Nothing beats making an awesome transformation and then running into someone who had not seen you since way before and seeing the shocked look of amazement on their faces when they see you and actually say your name, like as if it is so incredible they have to make sure it is really you, Love it, love it, love it!!! Congrats Bro!

Mood: INVINCIBLE
Energy: Pretty good, Used a sample packet of Hemo-Rage (not ultra concentrate) Grape Flavored
Other notes: Not too much to note on this workout other than i was definitely stronger and i emphasized a lot of Fascia stretching. Felt it ESPECIALLY in my lats. It's weird the feeling the day after you get after fascia stretching too it's like an uncomfortable soreness.

Thanks guys! :) Things are going really good right now i just want to continue to progress day in and out. Lowering calories a little bit more today to 2700 (off day) or so. I figure the best way to keep progressing is to get away with the minimum amount of calories i need to progress in my workouts, That way i'm increasing my strength as much as possible while losing as much fat as possible without sacrificing performance!

LOL that's awesome makes me feel better that people are actually reading it all xP
 
The thing that kinda sucks is i feel like i deserve 10x the results with how much effort i put into these workouts i mean seriously that's why i'm so adamant about this winter bulk. Only when i have ridiculous amounts of calories is where it all pays off, i grow like a weed when i go into that mode!
 
ScottyDoc said:
LoL, I agree, but then again, no body part is confusing for people who have good genetics for that body part, but guys who have a lagging body part is not always due to lack of work or effort, just finding the right combination of exercises that assist in catching that body part up with the rest that are easier for them, see what I mean? So I guess what I'm trying to say is, "easier said than done"

Not trying to call him out, just saying that mine is stubborn too, and I try to mix it up to no avail.
 
thetinyguy;2965979 On another note today i saw my friends mom who hasn't seen me in probably at least half a year and she didn't even recognize me but she said i look "Damn good and I've filled out" haha.[/QUOTE said:
She hot bro?????????????/ LMFAO!

Another note for the day, Put on an XL shirt i have and it feels kind of tight, but not on my waist ;) I'm really really looking forward to tomorrow's workout. I plan to go down to about 3500 calories tomorrow and today i'm at 2600, I'm starting to see a little bit more of fat loss as i slowly lower the cal's, I also plan to slowly lower the cals by 200-300 every week and as long as i'm still maintaining/improving on my lifts then i'll keep going to find that "Sweet spot" which will ultimately yield maximum fat loss and maximum strength gain. I might have to be a little quick about it as well too since i have a few weeks left of dieting (This might change but it all depends) I just would like to lose a little bit more fat! As long as i pay attention to detail i don't think i should have a problem finding that perfect amount. ALSO that extra water is still giving me that "pump" like feel throughout the day, I actually feel a little different as well i can't really put it into words but i feel a lot better. Guess well see how tomorrow's workout goes!

Diet Breakdown 8/11/11

Workout went very well today! Added in 1 arm leaning db fly and reverse grip incline bench press on smith machine. The reverse grip incline KILLED my upper chest and tri's, so much that when i actually got to tri's i was spent so i just ended the workout. Also used fascia stretching on everything and my tri's i would say got the best of it or i felt it the most. Will post workout later!

I used to use reverse grip as a triceps exercise. I think it worked my upper chest nicely, worked my triceps nicely as well
 
Man you ain't kidding. I can never find pants that fit. My legs and A$$ are always too big and my waist is too small. Then when I put my belt on my pants bunch at the waist aghhhhh damn you.

Haha sweat pants and huge shirts FTW!

Yeah i definitely felt it in upper chest/tri's, only thing is it's sort of an awkward movement i'm still trying to find out the best position for the bench under the bar. If i'm too close it pushes my shoulders in and feels really weird but if i go to far away it's even more awkward but i feel it better haha

Same here, it's gotta be the perfect combo of length too because the legs will pull them up. Most of the time i just go to sweatpants until i go to work or shorts.

only sweat pants is lounging in the house, roadtrips, or the gym

Nautica makes nice jeans that fit - biggest my legs have been are 29.5 right now about 26-27 im guessing . Chaps make a pair as well i have a couple threads on other forums where members commented in and we all found jeans that fit our big legs and butts.

Other notes: I'm also down 1.5lbs from last week so my diet is good right now where it's at. Last week i was 225.2Lbs and today i am 223.8Lbs. So as of right now 3500 training days, 2500-2600 off days.
 
Did some skateboarding today for about 2 hours! THAT is cardio haha, i always notice after skating i'm extremely tired. Not exactly sure why but i enjoy it a lot more than cardio and lucky enough for me a skate-park is built right by my house now! I won't be taking huge risks because i don't want to jeopardize my training but basic tricks are all i work at. It should be interesting to soon see a 250Lbs+ 6' 4" Musclebound guy skating around smashing ollies and riding mini-ramps :D

Do they make titanium skateboards yet? I can't imagine the punishment you'll be doing to the standard ply board. Could get expensive!

I was really surprised actually i used an 8.25" wide board and it was PERFECT and i could pull of tricks without worrying about it breaking :) I even used a 7.75" wide board and it held up as well. I guess it's just a lot more about where you land on it! I hope i don't break decks over and over...
 
Ahhh I remember the days I was 250 pounds at 5'9 I use to bully guys at the gym LOL. Anyway I wish I had your problem with huge legs, I would wear tight shorts if I did and show them off even in church haha jk.

Ahhh I remember the days I was 250 pounds at 5'9 I use to bully guys at the gym LOL. Anyway I wish I had your problem with huge legs, I would wear tight shorts if I did and show them off even in church haha jk.

Haha i hope i can one day be the "nice" bully of the gym! I want to build huge(er) legs as well, i'm glad you appreciate the detail i throw down on this log. It takes me usually a good amount of time just to type it all up but it's worth it if i inspire some people! I made my peach creation i sure hope it's good enough, i sure put the effort in! :)

Just takes a bunch of practice and trail and error.

Side note for today, took pic's and i don't see too much a difference but i really feel like i'm in that zone of BF % where not too much changes as i drop 2% or so and then BAM you see changes. I definitely feel leaner and i'm seeing more separation/definition in my body. I'll post the pic's later

Oh and i just noticed i messed up the lighting i used a different angle, For consistency sake i'm going to retake them with the right light on. It looks like my arms/shoulders are getting a lot bigger. It's probably just the illusion of my waist getting smaller i think my chest looks a little more full as well :)
It's difficult to note changes to yourself when your so used to seeing what you look like you know?
 
Taking progress pics is a beesh, especially unassisted. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Yeah, agreed. I won't be satisfied til heavier weights are lifted or big size is put on.

Yeah i try to keep it as controlled as possible but things always slip by.
 
Lot's of good news! Today got 305 x 10 on SLDL it turned into a normal deadlift but i still feel it a ton in my hamstrings/glutes. AND i won in the AppNut's Peach Tea Lit-Up contest Invalid Link Removed Plus since i'm going to log it they're throwing in a bottle of DRIVE for free to log with Lit Up! This is awesome! :D Drive supports muscle growth as well so i think this should be here by the time i start bulking you all should enter the contest, as long as you come up with something decent you pretty much win and they're giving 25 tubs of it away 40 servings each.

Post up your new pics. Curious to see what one looks like with the amount of training you are doing.

It helps a lot with cutting but i really feel this type of training is 1000x better with a bulk! Still see strength gains but i'll be even more satisfied when i have the extra cals :)

There are some subtle difference i don't think the pic's caught, like my right arm i have a vein that's finally coming in! I guess i do have vascularity under there somewhere :) I really feel my diet is now good, I wish pic's caught what i'm seeing because i feel so much different and leaner than that last pic. I know this is that area where you don't see a ton of progress fat wise and then it sneaks up on you. My fat sits around my lower waist and obliques so once that gets eaten up it should be a huge difference! Still working at it :D
 
Comparison from First day in log :D
Funny thing is in the first pic i'm pretty much doing front relaxed (flare lats and tense up) and the second one i'm pretty much just relaxed.

Leg Day!! 8/14/11
Duration: 3 Hours (Longer rest periods)
Mood: Unstoppable
Energy: Was really really tired this morning so i slept in a little bit, After that i was good to go. I tried a sample of Pre-workout from Universal nutrition called Shock Therapy. Was pretty good nothing too special, Taste wasn't extremely good but got the job done.
Other notes: Nothing too much to note for today. Just the usual workout with some heavier weights :)
Lifts:
Barbell Back Squats- ATG, 5th Pin from take off in Power-Rack. Becoming easier and easier. Progress is becoming 2-4 rep increments BUT those reps are challenging as f*ck!
175 x 13 *PR* +3 Reps
185 x 10 *PR* +2 Reps
205 x 4
205 x 6 *PR* +2 Reps
215 x 2 *PR*
Notes: My form is becoming a lot better, Hamstrings are definitely loosening up. That 10lb increase was pretty tough!
Stiff Legged DeadLifts- in Power Rack with pins set at last pin. Used Rest/Pause today to help me progress.
225 x 20 *PR* +4 Reps
285 x 3
305 x 1
305 x 10 *PR* +4 Reps
Notes: I might prioritize these before squats, i think it would definitely help me progress better on this exercise. Well see how the next workout goes first!
Leg Press- Very glad my friend told me about the ROM on this because now i feel it 100% in my quads haha
200 x 14
290 x 12
340 x 10
290 x 10
Drop set to
200 x 10
45 Degree Seated Calve Raises/Standing Calf Raises- Did a circuit of 45 degree and standing calve raises today, supersets one right after the other then a 30 second rest then restart. Stretching them to death!
180/75 x 5 Circuits 10 Sets *PR* Stretching from various angles.
Lying Leg Curls- Focused on contracting the hamstrings as hard as i could.
120 x 13
150 x 10 *PR* +4 Reps
165 x 11 *PR* +2 Reps
105 x 12
Drop set to
75 x 8
Immediately followed by stretching hams, it's helping big time!
Notes: When I stretch for say my calves it feels like they go on fire but that is supposed to be the fascia slowly tearing *Good way* i just hold that for about 20 seconds.
Leg Extensions- Got to these today, was stronger on these as well.
230 x 10
240 x 10 *PR*
240 x 14 *PR*
205 x 10
Drop set to
115 x 10

Total: 34 Sets

Other Notes: Felt really good today, all lifts are belt-less. I use straps on some of the heavy deadlifting but that's it. This is the balance i'd like while cutting down. Not insane gains by any means but as soon as those cals go up after dieting then WHAM PR city! haha
