Good work, Bucki, can you put up your measurements? You look pretty big, just need to lean out some.

buckimscl
07-27-2009, 03:56 PM
I can do that. You're right about the leaning out some. I am 6'0 and 255 last time I was on the scale. I will put down the individual measurements soon. I had my bf checked and I need to to be @ 208 to be 5%.

gman
07-27-2009, 04:05 PM
that's damn good weight at 5%.

I have to get down to 170 or less to get to 5%. Ironically we both need to cut the same amount of weight, roughly. I will be following your progress. Best of luck!

Well I dropped a 35lb plate on my big toe adn I'm pretty sure it's broken. Looks like no leg days for awhile. This is going to slow up my training. Any suggestions??

Yes. Don't drop plates on your toe....:no:
Calves might be hard to train, but I'm guessing you'll be able to do everything else.

buckimscl
09-02-2009, 08:36 AM
All healed up thanks for asking. Didn't break but bruised the jeebus out of it. It's legs tomorrow and not sure about calf training though it could be a little tender yet.

buckimscl
09-03-2009, 06:38 AM

DEA cocksuckers always looking into my shit. :)
Took a little break from the boards for the most part for the last week. Between the job, wife, girlfriend and everyone else wanting a piece of my time I need to back up and get back to the real world from time to time. Well the decision has been made and I am going forward with a spring show in Dayton, OH. I believe that it's May 14th so this will be the journey there. Don't know how I will be doing the macro's and the training as of right now but I'll be including pix this week and updating as much as possible and as time allows. I am looking at a diet of about 3100 calories per day with a 50/30/20 breakdown. I will adjust as time goes on and I start seeing changes. I am currently weighing roughly 258-260 depending on the scale and the time of day. So now begins my love affair with chicken, tuna, brown rice and broccoli. So get in, sit down, buckle up and shut the hell up and hold on for the ride :)

Go to the 'Total Package' thread here in the Masters forum and take a look at Robert's picture. I prepped him for that show. He took home 5 trophies. I'm working with 2 other masters, prepping them for their shows, too. Let me know!

How's it guys. Been training the last few days but have not updated because of a big maintenance outage at our mill. Talked to a local guy and he has me on a clean bulk right now apparently it's way too early to start any sort of cut. I may do my contest prep with Esplendido and start about the end of December. I spoke with him and he says that's plenty of time to drop the weight I need to. Yesterday was Delts/tri's

Pretty good leg workout today. Felt kinda queasy at the end of the lunges and that's a good thing. Delts tomorrow.
