Well, your post about your bodyweight was pretty depressing. You think the healthy eating was the cause? Not to be an ass, but I hope in the future you check up on your weight at least once a week. I’ve kind of thought this whole time that you’ve been getting weaker, but you also realized that and posted about it. What’s your plan now? [/quote]
I actually checked up on it again the other day and I was 233… so im not really sure what happened that day, maybe it was just water weight.
I don’t have a scale, so I try and use one as frequently as possible.
As far as my strength levels, im pretty sure it’s due to the way ive been training. When I was doing 5-3-1 and westside barbell, if I had two chest days it would really effect my strength. And since I have two now, with an extra back day, im sure that’s brought it down even more.
For right now im gonna stick to the way ive been training. If I dont see any decent kind of gains in the next 6 months im going back to powerlifting.

Holy crap, 18 lbs is a ridiculous fluctuation. I’ll keep being that outside eye and see if I can’t yield any insight since I’m not as close to the situation.

Here’s a picture of me at 6’3 240 pounds (last time I checked)
And here’s a pic of my right side. You can see how the right side of my chest is more developed. Im putting up the pics because my goal for 2011 is to make them proportional. And yes, im fat and proud.
Beyond the obvious bench hating how have things been going?

Our indoor squads been killing it, but we’re pretty much done now as far as championship meets go, NCAA’s are this fri/sat and then the outdoor season begins. I’ve been throwing quite a bit this winter, 2-3 days a week plus lifting 4 days a week. Its into a net though so i dont know how far they’re going. hopefully some of this damn snow will melt so i can go outside and let em fly
