think about mow meticulous I am with my food, training, sleep and supplementation. So it will be very interesting to see how this threats me.
There is a lot of great feedback on our Pine Pollen. It seems like pretty much everyone that has tried it has noticed a nice boost in libido.Interested to hear your thoughts on the Pine Pollen. I have not tried it before but may have to if you end up liking it and notice the effects.

And i just got this picture from my fiance... apparently she and my son are baking again... i might have to order some Thermagize or Lean Edge to keep all this off!I am not jealous of your physique and the meal you had on Sunday lol
Cheat day refeed! Those baked goods look tasty!And i just got this picture from my fiance... apparently she and my son are baking again... i might have to order some Thermagize or Lean Edge to keep all this off!

Yeah, the potrait mode gives some crazy quality pictures when you get it right.Awesome. Excited to hear your thoughts on pine pollen.
Picture quality of that is legit. Is that the new iphone "portrait" view?
Agreed! My wife has the latest iphone and i was shocked how well the pictures look. Pros/Cons of that when taking progress picsYeah, the potrait mode gives some crazy quality pictures when you get it right.
This question had came up before .. and we really can’t suggest going against anything that u are making alreadyNice to see you still killing it in here, no surprise! Interested in the pine pollen feedback. Question probably for SNS folks, if someone has seasonal allergies, is ingesting pine pollen going to be an issue? I take zyrtec daily as an example.
The honest answer to that is that the only way to know for sure is to try it and see.Nice to see you still killing it in here, no surprise! Interested in the pine pollen feedback.

I guess I'll refer to you as hugh hefner from now onBut my dreams have been increasingly Playboy Mansion'ish. So something is going on!
My dreams are coming true!I guess I'll refer to you as hugh hefner from now on
Yours and mine!My dreams are coming true!
Achilles injuries are the worst. You don't realize how important that tendon is until you injury it!My achilles are maybe slowly kinda getting better? It still hurts like a mother but ive dropped a few staple exercises that seemed to aggrevate it.
It feels like after all these years in order to actually make any progress I need to get scientific with it!Nice detailed write up. It's starting to look like a scientific experience in here with your posts from whoop! Month of May is going to stink with no refeeds!
Yep. Well at the end of it you should know whether the refeeds are working for you or if dropping them should continueIt feels like after all these years in order to actually make any progress I need to get scientific with it!
I am really motivated for the no refeed month, but yeah im pretty sure I will have some crazy cravings on the weekends. Just have to suck it up and get thru it!
Yeah I love to train but i actually do belive that getting an extra rest day will be good for me.Nice! Always good to switch up the plan every once in awhile. Don't want the body getting to use to your workout routine. 5 day split seems to work for most folks who have been training for awhile.
