Your Deadlift will eventually catch up. Be glad both your squat and deadlifts are going up fast! I wouldn't be so afraid of increasing the weight jumps on the deadlift, since IMO it's a pretty safe lift at lower than 300# weights, but if you feel need to jump slowly, by all means do it! I know I did go careful with the deads when I was starting out.
American Eagle shirst Small size fit my frame really well and the short sleeves get around the armz quite well (5'10" 200#).
On the same sense, GAP outlet small polos fit also quite. You should go to the mall and try them though.

Medium Polos are way too tall and loose for me.
Used to do Football. I play intramural Flag Football now. Beach cardio is freakin awesome, but got to be careful, since there is almost always an incline in the beach, on leg joint my get more stressed than the other, so I try to do everything GO and BACK.

As much as I'd love a before/after album my psyche was in the garbage before I began. I actively tried to stay out of photos because it'd shock me. Shit's getting better now, but I'm not there yet.
Yeah that's why I barely got any pictures. I had to go to my dad's house and look through all his photos.

Jebus! Black Flag is monster!
Down with that. It would inspire noobs, when people start out, it seems those gains are impossible.
Played TE, but never did well enough on my younger days. I play much better now lol.
I don't do too many Tshirts. Threadless.com shirts fit me well though. More of a collared job kind of person

I used to play tackle football. Nose guard. Good shit. "Just be a goddamn mess in the middle" - I can handle that.
Re: before pics - yeah my mom snapped one of me a ways back and my ex messaged me and said "you don't look like you're doing so well" which ended up in me telling her that's a shitty way to say hi, etc - then took the truth out of her words that yeah, I do look like I'm falling apart.
The statue is being sculpted and I've never felt better. Only regret is not doing this 10 years ago (33 now.)

I like looking at how our clothes/hair/facial structures have changed over the years. Makes us look like bad asses rofl
I second these. Also the gap shirt and banana republic shirts have a nice fit.
I'd be down. More Fitgaf in the OT
Agreed,
Sean has one old pic when he was chubby and another, current one where he is sitting on some kind of throne wearing a suit and holding a cigar, (I think?, was a while ago, can't remember exactly).
I don't think he has posted them side by side but he definitely should! that would be one of the most badass before/after's around here.
edit: Good! now you know what before, afters pics you should choose

Eh, listen to your body. I'm going at a much slower pace than that with lower weights.

This is a great idea. I am glad I took a pic of shame when I started 7 months ago, it has provided me so much motivation seeing the difference.
Also would be cool if we had pictures of regulars in the OP. For next OT maybe?
To
Lol.
Old you dirty bulked too hard.
I think back to the shit diet. Soda, sugary cereal, pretzels, tons of pasta. Bleh

I was a fiend for pretzels. Especially pretzels with vanilla ice cream. Goddddddddamn.
Talking about this was a mistake!

Crazy transformation, same with the Zen Master Noema.
As for the Mossimos, what size do you get? We're about the same height and weight.

Dope!!!
haha, awesome, love it.
another badass pair would Falling edge's 2010 shirtless pic where he smiles and one of the recent ones, the one where the lats are showing from behind.
bah, sucks that I am too new to this. I have my share of old pics but the transformation has barely started so I'll keep up the work and wait a bit.
I got Large yesterday. Arm is tight but I like that. A few weeks ago I got the XL and it's a little more loose in the waist than I wanted.

Started hitting the weights in 11th grade. Got very serious in collage. Been going strong since. Been through plenty of routines throughout the years and now I am sticking to what has worked best for me for my current goals. I started to pick my game up big time in January by going all out with optimizing my nutrition. Living in NYC, I got way too accustomed to eating out all the time and going out to party 3-4 nights a week. So I scaled it back to drinking 1 night, if any at all.
Your arms must be exploding out of a large because I feel like it fits my arms kind of tight and I'm way smaller than you
Hey everyone. First time caller, long time listener...
Back in the gym and starting up SS since I discovered this thread. Used On Whey Gold before since it was low carb and good quality. Should I stick with On Whey or is there a better alternative nowadays? Just curious before I pull the trigger on an order. I'm all ears to any other suggestions.
I could have swore I bought a 10lb bag for like $60 something a few years ago on Amazon. Now it's about twice that so I'll stick to 5lb. Perhaps 5lb used to come in the bag, but I'm almost certain only the 10lbs do, so that must have been what I got.
Edit: been checking out Trutein. Looks pretty solid.

NOEMA GEEEEBUS.
Can you guys believe I'm not cut for the summer? Crazy I know. I'm gonna start cutting down. I kinda want to try a new diet plan, but I should probably just stick to what works for me. I've never tried IF though.

This is one I bought yesterday. These were new ones they had and they seemed sized a little differently, bigger, so I got an L instead. I haven't washed it yet though so it might shrink.
