4 glasses of wine later, you’re completely right. I changed it twice, too.

Math, CBear, basic math…

You look lovely, Mascherano. I’m not the one to give advice, God knows, but I don’t think anything needs to be changed in the pretty department.

Only just got around to checking out the vids but I agree with everyone on the bum and hams. Very nice. Very nice indeed.

You need glasses! I agree with squat, that ass is like KAPOW. Anytime you have a KAPOW ass, you have a weapon.

Hey Mascherano I have to agree with everyone else about your body fat percentage. Maybe you should post a better picture to compare to the one on your avatar.

I’m being serious BTW not just trying to get some eye candy up in here.

blushes Thanks y’all!

I will take some pre-pics tomorrow and get them up. I think you guys will go, “oh…ok, I see.”

Ronaldo, I read that entire thread and I still have no clue wtf the shoe means!

Yesterday’s lifting, not too bad. Its kind of crazy that I’m almost done with this program. I started in July and was doing 35 on the BB bent over row, 15 on the DB shoulder press and nary a pullup. Yay!

DL 10x95, 10x115, 8x125, 6x135, 5x135, 3x135 < These took a while since I was working quite deliberately. I really tried to remember everything that you guys recommended - sit back, heels through floor, pull back…I think they were looking better. Definitely felt different - heart rate got up there on the last reps.

Pullups 1,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1 < These were neutral grip, so you’d think they would be easier. Sorry for the number sequence, just want to show the progression. It appears that once I get consecutive pullups, i’m tapped out afterwards. I couldn’t even do all 10!

Rev lunge w/ DB - 6x30, 4x35, 6x30, 8x30
DB push press - 6x25, 4x30, 3x30, 8x25 < gawd, 30 is hard!
DB 1arm row - 8x40, 6x35, 2x4x50
Hypers - 3x15x25
Rev crunch - 15xbw < too easy, but I was being lazy :frowning:

One thing I will say, the left side of my upper body is SO much weaker than the right side! Its the first thing to go on the lifts and the pullup - annoying.

Oh and I finished off with front squat tabata. Thought I’d be bad ass and weight the bar for once (65lbs). Yeah, after 1 and half minutes I had to stop and take off the weight off and finish with just the bar. HAHA! Here’s your humble pie, Mascherano.

Then I went to watch the Jets game. I know pretty much nothing about American football aside from when to yell and high five, but I love watching sports, so it was tons o’ fun. I consumed copious amounts of booze and was pretty wastado by the end of the game. But then ate a deeeeelicious double bacon cheeseburger and sobered up right quick (read: after getting home and taking a 2 hour nap). Anyways, I figured I’m going on the diet so balls out!

nice pullups!
and I think you’re doing the right thing for your imbalance by doing 1-armed rows.

Post those pictures so we can tell you what a silly goose you are.

Thanks Alisa! Yeah, you’d think the 1 arm stuff would help…

Pics will come up soon. I need to remember to bring the camera from my office. I’m also bloated as all hell (thanks burger and booze), so I’m not feeling particularly good about showing myself off.

On that note, just finished reading RFL. Honestly, its a bit intimidating. As it is I don’t eat any grains aside from granola, so most of my carbs come from fruit, milk and nuts (are nuts carb rich, idk). I may just take a cue from the book and ease off the fruit and other direct carb sources (granola, sugar), since those probably supply the most carbs, and keep everything else.

I’m also a bit scared to lower the cals too much - I may become evil, like a gremlin. I think I’m going to just try to keep them round 1600 a day, more if I’m lifting, and then continue with life as normal, so no cutting out the cardio.

Speaking of cardio, went into the gym today to do some endurance running. Back was hurting so I couldn’t run past 10mins. Must’ve been the Dls. Meh. Stretched and foam rolled.

Tomorrow I’m taking another sports conditioning class. This will probably be the last one I get to take before soccer begins, so I want to make the most of it. The last class I was able to get 15 pretty decent squat jumps in a row, so I’m looking to beat this. I have a secret that helps me, toes point in, like pigeon toed…hee hee, the others don’t know…

23% hahaha

Hi miss 23% lol
I thought you might enjoy this:
