This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

[EB68]

Excellent! Your weight 165 here? I see the christmas tree.

Yes, I am 165 in that picture. Probably going to be in the 150's to hit 8%, hopefully around 158 or so.

[Sen8or]

Ridiculous!

I think you need a little more work with those little green dumbbells under that Concept2 rower. :P

I seriously don't want to know what gets exercised lifting those.....

More muscle in those calves than in my whole legs, so depressing

[mscriven]

Impossible! lol
On my slow bulk, 170 pounds, Taken today-

Impressive! I can only hope I can look that good at 43, let alone 53! Nice work!

[DSUP]

Bro. Bro. You look like a superhero. This thread is so motivating. I wanna look like that ^^^

[DerAlta]

two posts in one week... It's an overload from me.

I'm down to my last few heavy days before my Meet on the 26th. Last night was Deadlift night. so it was warm ups and then working my way up to 5 sets of 2 reps at 505lbs.

Here's the final set of 2.

Current BW is 235lbs

Excellent man!

Good luck at your comp. Post up the results/vids man, I love that stuff.

[DerAlta]

Thanks all,

It's a small meet, and it's a fledgling federation (yes...) I'm doing it to set my goal for my next Meet and to have a bit of fun at an event.

It's in a small crossfit gym in Beverly, MA.

My next meet is in June in Hartford CT at the Europa Convention. That's the big goal. Breaking 1400, Raw (w/ knee wraps) in the 220lb class. 600lb dead, 500lb squat, 300lb+ bench.

Your a Beast DerAlta! That's some power.

Looking good peoples!

I decided to mess around with some posing routines. It's been a while since I've done one, still working out the kinks...

Are you back to training again?

Awesome videos!

[DocHoss]

edit: I'm behind in this thread (again), so my apologies to all the awesomeness I've overlooked!

Thanks guys. Appreciate all the comments.
475 x 1 with belt & knee wraps.

Awesome lifts with and without belt!
Way to go - make Lisa proud! And the rest of us very humble.

A pic from this evenings back session. Working hard to get to 8% BF, but still have a ways to go.

Wow, super impressive! You've come so far in the past year - great job!

Here's some fun. Limited on time today, so ITT we squat in Jeans. This is set 3 of 3/0/3 tempo squats with only 30 second breaks. Holy self-torture. The shakes ensued. Only 135 lbs, but it's hard as hell doing it this way. Legs appear to be responding already.

Oh My, that looks totally wicked. I may have to give that a try tomorrow. Let's see if I'm still walking on Saturday

Bro. Bro. You look like a superhero. This thread is so motivating. I wanna look like that ^^^

Me too. You look awesome, ID! No question at all that you could do some serious damage if you ever decided to compete.

Good luck with them both! Beverly is just north of the airport, right?

Awesome videos!

Wow. You were my first idol on this site and you continue to inspire me and make myself work harder every day.




P.S. Nice hippie minidress. Me likey.

Looks good, if I were to pick one however, I like the fluidity of the Lacuna Coil (DM) song vs the staccato feeling of the NIN song.

Cool posing! I'd probably fall down if I tried that. Looks like your leg is better? You look fantastic too!

Great vids kimm4 I love the song "terrible lie" but I would have to choose the other routine as it is very fluent. You do a great job of showing power and feminimity. Love both vids.

[DougHolland]

Your Posing NIN Kimm was Excellent! Reps on spread.

[Brad805]

Well my pics are not of the recent caliber in this thread, but yesterday I finally dropped under 200lb, so what the heck its time for another tubbo to post a pic. There is no before pic cause dat be some nasty chit. The best I can do to prove I started at 277lb is the note that was put in my daily log on Jan 8, 12. No shirtless pics right now, but another 10 - 12wks of the current plan and who knows. I know I have at least another 25 - 30lb to chase off. Thanks to all that keep posting the motivating stuff ITT.


Not much to show for guns yet, so just a relaxed photo from the basement gym.

[induced_drag]

Damn, if had legs like that i'd never wear pants.

I tried that one time....but it did not go over well with the neighbors

I think you need a little more work with those little green dumbbells under that Concept2 rower. :P

My kids like to play with them....but I actually did use them for a while rehabbing my shoulder. (rotations)

Bro. Bro. You look like a superhero. This thread is so motivating. I wanna look like that ^^^

That is an awfully high compliment. Thanks. Like most on here, I tend to look at what I need to improve upon rather then the progress that has been made. I am less then a month away from the big 4-0 and reflecting on this crazy journey to recapture my former self. It is nice to know I am going to not only make it...but exceed it. Thanks!

..
Me too. You look awesome, ID! No question at all that you could do some serious damage if you ever decided to compete.
.

Maybe some day..... I think I will probably move into powerlifting in the near future...but always with at least one eye on aesthetics.

Nice work! Look forward to see how your comps go. Been leaning that way myself and watching you do it, fires me up to start trying to push for some heavy weights!

Very nice Kimm... It is so nice to have a female perspective around here along with a fierce competitor. Very inspirational.

Nice job man....That is a lot of progress....and I am sure more is to come. I think you have done the hard part already!

Take the shirtless pics, do not feel obligated to share them. Later when you are jacked you will be glad you took them and can use them for side by side progress showing off.

Trust me on this.

And nice job on dumping 77 lbs.

[bustasinclair]

Thought I'd post my most recent deadlift progress....on my way back up to 585 and beyond!! I'm quite pleased, but not content

Way to go Matt, built looks spot on, very impressed with your progress on your physique.

Ohhh nice deadlift by the way.

Good job brad. Like bando said take the pics even if you don't share them. You will be glad u did

^^^^^^ I am so glad I did this. I take lots of progress pics....and they are a great source of info. When you get to a certain point, you are even happy to say...."this is how crappy I used to look"

Good luck!

[Bando]

I take lots of progress pics

Really?

[induced_drag]

Really?

You must have never seen them..... let me post some more for you!




On a serious note.....progress pics are one the biggest sources I have of motivation. Our own emotions make us so fickle... Heck, some days I feel 'big' and other days (especially when dieting) I struggle with the thoughts that I am 'scrawny'..... It is nice to have pics to go back and look through. It can really be an effective tool to keep you on track. Again...when dieting, your mind can play some real big tricks on you... Seeing the scale numbers drop can start to mess with your head.

No apologies here for taking lots of pics..... I will only apologize if I dont hit goals that I set out to hit or dont progress. On that note.... I like seeing others progress pics just as much. That too is a great source of inspiration.

Thanks guys. I do have shirtless progress pics. I have hated taking them because pics are way harsher than the ol mirror.
