July, 2006: Some skinny jackoff makes a conceited post named “180 and bulking”. He promptly posts some skinny jackoff pictures that look like an emaciated braless girl. Typical.
He goes on to post such amazing lifts as a 135 squat, 190 deadlift, and a food log that includes less than 2000 calories. Advice turns to flames. Typical.
December, 2008: Some skinny jackoff makes another conceited post about looking down at a scale and seeing “250” staring up at him.
But he doesn’t care anymore. He cares more about pushing up that 335 squat, 405 deadlift, and more importantly, beating the God damned food log and hitting 6k again.
Thanks again, T-Nation. You rotten bunch of bastards make it impossible to fail.
Great job on the weight gain. You gained 80 pounds, something very few people can say. Now it’s time to get stronger and possibly even lean out a little bit. Your lifts are about average for someone <200 lbs, but they are still a big improvement from where you started. Mind sharing a bit about how you are training?
Who cares how much you can lift if your only goal is bodybuilding? I don’t even know my one rep max for any lifts. The closest maxes I know are 3-4 for most lifts because I rarely go below that amount of reps.
…as long as he looks like he wants to…

Because you get bigger by getting stronger in a moderate rep range (8-12 for example). If he is 250 lbs and his squat 1rm is only 335…how much of that 250 lbs is fat?

Different people will be a different size while lifting the same weight. I’m pretty weak in comparison to my weight, and not that much of it is fat. I just hit 200lbs and I’m only benching the 70lb dumbbells… just using that example because today was chest. I look a lot bigger than my friend who benches 100s though.
Anyways, congrats on the milestone and I wouldn’t worry about weight as long as it’s going up. What others lift doesn’t matter.
I would congratulate…BUT need to know bf first. I am currently about 210 lbs and could get to 250 in under a month(no kidding), but it would be MOSTLY fat! from my shit poor insulin sensitivity:(
who cares about bf % if you started out as a very skinny dood, that depends on sabastian525 goals. If your bulking I do believe in keeping it under control, but nobody gave Trey Brewer any crap when he was 330 fat ass pounds…that’s because he was 330 lbs! lol
Weight gained is phenominal. Good job man keep it up.
You are weak for your size so step it up…use the baby plates to make progress if you have to, then get to a point where your reppin 3 cadillacs on squats and deads with ease.
-bonus points if someone catches the bodybuilding lingo. lol
good job again man, keep up the work, build strength, grow and keep training hard.
