ill just wait and get chipotle this weekend. I'll probably have 2 turkey burger patties with two eggs and cheese on top instead.
Or I'll use the turkey patties as "bread" and have a custom double down.
Burritos cure hunger. Haven't eaten since 6AM. Grabbed this luscious and sexy burrito from one of the local stands near campus. I'm in love. I love you burrito. I love you.
I have shoulders tonight, followed by using said shoulders to lift 54 eight foot wooden tables above my head.

if I were to use Rippetoe's humor, I'd say to everyone "first things first, man up and bring a full beard to the gym" lol
yeah, that's what I noticed and I don't know what to make of it, I look thicker but part by part it looks.. well expect for shoulder maybe, it's just more solid than before but not a lot bigger. The pic has a bad angle for chest but I think I have more of it... the shadow pic with the arm, there definitely is more, if I tried that same stance back then, those curves made by the muscles wouldn't be there, no chance at all. Anyway, maybe it's a matter of time and training with better quality, I don't even have a year with this.
regarding the talk about abs... I think I've reached a dead-end, I have been adding different moves, throwing everything I can at them and I don't see a change. When I first started hanging leg raises it was very visible but know the body got used to it...or something, I don't know. I haven't tried weighted HLRs but maybe is about time I did... the other thing would be lowering the bodyfat % and see if I look different not because I care to look lean but because I'd like to see a difference for a change.
but I definitely do not entertain the idea of cutting now in winter. Fall and Winter Bulk, Spring and Summer, cut.
Now I remember why I started with dumbbells.

Nice. Love burritos, but I'm warming up to burrito bowls.

Popped my right groin today doing a2g squats. No squats for at least three weeks is what I'm reading. :/ :/
I guess it'll force me to incorporate more upper body since I'm lagging there anyway. But now driving stick is tough lol. Fuck.

Why are you eating raw eggs
That sounds awful! How did it happen?
"GAF" told me to.
Forget that, man. Cook em up, add some vegetables and enjoy a delicious omelet instead. Drinking raw eggs sounds so unnecessary.
Hello mates! Just wanted to join in on all the fitness stuff, been stalking this thread before I had an account for awhile and the progress you guys have made has been amazing. Keep grubbing and lifting!
This is me three days out from my IRONMAN competition. Ignore the goofy face lol
I took first place in my class and I have two shows this July that I am prepping for.
Happy lifting mates!

looking good dood. And first place is no joke. Damn impressive.
We really do need to get a collection of these pics and organize them for motivation and whatnot.
Totally not creepy.

That's what I had for lunch. Double chicken bowl. I fucking crushed it.
Yes..for motivation, exactly.
Damn, impressive work, man - good luck with the contest!
...Careful, people are going to jump on you for not getting beef.
Last week I got a barbacoa bowl and the meat wasn't normal...I got the bottom of the basket so it was all small and too juicy. So I vowed to make up for that by getting chicken.
Their steak sucks.
I eat tons of beef/bacon throughout the week to make up for it.
Are you just squatting once a week? Maybe you could do BBB Squats on 531 Deadlift day.
Or you could switch the Squat to Texas Method programming where you do 5x5 sets across at maybe 80% of your 1RM on Monday and then do 1x5 on Friday with your 5RM+5lb (adding 5lb every week), keeping the 531 template for the other lifts.
Speaking of 531, have you guys seen this blog? It's basicaly a year-long training log of a guy doing 531 to achieve his goals. Very detailed and also very motivating.

Always get double chicken when eating at Chipotle.
Always.
Always.
Yeah but it costs extra.

Question for you all. I think I'm in skinny fat range and get conflicting answers at every turn.
Some yt guys I watch say bulk from skinny fat. Some say get lean and then bulk.
I'm guessing I'm at like 30% body fat? (warning - man gut below
http://i.imgur.com/xQCnQ6P.jpg
Pics aren't great quality so here are measurements:
Arms: 14.25
Around belly : 37-38ish
Below belly: about the same, closer to 38
From Oct-late dec I was doing keto and eating about 1400 cals. Doing starting strength type workout and cardio during this time.
From Jan 1 - now I have been doing a plan with a friend that is pretty much starting strength and some other lifts added on top. Lift days are Mon/Thurs/Fri with some combo of these lifts: squats, cleans, snatches, bench, incline bench, seated row, overhead press, calf raises.
Cardio 2-3 days a week (except this week - none this week). Cardio is either a good pace jog for 3 miles or 30 mins on treadmill burning about 200-250 cals.
I eat around 2200-2300 cals right now. Still doing keto (65/30/5) ratios - not a fan of keto at all tho. Tired of cooking bacon, always feel like I'm eating bullshit (bacon, pepperoni, heavy cream, etc)
Most sites spit out 2700ish as a maintenance ammount for me. Stats I input to the calculators are:
29 years old
6'0"
200ish lb (201-203 depends on day)
Moderate activity level / 4 workouts a week
If I go with bulk, I was thinking about 3000 cals/day?
If I go with more cutting, stick with this 2200/day?
Any input is appreciated, have gotten good advice in this thread before.
Anyone mind taking a look and giving some quick advice? Anyone able to estimate my BF%? Having that # would help me figure out a more accurate daily cal ammount for either cut or bulk. I've been plugging 30% into the calculators I'm using.
I'm just giving you shit, since I got it for not eating beef on my bulk.
LOL, I'm on a cut.
The weird thing is, on my last cut I ate at 1900 cals and was hardly hungry.
My wife and I had a baby 3 months ago so I put back on like 15 pounds. Now that we're settled in I'm on the same cut and defecit and I'm fucking ravenous all the time, doing the same workout routine.
I crushed the fuck out of that bowl, but I'm already down 6 pounds in about 2 weeks.
My cut macros are different this time tho...it was 40p/40c/20f but I changed it around to 40p/30c/30f ... could that be the difference maker? Going gluten free this time around.
Yes, but it costs extra.
However, often times they forget to mark the bowl and you end up getting it free. At least that's the way things go like 90% of the time at the Chipotle by me.
And I'm a double steak man, myself.
I'm starting my first cut now, actually. Like, started yesterday.
15 calories / lb. lean body mass, with a ratio of 20% fats / 45% carbs / 35% protein.
Haven't been hungry at all, though.
Did a single rep 315 deadlift today. will try for 2 next week.
also: workout belts
I am pretty new to them. I've worn them in the past but very rarely, because I always stuck with weight I could do in the 8-12 rep ranges. I got one for Christmas and have been using it for my deadlifts and squats, I'm just not sure what I should "feel" when I wear it? I put it on pretty tight, I guess you just put it on and go? dont worry about it?

Yeah, but Cranky isn't bulking, so why would anyone give him shit?
Because I'm acting like people do in this thread, criticizing without any context. Except I wasn't serious.
...Also, I thought it was you because your avatars are so similar, actually, since you stood up for people being doofuses about me not eating yolks.
Too many layers and mistaken identity - oh well, I tried.
Yeah, I think they'll give you extras of any non-meat material free.
Haha.
In another thread, I saw Cranky say something and thought to myself "when did I type that, was I half asleep?" Only to realize a few minutes later that we simply both love our Sabres,
I was just giving you crap though, I know what you were referencing, Cranky is just enough of a regular that we tend to know what type of cycle he is on!
Plus, I've been guilty of giving shit without context on a few occasions! Lol
welcome! it's cool to have new guys around
thread's on a roll, must say, it' nice to see different guys at different stages, different goals, different backgrounds, all with this in common.
hey maybe this will sound awkward
, but do you remember your one pic from the "Post pic of yourself 2013"? that was pretty cool, very aesthetic! Congrats, you look great.welcome! it's cool to have new guys around

Ah yea, I almost forgot about that pic, thanks!
They're almost a de-motivation for me, wishing I was anywhere close to that, ha.

Yeah, it does help a ton, actually. It's slow-going, so it's easy to forget where you came from.
I thought I hadn't made any progress and then looked at a pic I took at the start and was... actively surprised (and delighted) by the difference.

It's -40 Celsius here. No gym for me this week.
Squats went better today, I think, although the weight seemed heavier than before for whatever reason. Only thing I can tell from the video is that my back appears to be doing some weird ripple thing as I come up. After my sets my back was noticeably sore, although that may just be from my bad form last set. What's wrong with my form in the video? I'm fairly sure that It's still pretty bad.
Linky
On a semi-related note, I sprained my wrist a few months ago, and while I have full range-of-motion back, it hurts to put weight on it, and my wrists on both hands are fairly sore after doing my squats. Is my hand positioning off? Again, I appreciate all of the feedback from everyone. It's nice to know that even when I got little to no support on this stuff at the actual gym / home, I can still get some help.

I'm 18.
Start now.
I've decided that every June/July I will take a similar pic, so that I can see year to year how I've done after various bulks and cuts. Keeps me honest.
