This Week in the O35 (pics/vids)

[highiso]

None taken, I always look smaller and bloated in pics/vids compared to IRL. I don't think you'd "wonder" if I lifted were you to meet me in person.

I'm still skinny though too, so no worries. FWIW, just taken (cold muscles, mostly). Even in B&W a lot of def washes out but it is what it is.

Dude I'm getting so much closer to looking like you by the day, a few more lbs and i'll have it. Unfortunately not in time for my feature pics. However I'm lacking in the chest area I believe.

[ChickenPauk]

Had a bit of a deload week this week with legs anyway and today was lighter weight and higher reps as tomorrow at noon - toughmudder.com

10-12 miles, I'm no cardio fiend either - hope I come out relatively unscathed.

Might as well milk my 15 seconds of fame for all it's worth. Ha.

Played around with Instagram a bit after taking this pic today. Tri definition coming in.

Muthafugga.... guy has open heart surgery and can't work out and his chest STILL looks way better than mine.

There is a long line I cant fight them off...

[RedXray]

Made a discount version of the Stanford Glove. Then I made a mind numbing video about it for those that might want to make one too..

That's very ingenious cmoore!

So you build prosthetic arms/legs

Wonder if the Sanford technology would also work with a residual limb?

Cast me a new socket with this technology, pull a vacuum through the sockets valve... and I'll be a chill'n

Inspired by cmoore, I tried doing a one-arm pull up today. It seemed like an impossible feat. So I tried some negatives. Raised myself up on the bar, grabbed with one arm and slowly lowered. Well, "slowly" might not be the best word to describe it. So then I did a one-arm cheat holding my wrist with the other arm and trying not to use the other arm too much. I did a couple with each arm with way. Maybe I'll eventually get there.

I took a quick pic after today's back workout. It's not a pic of my back because my back sucks bad, but my arms were partially pumped from the workout.



Keep the thread going, guys!

[induced_drag]

I post a lot of pics...yep I do.

But I realized tonight that when I am cutting, I tend to post a lot of shirtless pics. When bulking (as I am now), I feel bloated and I tend to post mostly lifting vids (cause my strength goes way up) or I post pics in a tank. I feel this is kind of a cop out....only posting flattering pics.

To put it all out there and inspired by Bodyhard and many others who bear it all......good-bad or indifferent....I brought the camera in the gym tonight to take pics of my (bulky and carb bloated) self. I was hesitant to do this..but I am putting my money where my mouth is. Even rolled up the shorts for this one

I am just about at the point where I will start cutting again....but really enjoying the strength. My wife will be happy when I cut. She calls me "boulder" or "gorilla" when I am in bulk mode. I take it as a compliment.....but I dont think she means it as one

You have to be over 194lbs now no? I mean I am 190 and you dwarf me and that can't be by only 4lbs.

Good job ID. Muscle mass is tough to come by. Keep all you can.

Amen. hahaha...

Holy sh!t man you ar elooking huge as f'ck!

I really dont know my true weight till I stop this crazy diet. I'll explain. I have been experimenting with a new take on carb cycling. On my workout days, I often intake 500+g of carbs, including simple sugars, dextrose...etc(2000+cals just in carbs). This causes crazy swings in my water balance. My weight is between 203 and 211....yes...it really swings around that much on this diet. I will know my "real" weight the after the first week of my cut as my water balance will settle in back to "normal".

U look really lean for end of a bulk. Your big and lean.

Thanks man....means a lot coming from you...cause I know what your standards are. I have really payed a lot of attention to keeping reasonable leanness while bulking over the past several bulk phases. I have really discovered the power of cyclical eating.

I-D, I would love to look that bad bud.

Thanks man....to be fair, I am very critical of myself and I know that. I just dont like the puffy bloated feeling all the time coming off of being as lean as I was for most of summer. Not quite as eager to pull the shirt off

Good job ID. Muscle mass is tough to come by. Keep all you can.

Thanks!

Amen. hahaha...

You are looking pretty good man. I think you will be surprised what happens when you get your body comp dialed in. I believe your motivation will take a big up-turn. For a tall guy, you seem like you have the ability to carry very good thickness which is a rarity. I think you would be huge in the real sense if you desired.

Great leg definition ID.

Thanks again. At the moment I guess I have 220lbs and 10-12% BF in my head as a number to shoot for.... I think that I could show a lot more muscle with some more fat loss.

I did a whole bunch of measuring recently and I've also set some goals there... I'd like to shoot for a 50" chest and 32" waist but not sure how realistic that is TBH (currently at 47.5" and 36" respectively). I would be more than satisfied with a 15" drop from my chest to my waist and a difference of 10" between my waist and hips. Don't ask me why...lol... just random numbers that sound good.

I think that 230-240lbs at 10-12% would be MORE than big enough for my tastes. That's roughly NFL linebacker/tight end size and I think that those guys have a nice blend of size and muscle definition.

You can actually order those? Ha! Awesome! Arms are lookin' pretty jacked there Bando-brah!

ID, I can't say this without sounding like a f'cking jerk so I am not even going to start with "with all due respect" so here it is. I just asked you if you were over 194lbs, I did not ask "how", so keep the diet sh!t to someone who has not been in this game as long as I have OK. I mean seriously by addressing that statement to me it is like you are telling me "Here is how I do it, if you do this you to will get more mass as well" and I honestly don't want to go there with you. So, next time if someone like myself (been in the game a while now) asks you, "are you over 194lbs?" Just say something along these lines "Hell yeah man I am up to 220lbs", you get where I am coming from?

No prob man.... Just was trying to answer as straight as I can. I really dont know what I weigh as it is fluctuating so much on a daily basis. (6-7 lb daily swings.) Never really experienced this before, but this diet is very different then anything I have done as well.



Of course I am over 194...Last time I updated my weight was over 3 months ago when I dieted down to hit 194 from from peaking at 210. I thought you knew that....but since I know you dont follow my journal, I thought I would explain in more detail.
