Since I'm deloading this whole week, I won't be posting the workouts. Since I'd like to keep this log at least slightly interesting until then, here are some slightly updated stats.
A few days ago
Wrists: 6.5"
Forearms: 12.25"
Arm: 15.1"
Ankles: 8"
Calves: 14.25"
A few days ago
Wrists: 6.25"
Ankles: 7.75"
Forearms: slightly over 11.75"
Arm: 15"
Calves: 14"
Notice how as I lost fat around my wrists, I lost a proportionate amount of fat around my forearms which I found pretty cool. However, calves are proportionately larger to my ankles now, even though they went down in size.
Since all (or at least most) of the size I lost around my forearms is fat, they do look a bit more cut. Since I refuse to post pics in any normal shirtless poses, I'll post some forearm pics
Considering I had absolutely no visible veins anywhere until a year ago, I'm pretty happy with the progress so far5/3/1 Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137728193

I read the whole thread and saw your posts @ weightrainer.net earlier haha. I remember hearing Layne talking about the calculators in an earlier post and he really hates them lols. I find it awesome though how Casey shows up in almost every thread where his calculators are debated.

Haha.
I can pretty much tell you how everyone would react to a certain physique before they even post in the thread. Steve and Luke will always be extremely doubtful of just about any decent-sized natty, while Nick and Jason will usually be just slightly skeptical. Casey usually thinks everyone close to meeting the predictions is natty and will go in depth as to why.

This reminds me... try to find the Jeff Willet thread @ the forums over there... it was great. Here is the bb.com thread...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=124436511
If you're unaware, the guy competes @ 5'7 198 lbs in the IFBB and insists he's natural lol. Obvious fraud is obvious.

I've seen it too and the guy did a great job.
However, I don't believe Willet's bullsh!t for one second. No natural has ever come anywhere close to his size. Jim Cordova, John Harris, and Dave Goodin are the cream of the crop in natural bodybuilding among guys 5'7, however Willet has 30 lbs on all of them. It just pisses me off when guys like that mislead people then use the 'ol "don't limit yourself reach for the stars" argument to justify their claims. It's fine to ignore limits since doing so pushes most people to be the best they can be in bodybuilding, but when you gain 30 lbs from drugs and go around saying sh!t like that to mislead everyone, you're going to end up with a lot of disappointed individuals in the long run.5/3/1 Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137728193

Ha.
I actually searched Skip Lacour's name a couple times over there and from what I can remember I couldn't find anything. I don't know Skip's height or weight, but I'm fairly sure he's in the category of John Hansen. In other words, he probably did PHs or something for a couple years and realized the drugs weren't worth it, so he probably turned to natural bb'ing as a result and dropped the gear. That's my guess.5/3/1 Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137728193

Great post! Goes to show you how lean you really need to be to get down to contest shape.
If you look at page 2, Casey states that LaCour had an FFMI of 30. Top naturals don't have any higher than 25-26, and Arnold for example had an FFMI of 28. I believe we have our answer now lol.5/3/1 Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137728193

Fell asleep ~ 5:30 just woke up a few minutes ago haha. Being a lazy ass bum ftw.
Speaking of which, I thought my next summer course started tomorrow but I just realized that it starts in a month. This gives me more of an incentive to stay up late for no reason at all.
Ha, at least he admitted it. I called it though
Jim Cordova is a great example why proportions are so important in bodybuilding. If you took his measurements, your mouth would drop when you see how small they are, but he gives off the illusion that he's much bigger than he really is. If he made a post here with just his measurements and no pics, I'm sure most of the teen section would think nothing of them. This is why I like Cordova.... he doesn't need to be big to look huge.5/3/1 Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137728193

I tried the 90 degree parallel arm thing and I think I can fit around 1.5-2 fingers, so what does that mean? Seems good, but who knows. Crazy thing about that is though is if you look at a lot of the elite bodybuilders of all-time, some of them didn't have extremely "full" muscle bellies (even Ronnie's bicep was somewhat highly inserted, but just had a ****load of mass).

Summer classes are great... much easier than taking classes in the fall imo. I go to Stockton.
O hai RDRB, I forgot you changed your account to tYg3rA lol.
Most ectos can fit 3 I believe, so 2 is pretty good. I can fit 2 fingers in there, but less is better. Guys will very full muscle bellies can barely fit one.
I noticed the same thing about Ronnie, which surprised me. I believe most of his muscle bellies are full, but even elite guys like ROnnie don't always have full bellies throughout their whole bodies.5/3/1 Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=137728193
