Arnolds back double bi was just devastating. Wills were crushed.

"My delotid is bigger than your whole body, now get to the choppa"

yeah his biceps were exceptional. He definitely was training them right. He probably was more educated about the makeup of the bicep than those at the time too.

[stingray72]

Heres francos biceps. No slouch either....

Chewing ? Ain't got no time for that, gotta get them calories in fast before my body notices.

Probably due a weight spike at some point, would be nice to reach a higher weight than last years bulk (250-254). Looks so much cooler when you ditch the large amount of weight for the summer shred
Not looking too good though, only 1 month of bulking left.

Eta: But in all seriousness, it is kinda weird. From research our bodies ability to defend against overfeeding (homeostasis) is suppose to stop after prolonged overfeeding. So why the hell does mine increase ?
And where the hell was it back when I got obese ?!

eta: back when I got fat obese that is, not beast obese

How fast do you gain weight per week usually?

[Znik]

How fast do you gain weight per week usually?

1-2lbs. Probably 1.5lb on average.

[stingray72]

1-2lbs. Probably 1.5lb on average.

wow you dont play around. Im curious how do you feel when you bulk? (do you feel better)

[Znik]

Depends on what you mean by how I feel, I mostly just feel stuffed all the time.

Id consider that not feeling good. When I ate like that which was about 2000 calories daily I felt that way and hated it. (I eat at 1800 now and it looks like im still slowly dropping weight) Id like to achieve the kind of mass you have but not if I have to force feed.

Robert, you'd be proud of me. I really wanted to rip somebody a new one, but I refrained. I took the high road once again. So effing high, I'm dying a little inside every minute as I sit here.

I started the day listening to sugar pop, but I am ending it with Slayer.

Must have been channeling your rage with the RATM. Haha, was just thinking about some Slayer tonight. Now if I could just get the same connectivity to the next lotto numbers


Some days I think the only reason they pay me is not to go full potato on people. Deep breath s

I've seen this stuff before but thought it was some shredded balsa wood or something. Looked closer today as it was on sale. It's just cinnamon shredded wheat. Taste test reveals impending high carb day nirvana.

I pre-made waffles (and bacon too) this weekend, That's what I'm having for dessert every night this week. Ohh and you just reminded me I have Reese's Puffs in the garage.


***********************


I'm in a much better mood now. I am excite! If everything goes as planned, I am climbing Mount Whitney at the end of September!!! The group leader is starting to send out planning messages.

[EjnarKolinkar]

That's awesome barb. My dad went to top, but sadly bad weather came in, lots of clouds and view was not as good as he hoped for. The two guys he was hiking with both got ill from altitude sickness because they were clowns.

Heh, still remember my dad wearing his Vasque's around the neighborhood for walks every evening to get them broken back in. And then taking longer walks with his pack. He went with an old aluminium boy scout pack. Baller/10

I'm jealous for real, all your and mlj's pics remind me of home.

That's awesome. How old was your dad when he did it? This trip is going to be all 22-miles in one day, but at a slow pace. I don't need to carry a big, heavy pack. I need to figure out shoes though. I have light mountaineering boots, but I don't know if they'd be right for this. I am planning to camp at the Portal to help acclimate to the altitude. I could stay at a motel in the nearest town, but it's 4000 feet lower. I think I can handle camping for one night.

There's still room to join in, Robert. Let me know if you're interested.

[caprica6]

ahh

this is so gross. wine with my pb greek yogurt concoction.

i was probably under maintenance, then i decided to have some wine. the wine decided to have chips

Tfw you ask friends and family to join you on a hike to celebrate upcoming birthday, but they all would rather just go to a restaurant and eat.

your day. should be your plans. this is an outrage.

Was going to type a belligerent comment in response to csb, but luckily for him, cap came in with her feel-good / positive post, so I have calmed significantly by the time I made it to this message box. Thank her, she saved you.

@Cap, I have considered cognitive behavioral therapy...but I am too cheap + w/o insurance for that. So I am starting the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program from U of Mass (free) - http://palousemindfulness.com/selfguidedMBSR.html. I keep saying that I want to meditate on the regular so hoping this will help!.

lol i think i'm going to throw up. only b/c my stomach doesn't like this combo.

just doing my job, M'lady. and thank you for the link. you're always so generaous.

Thank you Cap6 for saving me from an angry tirade from MLJ. After I submitted the post where I mocked her proclevity for buying into conpiracy theories, I immediately became turrified of the consequences. I followed up with the speed rapper insult only to distract her.

My lips are stil quivering.

I might someday forgive you for that Katy Perry video.

oh the peacock sign.

i was going to defend her b/c i like her

cutting that

I've liked gaga less and less each year. I didn't think she sounded terrible. I was surprised she hit the higher notes well. And as Robert said, kudos to her for taking on Julie Andrews classics. I agree though, it was the fake British accent and the other weird affectations I didn't like.
Irt to the IF discussion, I've been told to wean of caffeine. It's much harder now to wait until 3pm to eat, and I feel so sluggish.

yes yes. 70% inauthentic.

[barbrox]

What the ninja edit! Lol, Cap, I was going to ask you to elaborate.

[csb5731]

I missed something apparently.

Edit: Cap6 if you pull punches ur a pansy.

I have learned from one of my most specialist of friends that Linda Rondstadt singing Mexican is the key to relaxation.

My mom is five foot even. She has a really long fuse, but when she goes off it's scary as hell.

Yep it sucks, which is why I consume most of my calories in the evening and just snack on cookies n stuff during the day.
Oh and in terms of my inability to gaining, I've noticed something. I am like constantly twitching, bouncing my legs especially when I sit at the computer, it feels uncomfortable if I don't do it and try to consciously stop.


Oh and for Muzziechick and the ladies in general.

To put that in perspective, 900 calories per day is equivalent to about an hour and a half of hard exercise. That’s a ton of calories burned through nothing but fidgeting. Unfortunately, it also looks like NEAT is genetically determined; either you upregulate NEAT during overfeeding or you don’t. One more thing, in this particular study, women consistently had the smallest NEAT response.

In addition, it looks like the capacity to increase NEAT is tied to the adaptive downregulation of metabolism during dieting. One study found that the same people who were best able to increase metabolism during overfeeding had the smallest drop in metabolic rate during dieting and vice versa; the folks who’s metabolism went up the least during overfeeding had the biggest drop in metabolic rate during dieting.

Researchers referred to this as ‘spendthrift’ (store excess calories poorly, lose weight easily) and ‘thrifty’ (store excess calories easily, lose weight poorly) phenotypes. We might call them the genetically blessed and the genetically ****ed. The latter individuals not only have the hardest time losing fat because their metabolisms crash the hardest and fastest, they will tend to store fat the most readily.

[csb5731]

Any big plans for the year, CSB?

Spend a week in AZ, hopefully a week or so in Maui, maybe visit a friend Plano, learn Python and maybe some Java, start kayaking/sea-kayaking and/or learn how to sail. Expand my volunteering. If I decide to move to a house (I kind of like the no responsibility and cheapness of my current place), get a dog. My guppy, Jerome, died last week. His replacement, Ragnar the cichlid, will hopefully be as long or longer-lived. But a fish is a ppoor substitute for a dog.

[caprica6]

^ i like it rip, guppy

i posted this list of activities for someone. i'm gonna keep the list somewhere for myself also

warning - long
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...post1342383931


i'll get back to you, Barb and CSB.


...

i'm about a week away from being able to take belly pics again. fingers crossed. my progress report yesterday:

i weighed 130.5 yesterday and today and now i'm focusing hard on 129. the gym here is pretty much like a small hotel gym but it's convenient, it has a really nice view and it gives me an opportunity to meet some of the people who live in this development. i'll stick with it for a while to keep costs down... today i did full body with the cable weight and a few other machines that they have here. over the last few days i've done about 15 miles of L/MISS.

Bro its clear you think you are eating more than you are. Calories in calories out. You need to weigh all those cookies

[Znik]

Bro its clear you think you are eating more than you are. Calories in calories out. You need to weigh all those cookies

It is possible since I don't track and only estimate Last few weeks from rough estimate is: 600-800kcal worth of protein bars (luuuv em), 600-800 from cookies, dinners around 2000 (saaaauuuceee and calorie dense side dishes ftw) around 1k from my big bowl of cereal and full fat milk with protein powder and I'd guess 500-1k on top of that from ice cream,cake, candy, chips,chocolate etc.
and some days I have 4-8 eggs, 4-6 slices of bread (with butter,mayo, tons of meat, pb, chocolate spread etc.)big glass of milk and juice for breakfast and still eat everything else.

Oooo and 1-4 cans of sugary monster.

Pretty much my daily consumption, if dinners are lean meats etc. I add stuff like deep fried jalapeno poppers, chili cheese, onion rings etc.

I am going to order some gainer shakes, I seriously cannot eat more food.

[Ammex]

Oooo and 1-4 cans of sugary monster.

My stock portfolio thanks you

Hah, hes alive.
Me and my mate probably have an unhealthy amount of monster daily.

Ya, fish don't jump for joy when you come home. That all sounds awesome, CSB. Good luck!

Ive been thinking about trying out rowing somewhere when it is warm outside again but im not sure where i can find a place around here.

I think he was 30. Good to have a nice camp out and get settled a bit. Sounds like your group knows what's up, and it's super you are spending a day in portal to transition. 22 miles in 18 hrs, pepper thy feet barb

The leader has done it twice already, so he's giving a lot of practical advice. The hike starts at midnight. Watching the sun rise will be amazing. I'm not worried about my feet, but my knees are another story. I'll be bringing knee straps and a Costco-sized bottle of Advil.


*****************************

I really want to go out walking tonight, but a woman was attacked this morning while she was running on one of the local trails. She fought him off, and the guy ran towards my neighborhood. The police are still searching for him. I think I'll just stay in.
