You're looking huge ---- Would not want to cross!
You've done well with the soon to be Mrs. Sparky

reps 1,2,3 & 5 were ok, rep 4 was a little funky, knee felt weird during the 3rd rep, think this put me off for the last 2, but I'm claiming it. Standard overhand grip, no straps, belt, chalk etc. So stoked

Congrats on the PR. Lifts looked good

Awesome lifting Busta ... really strong on that pull and you're still looking lean and vascular

How much you weighing now?

Nothing short of Amazing Matt. The average public has no idea how hard that is (585 deadlift). But we do. Bravo!

That was a thing of beauty. Other than it looked like your head was going to asplode, you looked like you had 4 more of those in you.

Way to go man!! Major props!

**thnikkaman** · 02-08-2013, 07:56 AM

So I originally subscribed to this thread to motivate me as to what is possible. Thank you all for that.

Here is one of my sets this morning doing my 5 rep max. My form is definitely off due to the fact that my wife woke me up at 12:30 this morning for some wrassling. I know I can do these while keeping my hips under my back and not arching on the way up. I didn't feel like I was arching during this set, but my eyes don't lie. My goal is to share a similar video towards the end of summer with at least 3 plates, and less love handles.

The bar is too high on your neck causing you to lean forward. You are also bending down, before breaking at the hip.

**Bando** · 02-08-2013, 03:54 PM

My idea was to do a side by side of myself relaxed and after a heavy workout. As luck would have it I didn't get the pump I wanted, but it is what it is. Left shot is off day (yesterday) right shot is fresh out of my dungeon gym a little while ago.

Thanks. I'll adjust and see how that feels.

**stephanielynn76** · 02-08-2013, 05:06 PM

Always an inspiring thread!!!

Well my bulk officially ends today. Tomorrow I leave for Disney World!! Woot woot! The cut starts when I return.

End-of-bulk results... (more on my body space)

Oh... and a squat video... nothing impressive just doing my thang.

Nice work. Keeping the muscle and seeing more definition

**Vytis** · 02-09-2013, 12:41 PM

Bull, your back is thick!

Steph, 153 looks good on you - love that quad sweep.

Here are my legs. I'm throwing squats at them at least 3x/week. Not really growing like I hoped, but still lean and vascular. And yet I have a keg for abs...my body sucks....

**OutdoorsinCO** · 02-09-2013, 02:17 PM

I haven't been going crazy on my Squats because I'm still trying to make sure my forum is good.

Looking at it, looks like I could go deeper on it?

Sorry I don't know the embedded code for youtube

First and third look great for depth, you cut the second one off slightly above parallel.
You're doing better than 90% of the ppl at my gym

and to embed youtube you do this without the spaces in the brackets: [ youtube ]sLCPelNzRqI[ /youtube ]

You're looking great at 153. Strong quads and looking lean. Mirin' that biceps vein!

[QUOTE=stephanielynn76;1022983793]Oh... and a squat video... nothing impressive just doing my thang.

Looks impressive to me. Great form on those box squats and doing way better than me!

Good cutting Smelly ..... you're looking bigger and have loads more definition in your upper back and you can see your lat overhang! Massive physique!

Looking really big! Great upper body muscle mass and good cuts around those delts!

Your legs are cut and vascular and they look bigger than I remember them from last years' pics. It's hard to imagine you've got a 'keg' with that amount of definition!

^^^^^ done for you! Depth was OK but you looked to lose your lower back arch at the bottom of the squat
I disagree with Mal1ce though ---- better than 99% of squatters in the gym (at least my gym anyway)

Awesome stuff as always everyone. Thanks for sharing.

As I said in another thread, thickness throughout the back is excellent

Me an you can start a club

The lean leg with thick midsection club. Maybe we can get a group deal on lipo?

Very cool pic. Looks like something out of a magazine!

On a side note. I had a visitor today. One I had not seen in some time.

A freakin huge pump!

. WOW....I forgot what they are like. Have not had a decent one in 4 months (dieting). Today was not even a 'pump' workout, but I have been forcing in the carbs and it shows. (Today is 450g of carbs).

This almost felt freaky. Not quite biggest I ever saw...but at least I know I didnt shrink during my cut

**billb7581** · 02-11-2013, 03:21 PM

Not a weight room achievement, but I am pretty happy none the less

Back in November when I was diagnosed with type 2, my fasted blood glucose was 238 and my hemoglobin a1c was 10.8 (representing an average of 264!)

Got my labs back today, Fasted BG was 105 and my A1c was 6.3 (representing a 129 average)

HDL low
LDL OK
Cholesterol 155
Triglycerides 230 (but I have read that active fat loss influences this number)
