Love it.
For real, though, I won’t be taking part in anything like the T-ransformation for a long, long time.
You’re slowly but surely catching up to me in weight. How tall are you again?
I am 173 cm (this I know for sure), which is five feet and nine inches (I’m pretty sure). What about you @Koestrizer
188 cm which would probably be 6’2" (?)
Sounds right. One foot is 30 centimetres, so 180 cm is six feet. One inch is 2.5 centimetres so 185 cm is six feet two inches, and 187.5 centimetres is six feet three inches.
Do you have a specific weight goal in mind for next year?

I dont think it is specifically limited to getting shredded…although it is most of our best shots at winning.

Do you make it a goal to get the workout done as quick as possible or is your schedule just very packed these days? I am just wondering since you time your workouts religiously.

@MarkKO what’s your long-term plan over the next months and years regarding bodyweight? I presume once you hit 125kg you’ll lose a little to build back up, or are you just going to hold it there?

@Koestrizer it’s more an accountability thing. I know I can generally get my training done in an hour and 20 minutes or less (excluding when I have to wrap my knees). So I track it to make sure I’m not getting lazy. It also helps make sure when I’m at the gym, I work rather than fuck around and chat. If course occasionally I’ll talk to people, but I make sure it doesn’t interfere too much. I also hate the paradigm that training for powerlifting means you sit around for huge rests between sets, because if that’s what you need to do to get through the sets your conditioning is abysmal. I might be a fat fuck, but I can work. The only time I take long rests is during peak.
@mattjp I’ll hold at 125 when I get there. My concern was that to get into the 120s I would be sloppy as shit and need to trim down. My body comp hasn’t really changed much since I hit 110 or so, so I figure there isn’t a burning need for me to do anything other than hold at 125 for a while once I get there. Ideally I’ll manage some kind of recomp during that period as well.
