Thanks everyone for all the kind comments!

Impressed with your pics! More with your cars....NSX huh, saw one in my block the other day. Always had a liking for that car. Got an 08 civic mugen si, Honda fan too.

Yes, Honda lifer here!!! That was my Type R in the first picture and now I'm currently on my second NSX...

My two garage queens!

I started a trend, apparently.

Would be another fun one to join.

Haven't seen pics of you in a long while. Lookin huge, definite progress! Certainly would be impressive to see you cut down.

Bicep lookin beastly!

Lulz! My wife & I are both engineers, and we like our toys...

Latest bicep rupture recovery progress pic . . . think things are moving in the right direction. I am restricted to light/moderate weights when working that arm directly and not cleared to lift heavy on that arm or with movements involving that arm til Sept/Oct. So I think the bicep is responding, but will be a few months before I can really expect much growth there. Overall I think the arm is filling back in pretty well.

Excellent progress - you are certainly making a comeback.

I need some feedback on this:

I need some straight talk because I'm never quite sure how I appear, it's a very mixed bag.

The loose skin is an issue, of course, BUT...it shows how far you have come. And your arms are excellent. I wish mine were as good.

Wow, you've lean out amazingly well. It's obvious since you have visible abs. But as mentioned earlier the loose skin is the problem. Have you looked into surgery? It's almost like you deserve it since you worked you're ass off to get fit!

You definitely deserve it.

Thanks guys. I've looked into surgery - I was denied by my health insurance (eye roll) and quoted US$17,000 for both the pecs and the stomach.

Is there an ombudsman or similar where you can try to dispute or appeal the denial. You'd think that it's in your insurance company's best interest to pay for the skin removal rather than a lifetime of obesity-related problems.

Moldy, I've lost a lot of fat too and have loose skin issues...the longer you are leaner the more it will tighten up.-to an extent

Wow, I had no idea. I thought you were always in great shape.

Feeling pretty good about my legs today, after week in which I increased my squats and deadlifts by 10 lbs each. It's amazing how those little 5 lb plates feel as light as feathers when you're putting them on the bar, but man... I was WIPED out after those workouts, and still feel a little shaky in the legs this morning.

Psyched for my chest workout in a couple of hours, and then 3 days off to meet up with some old college friends.

It seems like my quads aren't quite as ripped as they were last year before I started doing squats, but they're 1/2" bigger now, while my body weight is the same. Finally broke 15" on the calves, so they are now officially bigger than my arms.

Good job! Those little plates really pay off I've been squatting my fanny off (or on, as the case may be) to get my quads to look like yours without much success.

Excellent - well on your way!

Damn, look at that arm! Pretty much my target build.

Enjoy your vacation!

[induced_drag]

Legs not at my leanest, but not looking bad.

End of deadlift day.

[anonymous]

Haven't been able to train legs for over a month now, so this is the closest I've got. I taped extra weight to the frame to increase the weight. 655 super shakey off the high handles

I've asked the manager to buy a proper shrug bar but expect he probably won't.. been debating buying one myself and bringing it into the gym but transporting an 80lb bar seems like a PITA

[fittofattofit]

I haven't checked in here for a week and I've missed the gun show!

The jacked arms thread!

Wow....gets hard to keep up with all the awesome updates in here. You guys (an gals ; ) ) are just killing it. Tons of good motivation in here.

Although I have been focusing on strength training, I snapped this in the gym tonight. I have been leaning up a little.

<<<<<<<<<<does not do forearm work and uses straps : D And what the heck is wrong with my tricep? ; )

Nothing wrong with those tris and those are huge forearms ... I suppose you don't have to work them separately if you're pulling 620 .... even with straps

Ov 35 keeps kicking ass. I love it. Happy Monday

Big biceps Pharma!

For no apparent reason....

Messing around after training tonight.....becoming a member of the folded arms crew, and copying FLEX's avi. : D

Folded arms crew and looking lean and jacked. Great pic Busta

Chest day today...

I know you were working chest Gary but the cuts in those guns stand out!

Got out as many reps as I could...damn they go fast! Great work as always everyone!

Today...

Looking great Kimm

I had a little fun with Father's day this year. This first picture is me and my nephew on Father's Day 2003 and the second one is the two of us on Father's Day 2013

You looked great in 2003 and bigger and better in 2013. Huge arms and mirin' that hosepipe biceps vein

I need some feedback on this:



I need some straight talk because I'm never quite sure how I appear, it's a very mixed bag.

You've got some good mass going there now and a good biceps peak

Do I Lift?

Biceps and forearms give it away. Add mass to those triceps and you won't be asking that question

[fittofattofit]

Final pics for the gun show

Arm shot from first part of the week...

Making a little progress on my biceps

Bis and delts are looking good. Nice peak!

Still working on getting a bit leaner while maintaining strength. Pic taken this morning.

EDIT: fuuuuuu.... sorry the pic's so huge!

Great mass and those arms are huge ... you're going to be looking like a monster as those cuts come in

Final pic for the gun show .... great size and definition


The legs and lifts thread

Weekly highlight including complexes, brainfarts, misses, and PRs.

Awesome lifting as always Joel

Legs not at my leanest, but not looking bad.

End of deadlift day.

Not bad eh .... my legs have never had that definition. Great cuts coming in

Awesome strength on those trap bar deads ... your form looks flawless to me

Happy with leg progress.

Seriously jealous of the mass, shape and definition there Pharma

Great progress and looking really aesthetic

Stopped in for my weekly dose of awesomeness from the O35 and wasn't disappointed.

Terrific job! Congratulations!

[cmoore]

Man this thread has it all. Beautiful women, big muscles, strong lifts, and huge motivation. Awesome week everyone!

Today's nonsense:

Still working on the 70 weighteds. On the bright side I own the 45lb holds now. So I've got 2 more weeks of this broken toe nonsense before I can start trying hard on my feet again. In the meantime at least I'm having fun trying to master these weighted flags.

Unreal. I used to be insanely impressed by these. Then I tried normal no weight bent leg half assed flags myself. Now I know you are not human. Awesome inspiration cmoore. Please keep the pics and vids coming!

Da fark?? And you ME a bastid when you're pulling 500???

Nice job buddy!

[themyth2009]

Great work all been really busy with work but I drop in to look for motivation. Was at pool with my boy took a shot when got in. I am on my way to the do you even lift club.

[frozensparky]

I am on my way to the do you even lift club.

Lol you are way to hard on yourself because you are a long way from being in that club. With all the things you've had to deal with you still look better than 99% of guys half your age. Truly inspiring.

[pharmamarketer]

Agreed 100%.

Agreed 100%.

I concur as well.
