Brotherhood of Iron: Omega

Had to fight somebody outside a bar tonight, some 300 lb black guy got pissed off because somebody called him a faggot randomly and turns out he actually is a homosexual, so he was looking for a fight. While I was waiting for my cab he purposely ran into me and said " Don’t make me do what Im wanting to do" and shoved me. I let it go because I was with friend and didnt wanna fight. Well he walked up and shoved me in the wall about 5 minutes later so I had to jaw him, luckily he had a glass jaw so it didn’t go beyond that, but dammit this reminds me why I don’t like going to bars.

Bug, I did not pull.

Just looking for some insite and honesty here. When it comes to increasing certain lifts, it’d be impossible to go up 5 pounds for the same amount of reps every week. With that being said it can take mr a month to 6 weeks on certain exercises to bump up 5 pounds and keep the same reps, when it comes to me lifts. With that being the case the lift would increase 40-60 pounds per year and that seems pretty damn good.

The clearest example is my bench. I’ll start off with let’s say 340 pounds and keep nailing it for a double for as many weeks as it takes for me to hit a triple. Once the triple is completed I’ll bounce up to 345 and do the same. This can take some time.

I guess what trying to ask is about everyones progression. Obviously it’s not linear because there are times when my strength sky rockets and others when it stagnates but for the most part it’s pretty predictable.

Opinions, how are your gains?

Reading this thread has made me realize my gains are not what they should be(when I see the gains some of you are making). I spent the last 4 months doing Cressey’s Maximum Strength, since my goals are now strength related. I made good gains, sure, but I think an important part of progression is to try and max out(or stall) on a particular exercise before swapping it for another. Obviously when you introduce a new exercise, say Leg Presses, the first few weeks the weight will fly up, but eventually slow down as your body becomes efficient at the movement.

I don’t really know what your asking though, lol. MY gains are ok, but I’ve started doing DC last week which I’m pretty confident I’ll see some major progress on.

I ended up buying another tub of dark matter, 2 cans of animal pak and this stuff from muscle asylum shock therapy maybe?

I swear I made this post already but it’s been like 45 minutes and it hasn’t shown up so here’s hoping no double post inc. Anyhow, I took a couple pics, but I put them in my hub(which is private) because… I dunno that’s just the type of person I am.

I think I invited everyone that posts here often to friends so you can all see them though. It’s a front double bi, and 2 lat spreads(1 from today that is probably a better representation of my actual posing/look, and one from sometime last week that was like the only time I’ve ever been able to hit the pose properly for the camera).

The front double was taken maybe 5 minutes after I put down a meal, so that’s about as fat as I get, which may be about the only enviable trait I have because at 5’10 204 I look and lift like a person much lighter than that =/.[/quote]

You look pretty lean from the back, you can afford to eat more :stuck_out_tongue:

Good lat spread, keeping working on it. I can’t be bothered reading through the last thread, what’s your program like?

All these lat spreads have me thinking I am going to have to ask the girlfriend to take some photos so I can compare.

This is fun to hear.

Josh, thanks for kicking me in the ass about just doing FMC. This new city is beautiful. There’s so many different places to walk, in such a short amount of time. I only walked for about 30-35 min today, but there’s a part of this city where there are STEEP fucking hills (probably 40-50 degrees) so I decided to utilize those to make up for the short bout of cardio.

Diet is back on track 100%.

G-g-get it.

JeezJude JB you have the most exciting life. Chasig down thieves and knockig out 300 lb (of fatassness I’m assuming) black homosexuals. Lol

You don’t look too bad man, just need more size overall(don’t we all - lol). I would work on the back width though, which stands out in the front double bi, or maybe you need to learn how to flare them when hitting that pose as well? I looked kinda similar at 200, and only an inch taller.

Your room reminds me of mine, its like the only place to take a pic, but I have a huge bright ass fucking light right over my head which makes anything hard to see, doesn’t help being white as snow either.

So you just stand there curling and still pick up girls numbers. Didn’t you get another number when using a rowing machine or something last week as well? Man, fuck you. FML too.

You must be sexier then Bug…you guys should do a model off or something lol.

Yeah, I was pretty fat for about a year there, but it still boggles my mind how my waist got up to 43"… I didn’t even look fat in clothes, haha.
