wait for it and i'm sure you will get a good kind girl that is wifey material

also we are on day 17 of Ramadan

nothing left! only 13 days maybe 12

You're completely right brother, but when I hear of places where the proportion of 'good' is higher than 'bad', I'd rather save some time by visiting these places. Then again, maybe there's plenty of 'good' in front of me, but I'm just being too blind to actually see it.

Eid is almost. I'm pretty hungry for some baklava!

I'll just stick to my eggs and oatmeal xD

You'll definitely take that back when you get a taste of that :P

If at any time anyone of y'all happens to be in Holland, hit me up and I will hook you up with this heavenly blessed dish...

In Turkey, Leblebi is a snack made from roasted chickpeas, usually eaten with raisins & other nuts. I love chickpeas, but have never eaten them for breakfast.

Loool, I wasn't aware.

for lolzzz

nun, really needing to go to the bathroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and dancing, but every once in a while the lights would turn off. Each time after the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.

However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bartender, and asked, May I please use the restroom?" The bartender nervously replied, "I really don't think you should."
Why not?" the nun asked. Well, there is a life-size statue of a naked man in there, and his most private parts are covered only by a fig leaf." Nonsense," said the nun, "I'll just look the other way."
So the bartender showed the nun the door at the top of the stairs, and she proceeded to the restroom. After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place washopping with music and dancing again. However, they did stop just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause.
She walked up to the bartender and said, "Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?"
Well, because now they know you're one of us," said the bartender. "Would you like a drink?"
But, I still don't understand," said the puzzled nun.
You see," laughed the bartender,"every time the fig leaf on that statue is lifted up, the lights go out in the whole place. Now, how about that drink?"

She's one cheeky kunt mate I swear.

[kamiz]

I think I will continue with the IF protocol after Ramadan, the fats been melting off so far without adding cardio to my 500 calorie deficit. Strength has gone up too.

Mad props for thickness and training totally fasted. Have you ever considered MMA training? How is your cardio?

everyday fasted mode , just right after lifting weights for 1 hour jogging

except on legs day i do it on stationary bike cuz i can't walk that much without pain

gonna start a mini cut after Ramadan get down to 5-6% this time

[bilaba70]

Tunisian/Algerian baklava is a bit different from the Turkish or Balkan variant.



But all baklava is yummy in my book

I can see you getting to very low digits easily, especially with your muscle mass....should be no biggie after Ramadan!

So you jog everyday after lifting weights? For how long? Mind giving a break down of your workout routine....I know you are fasting and it might take some typing but I'd really appreciate it brother!

i was already at 6-8% Before Ramadan , currently between 8-10 not more , still got my veins and full abs , less defined but i'm fine

it's not jogging it's like fast walking , usually if i'm alone for 60 minutes , if someone with me we do up to 70 minutes , legs day as i said on stationary bike no walking for me

already had first meal 3 hours ago , not fasting now

here is my split in Ramadan only:-
Chest
Arms
Legs
Shoulders/traps
Back

regular days:-

Chest+Bi
Legs
Shoulders+Tri
Back+Traps

Reps 12,10,8,6 bulking or maintaining
cutting 25,25,20,20 super set included and drop sets

4 exercises for big muscle groups (chest,front legs,shoulders,back)
3 exercises for small muscle groups (bi,tri,hamstrings , traps < only 2 exercises)

forearms/calves and abs i pick one everyday and do it high reps 30+ , medium to heavy weights till failure


thats it , i switch between exercises everyweek i don't repeat them , notice that i'm 4 years now into lifting soon 5 years

if u are new the split is fine but follow same exercises for 1 month then switch in the next month with new exercises to follow the whole month

[Jack3dSparrow]

Super Manlet, sick routine classic but has the twist of forearms/calves everyday as those are usually stubborn areas. Why the high reps when cutting? When I joined these forums I assumed the same, but then everyone here told me high reps during cutting is broscience, I dunno seems to be working for you though.

So not jogging its a fast walk, I assume on an incline? Why do you do this? I have a martial arts buddy (muay thai and jitsu) and he calls that the "walk of death" ie. NEVER DO it. He says it has no benefits....it does not provide conditioning and it also does nothing much for caloric burning. All it does is stress the body. He does stuff like barbell complexes and timed 3 mile runs. Anyway, I got off point there, what I wanted to ask was why the long haul cardio sessions? What heart rate do you tend to stay at? What is the purpose of them?

it's not everyday lets say the split started this week with chest

so chest+bi (add forearms here) and maybe abs
then legs (add calves here)
then Shoulders+triceps (add forearms here) maybe abs too or leave to next day
Back+traps (calves here)

it's switching .. not everyday .. when u see it , it looks like everyother day

High reps increase muscle growth and brings out the Striations , the lower BF% u get the more Striations u see but it gotta follow some stretching movements after each set u do

and here everyone has a PhD in bro science , listen to them probably going no where , i'm talking from my experience not from following these forums.

lol , i like the "walk of death" , have u ever seen a pro IFBB running on trademill ? no

or a top bodybuilding athlete doing HIIT? maybe few and lets say there are no more than 5% out of the 100% of the rest , most of them they just walk

go watch Rentless for Ronnie Coleman dvd 1 and dvd 2 , or watch Jay Cutler or Kai Greene .. non of them run or do anything beside walking or stationary bike , or the stepper i guess it's name ?

for me i walk near the beach everyday , not incline nothing .. just walking ..



what I wanted to ask was why the long haul cardio sessions? What heart rate do you tend to stay at? What is the purpose of them?

cause it's the best to get shredded , specially if u want to shred the fat faster

when i'm cutting it's usually 2 hours a day , 1 hour first thing in the morning (empty stomach) .. which was approved by PhD holder Layne Norton it has no different than eating and walking

while most of the top bodybuilders do it on empty stomach since the 70's and still effective .. so it's all about science and experience .. if its working why bothering reading how it has no more effect than eating and walking

and another 1 hour post workout


in the final week of cutting i do 3 hours of cardio 1 in the morning , 1 post workout 1 before sleeping



your friend runs for 3 miles , burning more muscle than fat .. thats the run of death

i have no problem discussing anything but problem is when a kid or 2 jumps here and start pulling stuff from no where


also to tell u , i tried that in both ways .. natty and on dark side .. it works the same

[determined22]

super manlet
i got instructors here pushing me to join the dark side...they keep telling me il see results in a month which would take me forever....true?

i am happy being a natty ..but if going dark side i can see great results why not...

lol ...the dark side(darth vader )

[SUPER_MANLET]

lol ...the dark side(darth vader )

depends on :
how old are you?
how long been lifting ? what are your goals? .. and many other factors

[determined22]
