Kind of funny, you know back in the day when we all had our growth spurts how your body would misjudge it’s ability to fit through spaces? Like I would always stub my toe on the door frame or just walk into it with my shoulder when I fully expected to make it through.

Happens with the sauce too, I keep ramming my shoulder into door frames lol.[/quote]

Hahaha… awesome. So you’re saying you’re too big to fit through doors now? :slight_smile:

Yes, unless I can smell blood. I always either get some anxiety, or I’m just pissed off and ready to tear someone’s ass in two.

But yeah, no matter what happens, my heart is always beating really fast. I usually (before Rack Pulls as well) stop and take 5-10 really deep, slow breaths just to slow it down and focus a bit.

Prs DL 425 x 3

weighted Chins 260 + 72.5 x 3

Good work on the DL

Thanks dude. Let me rant on why i could have hit more.

So I have this friend at work, it’s a female friend and we get along well, she’s a very flirtatious young lady even though she has a boyfriend. I would consider her one of my best friends at work.

Well I guess she doesn’t feel the same because after a night at work which I felt to be a normal night, I get a phone call in between sets of deadlifts and it’s my manager. She starts off with “I don’t know what the fuck you are doing to said girl, but you need to quit harrassing her and I will not stand for you putting her down.” Granted my manager is a girl because any dude talking to me like that manage or not would be picking a serious fist fight. She goes on to say I’m lazy and don’t give a fuck about best buy. Supposely the girl called her and told her I was an asshole and lazy.

My retarded manager, who does not know here thumb from her ass, would only listen to the girls side. I was in shock because it was a normal evening. The girl was happy and flirty and then calls the boss to tell her I’m lazy. I’m thinking this bitch wants the dick but knows I won’t give it to her so she’s mad.

She even bought me dinner last night… WTF what a psycho and how fucking dare you interupt my DL session Because you’re a sympathetic bitch on her period I even skipped rows because I was so so angry. Fuck.

Just pick that bitch up by the panties and one arm row her.

My posts are taking like 5 hours to go through…seriously wtf.[/quote]

@ 5 Hours I’d say yours are posting pretty quickly… It took about 9 hours for mine to register…

It seems like it does that every day too. Fucking opposite time zone!

Austin: Sounds like you need to put it in that chicks pooper! Just bend her over the “on sale” dvd rack and break one off in her!

Might as well put up my progress so far, since Ramadan is on Saturday and my bulking will stop for a few weeks

I’ve been lifting ever since I’ve been in fifth grade, but this summer is the first time I’m actually making good progress

I started my bulk on 6/15…at the beginning my lifts were

Deadlift: 315x1
Bench press: 180x1
db row: 70x10
High incline seated press:130x1

Bodyweight: 165 pounds

And now my lifts are

Deadlift: 385x1, absolutely positive i could get 405, 385 is like 95% of my max
Bench press: 205x2…could’ve progressed much more but I stupidly kept sticking with very low reps the whole summer and this is the first time I’m actually training triceps and shoulders consistently
db row:105x10
High incline seated press: 155x5

Bodyweight now: 210 pounds

Arms went from 13.75 inches to a little over 15.25 inches
legs went from a little less than 26 inches to a little less than 28

Those were the only measurements i took at the beginning

I have gotten some stretch marks on my arms and a little on my legs

I spent a lot of time reading everything by Professor X Cephalic_Carnage Waylanderxx and MODOK and have gained a lot of knowledge from them. Thank you all for helping me so much and thank you Austin for critiquing my routine. This is just the beginning though. One Ramadan ends I will continue to bulk.

165-210 in about 2 months?! Am I reading that wrong? 45 pounds in a little over 2 months…

Does that seem a little excessive to anyone else but me?

If it’s a clean 45 pounds then good on you. But I’d like to see some pic’s of this 45 pounds. No homo.

Good progress on your lifts though.

Yeah it does sound pretty ridiculous…I’ve never seen anyone put on that much weight that fast and it not be a LOT of fat gain. I’d like to see some pics too.[/quote]

I’ll try to get pictures up if i can figure out how to use my camera. I was kinda underweight and went from eating twice a day to eating 6-8 times a day. Everyone who hasn’t seen me since june is really surprised when they see me. I’ll try to get pictures up later.

I worked at best buy in high school, it is EXTREMELY easy to have managers and supervisors fired, we did it all the time, just give it some thought.

Yeah man get some up when you can before/after if possible…not tryin to hate on it at all. That’s some ridiculous progress and beyond impressive if the gains are even like 50/50.

586

Oh yeah and WTF is with the BOI posts taking forever? Like every other thread works fine but this one is fucked…I swear something goes wrong with every one GB starts!

587

My posts sometimes take a bit as well. What also pisses me off is that i’ll see on the main BB page that someone has posted something in this thread, so I click on latest post but that person’s post hasn’t gone through yet. Really annoying

Josh: my forearms aren’t really that big I don’t think. I’m gonna chalk the pic up to 1) before I started leaning out a bit and 2) just one of those instances where a certain pose/pic can make people look bigger than they are.

I haven’t really put much focus on my forearms, except that I did DC for a year so I had one set every few days. I noticed my brachialis really popped up during this time.

@ Austin

why did u have your phone on you when you working out? thats a cardinal sin!

I’ve always been a fan of hammer curls and reverse curls and such…have always had at least one of them in my routines and I still think my forearms suck. And I can alt hammer curl the 85s for 10+ reps per side. So I dunno wtf. Think I’m gunna stop upping weight and focus on form/contraction.

My phone is what I use for my music, always streaming music from Pandora or picking a specific song on youtube to pump me up…and nothing fucks my shit up worse than getting a phone call during a set because it cuts my music off. Most people know to never call me around the time I’m training tho so it rarely happens.

I did my deadlifts at home actually cause the gym was going to b closed by the time I got their. So with that being said I had my phone in my room. Plus like Josh I use pandora and my phone is an iPod too.

About my manager and this girl. Well I talked to a co worker and he said that what happend was rediculous so I have some people
on my side that will help me if it comes to me being accused of things I didn’t do. We’ll see, but i can’t affor to lose my job.

597

i went to the gym today

did 185x9 on the incline

felt embarassed

did a set of machine dips and a set of curls then went home. and im actually sore. ew

598

my god, it’s amazing I had to basically recruit the BOI into the Matsm21 thread in order to straighten everyone out.

599

So one of my buddies at work is friends with this Vietnamese girl that works in our office, and she calls me “Scary looking” (which I’m perfectly ok with lol)…and today she made some amazing tasting beef to go with her rice and such and she was like “Ohhh try some, tell me if you like it”, so I ate some and I liked it…so then she gave me a bunch of it…and I had already cooked my ground beef + shredded cheese. So today’s lunch was extra large, and damn it felt good to eat all that beef. Mmmmm!
