You need to bulk.

Does his name remind anyone else of “Johnny Cakes” from this past season of The Sopranos?

I bet JimmyLegs loves Johnny Cakes.

A few more years of clean-bulking and I’ll switch to a more pure refinement-routine, as outlined by Lyle.

Or go on the SAUCE, baby!

How big are you now and how big does this primitive calculator say you can get?

That calculator is stupid as hell.

It told me that my maximum lean body mass is 203.7 pounds at 8%BF, which is 187.5 pounds lean mass. Right now I’m 240 with an unknown, but high bodyfat. Even if I use a figure of 25% I’m at 184 pounds LBM right now. This is as much muscular size as I can ever gain? Bullshit.

If this shit were true, most big guys would perpetually be light weights because they would have started cutting to attain their “predicted maximum lean body mass”.

All this bodymetrics stuff is bullshit and you should be beat with a bag of valencia oranges for believing it.

Get real.

This is one of the best statements I’ve ever read on T-Nation.

Further, I know that you didn’t write that to please me or anyone else and for that, I thank you.

How about Mr. February? Afterall, it IS the ‘short’ month.

Bullshit. Please post the federation you lifted in and comp you attended.

The whole thing about you genetic limit is shit to. Your just putting a ceiling on yourself.

Lyle isn’t a Goth. He’s a speed skater.

Don’t be a hater.

A lot of powerlifters are Goths. I learned that at my meet. Maybe that’s what you’re confusing it with. But like I said, Lyle is a skater, not a goth powerlifter.

Ryan Kelleny and his wife Kara Bonanan are the two most famous Goth powerlifters. Probably the strongest Goth couple in the United States.

bullshit man. No way you’re doing these poundages with your body type.

This must be a joke.

I am laughing so hard tears are coming to my eyes.

Note that jimmylegs is, in fact, an impostor.

Jimmylegs is taking progress shots out of context and asking if he should ‘bulk’ or ‘cut’ to intentionally get flamed. He’s one of the users on Lyle’s forum, though I’m not precisely sure which.

Regardless, understand that jimmylegs is trying to start shit on purpose. Weirdly, everyone assumed that he couldn’t possibly be anything but serious/genuine. Which is pretty wild.

She’s not talking about being a Goth big (little?) guy.

For the record, as per the original discussion:

www.bodyrecomposition.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16299

It was about a calculator (based on some real data) that predicted maximum LEAN muscular mass and measurements.

If you go higher in bodyfat%, the calculator would no longer function and the predictions would be wildly off.

Put differently, it asks the question:

“How much muscle can you NATURALLY hold with ~8% bodyfat?”

It attempts to answer that question using wrist and ankle circumference as well as height.

It’s a bit of a crapshoot, but it doesn’t do an entirely bad job. Google ‘Casey Butts’ and look at a similar formula applied to many great physiques of the past.
