In this bi-otch til the last methyl is popped & we've got pics from the day of show. Looking big & lean man, very impressive physique. Can't wait to see contest!

hahaa thx man - Hyde you bring color to any thread you enter :D
glad to have you on
What methylated compound(s) are you considering for the 6-8wk finisher
Click to expand...
probably mechabol..pickings are getting slimmer all the time
what are your thoughts on dietary cholesterol and its impact (or lack thereof) on lipid levels? Mainly looking at your use of egg whites here at times, with whole eggs elsewhere. I almost always use whole, unless I'm super counting calories & trying to shave wherever possible.
Click to expand...
unless you have preX medical condition that precludes such - cholesterol, FTW!
you miss the point of my maneuvering: I simply need to sacrifice some things to get all my allotted and different fats in the mix (huge fan of red meat if you didn't notice)..natty PB/almond butter/evoo/evco/even some heavy whipping cream sparingly to name a few - and that doesn't even get to my omega3s (which I don't even count at this stage of the game)..
whole eggs are great!
I am always counting what I put in my mouth, cannot help it..i'm like a cartoon character with the speech balloon that appears above its head -- except whenever I eat, it's populated by #s instead of words :p





fit in an extra leg session today, before I begin the set format MON..was excellent
5x15/12/10/10/8 atg BB squats, heels raised
5x15/12/10/10/8 BB RDLs
4x15/12/12 1-legged extensions ss w/
4x15/12/12 1-legged curls
5x20-->15 standing BB calf raises, heels alternated 3 positions
light warm-up & cooldowns

tennis on for tomorrow - we may have rain, if so then we're moving it inside :(
one way or another, it will get done
 
I just can't imagine playing tennis....I can hardly chase my kids without getting winded :P

well that's not kewl brogan :hitwithrock:

and this is why I don't blow up to 230ish -- I like to perform out there, as well as look good!
:lol:

(althoooo - I do have to say, the crazy results I am getting on this andro/alpha stack have made it easier than ever to gain size..got me thinking about the day I "retire" from sports, and try to get big like brick house montego) :daydream:
 
here's some randomness..help me figure this one out
so Cleveland Indians reliever chris perez gets popped having some weed delivered - thru the mail - to his house :smoker:

now: quantity aside (was "personal use" amount, ~ 1/3lb), still..is it not illegal to ship controlled substance thru the mail, and doesn't that make it a felony federal offense?
an attorney likens this to a traffic ticket, and says a conviction likely would only entail a fine
am I missing something here, or has US law changed while I was out working out?

:confused:
 
some new gear came in mail today..
dunno about this one guys - XL is fitting very snug, need double-X next time pleez :p
not quite as cool as the Freak shirts

I know what happend....they sent Snags OUR shirts on acccident. :mad:

So Snags requires an XXL and you guys are only XL? Not as Freaky as Snags?

I love my Freak shirt. Wearing it in the San Diego gym and its getting attention!
 
oh I feel the love from my fellow Freaks :)

nice mark! ;)

as for the shirt - shoot montego would have to slice this up and wear it as a bra..
ed may be able to wear it, if he's still in that 180s range..

dunno if this is for the show (when they figured i'd be downsized & able to fit into it), or for my demos
 
Hey brother your XL should fit me just dandy, sittin at about 201 @ 5'10'' right now but not as muscular as you...so should be able to rock it perfect ;)

Just had 7 wks of 1-andro thru me plus a bunch of pure test & revo afterward, so I think I could sport it in good faith. Heck, I'm still on the Revolution :head:

I broke mine today. I'm too heavy I guess.
 
Looking good Snags, really cleaned up nicely! Your back is so lean, leaner than your front even. I guess we all have our gifts, my legs rip up first your back tends to rip up lightning fast and it is the last to go for me.

yeah - kinda went different approach to get the quick size boost, ala similar to what you have been doing..was losing a lil too fast, wanna pace myself properly, just a little correction, and will only help the metabolism long-term
i hate waterweight tho - was miserable for a minute lol..leveling back in ~202-203 for now

and indeed it is interesting how individual we are in where we lose fat first, totally agree with you on my back vs front, as well as you & your legs, wheels are ridiculous for you! (and again one of the last to come in for me)

good to see you back & beating down the sickness
let's rock it ;)
 
nice lil 475cal meal

Invalid Link Removed

4oz ground turkey, slice low-fat cheese on Ezekiel toasted,
5oz albacore and handful of greens
(i am just on a roll with these damn beans right now, don't think they've ever tasted this good to me lol)


dietary change:
3850cals ON days
3350cals OFF days
(difference being my postWO shake)
 
so some unexpected travel came into play this week, FRI & over the w/e..
won't have the time to do end-of-week pics, so here we are
no workout today..my kid didn't quite let me get set in my poses, trigger finger he is :p

Damn dude. I need to get to work so I can look that freaky

mmm maybe 7% range
they are popping already - that front shot is a relaxed ab pose, lifting my lats by pushing up rib cage..
you cannot do that pose and flex down on abs at same time
veins tho - i need to get leaner than that for them to start showing all over

Got it. I figured as much about the front pose. I wasn't trying to say they weren't popping already ;) Arms are looking vascular as hell though!
 
Arms always look vascular as hell before everything....not to take anything away snags! Idk why you feel you need so much more arm work in proportion to other parts. I think they're looking like cannons from the pics you've posted man.
 
appreciated guys
and Hyde - yeah i'm done focusing on the arms, they blow up pretty decent..just gotta maintain now
it is time to turn attention to the legs - hard to keep size on these guys when i'm running around playing tennis
but - i got a plan ;)

Yeah man you're looking solid, how far out are you?

I agree with focusing on your legs.
Not saying yours are small, they look good, but everyone can always use bigger legs, especially on a big stage.
 
Steve all you need to do is get shredded your proportion is spot on. That's how I see it anyhow.

It fuggin works and you will be able to pick it up fast as you are not as tall as me and have a very strong core with good overall conditioning. It's a big time saver too. I do 1 set twice a week to failure. 3 minutes a week tops.

~11.5 weeks
legs were one time my weak point..worked hard and made them my strong point for awhile, until injuries kicked me back down the slide past few yrs (calf tear/meniscus issues/Achilles fraying)..
was on way to getting them back in decent shape when the hems hit :rant:
i won't have enough time to really get these things huge, but some size will be added and they will be diced, i promise :)

Yep des so much damage in a short time that large volume work is not needed.
 
I did the wheel of death my self today!

was interesting..dint really feel too hard, 3x20, but abs were popping nicely after - actually led off session with these to assess..i think they will certainly be a valuable addition to the fray

after training pumpage

Invalid Link Removed

chest/shoulders/abs
flat BB bench
incline BB bench
incline DB flyes
seated front BB press
seated military
standing laterals

cooldown
 
I've done 20 maybe once....right now I am having trouble just getting past 10....
 
thought i'd throw a smile out to the AM forum members.. :D

really? that surprises me..maybe i'm not doing them right - hell I can even do them from standing position
(that one IS a lil tougher tho)
feel it in my lats a lot tho as I keep them tight and focus on the ab region
 
These were tufff for me when I fiirst started them. Now they don't really do much. Weighted ab training here on out.
 
Nice vascularity in general. Those ab wheels were my nightmare back in the day, maybe I should pull it back out and dust it off. Would be interesting.
 
Thx for the shirt Steve.

I noticed its a diff manufacturer and material?
 
Looking huge man. Do you always do that much pressing??
Would destroy my rotators.

Also, do you do any upper back work inbetween sets of presses?

not sure what you got chris
is prolly different material tho yes

I have pretty much indestructible shoulders, srs..
strength and flexibility are on point here..pressing movements in general I hold my own on

I rarely do shoulders/chest same day - it is simply my set competition routine for now, because everything flows so well of the set-up for me

as for upper back work between presses, have before sure, when I get into ss'ing and giant-setting..may even pull off some doubles..i change things up quite frequently, but not quite so much during prep - what's worked before i'll use again
