One Bourbon, One Squat, One Beer

LOL… no, not huge at all. They’ve been hovering between (a smoothish) 18.5/18.75 for awhile now. With those, I’m exploding up and trying to control down, they’re not real smooth up real smooth down by any means. However, having said that, I’m not leaning back or using leg drive or any of that either.

I’m in that ‘they aint pretty but still feel it’ zone… :slight_smile:

2nd Tuesday of the 5th week of the 14th month of the year that is the number that is one more than the year after.

Besides, I ain’t winning any shows looking like this.

With all this squatting going on, I think you’re cheating on the one bourbon, one squat, one beer ratio.

And looking like that, you’d win all the “Who the Girlz Wanna Cuddle With” shows.

Holy crap! Great progress, dude.

Thanks!

Meat-- I’m loving these on ‘arm day’. I did these backwards in the Smith per C_C’s recommendation to take advantage of the bar path angle:

damn! Shows what 18 month of dedication can do …

Rich Gaspari called to request mentoring. He wants to get big like you.

Edit: Looking monstrous solid, SteelyD.

Woa… you look like you swallowed jim wendler.

What the sock puppet said.

Has anybody seen Wendler lately?

What sort of eating plan do you getting enormous?

HHHHHOOOOOOLLLLLLYYYYYY Shit!!! that is some progress. you are literally twice the man you used to be.

fuggen amazing dude.

LOL… thanks dudes. Getting bigger (fatter) but still not half as strong as you gorillas (and bunnies).

JG: Eggs, steak, potatoes, corn torilla chips, protein shakes!! (and a pizza/burger/wings/ice-cream here and there).

Lucky bastard, if I eat a least bit above maintenance it goes to the gut and nowhere else. If I remember right you used to be fat like I used to. It f’ed me up good.

Joe, here’s page one of my previous log (“Shut Up n Lift”):

Scroll down a little to see the fatness :wink:

We could have been twins but you seem to be blessed with better skin elasticity.

EDIT: Read a lot of the first part of the journal and its a impressive testamant to your effort.
