Oh yeah, Mario64 and Golden Eye are BY FAR the best 64 games.

To this day no game has blown me away visually the way Mario64 did. [/quote]

Mario64 was pretty epic. Jumping into paintings and shit? Yeah.[/quote]

Think I was 15 when it came out, and remember playing at my cousins house and being floored when Mario saw his own reflection in the metallic pool. Think I’m gonna hunt down and buy a 64 this weekend. Thanks ya’ll.

Greezy—You talkin’ smack?! ADo you remember the super nintendo Mario? Beyonce impression Papa lemme upgradeja.

Flasher—you are about to have the most happenin entertainment center on earf. You are welcome.

I still, to this day, do the occasional speed-run of Mario 64 or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Two games that will stand the test of time.

Mario64 was so epic. I loved the lava level, jumping on the shell, and surfing around pwning noobs. Will reply to you guys individually later, just gonna jot down the workout before heading to work.

Went pretty well overall. My standing OHP is abysmal once it gets “heavy” (185 and up). Core is weak and my technique sucks, so hopefully in a few weeks/months this will go up significantly.

AquaCruzer was there with me, also OHPing and doing other fun stuff. He’s looking thicker every time I see him! Amazin.

Warmup, stretch, foam roll, etc. 15 min.

Standing military
bar x 10, 10
95 x 5, 5
135 x 5
155 x 3

185 x 7, rest 90s, 4, rest 90s, 3. I really really really wanted to get to 10 on the first set, but looks like I’m not quite there yet. Not terrible though. 225 x 5 in the near future would be awesomesauce.

135 x 5 paused

Seated DB bent-over lateral / front raises / press TRI-SET O’ DEATH (low rest) - forearms get so pumped lol
20 x 15 / 12 / 15
25 x 15 / 10 / 15
30 x 12 / 8 / 15
40 x 8 / 6 / 12

Meadows hanging DB partials - a lil diff than I usually do them. Staggered stance, quasi bent over, trying to rail the rear deltoidz. Success. Also, no straps because I need to work my grip like 24/7.
65s x 20, 20, 15

Face pulls
#8 x 15, 15
#10 x 15, 12

Fatman rows - bodyweight rows, feet elevated. Wide grip
bw x ~15, ~12, ~9

Barbell shrugs + barbell holds - after each set, held on for a while
135 x 10 + long hold
225 x 10 + long hold
315 x 10 + couldnt hold long, olol.
405 x 10 - strapped.
135 x 90sec hold

Then I did 4 sets or so of seated calves while Cruz told me about his new sexy training style.

Dazzit.

The fuck is a fatman row ?

I’m definitely getting up to 260-270 this “bulk season”, maybe get a 600-700 DL :D, will I still get to hang out with you and the cool guys once I become Bill Kazmeier like ?

Bug could now realistically one day bench 500 raw. Jus’ sayin’. Must be fun to train with true PLers all hardcore though!

He’ll have to be at least 250 to do that

700 DL would be sicknasty INSANE, Delta. DO IT. I will be happy to pull 6+ in the near future.

Jake, I hope so man! I feel like if there is one lift I could excel at with proper training and whatnot, bench would be it.

Had a quick 45 min arms session tonight. I had something planned but totally diverged from it and did more than I should have, lol. oh well.

Rope pressdowns / Meadows hammer curls SS
idk x 15 / 15s x 15

185 x 6 / 70 x 6
225 x 6 / 100 x 6

idk x 10 / 30 x 10 LR

just kinda had fun with it. Didn’t do anything for long head really which was dumb, but w/e. Bought a lot of clothes today for work, pretty pumped.

Bout to eat a bunch, relax, and enjoy some wine. <3

Yeah that bloated soft feeling is the worst, but i never remember how bad it is until after i murder a pizza hut buffet and the waitresses minus the waitresses

How is it possible to have so much sexiness in one thread? How?

Well let me tell you, I pray to my Paper Mache replica of AshyLarryKu, summon the AL Deity, and go do HFS perfect form pressin’ until I’m 400lbs of lean muscle.

So 4 consec days of shitty eating, didn’t lift yesterday due to an impromptu happy hour with old coworkers that went 4 hours… that was dumb. A bit hungover this morning. Ate well today, and felt good going into this session, but idk, my deads are sucking balls. I know I haven’t been pulling off the floor so I shouldn’t expect much, but I struggled to pull 5 plates. Ugh. w/e w/e. Good session regardless.

Back / hammies / bicepz

Warmup - 15 min

Deadlifts - seeing how I’m doing strapless. Tried to incorporate Carlos’ tips, but eh, need much more coaching. Mixed grip, which is still super weak.
135 x 5 - flew up
225 x 5 - flew up
315 x 3 - fast
405 x 2 - this is where my grip starts to give me problems, lollercoaster
455 x 1 - rep was smooth, but it almost slipped out of my hands the whole time
495 x 1 - straps - was very slow the first 3-4 inches, then flew up. Gay. Very disappointed.

Wide-grip pulldowns
100 x 15
130 x 15
170 x 12
— work sets had some engish to the chest, then 5-8 sec negative
220 x 8
250 x 6 drop 100 x a bunch

Rack pulls - from bottom of knee cap. Pulling felt very weak.
225 x 5
315 x 5
405 x 5
495 x 3 - stopped there

Close-grip cable rows (2 sec squeeze, slow neg) / rack pulls SS
10 reps / 405 x 3
8 reps / 455 x 3
10 reps / 495 x 3

Boom, done.

You are maybe the only guy I know who complains at a near 500dl despite not really training from the ground.

conventional or sumo?

Dasher - sorry I’m not your quadzilla training partner who puts up 675 x 6-15.

Dicksee - conventional obvi. I’m not a cheater!

Hams are WRECKED. Back too.

So this last week or so, I’ve been spending a lot of time shopping since I pretty much have to build my professional wardrobe from scratch. I also realized I know very little about men’s fashion, especially when it comes to nicer clothing, so I’ve been spending some time learning about that (just like I started reading T-Nation 4 years ago). Nice clothes is nice.

Anyways, I’ve been to many diff stores and tried/bought/returned many diff dress shirts, and I just can’t find something I like better than these Nordstrom house brand business shirts. The fit, the material, etc, looks great IMO, especially since I’ll be 90% of the time business casual so I won’t have a suit/tie.

And since I haven’t posted new pics in awhile, here are a couple back shots. Quite bloated today from eating a bag of Reeses cups… lol FML. going to the grocery store while ravenous is a BAAAAD idea.

PS: Nice work Bug, so when are you going to do your first meet?

I’ve clearly stopped by your log at an appropriate time! yay!

You look quite handsome in your biz-cas attire, Bug. And I totally advise you to take your shirt off at the office at all times. You’ll thank me later. Also, FWIW, Greg started a thread about pants in GAL just a few days ago. Something about his thighs rubbing together shrug

Anyways, nice training and Happy Birthday!!

And oh my gosh, your room is a freaking mess!
