This attitude confuses me. My motivation always came from wanting to be hotter for my girl. Not as some revenge tactic. Meh
well its a better motivation than looking hotter for your girl, I did that. Bad emotions give you more inspiration.

I'll keep your advice in mind, especially regarding the glutes and abs, thanks! I'm 5'7" and weigh 152.8, but suffered a lot of strength loss to get to this weight; intentionally lost 18 pounds about 2 months ago by dieting and playing basketball.

Quick, help!
Name t-shirts that make your biceps POP. I need to do a little shopping and I should treat myself right.

Only 8-10.00. Part cotton, part Poly so they don't stretch like 100% cotton and they're typically pretty tight around the arm.
Ive been working out for almost a year, being fit has been my motivation. Im just feeling extra motivated right now.
I haven't received my shirt from here yet, but I like a lot of the designs from Omar Isuf's Raskol line: http://omarisuf.myshopify.com/ and judging from their Instagram their shirts look to be fairly fitted: http://instagram.com/raskolapparel
My first purchase which should be arriving in a few days:
Well now I'm depressed. I'm already dieting and my fat ass managed to completely crack the metal frame holding the chair to the base. Lol. Chair is only a year old and just out of warranty.
If it makes you feel any better, those types of chairs are usually pretty shitty.
I have been gone from the thread couple days and now there is around ten new pages to catch up with! My little sister and niece were in the town so I have been entertaining them. I still managed to stick with my work out routines and good eating habits for the most part, but didn't have any extra time to check this. Admittedly I have missed my eye candy thread. 
My iron levels should be quite alright or at least my hemoglobine has always been something between 150-165 which is somewhat high for a female. But I actually need to keep better track of what I am eating since I have once in a while missed lunch or dinner. Damn I have run out of Quest bars (couple left, but they are not available). Those were so handy to have around. I need to order more of them during weekend. Just waiting to make a Quest bar flavour swapping with Rabbidweed on Saturday. I also promise that I'll try to sweet talk him to have couple epic Finnish FitGAF photos with me (we'll see how well that goes...).
Also good to know that the dizziness most likely isn't anything too bad.
After this post I think I like you even more.
I might be slightly drooling over my laptop at the moment.
I also heartily agree with you there - you work out for yourself so better stop comparing yourself to anybody else or trying to think what they may think about you while you work out.
Thanks for the reply sweetie!

Awwww. Poor babe. Hopefully you will get better soon!
Hahah, after that post I like you already! <3
This thread is awesome motivation for me as well. Hahah, like said many times, I am madly in loved with all of you sweetie pies in here. This place have made my working outs and losing fat so much easier! ^_^
Hahah, I don't know what you suck or who sucks you, but damn you do look delicious.
I so need to try these out, but I actually haven't found them anywhere that would ship to Finland.
My, oh my.Im 189cm, 87-88kg with sub 10% bodyfat. I have (way too many) pictures up on my instagram for those curious http://instagram.com/themrmuscle I do like to stay as lean as possible.

I don't know how I have managed to miss this or at least not have any recollection of this what so ever. Sounds like absolutely magnificent work cutie. Do you have any progress photos by any chance?

Awwwww! <3
Hahaha, that photo is just so golden.
Yay!
I am so very proud of you honey! Attaboy!

gap plain v neck shirts
To add onto this: If Costco still has them (I know other stores do), buy a 3-pack or 4-pack of Calvin Klein plain t-shirts. The fitment is amazing, they're super comfortable, they look good, and they show everything off really well. It's like $15 for 3 I think.
I just got a couple of shirts from the Ralph Lauren outlet for like, $15. They shrunk but cuff my biceps tight anyway. They're a little short for my liking in the sleeve but not quite metrosexual short.
Ok so I've been training for a while (more than a year?) but I can't get rid of my belly fat. I lost a bunch of other fat and gained some muscle but the belly stays. Also I seem to have shoulder problems so I can never seem to do pushups properly.
So my goals are: build pushup strength. lose belly fat.
My info:
Age: 26
Height: 185cm (about 6 feet)
Weight: 76kg (167.5 lbs)
Goal: build pushup strength. lose belly fat.
Current Training Schedule: Focus T25 + presses and curls every other day until failure
Current Training Equipment Available: dumbells, olympic bar, barbell, resistance band
Comments: pull-up bars don't work in my place unfortunately.

Diet is the culprit. I assume calories need to be decreased and protein increased.
I eat about 3000-4000 calories below my TDEE every week (assuming my calculations are correct, but I am quite conservative in my estimates). And I eat most of my calories from protein and whole foods. I did lose weight, but the belly persists. It's not huge, but it's the only noticeable fat on my body.

Belly fat is pretty much usually the last to go. I feel your pain too my belly is the only thing left to tone up
As far as shoulder problems try to do shoulder mobility exercises such as face pulls or shoulder dislocations.
Some shoulder band exercises
Shoulder dislocations
Go lower. Monitor. Tinker with your carbs. It's trial and error. There's no textbook formula. Everyone has a different optimization for losing fat.

Thanks, I'll try these.
Ugh. How do you guys who eat 3500+ calories manage to do it? I was doing pretty good on the weight gain front for the first like 6 months, but have been stalling ever since. I tried to up my calories a bit to 3000, but clearly that doesn't seem to be enough. It's getting pretty difficult!

Why is this the extent of your contributions to the thread? At the very least post what you're doing or even videos. If all you post is various variations of the quoted post, you will simply become white noise.

heh, already is brah
Also try this. Use a lacrosse ball and SMR the pec minor and the medial head area of the shoulder, then do the shoulder dislocations and band pull-aparts. I would also recommend face pulls.
My appetite is legendary if I smoke. Take what you had and multiply it by three or four. Luckily those times are few and far between.
I'm sorry sir if this offends you, sir, I'll try to post more sir
I did some Arm Curls at 70, 80, 90 lbs each at 15 reps.
Then I did some barbell press of 90lbs and 100lbs 15 reps each.
Then I did crunches at 100 lbs per crunch, 45 reps total (15 each)
Then, Cardio!
this is vanity but if a shirt stretches from the arms after 1 or 2 washes, I am not using it again. my arms are small as they are to have some crap shirt making them look worse, lol.

Larger meals.I have this huge ass plate I use for ridiculous sized meals. If you can´t eat more in a meal then add more meals. Makes it easier but its more time consuming. You got to find what works for you.
I eat 180g of protein with 2050 calories a day. Its a bit of effort.
Thanks man. Yeah i recommend checking it out, when thinking about it it just makes sense to eat that way.
Let me know what you think!
Hahah, after that post I like you already! <3
My, oh my.

Haha thanks, its that Ben&Jerry´s! My freezer always looks like this come saturday!
Hm, do you mean you are having a hard time finding foods with enough protein or what? Because 120g protein is only 480 calories. You should have "plenty" of calories to dole out on fat and carbs afterwards.

do you eat bread or other high calorie stuff without much proteins?
120g of proteins with 2000cal and without shakes should be rather easy. at least with some meat.
pretty much. what are the best high protein, low calorie foods beside meats?
Im probably not telling you anything you didnt allready know, but my staples are:
- Chicken breast
- Turkey breast
- Fish
- Eggs
- Ground lean beef
- Cottage cheese
- Low fat quark
- Protein powders
But when eating low calories i tend to stick with food over powders and "liquids" like quark and cottage cheese. Or else hunger might become an issue.
Protein powder mixed with 1 serving of Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt is a good snack.
50+ grams of protein for less than 300 calories.

They're good for tracking progress if you use them right, but if you're already low fat it may not work well.
Most of mine are fine out of the wash, but the arms stretch throughout the day. Total vanity thing, I know. I just prefer the feel of 100% cotton to cotton poly blends, so I tend to wear the ones that stretch instead of the ones that squeeze your arms anyway
Decided to cut the EC short. Was starting to get some adrenal fatigue so I thought enough was enough. Gonna ween off the caffeine over the course of the next week, but gonna keep up my cut until I hit 150 (sitting at about 152 right now). The last part has been pretty rough just because I've lost a ton of strength in my legs due to not being able to really work them for 3 weeks now, and the injury makes them weak regardless. Managed to move from around 16-17% body fat down to around 13ish% so I'm pretty happy with that. Abs show under the right conditions, but really it wasn't as much about getting the abs to show as it was a regulatory thing so I can start off with a clean slate on a powerlifting routine.
.......
What does this mean?
3 Costco turkey burgers are 105g of protein and 600 calories.
3 scoops of whey is about 75-100g depending on scoop size and around 450-500 calories
2 cans of tuna is 70g protein and 300 calories
16ounces of skinless chicken is 100g protein and 450 calories.
Basically, it's very easy to do.
