low carb low cal high pro

i won't really be extremely pinner i just really want to get rid of this fat i've been carrying around since i was a kid :rukidding:

It will come back unless you make permanent changes.

I have this theory, and there is no real basis for it, that the longer it takes you to lose fat, the longer it will stay that way. Like you could cut down to 5-10% bf in a month by extreme dieting, but then what happens when you start to eat normally again?

Or you could make less drastic changes to your diet, something that you can live on day to day, and adjust your output upward... It will take a lot longer, but you will have a leaner 'every day' body

Maybe it's bullshit I dunno

I don't get people who do this. If you're tired stay home and rest.

Come back the next day and be 110%+ rather than 50%.

havent done incline bench press first thing in my workout in months. if i do it, its usually after slaying dumbells.


new PR 255x3.

:ahwow: what's your flat bench at?

very true
its like girls that loose 20 pounds in a month then next week they are fat casue they had a all you can eat buffet,

mind over matter, almost healed from my sickness will be back in gym by thursday no problem.... been o'ding on vitamin D and oil of oregeno.. :D

did that also tonight

same theory as me. i'm looking for really basic things i can change/do help slowly get rid of my fat

Leangains

did 245x2 for skwats

its been a while

Thing is, if i stay home and since its been a while since I worked out, I will just get lazy and start missing out more. Even if its not the greatest working tomorrow, it is still necessary to go. IMHO

^ i agree

a shit day in the gym, is still working towards keeping the habbit

i think my max is 285x3 or 295x1 or something like that. cant quite remember as its been a while. havent really been shooting for PRs in a while. it was 2 plates plus a 25 plus a 5 or 10.

Just curious, but anyone here every competed at bodybuilding shows before? Seeing as how most of you guys lift super heavy and do lots of 5x5s I'm assuming most of you here are powerlifters as opposed to bodybuilders..

lol im pretty sure the majority here lift more so for aesthetics and geared more towards bodybuilding routines.

I disagree. Berz, halo, and mike are the only ones that stand out to me as being into bb regimes. The rest are building for power, like the guys showing crazy dl videos that do not look like BBers at all.

Of course I could be missing some, but based on my recollection, most here are more into strength than looks.

Been sick for two weeks..lost so much muscle... finally feeling a bit better.
Might try to gym it up tomorrow!! goodnight rs

Skinnypup, you may be on to something. I was 185, dropped to 164ish in just slightly over a month due to ankle injury.
Skyrocketed back to 190-195 darn fast (Month later I believe, after being able to walk). lol.

I felt better/leaner couple years back when I was aiming for around consistent 160ish by dieting (making healthier choices) for months to make weight for tourneys.

Agree as well - seems more Powerlifters than BB's

I always squat and deadlift and am more focused on power lifting.

Have to quote this because it is so true. I am learning this the hard way. This is my first time bulking then cutting. (Started lifting in 2010) I was 6'0" 200lbs and started cutting in February. I'm now 178lbs and way leaner but only a 2 pack.

I also see what you guys were saying a while back how you can look bigger when you have lost weight and have more muscle definition. With my shirt off I look bigger, but with shirt on I look smaller.

Yup it's a mind fuck. Shirt off you look beast when cut but you lack the overall mass that fills out the shirts when bulked.

Berz out.

The gym is an infection in my mind. All morning all I do is count down the hours until I can go lift. Fuck I love it. Shoulders today. Love dat der delt pump.

My overhead DB press is lacking due to the fact I gots no spots. Hard to really push yourself on that when you can't get those one or 2 extra reps. With shoulder presses I find it really hard to grind out an extra rep when fatigued. Might try Smith Presses.....

Berz out.

BRB repped out 100lb DB's on flat and incline bench back to back on international chest day.
