You look huge dude. I would’ve pegged you for 240 plus.

Nice work.

You look more dense than 213

I have a hard time seeing how anyone could possibly refute that statement. [/quote]

I will only add that there is a time component to that as well in that they may, again, MAY, obtain that size and/or strength goal faster than doing a slower, lean gain. That’s not to say that someone out there couldn’t stay lean and reach the goal at the same speed.

The fact is, there are essentially two paths: lean and steady or bulk/cut. In the end you choose a path and you get to your goal somehow, but you still get to the goal-- that’s what we’re here to do, right?

you should have seen me at 270. i looked a lot like the pic of donnie thompson posted earlier, but with long heavy-metal hair and way bigger traps.

lots of Olympic lifting tends to do the trap thing to people

heavythrower you have the diesel Steve Pulcinella/“don’t punch me in the face because my neck won’t move at all and then you’re in trouble” look down perfectly. How much more fat are you planning on losing?

anyways, bluecollartrain’s law of looking ideal at 3 lbs/inch is still holding true even with a Leeman

That was the greatest thread of all time here. Ahh, the memories. Someone should bump it.

Some guys just look like you could throw them around, they may be 213 but I just feel like they are “light” you on the other hand look like I would need a fucking crane to move around at 213.

Must be the full house look

well, i had originally thought that 205 would be the magic mark, but fuck, like i said i am almost there already and i am nowhere near as lean as i thought i would be.

my goal was to not feel self conscious about going shirtless at the pool this summer, but the man boobs are still there, and i seem to be far from that goal right now.

all kidding aside i am somewhat depressed about it.

hmmm that puts me a 198, we will see.

lol if you are depressed about your physique then I need to go guillotine press 405 without a spot. You look pretty huge

your shoulders will look like pumpkins or coconuts this summer depending on how much you tan

thanks. but again, we will see, hard to imagine that the way im looking now. i am trying not to be discouraged.

well, ill check in later, gonna go to my garage and train.

Those were damn good times. When full housers and lean people came together for one common goal - embarassing eliteballa.

I mean you can just look at George’s youtube channel. He’s got posing vids of him pretty shredded at around 300lbs. To my knowledge after his immense bulk he never got anywhere remotely near 230 lol. I mean fucking look at a picture of the guy next to Brandon Lilly and the Lilliebrodge family; he is motherfucking gargantuan.[/quote]

Yes currently he’s about 300ish. We’re talking about about 1.5-2 years ago when he dieted down to 230 using mdrol. he now trains at supertraining gym and since then has started doing real cycles.

@Prof X:

Took me a while but i found some cool stuff you may be interested in:

  1. Strength training will increase the blood volume in tendons which would reduce recovery time.
    http://jap.physiology.org/content/106/2/412.abstract

  2. Age WILL increase recovery time by reducing blood flow to tendons.
    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jor.1100120214/abstract?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&userIsAuthenticated=false

So while exercise will increase the integrity and blood flow of a muscle tendon ultimately it WILL take longer to recover from any tendon injury as age increases. [/quote]

Thanks setto. You didn’t have to do that but it is appreciated.[/quote]

Meh, we have our disagreements, shouldn’t get in the way of fact & science.

No problemo. [/quote]

So, you have one study that suggests long-term, dynamic resistance training DOES increase blood flow to tendons… and are comparing those results to another one that bases its conclusions on resting, stretching, isometrically contracting and vascularly occluded tendons during acute observations?

While I appreciate the effort you put into these, please understand that these studies are completely different from one another. The first one supports HT’s assertion (that long-term, conventional weight training positively impacts tendon vascularity) while the second only reinforces what we already know: that the general population can expect decreased blood supply to tendons in a manner correlated positively with age.

You don’t have to be a dentist to tell the difference between an apple and an orange.

hmm. Physique-wise there are 2 main things i have been consistently striving for :

  1. To be yoked in the traps and shoulders.
  2. To have the nicest ass ever seen on a man.

With these 2 things , you cannot lose.
