Gotta love it when you visit your doctor and all the nurses are talking about your muscles.

Here's a recent pic of me looking like shit, was posted in the pic thread, but I figured it could go here too.

Gonna cut after one round of 5/3/1 BBB unless told otherwise by a coach, still figuring that out though. Should hit 180 after cutting to 9%, at least. Not sure what I'll be at comp weight, but surely over 175.

 

[Cudder]

you're fucking forearms look the same size as your bi's. jesus.

Getting ready to be Popeye for Halloween huh?

First thing I thought.

Dood is a manbeast.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Damn dude those forearms are ginormous!

 

[SeanR1221]

I think your forearms are the size of my thighs.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Not to take anything away from Darth, bu the camera there is obviously at an odd angle givin him a disproportionate look. That's why his arms look so odd compared to say his head and shoulders. The camera is obviously low and angled up instead of taken directly on.

 

[Powercast]

Do you isolate your forearms in your training or is that just from heavy ass DLs + genetics? lol

 

[Rice-Eater]

Well if Darth is as tall as he looks in that photo, then that's probably how he would look to me from my 5'7 point of view

you serious? it's a pretty decent head on pic.

i smell saltiness.

You can't be serious...

If you are, you obviously don't know me.

You are likely right, it's a weird angle and the proportions of forearm to head are akin to Ronnie Coleman. Not to bring Wufei down or anything.

Regarding Darth's pic, it is the arms that are huge from the training and workout, not that the head is too small. It fits perfectly onto the torso and rest of the body if you watch carefully.

He is into competitive bodybuilding after all, so big arms are a given.

Look, I'm not knocking him people. "You don't need to defend him, Darth is a big boy. I know Darth is a BB specimen, I'm commenting on how disproportionate he looks because in this picture he does. His arms don't go with his head/shoulders and his hips don't fit the rest of him. That's explicitly because of the angle/positioning of where the camera is in this picture. Hell, look where he center of the camera is, and look at how he's looking down. I don't know how this isn't obvious to everyone, or I'm just nuts.

Anyway, Darth you're a beast man, keep it up.

I thought you were commenting that his arms were that big because of how "low" the camera was and that he was cheating to get that effect. The camera looks like it's maybe a foot below his midsection.

oh I am sure you aren't knocking him or anything, in fact I agree that whoever thinks you are salty is complete wrong, you have shown praise for Darth in the past, and most regulars know you enough to see that that's not the case.

That being said, I watch the pic and it makes sense after staring a couple of seconds at it but that's me... is a matter of appreciation.

 

[FallingEdge]

darth is a strong man who I'd be happy to squat with.

yup.

Good shit Darth, you find a coach?

Cutting meal:

2 and a half chicken breasts and a salad bowl of: tomatoe - lettuce - onions - broccoli - spinach - beans.

I only started seriously eating veggies recently, that's why I add olives to hide some of the taste, but man is it a filling meal! It's only about 650 calories but feels like 2000.

 

[Spiritreaver]

I think this is my favorite page of this thread of all time. You all are awesome.

Alienshogun.... I love you so much.

Calm down there buddy, not sure I could handle all that beastly love.

Have you seen his legs?

lol darth's legs should hire you as their personal agent it was only because you PM'd him that we got to see those thighs in the real pic thread back then.

They are probably one of the single most impressive things we've seen in this thread.

Where you guys finding these body fat tests in public? I want to check mine but don't feel like buying a caliper.

Had a really bad leg day today. I didn't get any sleep Sunday night and felt like shit on Monday; my rest day. Today I woke up feeling terrible and postponed the gym until 9:45 tonight and it was just bad.

My squats and deadlifts were sluggish. My form was terrible and my pace was snail-like. Tomorrow's a new day I guess. Chest/Tri and HIIT tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be better than tonight.

One positive thing is that I had a PR for deadlifts. It doesn't say much since I started doing them 3-4 weeks ago, but I got up to 210 at 5 reps.

 

[Spiritreaver]

This is so damn accurate! I really do look like a gorilla, even my head. I have that massive jaw structure, I hate it lol.

Also all this water weight. I've never felt this bloated ever. I really need to cut as much sodium as I can. I'm usually great at that, but I've been lazy with my diet lately thanks to classes (as you guys can see). It's whatever, just means I have to cut earlier, but I should still hit my goal.

Thankfully my freezer is now full of chicken, frozen berries, and broccoli. I've got 10 lbs of oatmeal, 5 lbs of brown rice, and a bunch of good snacks stocked up.

No reason I should even think of eating anything I didn't get from home now.

Good shit Darth, you find a coach?

Not yet man, I'm still waiting for a buddy to get back to me before I make any decisions. There's also a show coming up here in my town that I want to go to and see if I can make any contacts. I'll probably have a coach, if I decide to go that route, by the end of the month.

F that shit you look like you can kill people with your bear hands.

 

[Doodis]

Not to mention his bare hands.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Alien, have you ever posted your pic?

 

[Log4Girlz]

Why would we mention those?

 

[snoopen]

 

[Man]

Guessing I'm an Ottermode +2.

edit: *kauf*
Ottermode
Male body type combining skinny, muscular and very low bodyfat with well defined abs.
Used recently in fitness forums. Examples are Taylor Lautner, Brad Pitt.
Suggested by many as the ideal male bodytype because it is not threatening to females like huge muscles.

 

[despire]

Alien, have you ever posted your pic?

Many times I believe. He just posted few after his cut some weeks ago..

 

[Major_Lazer]

I'll be under builtfat, not going to bother cutting down just focus on power/strength and speed.

 

[Carbonox]

I'd fall under builtfat. Bear mode though, there's a goal to achieve.

 

[Cheeto]

I'm builtfat too, trying to swing more towards athletic but I have no discipline when it comes to diet.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Alien, have you ever posted your pic?

Yeah, several times, lol. The most recent was after my cut but I only got down to 218 (back at 223 right now). I even posted a shirtless pic much to the dismay of anyone eating at the time.

Here ya go Oogie if ya missed them, the last one was on vacation.

Athletic is just a natural body builder IMO. It's also shredded. Doubtful someone looks like that 12 months out of the year.

 

[kylej]

darth gettin heuuuugeee

Not quite there yet, but I'm on my way (need more muscle and BF% is still too high).

Fucking beastmode...impressive.

He's wearing the wrong shirt if you ask me, should have picked the heavy.

 

[TheExodu5]

I guess I'm skinny fat with a bit more fat at the moment. Still working my way down. Scale hasn't gone down much in the past 2 months, but I'm definitely looking a lot better.

 

[CrankyJay]

BTW, had a nice week off from diet and gym...just got back this morning. Could have powered through my bench press high easily but went for the extra reps this morning. Guessing it was because of the rest/extra cals?

213 to 189, 189 to 192...hoping I can gap down 192 to 185-183

 

[bro1]

This chart is awful. Athletic/Built are way off the scale even for most professional athletes. Hell, most athelets are closer to otter/builtfat. The Athletic/Built is not how most athletes look or would strive to look to do their sports.

 

[SeanR1221]

I'm going for fat as fatass. Come at me, bros.
