gain train baybee choo choo
Yesss, your upper body looks so much more huge with that smaller waist! It is always excited to see you getting closer to your goal.
I prefer to be shredded so we will see how much i feel like gaining. But i must say im loving where i am at right now.
Daaaamn dunno how I missed this the first time around, do you ever get your BF% tested? I am really curious, that looks like 8% or less ... insane brah. If you keep your diet that dialed in I can only imagine your body very incrementally adds muscle mass. I do strict IF and it has taken me about a year to gain 6 lbs. I agree with you though, as I would rather look nasty all the time. My much larger old lifting buddy (in frame and weight) has suggested I do the dream/FE bulk over the winter but I don't think I could manage and it just doesn't seem very appealing to me.
That might very well be one of the sexiest youtube videos I have seen...
Well then I will just have to rest easy with the knowledge that my silkies excuse form deficiencies! I find that the beard doesn't help nearly as much in comparison.
Why on earth I didn't (and don't) know any extremely hot bodybuilders that I could have asked to help me out...
This reminded me of a gym session about a year ago. There was this absolutely adorable and smoking hot female personal trainer instructing a really large dude on squats.
I was squatting in the cage next to their rack at some point, and on more than one set she said
"ok now watch this guy, that is what I am talking about, etc". Based on the fact that she was calling me out as an educational model, I wanted to give the guy some support. He was really struggling to break past quarter-squat, let alone hit parallel.
So after I was done and cleaned up my plates I went over and said
"Hey man I know it's hard right now, but the day I started squatting was the best day of my life. You got this!"
I think he got hit by DOMS for the first time the next day (aka the worst day of your life) and I have never seen either of them again
lol
I mean sure, I wouldn't really want to lose my tits or hips so perhaps I shouldn't actually lose too much weight. I think it is safe to say I can still lose at least 30 pounds or so... Hahah, I want what every woman wants meaning the curves in the right places and a flat(ter) tummy.
Something I feel is always worth mentioning in regards to body shape is relativity. No body part exists or is perceived in isolation of the rest. Oddly enough I made this same point to a male friend of mine who is into cross-dressing and was considering buying some corsets. I questioned his motivations for wanting to incorporate this type of restrictive garment and he stated that he just wants that more tapered waist appearance. So I asked him - do you know what the best way to make your waist look smaller is? He shook his head. The answer is to make your ass enormous! Muahahaha
He didn't appreciate it as much as I thought he would, but the point still stands in my mind regardless of gender or current body composition.
I might need at some point when my back is better think (and ask all of you to help me to make) a new working out program that would target of me getting a nicely shaped torso (my main problem is my tummy at the moment and only losing fat will help on that, I also want small waist) and that killer ass.
If I were you I would consider Starting Strength/barbell training to be the next evolutionary step in your body recomposition. But I am biased as that was my methodology. Keep your diet in check and keep doing your yoga and physical therapy then begin to add the strength programming without taking anything away from the rest of your pre/re-habilitation programming. Squats and Deadlifts are the long windy roads to the holy grail which you seek.
And sleeping. And you might need to consider deloading if you fail a third time. Sleep good, eat good, go for it.
Yeah VJC don't beat yourself up too bad, everyone has to deload/reset eventually.
