Hope to bring some working out discussions to the table (Videos/Picture thread)

Checking in.

I'm still plugging away and as white as Elmers Glue.

I think I got me some wheels, not bad for not even squatting 200# more than a handful of times in the last year.

I know I need work everywhere but I really need some side delt work, so I'm starting wider grip overhead work for quick rep not going full ROM at least every other day, We'll see.....

Attaway, brother wolf. Solid progress. Now get yurself outside in the light of day 4d solar gainz!

My fitness and physical conditioning protocols are all on point, butt couldn't be bothered taking pics. Mabe later in the summer.

and I've all butt given up on ever seeing that damn wall primed and painted. Actually adds to the "under construction" vibe u b rocking.

Curls today - 76# x 40reps (up 1# from last month on these).

@lww is still in the grind I see. I went and got the tan for him! Checking back in. Was at the beach for a week. Amazing the progress a little tan will do for you. I missed the mark a bit, but not too terrible.

Just chillin here. Lots of distractions but still making it in. Dont really ever have anything changes. Just gain a bit of fat and lose some. But after being at the beach for a week, I dont feel bad for being 50. I think I ate enough dairy queen to last a lifetime. Like 5 nights in a row w/ blizzards. But that is what is great. Go a little nuts, and pull back in and keep going.

Looking good ID.

Buncha kids in the gym Monday and I let my ego get the better of me, did BB BP 245 x 8 without struggling much. Now my wrists, elbow & shoulder are all sore. All for a few oohs and ahh's and one Holy Chit! Not worth it for a little bit of gym glory.

Being sore is fine with me. It’s the potential disk issues that aren’t worth it to me.

It seems lately every time I push it on Dead’s I get what I know is disk or sciatica issues for a week or longer.

It also aggravates a pinch in my glute area I got years ago when I foolishly was dead lifting heavy too often. And had stopped squatting my dead’s (squatting my dead’s was working well for me when going heavy).

I been going really light lately and doing RDLs instead.

This isnt the type of pain where lifting itself hurts it, it’s when your done, you either can’t sit for or lay down without being super uncomfortable or feels like you got a sprain in the ankle when walking.

That chit isn’t worth a damn.

Nice work. I understand the aftermath pain that isn't DOMS! I had a decent bench in my day. Now, I really can't even do them (shoulders)

Lookin' good LWW. ID...stud. I'm at my decent weight of 240. 230 would look better if I could keep the muscle. I'm not great in the kitchen.

Getting an MRI, they're thinking torn rotator cuff, good times - not.

take it as your chance to build legs.

it is just a rotator cuff, people get cancer, you know.

There is a lot of good books to read while you are healing.

Trying to say something uplifting. There is not much, it sucks, setback for a year, if diagnosis confirmed.

[Bando]

Can't squat without being able to reach back and hold the BB... but actually, there is one of those weird barbells with the handles in my gym that no one ever uses, could likely use that. But it doesn't fit in the rack I bet.

My concern with shoulder surgery is with scarring. I currently have a great tan, shoulders are full, no gut and arms look great, in a tank top I get looked at wherever I go. Also wanted to put a tattoo on that shoulder this winter.

Sounds vain but this is or was a bodybuilding site at some point.

I wouldn't worry too bad about the scarring. I also am pretty vain about my tan and provided you get dark enough each summer--you can really fade out a scar.

I'd honestly be more worried about the effectiveness of the surgery itself (if you go that route). I'm sure you've heard the stories on here from people like BH who went ahead with their shoulder surgeries and regretted it afterwards, right? Maybe your surgery is more of the cut and dry/straight forward variety though. I would think you have multiple things going on in there given all your years under the bar though. That's why a lot of shoulder surgeries don't fix eveverything.

Safety squat bar, the purpose of them is due to the bad shoulders.

How do they look at you? Do they think you look pretty or scary?

I prefer ugly muscles!

I can live with it as is but would rather not be that guy who's always griping about his shoulder, I'm not great with pain.

The Surgeon would be the guy who fixed my knee last year, that is 100% better.

[LWW]

Checking in at 188# BW, at least I was over the weekend.

The waist is where I want it, now need to keep adding mass and keep the waist there.

I have no clue how to pose, nor do I care, I'm into building muscle and body buiding, but I don't care about most bodybuilding related things.

[ChazWood]

LoneWolf Dude, you look fuking great and have made outstanding progress in the last few years.

Now I'm thinking mabe you should paint that wall black. The LoneWolf Den, baby! haha!

Who we gon fat shame now?

I reckon the ones who need harsh butt constructive fat shaming aren't posting pics so they can't be singled out from the herd.

Unless u got any intelligence. I mean intel.

[LWW]

Don’t worry, I’m aiming to get fat bulburous saucy size gains, and there will be fatness, no strides, but also NO gut.

Painting it black backdrop idea is a good idea which will enhance my Elmer’s whiteness.

Training I’m the wolf den, I like it! Or the roosters nest!

5 minute Youtube posing video tutorial and evening out that Farmer's tan would give you a lot more cred here.

You say "nor do I care" but that's a lie.

[weiss1967]

Sounds vain but ...

it does not. I used to think like LW, but the more I see great pieces of work walking streets, the more I appreciate it. I still remember one female bodybuilder in a store, just a few seconds left impression forever. Dark tan, great proportions, muscle definition, she must have been ifbb pro. This is a beauty of the world, people are part of it.

[LWW]

No it’s not, I think strides, thin skin oil, tan and striking poses and dancing on a stage is the stupidest thing. Would never even go to watch such a thing no matter how big someone is.

The only bber I ever actually liked is Scott Steiner and he is not even close to what a pro looks like.

The reason why I liked Scott is because he has the true athlete build, Mike Tyson is another.

Pretty looking pecs are silly to me, I like scary muscle.

[LWW]

I liked Billy Graham, the wrestler too.

I’m not talking when did worlds strongest man, he wa too fat there.

He had a massive build with a small waist, I think he may of done a show or two but IDK, I have no interest in seeing him doing that. I’d rather just see wrestling gear on and a double bicep shot.

I think you may be wrong about thinking like me?

I like the freak show dude I don’t care about this Beauty talk though dude.

I saw a chick the other day at the store too, she had a back that was jacked and I was impressed I’m not so sure about the man pecs though but oh well she was a freak, so cool!!!

But it wasn’t beauty, it was freaky and I like that.

I prefer though to be freaky and natural I know many work harder than me, if I had more time I’d train more, so I don’t judge.

[LWW]

You guys know who Rich Piana was?

I don’t like the look that he became, that’s more of a mutant look.

However his early days I liked him.

I don’t agree with the chemical assistance but I totally appreciate his honesty, the dude was straight up on what he was doing.

Also as I discovered that working the same muscles daily works is how I found out Rich figured that out too.

The guy really did train more and harder than most.

He once talked about, “if you believe it will work, you will make that happen” and that’s 100 percent!

He also said that there is no overtraining, there under eating and while maybe he said recovery, well if you looked at his training he wasn’t recovering, he was EATING to TRAIN MORE! The food was fuel period!

[LWW]

Look at the gains BABY!!!

I'm pumped now fellas, whos calling me a bagel boy, more like bagel horse in the making. Need trap work though and that is happening.

Sure BF is up a tad, but the mid-section is small and I'm BIGGER!!! Don't see any stalls coming up, except this colon chit.

[LWW]

Update from today.

Some mass coming in and some shoulder and upper traps-

[induced_drag]

Hope LWW still at it. I am still doing same old thing... Nothing to write home about, but still going!

[LWW]

Hope LWW still at it.

Yes sir!

6-7 days a week. A shoulder movement almost daily and a dead lift variation almost daily. Arms/lats/traps/legs inbetween. I'm focused on these shoulders, they are the "key" to filling out the shirt, the rear delts put the "peak" in the lats.

My back feels better than it's been for the last 5years by rotating every angle on a dead lift variation every session almost.

I'm also approaching 200# BW, yes there is fat, but not even close to the pillow belly I had before. All it takes is a couple days of reducing some calories and extra high rep squats and I'm leaner again. I'm shooting for MASS now, not strongman/powerlifting belly mass, but off-season BB'er MASS!

Behind the back dead - 410 EASY!!!

Watch the form, positioning equals the weight moves quick. This is a PR and there will be more, think I'll start uploading my dead lifts here-

Glamtera, good stuff. Might be my favorite Dime solo.

Nice lift as well.
