TomKat might be doing a "cut"

I saw him posting the other day about his upcoming clen run... Jesus Christ.

Pizza and Clen stack.

I remember how he kept arguing with me about how white bread was great post workout on a cut... I used to feel like smashing my head into my monitor nightly...
 
MrBigPR said:
Haha, I haven't touched white bread in years. Seems like he is on Clen every other month :pat:
Click to expand...

Rationale being that the white bread was a simple carb that would help spike insulin to feed his muscles...

Um, that's a great idea dude, but you're pushing 20% BF right now.
 
Nobody get's under your skin like Tom does. You were just busting on Buster... but you literally get angry at Tom... it's pretty classic.

Strength comes first Teg...then the size! Good progress happening here bubba...160 will be in the rear view mirror from here on.
 
Hey Teg, for those Deads - I'd suggest throwing out a bunch of those sets...

Go 8 @ 135, 6 @185, then attack that 215... If you still want more, strip and re-attack.
 
:goodpost:

Seems like you are doing more than you actually need to. Got busy over here so I couldn't write that right away.

After looking back at it, i think your both right for sure. I got a lil to worried i think about not getting up the heavy weight and still stayed focused on the reps to much. Gah i gotta stop that....

Thanks you all very much for the encoragment and tips! Mon ill start just focusing on all main parts, kinda like TLs Split, which i really like on paper.
 
Are you pulling your elbows back as far as they'll go there? Try leaving them forward a bit to show off your lats.

Nice work homie. I think I'm seeing a bit of difference in the bicep.
 
TL- Like this? Can you tell i dont pose much or know much about it lol Thank for the tip brother!

Teg is on a roll here. Looking good bubba. It's there for the making....now keep setting those goals.
 
Yep, see how that pulled your lats out? Gives that nice V shape. I'm just learning how to pose myself - but for us tall dudes, it looks much better to keep those arms forward and down a bit for the back dbl bi to accentuate the lats.

Also - you have some nice vascularity in your arms for when those suckers come out soon.
 
Yeah he does...going to be sick when he swoles up!!

Funny you story about my Vascularity. Last year when i was lifting i was doing BB Curls IN THE SQUAT RACK,, JK hahaha, anyways, a new girl had started working there and came up to me and goes "Wow, your pretty strong for your size and you have some crazy vascularity, are you juicing?"

I chuckled and go, nope, i just train hard!

I just didnt "feel" in it today for some reason? I mean i hit 165 for 2reps and am very happy with that no doubt, but nothing felt right today, atleast compared to last week? Deff. didnt have the energy feeling to keep going! But i threw up nice numbers regardless, so im happy! But what do you guys think? Should i switch something? Add something? Take away????
 
looks pretty solid man. Dont you take pre w.o. supp? id switch that up then. Sometimes i get used to the pre supp and have to switch it up. Right now though im trying not to take any of that. What about coffee? gunpowder greentea? I know its hard to figure out on how the diet would be effecting it...... Stumach been messin with yah? that could be another reason boss.... For me, which i know my diet is completely different, That you not getting alot vegies.... What about veggie supplement? Just a few thought hoss.
 
Nope No Pre Workout Supp... I was taking SizeOn w/PW for during is all. Been lookin at what to go with next????? I think ill just finish out this last lil bit of GlycerGrow for now since ill prob be starting a cycle soon.

Nah not Gut issues at all, just mentally drained, and kinda felt lethargic. Was "hard" to get into my "USUAL" focused balls to the wall workout.

Yes on the green supps...(Lookin for a new one. wanna try perfect food but to spendy)

I think today was just an off day. We have been getting "hot" lol over here this last week and my body is just getting drained from the heat, and the last 2nites i didnt sleep the greatest... Im goin to up the water intake and see what happens.
 
perfect food is a good product i love the stuff. organic pharmacies.org has them for a good price. check it out

Weight = 156 :( WTH???????????????????????????????

Well im SUPER STOKED with the RDLs as you can tell! It was such an AWESOME feeling to get that up for 3reps, and then feel like you could do more! The rest of the work out was just a "breeze" after that! I know to yall thats nothing, but dang, for me, ive NEVER got passed 1rep 215 RDLs!
Sooo TL, TY for the advice and my back feels SHRREDED from that WO, much more then last time! :notworthy:

Why i dropped the weight tho, im not sure???? Ive been eatting, BUT it has gotten much hotter here and have been every day! Then again, ive always done this with tryin to get over the 160/165 wall! Owell........

On a TOTALLY different note-
Some of you already know whats goin to happen very soon :wiggle:

So stay tuned :wave2:
 
with face pulls, i sit down on the floor, and brace my feet against the machine. from there, its a bicep curl that turns into a reverse fly - moving the elbows till they're in line with your head.

when doing them standing, i have to lean back. a lot.

good workout by the way!
 
Nice workout my man. Keep working on those deads, you're gonna be a beast soon!

I wouldn't worry about the weight lost, I fluctuate 5 pounds very easily. Eat some carbs if you're worried!
 
Nice w/o Teg. The grip strength will come with time. Do you use an overhand or underhand grip for the BB rows. I go underhand just because it seems to force me into using more lats than upper back. Just drop your rear and arch the back...pull to your upper belly. Sunny has the right idea on the face pulls too. Do them sitting and pull with your elbows. Keep the momentum going here Teg!!
 
TimberLakers said:
YW on the RDL my man... Get some straps now.

Face pulls - just get into a nice deep stance and lower the pulley a bit...
Click to expand...

I like that you are teaching people good lessons on how to train back. My work here is done. :28:

Teg - invest in some wraps if you want to increase your deadlift numbers. It isn't going to help your grip, but it's not really a grip exercise. I do them w/out wraps because I am nuts like that, but in reality my last sets should have wraps. I suggest you do just that, and use wraps, but just for the stuff that you need them for.
