"The Gift, Wasted"

Each day you are granted a gift of twenty-four precious hours. This time you are given comes with fine-print, though: if you do not use it, you lose it. There is no...

Huh, interesting. You could actually go either way... you have enough mass that you'd have something to show if you cut. But you do have room to slap on even more mass, too. Just depends what kind of...

Layne Norton. Natural. Shredded.

As long as you see yourself as a phaggot, you're not going to get anywhere. Change starts in the mind.

Take a piece of paper. Find a pen. Now write:

"I'm DONE for the next month. I will not have a single drink for the next 30 days, period."

And carry that piece of paper with you everywhere you...

The phrase "muscle memory" seems like a convenient phrase used to describe the phenomenon of being able to quickly regain strength and mass that had previously been gained but since lost.

I don't...

/mirin' quads

That means you're doing it right. If strength was simply maintaining or even reducing, then you'd have reason to panic. It means your bulk is working, your body is responding. Remember, 3.5 weeks is...

This is a great goal to have! It gives you something to work towards.

Some thoughts on your current methodology:

1500 cal diet is too extreme (for you); it will make consistency difficult as it...

Ya the consensus seems right, 18% looks accurate. You have a lot of mass there. Once you hit 15% you are going to start seeing some definition for sure. By the time you reach your goal of 10%...

Well first off, you are right: you are not 8.3% BF, period.

One problem is that I don't have a 'before', 'after' comparison to go by...but I'll take your word for it and assume that there hasn't...

Solid, man. I added some of your pictures to my "objective" folder, because your physique is basically exactly what I am aiming for, especially since we are the same height. I can't believe how...

If you're anything like me, then fatloss is a bitch...just remember that sometimes your body stalls and stalls and stalls and you almost want to give up -- but you're right at the cusp, at a tipping...

Ya, dude............ you're acting like a girl.

If you continue to THINK you look feminine, you are going to ACT feminine, and that is the real problem here -- not your hip-to-whatever ratio.

I've switched to sumo because it works better with my body mechanics. With my particular arm to torso ratio, the conventional deadlift position is very difficult for me to get into...I am flexible...

Well that's the thing, I'm closer to bodybuilder than powerlifter (though would never compete in either).

Mm, its not just that I can do more reps though. I can lift more damn weight with the sumo, period. I have a better 1RM, 3RM, 5RM, everything with the sumo

I'm thinking about switching my main deadlift from conventional to sumo, and would like some insight/advice.

Here is why I want to switch:

1. I can lift significantly more weight with the sumo...

Always great having a photographer in the family, isn't it lol.

You're looking great, a lot of people's "end goal" is the physique you have right now. In terms of improvement, it depends on your...
