1000 calories for a 14" pizza that looks like it has tons of cheese on, probably more like 3000.

I'm staring to get a weird twinge in my delt area now. But for the most part it's confined to the stabbing pain in between my trap and rhombus(?). It's ****ing with my head more than anything. My work schedule should stabilize next week, was planning on making the gym my bitch err day. With the exception of calf raises I can't picture any workout avoiding the area.

what helped me the most was making sure my shoulder blades are as pinched back as i can get them before any pushing set. granted, ive had crappy shoulders as far back as i can remember.

Unfortunately my Thyroid blood work is normal.

My T4 is low end, T3 medium, but by no means Hypo. TSH 1.8 which is like .4 over average I think so marginally slower.

Time to celebrate with 4 burgers and a McFlurry BradKemp style.

Yeah, now I can't drink T3 without feeling guilty.

Just ordered Slin Sane V2 and Yohimbine HCL.

BRB 2% BF while bulking.

Have you had good results with yohimbine hcl before? Thinking about trying yc instead of ec next stim cycle.

Never tried it before cause I'm a Canabrah, can't just find it anywhere. My entire bulk went to Stitchhandles and LadyJButt so I'm hopeful it increases circulation there as its supposed to. Cutting to sub 10% again then using Slin Sane when bulking.

Can I get wheelz with seated calf extensions + leg extensions?

[Serpentarius]

Can I get wheelz with seated calf extensions + leg extensions?

no, but you can build good legs with the leg press machine with getting max range of motion. Zero reason to squat if you want to build up your legs but still a good exercise since it works the back, legs and recruits sooo many motor units. Leg extensions wont really hit the sartorius or rectus femoris like the other exercises will and may possibly cause imbalances in the quadriceps. Hack squat machine is also a good one as are dumbbell lunges.
If you want to get bigger calves screw seated and just do standing, this is from a perspective of just getting it bigger since seated hits the soleus way more than gastrocnemius. Use the smith machine for standing calf press.

My gym doesn't have a hack squat machine or a smith machine but its good to know that I can get gains with mostly the leg press. I'll start doing the stand up calves. I do dumbbell lunges now but they just give me doms in my bum.

chit son

u got any back pics? no homo

I actually don't really have any. Last ones I have are probably two years old and I have put on a good amount of size since then. Slowly coming back down after winter bulk, maybe snap some newer pics once BF gets a bit lower.

jelly, was feeling strong in here until you posted

Don't sweat it. I have been lifting for years and gaining strength on deads has been a goal for a while. Keep at it and you will get up there.

only the dead can know peace from these e-stats....
..♥

y u mad though? This the internet, I thought E-stats were mandatory?

Have vid of 455 pulls unfortunately I forgot my spoon to include in the vid so it might not even really be me.

I know what you mean. With all of the back injuries around and what not (SERP) I'm really scared to push myself for fear of "ripping my spine out of my back"

Phoenixr2 this is where I'll eat crow and admit I would enjoy a PT to show me how to deadlift without killing my back.

EDIT: and I mean a good PT who can properly correct form, not some bro-science spitting douche....

The "good" part is the key. I have seen MANY trainers that couldn't do a proper pull and watching them get a client setup was even more scary.
Always better to play it safe. I did 135 for a LONG time. Not that I didnt have more strength but because I wanted to hammer down form. If you can take a vid I'd be happy to offer critiques.

Pfft. Still pulling 405 after being in a deficit and not DLing for over a month. Catch up son!

Srs though, even when I go on this mega-cut in a week and a half I'm not letting my 4 plate DL disappear. I want 500lbs on my next bulk.

I have you on weight, but I am more impressed by your lift. To me its more impressive to see a smaller guy pulling more weight then a massive guy, or a guy doing big weights but using assistance.

I only secretly compete with guys my size. It saves my ego a little bit. I use straps after ~360 though so really it's the same as pulling 2 plates. Everything gets cut in half.

ever tried without them? just out of curiosity.

[Znik]

anybody do weighted decline crunches? if so, what angle, how much weight, how many reps/sets?

Do em at max angle on my situp-bench with 90lbs weights on chest 6-8x3 currently , then finish off with 20x2 with 45lbs fast reps after i've done my routine to get a nice burn in there.

Take it easy with pwo's etc. when starting on yohimbine , atleast for me it gave a pretty good spike to blood pressure when starting out on em.

Yohimbine HCL doesn't have side effects for me; I've taken 12.5mg before.

I'm apparently the Anxiety guy and Yohimbine HCL is said to make it worse but it didn't.

All while you have 200 pound guys thinking they're dying on 2.5mg lol.

Always thought Yohimbine was bro-science. Aware me on what kind to try, plz. Does brand matter? Stuff looks cheap from what I'm finding. $10 plus shipping for 90 capsules.



EDIT: Serp, ty for the giant 4-incher left in my CP via BellyBuster (BradKemp) It was much needed/appreciated.

Lyle McDonald specifically recommends y for cutting stubborn fat. It mobilizes stubborn fat when taken before cardio and done in a fasted state. Go to bodyrecomposition.com for more details. *he also goes into much greater detail in his book Stubborn Fat and UD2.0

I've perused that site before. There's a ton of info there. Do you by chance know which article he talks about y? His articles are long and I'm not sure which one to click? (srs)

The science mumbo jumbo part of it: Yohimbine acts upon the adrenergic receptor system of fat cells, which regulate thermogenesis. The beta-subunits of the adrenergic receptors (targets of Ephedrine) can be seen as stimulatory for fat loss as they increase the activity of the enzyme Adenyl Cyclase and subsequently cAMP levels (mainly via the b1 and b2 subunits; with b3 being less active in humans).[67][68] The alpha-subunits are more suppressive of fat metabolism, in which their activation reduces activity of Adenyl Cyclase and reduces cAMP levels (specifically alpha-2). Yohimbine is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist (inactivator) which inhibits activation of the suppressive set of receptors and preserves Adenyl Cyclase activity and the effects mediated via the beta receptors.

It basiclys makes you able to mobilizes the stubborn fat deposits as cnh said, does little effect on actual burning fat (gotta do that yourself by cardio etc.) but it supposedly helps get rid of fat in those hard to drop places that has high alpha receptors (blocks fat mobilization) but lets beta receptors do their work (boosts fat mobilization), like lower back and gut for men , hip/butt/thigh etc. for women. The initial heart rate increase (usually first 2 weeks) can boost metabolism slightly.

As for the effect of it the studies are not that numerous or great, for me i'd say it worked but if its down to low bf other places or the yohimbine is a unanswered question.
http://examine.com/supplements/Yohimbine/ has a somewhat detailed look into it.
