July '14 Photo/Video Check-In

Bird - Thanks man.

I have a training log I just started if you want to check it out.

I cannot diet for shit. I’m born to be a fat bastard. I basically try to out train a shitty diet. At the beginning of my log I documented a diet that last about a week - lol.

I’m pretty much the opposite of a hard gainer. I fucked around with a million programs but for the past year and a half, I primarily have stuck to full body, compound lifts. I do little to no isolation stuff except curls (guns baby). I alternate between heavy days and volume days. I basically do 6 lifts, bench (incline / flat), squat, deadlifts, standing OHP, clean and press, curls, and farmers walks. Farmers walks are my favorite by the way - with a trap bar. I do some conditioning work with medicine balls and the rowing machine for cardio because I hate running and treadmills. I also throw a log around in my yard - just put a pic of it in my training log.

I try to eat clean but have my far share of pizza and wings. Beer is my nemisis but I can’t give it up. I try to limit it but my definition of limit is not in line with accepted guidelines of not being a binge drinker. Gotta have your vices I guess.

I cannot get the unpress and uncurl part down. I may get a trainer to help.

Since I’m tanned at the moment you guys get to see me scowl at my own reflection :slight_smile: 6’ 220lbs on the way down to 200lbs. And yes, I did try to tan the Bat symbol into my leg :wink:

I guess I should atone for my earlier pic.

Will do so by posting progress pics of my gf at her first Physique contest this past May.[/quote]
Tell her to get a star tattooed on her back to go on top of that Christmas tree lol. Great work by her.

Super great job.

Love these threads every time they roll around. So many awesome physiques and hard work manifested.

Awesome job everyone!

After making a push to an all-time bodyweight high of 201, I’m now shooting to get leaner than I’ve ever been by the time we go to Cancun in October to celebrate the 40th birthdays.

Do you like deadlifting in romaleos? I have been thinking about trying it.[/quote]

I wouldn’t say I like or dislike them, but I think they’re fine. I don’t notice much of a difference between the Romaleos, Vibrams, or Chucks when deadlifting to be honest.

You have to be able to down a mixture of MAG-10 and Superfood to be a level 10…
