****Official "OBF" 2010 SPECTACULAR SPRING Contest Thread***

[live4gs]

thanks bro. When you are this heavy though. It's hard not to get discouraged, but I am pressing forward.

You will hon! No worries. Thanks for your support!


Did you ever think that your 2 pounds might be muscle. You are a damn beast Heidi! ;)

Just remember we all or at least most are better than we were before the start of OBF.
Also most of us are better than we have been in a long time.

[Tyler44]

Diet was rough yesterday....really rough lol.

Today my brother graduates high school and we have his grad party so it'll be a struggle to be somewhat clean as well.

Oh well, here I come 2hrs of cardio this evening.

[Striver]

Sigh, so I ran out of anti-depressants last week, but lost a lot of weight. This made me suspicious, so I did some research, turns out the anti-depressants I am on cause weight gain (though it's not one of the ones where it says that on the leaflet :rolleyes:), and I am on a big dose and I have been on them since the start of this competition. This really REALLY annoys me as I have worked so hard but got not that far and been really angry at myself and now it turns out it's the meds. How depressing... ironically.

[Husky Bob]

It's been a 6 days since nasal surgery and the enforced layoff. My strength held up pretty well and I had no problems breathing!

Still got to work on doing more cardio and tweaking the diet as I'm still at 215.

[Kinipela]

[cuse88]

How's the Memorial Day weekend treating everyone? It's nice for me to finally get out and get some extra cardio via basketball and the classic wiffle ball games :cool:.

[cawiau]

Hell all, I am still around. I haven't had time to post alot because of the move, packing and everything.

But I have tried my best to reach the gym every time that I could and watch my diet. Basically the goal now is just to maintain my weight till we move for good in 2 weeks and settled in.

Week #12 runs from 5/24 to 5/30 at midnight. You must post, at least one time before midnight on 5/30. If you miss 2 weeks of posting, you are disqualified.

[Ttdskann]

Well I must say this past week has been a rough one for me. Dying in the sun for 8 hours a day and eating fast food for lunch because I don't have time in the morning to make lunch. I have been losing weight still though once again, and I also have noticed a change in the mirror and what not.

[sammykapp]

Hope people are enjoying the holiday weekend with some good grilled chicken and veggies :)

The weather here has been BEAUTIFUL, which made for some great walking in the city on my rest day to round out this week.

[beefcake66]

This really REALLY annoys me as I have worked so hard but got not that far and been really angry at myself and now it turns out it's the meds. How depressing... ironically.

I know right? I was on them for a while but I was off them and heard about that, asked if there were any that DIDN'T cause weight gain... no such thing I guess. It sucks...

[blsmith]

I was told by my doctor when I got on anti-depressants (that I am almost off of completely :D) is that Welbutrin was the best for not gaining weight. How much of that is true, I don't know, but that is what she told me.

[beefcake66]

Seems like I'm finally caught up...
I went to a real gym and hit some weights today, it was a nice change of pace as a lil final hurrah for myself... ate WAY TOO MUCH CANDY this weekend though... and drank... but now it's clear sailing till the end of the competition. No more cheating at all. Planning to drop 10-15 more pounds (I hope) and hope my skin catches up and lets me see a 6pack lol

That's the one I was on for a while but decided to take myself off.. should've stayed on, but well, I managed to get through that particular rough patch and am avoiding extra meds as best I can right now

[blsmith]

I was on a full dose for a year and then a half a dose for 9 months after that. Now I take that half dose every 2nd day. Almost done them completely. I have made some great strides in dealing with some past issues. Hopefully things will just get better and better.

I'm glad to see there's hope afterall :)


So guess what... I got 80 minutes of eating left until surgery. Not allowed after midnight...
I think it's time to bake some chicken and perhaps attempt to make a protein powder brownie...!

[jkliveng]

these new frozen yogurt bars are really killing me!

[Ndeserranno]

really had a bad cheat day, was a family event that started with an all you can eat buffet, i destroyed that bacon tray :D and ended with a trip to Bulk Barn candy store where i tried lots of stuff :( i am not proud of this day =(

Use it as fuel to kill it in the gym;)

Yah I got in on that deal, 2 bottles will probably last me a year......1 cap is good and 2 caps are ridiculous

I took Celexa for YEARS with NO side effects, not even weight gain and was happy as a dog in heat.

I was on welbutrin xl for one week and ended up almost dead, lol, serious I will never touch the stuff again. It was given to me in 2006 to help "turn off the smoking addiction indicators in the brain", so they say...

[MsTropix]

My fast went well. Back on a regular diet schedule for the rest of the week. So far my plan is cheat Saturdays, and fast Sundays- been fasting for what...6 weeks now? But I am thinking of going the extra mile and doing cheat Sat, fast Sun and zero carbs Mondays.

Whatcha all think of that?

I love asking and getting so many different views. In the long run, I do what I want anyway, lol.

[MsTropix]

I bought 3 bottles of Black cats from a site that was forwarded to me. This is what I paid. Heck of a deal! Even after paying shipping and handling I still paid about $4 less than one bottle at full price.

You better hurry. I dunno when this sale ends, but when it does they will jump from $10 per bottle to $40.

3 x Black Cat (500 mg/60 caps)

By: Applied Nutriceuticals

$9.99 $29.97
Sub Total: $29.97

Shipping and Handling: $5.95
Total: $35.92

PM me for link to site.

[xStevenx]

well no change in weight this week. i dont know why. I did a bit more cardio and diet was spot on. I think maybe its time for a cheat meal, get the metabolism going a bit. Havent gone off my diet in a month and that chinese buffet is calling me "STEVEN COME EAT 6 PLATES OF FOOOOODDD"

I am going to drop a carb meal this week and see how it effects my performance in the gym

[beefcake66]

Today's the big day..
I'm supposed to be fasting, but do you think it's safe to have a protein shake? It's not solid food... should be fine?

Thank you! :o

I really appreciate that, been giving it my all.

Started the weight loss at the beginning of this competition, it sucked soooooo bad the first 2 weeks.....I'd become content with eating McDonald's every day for breakfast :( I just bought the black cats a few days ago, so it can't be those lol I did use a Beast stack the first month (Predator, Creature, and SuperTest) and that worked awesome! By far one of the best I've used. But the diet is the key, I started at 2500 cals, then 2300, now 2100...90% of the foods are "clean".


Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day.

God Bless our soldiers and veterans!

[Big Poppa S]

Ended up travelling around the province for most of the weekend, and although I wasn't able to get in the gym at all, I was able to do quite a bit of hiking, walking, etc, so at least it wasn't an entire waste. I have no illusions about still being able to win this contest after having so many "off" weeks but I will continue to strive towards my goal and will re-double my efforts now that our company is finalling leaving (Wed morning). Besides I have a more important long-term goal now - to get in shape for the wedding!

Edit: Hope all my American friends have a great Memorial Day!

Today's the big day..
I'm supposed to be fasting, but do you think it's safe to have a protein shake? It's not solid food... should be fine?

mmmm.....Id try to avoid anything before the surgery in case you react badly to the anesthesia. I think it would be okay to have the protein shake up until the time you were asked to cut your water.

Ill be thinking about you and a speedy recovery!

[live4gs]

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
THANK YOU to all who are serving, have served or paid the ultimate price in the name of our country!

Much appreciated! Happy Memorial Day everyone! I'm in the military myself....on a 12 hour Duty Watch right now!!!

[GettingfitAgain]

The summer is here all! New bodies for all! :)

[JaySinX]

Joyous Memorial Day to all, support for the troops throughout the world, and as for this week, I'm somehow down 4 lbs

[xStevenx]

well chinese buffet today felt good haha. Getting back on diet now, tomorrow I drop a carb meal from my diet. Making an extra 200calories or so off per day.

I took measurements and my waist is down 1.25 inches and hips are down about 1 1/8 inch!

[Ttdskann]

Well after all I realized that I am not going to be placing in this competition but that's alright. I'm actually rather excited to see the results of everyone else who really did keep on track throughout this whole competition. I'm going to keep going after the competition is done just to achieve my goals that I've set and havn't still come close to them.

All next week I will be doing hard landscaping for 8 hours a day in the hot sun once again, well at least T-F. I'm going to be eating at subway, a 6 inch sub for lunch and I'll be having an egg white omelete in the morning before I get out to work.

I think I may be purchasing a couple things from the BB shop for the first time after my next paycheck, mind you they are quite plentiful for an 18 year old who hasn't ever gotten 40 hours a week!

All in all I can't wait to see how far people have gotten and who this year's winner and placers will be! Hope everyone is doing spectacular out there because I know I could be doing better.

[arob10]

happy memorial day guys hopefully everyone can keep the diet strict throughout the entire weekend...i myself DID NOT lol huge cheat day yesterday hot dogs hamburgers cookies pie chili oh my and after all that still came in 2.5 lbs under my weight last week hehe now ill be eating clean until the end of the contest

[Ndeserranno]

Use it as fuel to kill it in the gym;)

thx brah, i plan on it

[History in Effect]

Stayed on the game plans this weekend and did not stray away. Today its been raining and storming, so hopefully I can get a break and workout.

[DriverDan]

I went on a nice long 14.5 mile hike yesterday. I burned so many calories that despite having a huge banana split afterward I'm down 1.2 lbs from yesterday and it's not dehydration. I'm now at 150.6 lbs.

Unfortunately I'm feeling a bit sick. Not enough to slow me down, more of just an annoyance.


I don't avoid the system. I have a very good doctor that I use when it's needed (annual phyiscal, things that I would not go to a chiro for, etc).

I started going to a chiro because of a lower back problem that was created, while weight lifting, years ago. I suggested Nikiln go to one because he was complaining about his lower back.

I am a person that will try different things to help with medical situations, but that's me. Everyone has their beliefs on what is good and bad, and they have every right to feel the way they do. If you don't want to go to a chiro, don't go. If you are willing to try one out, go ahead.

That make sense. Research shows they can help lower back pain. Thanks for taking the time to indulge me :)


lol what!? Claiming that chiropractors use "magic energy" and is pseudoscience is a naive claim. There are those that deviate or incorporate "other" forms of supposed healing but to claim the entire industry is that way is preposterous. It is a profession that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. They mainly focus on the spine but that is not the full extent of their involvement.

Now, I don't agree with everything that is involved with it like holism, but only some of them perform all associated practices in their business. My own chiropractor teaches advanced anatomy and physiology at one of the top University's in my state. I've never been sujected to any hocus pocus, but the adjustments have helped my vertebral motility and the stripping out my knees have greatly helped decrease the pain I have associated with them. Just my thoughts...


That's called raike, which is indeed a farce and can be compared to snake oil. The way raike works is if you let your mind slip out of your control, much like how people get hypnotized.

On the contrary, my chiropractor has never said nor even presented anything close to that before, and I've been going to him for the past 5 or so years. The fact that your hips can indeed get out of balance over a long period of time via one leg being even minutely longer than the other, or that all the major bones that keep you upright (thus having minute relationships with one another, but possibly painful if not dealt with over a long period of time) are indeed very real, which can lead to joint pain, back pain, neck pain etc. This can all hinder your well-being, not through energies, but through natural displacement.

I started going to my chiropracter (who I forgot to mention is an ex NCAA wrestler, football player, and currently a bodybuilder) after a really scary football neck/back injury - I couldn't bend over/turn my head in any direction (includes up & down) without naturally tearing up, as well as being diagnosed with chronic bursitis & tendinitis of my knees (genetically bad joints, father had major surgeries on both knees before graduating from high school, and has since had major surgeries on both shoulders which may require surgery again pretty soon). Needless to say I was pain free after 2 appointments, and I haven't looked back. He's helped me out through countless injuries, really fidgety knots, and overall making me feel like a new person every time I leave.

Now I'm not saying there aren't chiropracters out there that preach what you claim they preach, but don't put all chiropracters into the same boat.

I was pointing out the core beliefs of chiropractic. There is now a mix of practitioners that follow the original teachings (straights) and those who reject the pseudoscience and focus on treating back problems. What I don't understand is why you wouldn't become a physical therapist instead of a chiropractor.

Anyway, I think I've beaten the dead horse enough. I hope everyone watched their diet today.

[blsmith]

Good day all! I have the day off work today not because it's Memorial Day (not celebrated in Canada) but just because I worked on Saturday. Was up at 6am and out by 8am. Had to go out to Mississauga to pick up the DVD from the TV producers. 3 long years and I finally get to see it again. I am going to try and find a way to get it online so I can share it with all of you. Hoping!

Then when I finally got home rested a bit had some lunch while watching the show, then went out to the driving range to hit a few balls. Boy, was I rusty. Had a couple hit 200 yards but not very good all around

Just going to relax now, maybe clean up a bit. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I can at least agree that physical therapy would be much more functional and well rounded feild without the unneccesary "extras". However, a visit to a chiropractor is much more affordable then one to the physical therapist! ;)

[MsTropix]

Today's the big day..
I'm supposed to be fasting, but do you think it's safe to have a protein shake? It's not solid food... should be fine?

NO I DONT THINK ITS FINE! If you have anything in your tummy you could spit up in your sleep during the surgery and drown in it.

[VAPump]

NO I DONT THINK ITS FINE! If you have anything in your tummy you could spit up in your sleep during the surgery and drown in it.

Studies have shown that having food in the stomach (no matter the amount) does not have an effect on the incidence of pulmonary aspiration.

Fasting before surgery is mostly one of those "old habits die hard" deals. There are no studies to show that the upsides are worth the downsides, yet it's been around so long its one of those "well it hasn't killed anyone, so let's stick with it" deals.


Though she should keep this in mind:
Even though it's a protein 'shake', being that it's from a dairy source (whey), it will curdle in the stomach (not to the same degree as casein, however), and is treated the same way as solid food.

[Husky Bob]

I'd rather be safe than sorry on the pre-surg fast. Why temp fate? I did not eat for my nasal surgery last week...

So, today I played tennis in the am and went for a 30 min walk around town this afternoon. I'm still hovering around 215, though. With only a month or so left I will try to lose a few pounds.

[beefcake66]

Thanks for the replies guys... a little late though lol
I'm already home and recovering.. I didn't have any shake, and apparently I wasn't even supposed to be drinking water... or chewing gum... oops?

The reason I was not supposed to is because the anaesthesic interacts badly with stuff in your tum...

I was pretty alright though... I did end up vomitting quick but I don't know if it's because of the water I had or the intense amount of painkillers/pills...

[dekd]

Back from a vacation. Back on track now :p

Week #13 runs from 5/31 to 6/6 at midnight. You must post, at least one time before midnight on 6/6. If you miss 2 weeks of posting, you are disqualified.

[cawiau]

I just got back from the gym... strength is down a bit but besides that all is good. Need to get my endurance back up for cardio also!

beefcake, I say do as the doctors ordered and fast!

Hope everyone in the US is enjoying their holiday!

[MsTropix]

Good to see you made it thru, Beefie. So now that you know what you are feeling- is there anything we can do to help you finish off the last few weeks of this challenge? You have great support.

[Major T]

Thanks for the replies guys... a little late though lol
I'm already home and recovering.. I didn't have any shake, and apparently I wasn't even supposed to be drinking water... or chewing gum... oops?

Recover well dude, I hope it's not painful. Take it easy!

[wada]

Hope everyone enjoyed their memorial day!! I went grocery shopping at 3 different markets =) My fav by far is Trader joes > Whole foods > BJs (bulk spinach FTW)

[VAPump]

When I had my appendix removed all I ate was some ice cream (that my mama snuck to me in my pre-op hospital room, lmbo) and I was told not to eat or drink anything but I was stubborn, as usual (whose gonna know attitude) and the anesthetic made me pretty ill and I barfed and they had to suck it out with tubes while I was asleep and I had a burned and sore throat from it. So I dont care what those studies say. Personal experiences are the best teaching tools.




Good to see you made it thru, Beefie. So now that you know what you are feeling- is there anything we can do to help you finish off the last few weeks of this challenge? You have great support.

I know you don't care what studies say. This is why every Sunday you "fast" and just drink liquids, then during the week post about eating out. Stong yo-yo metabolism. :rolleyes:

[ShayZ]

Glad to see your Ok post surgery beefie.
Heres to a quick recovery.

We dont have a Trader Joes but I have a friend that shops there and he gives it a thumbs up. We have a whole foods and buy most of our groceries there. FTW. We have a BJs but I never thought to look there for anything. I figured (with no evidence) that BJs was just like a knock off of the other warehouse clubs and assumed they wouldnt have anything real there, lol, so I guess I will have to go take a look now.

Get it straight dude, what I actually said was So I dont care what those studies say and if I remember correctly-and yes I do remember correctly- I was talking SPECIFICALLY about eating before surgery. Yank! I was NOT talking about studies in general.

In fact I do NOT have a "yo-yo" effect with my metabolism. LMBO. My metabolism is in great condition nor do I never feel the need to binge after a fast.

If I ever posted during the week about eating out, it was to post where I went for my Saturday cheat. I have been out to eat at a restaurant about 4 times since February 17th all on Saturdays except for on Mothers Day and I do not cheat for pagan holidays ONLY on my cheat days.

If you were in this thread more and paying attention you wouldnt get bitch slapped for talking BS. Oh did I say that?

Agreed, I use the word Dude for everyone.

I wish your knee didn't hurt so much :( Are the pain meds they gave you good at least? When I had my wisdom teeth pulled they gave me tylenol 3s...did nothing for me unfortunately.

Rest up girl! ;) lol

Here's a funny story for you: I went to buy a lotto ticket after the gym one day. So I had my gym gear on and a baseball hat. After I bought the ticket and said thanks. The cashier said have a good day Sir. lol Ahh what can you do! lol

[slvrwolf1]

I hope everyone had a good memorial day weekend and stayed on track. I strayed from diet just a little but I did lots of swimming, boating, and tubing to make up for the extra calories. My arms are very burnt tho and not sure how workouts are gonna be with arms hurting this bad.. Glad to see your doing ok beefcake.

[tjwoody]

i took the diet and threw it right out the camper window this past LONG weekend! even drank a few beers yesterday! Up 8.5 lbs from fridays weight so lets see how fast the water comes off!

Its okay TJ. The weight spike is scary but temporary. Im up 6 pounds at the moment. I had beer at Gators Dockside Saturday night while I was watching the Rishad vs Rampage fight. :(

[MsTropix]

Did any of you ladies use to wear these jeans when you were younger?

I wore them in the mid 80s, they are called Rag City Blues. I ran with a pack of mean people, lol, and we all wore them.

Man, if I ever got skinny again, I would so stock up on them and buy a buncha flannel shirts and berkenstocks!

The 3rd pair is a zipper jean that starts from the belly button area and ends at the top of your butt crack, lmbo. If you unzip them all of the way the legs come apart HAHA.

[DriverDan]

Full blown sick. Ugh. Will have to skip the gym for a few days. On the upside my appetite is completely dead, I had to force breakfast down my throat.

I am still sick myself. Been this way for days now. I still did my cardio, but barely. I had lost my appetite too, but Im not sure if it was from being sick or because the weather has been a hot mama.

Double up on the vitamins?

Dont feel like ya'll are the only ones in this boat.
I'm in there with you. It was great to enjoy the week end but now
it's back to work. In more than one way.
It's June 1, better yet, its now or never!!!

Might not get on the scale today. Don't want to get too upset.
I feel I am up 5 or 10 my self. Lots ao fluids. Kind of happy with my self in one way.
Most was diet drinks instead of beer. Looking on the good side of things.
But I know I / we all will get the week end gains back off this week...

[MikeDC82]

crap, missed a week of posting.

I'm at 180 now; thats down 12 lbs since the start of the OBF Contest and 27 lbs since mid January. I still want to drop about 20 lbs.

T3's do nothing for me either.. they told me I was going to get Diladin (however its spelled) but my pill bottle says hydromorphone. I've heard of this stuff lol.

I haven't really left the couch since I got home.. so definitely resting up...

And I've had a few of those funny moments myself, usually involving small children pointing at me and saying "mommy mommy he has blue hair!" Down mohawk and a hat

Too much fat still :) Hoping to break the teens for BF% by the end of the contest, figure Im mid to low 20s now.

Maybe by August my abs will come out and say hi.

Tons of people rocking it right now (your latest pics are awesome!), will be an interesting end to the competition for sure.

[MsTropix]

lol wow, i don't think I've ever seen any of those in my life!

They also made a jean mini skirt that zipped up the front and one up the back so it came apart too. We were crazy. Those were crazy clothes. I miss being a teenager, lol. I use to wear ankle mocassins, knee high mocassins and Wallabee shoes, lol.

[tjwoody]

lunch today is cup of cottage cheese, 2 cups salad with some veggies in it and some hot sauce. needed it badly!

[trudyelizabeth]

Checking in after the long weekend. I stayed home and tiled my kitchen counter tops, lifted weights and built a bench in my dining room. I'm tired off my butt today. The hubby is in Florida scuba diving and spear fishing with the boys so I thought it would be a good time for remodeling. Hanging in there, but need to tighten up on my eating for the last few weeks of the contest.

[chipperd]

ready for another week.doing good on the weight,NEED MORE MUSCLE!hope everyone is doing great.gettin down to the wire now.

[beefcake66]

I want more muscle too!!! haha...

I'm pretty sure my new roommate is going to start lifting with me, which will be really nice! He can carry me downstairs to the gym, then we can lift, and then figure out how the hell I'm gonna make it back up stairs lol

Thanks man....I think the tough work is over, its just staying committed to the goal. Do you think your bf is really that high? I was guessing high teens? like 17% or so

Definitely looking forward to all of the transformation pics, it will be exciting to finish this up and look back at the progress we've all made!

4 more weeks of dried out chicken and oats :cool:

No idea what my BF% is, just guesstimating low to mid 20s. Pbate (another really cool guy on the forums) said around there as well so just going by what he said.

Anyways still much lower than the ORCA fat levels I was at day 1 of OBF :)

Hahaha from orca to shark eh?

I wonder what my BF% is.. I don't have an accurate way of measuring, anyone wanna take a guess? Judging from my 8 week progress pics (12wk pics at MIA atm)

[tjwoody]

may go real low cals today. i think it works well for me after a weekend binge. :)

Also, if you are over 350 lbs, you get to eat for free:D

What a stupid STUPID idea. Absolutely retarded. What the hell is wrong with America?

[ShayZ]

What a stupid STUPID idea. Absolutely retarded. What the hell is wrong with America?

its working. That restaurant has been on like 5 shows now that ve seen on the travel channel and food network, etc.

They weigh people, and the 350 lbers are happy as phuck. Plus if you eat the 6k cal burger they wheelchair u out.

Also, they use lard, no mayo, they also fry their fries in lard, and they have an all u can eat fry buffet. Also, no diet drinks.

Also, their front sign reads something along the lines of "our food WILL kill you."

Marketing at its finest. I wanna go there, lmao. But I doubt I could eat anything over a 1 lb burger. I wouldnt touch that 2 lber, id die.

It's even worse that it actually works!

It's ok if it's a novelty thing you do a couple of times a year but I bet there are people who are 'regulars' at places like that *shudder*

[longhorns_p]

/\/\/\/\/\/\

thought I saw that restaurant on TV, OMG....that burger looks amazing.

Would love to find a place near me that has some kind of eating challenge, I understand that we're all trying to get healthy but I'm going ALL OUT on the day after this :D

i think most people go for the novelty sake. But yes Id bet there are a few regulars who are just trying to die faster.

[History in Effect]

Dang, that is so not healthy and I lost my appetite.lol

[kingjameskjf]

I'd rather be safe than sorry on the pre-surg fast. Why temp fate? I did not eat for my nasal surgery last week...

So, today I played tennis in the am and went for a 30 min walk around town this afternoon. I'm still hovering around 215, though. With only a month or so left I will try to lose a few pounds.

I love playing tennis too. When I used to do it alot (2-3 times a week), my right rhomboid and forearm became much more developed then my left because I'm right handed and didn't do anything to even it out.


What a stupid STUPID idea. Absolutely retarded. What the hell is wrong with America?

I agree, I think that is a horrible business practice and helps promote obesity, but I do love America!

[History in Effect]

I think I remember that guy being a Doctor or a Dietician who owns that restaurant

Really??! I like burgers, but those looked completely unappetizing to me! Greese was coming off the top of the bun. Ugh, pass the Rolaids.

[Husky Bob]

Thanks for the replies guys... a little late though lol
I'm already home and recovering.. I didn't have any shake, and apparently I wasn't even supposed to be drinking water... or chewing gum... oops?

The reason I was not supposed to is because the anaesthesic interacts badly with stuff in your tum...

I was pretty alright though... I did end up vomitting quick but I don't know if it's because of the water I had or the intense amount of painkillers/pills...

Glad to see you're alive and well! You'll be doing the foxtrot in no time!

Now...

about your avi picture...











where's the "come hither" look?

[MsTropix]

haha well im definitely not ridiculously lean.. that picture Fit posted in here was of me making a face ("oooooooh!"). I got a pic I can put up but it makes my arm look tiny and my head look huge just cause of the angle... I'll do that now haha

Amazing job bro:)

[MsTropix]

Hey friends, just started my log which I plan on going past the end of the OBF contest: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=124955021

TY will be there.

I did this calculator thing that says my carbs should be 50%, protein 25%, fat 25% and to eat 5 times a day.

Nice job Luke! Hows the back any better?

[tjwoody]

Yeah Luke looks great!

My weight is starting to stabalize from my binge weekend! Need to shed like 3 more pounds of water/carbs and work on weight loss again. Think I over did it during camping! :) Going to keep low cals till weekend.

[beefcake66]

I thought my weight was high before surgery... after surgery, it shot up even more. My diet has been spot on since Sunday though, and I have no doubt that the scale will go back down and stabilize. I'm doubtful about actually getting a 6pk by the end of the OBF contest for a few reasons, but I plan to not cheat at all until the contest is over.

Today is a busy day for me... I have to go to a TV thing for my football team (the team is going to be on the local Breakfast Television!), and a few appointments, so at least I'll be getting out of the house. I gotta take some extra painkillers with me just in case though, I'll be hurtin soon enough lol

[Vytis]

Stay strong and focused for the final push everyone! We're bound to see some great transformations.

[Spectra360]

Thought I would change things up for the next few weeks and supplement some Kre-Alkalyn with my diet. I'm down around 25lbs, looking too thin, so its time to solidify my gains/losses

[slvrwolf1]

got to the gym after work and had awesome cardio session. barely walked out the door.. got home and my son and his girlfriend were in the pool so I jumped in and joined them and they gave me a workout again for about 4 hours. My shoulders are sore today swimming chasing them in the water and spinning them as fast as I could on the floatie was a better workout than goin to the gym and was so fun that I never realized we had been at it fo 4 hours.

[tjwoody]

did legs, calves followed by some HIIT on the treadmill....it hurt me. lol.

[slvrwolf1]

I wish I could do HIIT on the treadmill. I started this contest doing that, well one day on treadmill and one day on road but something happened to the heal of my foot and Dr doesnt see anything wrong, but it feels to me I have a lump at the back of my heal that hurts everytime I run now. I have had 2 DRs look at it and dont see anything and I tell them there is a lump there and they still dont see anything.

i know its prob a dumb Q but....did u got to a foot dr? get an MRI?

[micoolah]

Man, I had a lot of catching up to do! Glad to see everyone is really bringing it!

Transformations look great so far. Glad to see you made it alright, Beef!

As for me, I've been having left lower back pain for a few days. Starting to worry me a bit. I haven't done cardio because of it. I managed to do upper body on Monday and yesterday I spent the whole day getting rid of clothes I don't want/don't fit me anymore. I've also been really tied up in interviews and the whole job search thing. I'm sorry to say that diet has kind of been a mess (not super horrible though). I'm going to get back on the diet that I was on before...the keto stuff was just not for me. And right now my problem is that I can't seem to eat very well if everything isn't planned out in advance. And the weekends haven't been great...so that has to stop. I'm not really up any (3 lbs but pretty sure that's just carb/water weight) but I need to be losing!!

So the new plan is: get back on that diet, do cardio every morning, and switch lifting to high reps/low weight for lower body and high weight/low reps for upper body.

Hope everyone has a great week!

P.S. I wish I would get hired already, this looking for a job business is way more stressful than actually having one!

[longhorns_p]

:eek:

Luke wtf brah?! Good job mayne

[slvrwolf1]

i know its prob a dumb Q but....did u got to a foot dr? get an MRI?

1st Dr no 2nd Dr was a foot Dr and did MRI said everything is normal but for some reason it hurts and it feels to me there is a lump there. The Dr said it is probably cause I feel the tenderness there and it is my mind telling me its different (lump) there. In other words I was taking it that it is my immagination. I was talking to a fittness trainer about it and they actually watched me for a bit and said it looks like I hit too hard on my heels but when I hurt iit in the first place I was running on my toes. I have a tendancy to do that when I jog I land heel to toe but when I sprint I get up on the ball of my feet more toward toes. LOL I explained that to the trainer and they laughed about it and told me thats not that uncommon. Right now for cardio I use the arc trainer but I remember a few years ago I shed alot of lbs doing HIIT on the treadmill and I want to do it again. I do hit it intense on the arc trainer too tho.

A lot of that could be bloat from your body repairing itself remember :) You'll stabilize in no time!

:/ Plus side = at least you're still able to work out on the foot. I hate that Doctor's can make you feel silly about real pain so easily (in my experience anyway).

i am a huge heel striker too. Couple things...have you looked into the couch to 5 k program? was awesome getting me used to running. Also, focus on landing on the balls of your feet for running. Google some vids and you will see. Our body wasnt built to land on the heels. its why those ugly five finger running "shoes" are geting popular. force u to run correctly.

[Neiderhiser]

No real updates to report this week, weight loss has been stagnant the past 2 weeks. Reason being is I have increased cals the past 2 weeks to fuel new routine in the gym, 2k cals just wasn't cutting it. Will look to keep leaning out though as contest nears to an end.

[slvrwolf1]

thats so true at least I can still do something.

No I havent but sounds like something I need to look at.

[sammykapp]

Amazing progress Luke! Very very impressive!

[beefcake66]

I got a pic to share! It's my knee in its current shape... It's kinda gross looking... I don't know if it would break any rules or not??

I'm going to post it in my log if anyone wants to see it...!
It's so swollen you can barely tell its a knee lol

[DomesticDiva]

I can't think of any rules a gross picture would break.

Glad you're on the mend, beefie!


Just got back from the gym hit legs hard today. Arms/neck still sore from Monday!

[blsmith]

I don't know why but I am suddenly feeling very... I don't know how to put it. It feels like a huge weight is suddenly on me. My mood is down, my walking is heavy. I just feel like sh*t. I am trying to remain positive, but I am beginning to think that I might have to do something to break out of this soon. I remember feeling like this before I went on anti-depressants, and it is never good.

I will be going to the gym today, and hopefully that will lift my spirits.

Yeah Luke looks great!

My weight is starting to stabalize from my binge weekend! Need to shed like 3 more pounds of water/carbs and work on weight loss again. Think I over did it during camping! :) Going to keep low cals till weekend.

Im still up too, TJ. Up 2 pounds. But earlier this week I was up 6, so Im coming down slowly.


I thought my weight was high before surgery... after surgery, it shot up even more.

Today is a busy day for me... I have to go to a TV thing for my football team (the team is going to be on the local Breakfast Television!), and a few appointments, so at least I'll be getting out of the house. I gotta take some extra painkillers with me just in case though, I'll be hurtin soon enough lol

The pain killers alone may contribute to the weight gain. How exciting is that about the football team being on tv? !!!

Use my receipe.
5 Egg Whites
2-3 Splenda
1 Banana
1 Cup Rolled Oats

Blend it up.

Make 4 medium pancakes, maybe 5.

Delicious and taste like banana nut bread, srs.

I'm still sick but feeling a little better. Going to try to get into the gym tomorrow.

I like to do the Arc Trainer on the balls of my feet, it gives a great ankle workout. I stand up on them until I start to feel it in my ankles, then stand back down and repeat that every few minutes.

I want some Fivefinger KSOs so bad. I went to EMS on Monday but they were out of stock in my size :( Hoping they get them in soon. I picked up some Injinji socks to hold me over in the meantime.

must suck beefie..with the leg. im sure in the long term u will be much better off. i got a small taste of how u must feel with my delt and not being able to delt or chest press at all.

trying to work on a short term lift schedule that would add a light squats day, 2nd calves day and also will keep doing another bis day.

[blsmith]

Feeling a little better, but not much. So much stress in my life the past couple of weeks. Until yesterday I was able to handle it but I am beginning to lose it.

Did go to the gym for a chest workout and I actually started to feel strong, so I decided to try my 1RM. Hit a PR with 230.

[slvrwolf1]

I don't know why but I am suddenly feeling very... I don't know how to put it. It feels like a huge weight is suddenly on me. My mood is down, my walking is heavy. I just feel like sh*t. I am trying to remain positive, but I am beginning to think that I might have to do something to break out of this soon. I remember feeling like this before I went on anti-depressants, and it is never good.

I will be going to the gym today, and hopefully that will lift my spirits.

I have been there before and going to the gym always makes me feel better. I got so depressed before I quit the fire department I was on, quit working out and crawled into a corner and just sat there and didnt do me any good but bring me down farther(last fall OBF), but I finally said ok and got back into the gym and currently turning this downfall around. Now if I feel down I force myself to go to the gym and I always come out feeling better. Usually starts off feeling like not going to be a good workout, kinda slow but then I really get into it and come out with the best workout ever.


Use my receipe.
5 Egg Whites
2-3 Splenda
1 Banana
1 Cup Rolled Oats

Blend it up.

Make 4 medium pancakes, maybe 5.

Delicious and taste like banana nut bread, srs.

Sounds delicious I am going to have to try that.

Week #13 runs from 5/31 to 6/6 at midnight. You must post, at least one time before midnight on 6/6. If you miss 2 weeks of posting, you are disqualified.





Hey George have you noticed my name got moved in behind someones link and not bolded for this week. I was looking for it and didnt see it at first. I thought I was DQ'd or something lol. I want to tell you tho, as others have said, you are doing an awesome job keeping track of all the posts with as many entries as there was.

[slvrwolf1]

Feeling a little better, but not much. So much stress in my life the past couple of weeks. Until yesterday I was able to handle it but I am beginning to lose it.

Did go to the gym for a chest workout and I actually started to feel strong, so I decided to try my 1RM. Hit a PR with 230.

awesome congrats. I had a shoulder injury from a few years back that I never noticed was hurt till I started to go heavier. I got up to a 1RM of 185 and had to drop back down to 155 working weight. I can lift 155 x 12 no problem but 185 just puts too much strain on shoulder.

sux man, do ur best to keep ur head up...... i understand how u feel, stressed at work, son tried running away, wife and i are pretty much done and i will prob lose my house that i worked 2 jobs for several years for cause i cant afford it alone.

some days its an absolute battle to get out of bed but whats my options....give up? nah...cant keep doing that. there are however times where we need timeouts...short breaks and theres nothing wrong with them. heck thats what refeed weekends are for! :)

i used the gym to release steam and try to maintain some sort of focus. the obf is really helping me with this and these forums. i did turn into a supp junkie, but its keeping me sane ATM so im not knocking it. :)

keep on keeping on bro!

[Sassy64]

Just checking in... The stress in my life is still at it's high. I'm not very good at handling stress so I've been slacking the gym a bit. I am gonna go to the gym tonight though and get it started again. I wanna give these last few weeks my all! I hope everyone is doing well and sticking to their goals!

[chubbarock]

Thanks guys. I know I don't have it as bad as some people but when I am just trying to recover from severe depression, I know the signs, and I got very scared of the path I was going. Once it hits its lowest point, nothing could get me out. I didn't get there fortunately this time, but I was on my way. I appreciate the support as always.

[arob10]

ughhhh woke up an hour late today had to cram everything from my morning in an hour instead of 2 then running around delivering pizzas til 4 then hitting up the gym to get rid of that MDW weight i still have hanging around less than a month away guys lets get it!

[tjwoody]

theres no such thing as "bad as some people" pal. We all have diff priorities and handle things diff so im sure ur issues are just as important as mine.

One month till the last day. Gotta step my game up and work as hard as I can for this last month.

[beefcake66]

i cant find greek yogurt around here but good to know its chalky and gross lol maybe ill just stick to my normal yogurt :p

I've been on a low carb kick though, tryin to keep them under 50g a day! it's kinda hard to manage that while getting enough fiber lol

is that for bench? Good job setting a PR. getting new PRs while cutting is hard, so thats great.

[ShayZ]

deadlifts 275x6 on monday, new pr :D

Nice! Our strength levels for Dlift are dead even :)

I just put up 275 x 5 for my last set yesterday which was a PR, but I had done 6 sets of squats before I started my deads haha :)

**** was tiring, got my heart pumping though

[RichL1982]

Just checking in. I hope everyone is on their game about now. I might have to take down my refeeds a bit. They are getting to be to crazy lol.

[tjwoody]

haha, im with u...cant be doing the 48 hour refeeds anymore!

lunch today was can of chunk lite tuna, 1tbps mayo, 2 cups salad, 1 fish oil, 2 orange triad multis. got a scoop of whey and a cheese stick rdy for 230ish snack. :)

man, cant believe theres only a month left.

going to implement some more regular cardio again soon and make sure i get my 6th workout day in each week. prob just some LIIS.

[cawiau]

Hello all, how is everyone doing?
Still making it to the gym and keeping diet on track...

Currently my goal is just to go thru the motion of life (really busy, hectic) and just finish this. Basically, still be standing on July 3rd... that is my only goal for now.

Hope everyone is killing it:)

[blsmith]

is that for bench? Good job setting a PR. getting new PRs while cutting is hard, so thats great.

Yeah sorry, for flat bench press. Thanks. :)

[j. ViLLA]

So this whole week, my diet and workouts have been on point, EXCEPT for dinner i been eating BBQ Smoked ribs. Is that gonna hold me back big time? Thats my new weakness.

[Husky Bob]

I think this is from a combo of being off a week post-surg and my new split, which I will try to stay with until the end of the contest and the rest of the summer.

It's this:

Day 1:

Shoulders and arms, cardio

then off a day


Day 2:

Legs, abs, cardio

off another day


Day 3:

Chest, Back, Traps, cardio

off 2 days, then repeat


I think this will give me more time for cardio on off days (I can run in the sun or walk around town).

[Greek_Elite]

im so outta shape for cardio :( went running downtown today with a friend n she kicked my ass.. was thinkin since she only had an hour for lunch it would be like a 1 or 2 mile jog, but nooooo she has a 4 mile route.. i think i made it 1.5-2 miles of total running (started doing intervals after she left me behind lol then i just turned back)

i need to start runnin more

[DomesticDiva]

Re: Greek yogurt being chalky, the only time I had some that was chalky was when I tried Yoplait. According to the ingredients label, I assume it is their regular yogurt with added protein. That wouldn't be authentic Greek yogurt, which is strained for a longer period of time than regular yogurt (thus the increased thickness and higher protein when compared to regular).

OIKOS brand has not been chalky at all. It is rather tart, though. I like the vanilla with Kashi GoLean mixed in it. I also like the blueberry and honey.

[Rozlyn27]

Oh Stairmaster, you are mine enemy.

[Sky22]

Well today i moved up to 50lb dumbbells for the flat bench. Did 3 sets of 8, 6, 5 reps. Felt awesome.

I feel i could move up to 55lbs but i already have a hard time pushing them off myself as i lay down on the bench lol. If i had a spotter to push them off me for the first one i'd be set to move on up.

Diet has been great but i'm starting to crave dirty dirty food. :S My brain is trying to convince me to carb up but i'm still only a few lbs down from my last carb up. I like to lose 5lbs+ from the last before carb up weight before i do another. I'll hold off another couple of days and if i'm still the same weight i'll do a carb up so i have plenty of time to work it off before the end of this contest.

[tjwoody]

Oh Stairmaster, you are mine enemy.

i did it for 15 mins for first time in maybe forever. think i liked it...i can see how it can be hard though!

[beefcake66]

i did it for 15 mins for first time in maybe forever. think i liked it...i can see how it can be hard though!

I've always hated it.. me and stairs are not friends anyways, lol

Great job, youll be surprised how fast you move up. I was doing 50's at the start of the year and now do 90's. Hoping to do 100's soon.

[Sky22]

Great job, youll be surprised how fast you move up. I was doing 50's at the start of the year and now do 90's. Hoping to do 100's soon.

Thanks. I think i started with 35lbs after getting tired of barbell bench and not having a spotter so i coudln't push myself to my max. At 45lbs for the last few weeks. Figured i wanted to try for something more today and looks like i'm good to go. :) 55lbs here i come!

Do you have trouble getting them up on the first one like me? I've watch a guy (bodybuilder getting ready for contest) push it up with his knees as he's laying back which wasn't too bad of idea. Though he was having to push up a lot larger dumbbells than me. lol

Any tips?

Any tips?

something I was taught to help with that is to set up a 2nd bench perpendicular to your bench. Put the dumbbells on that bench as if they were on the rack. Then what you do is take them in your hands with your thighs leaning against the dumbbells and using both your arms and legs slide them onto your thighs as you are sitting on the bench and then use your thighs to heave them into place like you saw that guy do. Made it so much easier to get in position for me.
