I might end up being at an ok level after all, I am at about 1900 right now at 4:30. If I eat just one more meal, I will be fine.

You still cut yourself shaving even with all these new blades? Fuck you must either be using an old time razor or you are pushing mad fucking hard!

I use 2 blades just for my front torso., and could use 3 because the 2nd one is pretty dull when I am getting done. Then 1 for arms, and 1 for legs. Wife does my back with a body groomer trimmer.

most of the cuts are on my shins and knees

In all seriousness, how do you cut yourself? I use a gillette twin blade on my whole body and for the life of me I can not cut myself except for my nutsack but that shit is sensitive skin!

mostly on shins where there are edges, and knees where the skin is loose. I catch a lot of moles and blemishes too.

I had to take my wife to the airport today, so had time for only a half hour of cardio...this weekend is going to be dicey on doing a lot of training...swim meet both mornings where we leave at 6 am and get home at 1.

I only weighed 195.0 this morning which is amazing considering I ate about 4lbs of food yesterday.

Do you wish you weren't married? No kids?

Being single and unattached is good to an extent. Then again I did my first comp with only two friends there...sometimes it's good to have people you love around you...

gman

01-08-2010, 10:40 AM

Got married to my second gf ever, and have been married 25 1/2 years, and we dated 3 years before we got married. Believe it or not, no other partners.

Love my kids, and am glad I have them. I also hate my job, and money is tight. the perfect storm to be unhappy.

I am just not sure anymore sometimes. Typical late 40's guy, I guess...at least the stereotype.

Do you wish you weren't married? No kids?

Being single and unattached is good to an extent. Then again I did my first comp with only two friends there...sometimes it's good to have people you love around you...

I'll weigh in on that question, too. I've been married 24 years (1st marriage for both of us), and still madly in love.

My kids are great. Both adopted; son is 15, daughter is 12.

But, sure, there are many days when I wish I was single with no kids!

Mike - Do you anticipate having your kids in the audience to cheer for you at your bodybuilding contest later this year? My kids have been to two of mine, and it was a hoot having them there. My daughter got surprisingly excited (and proud of me). It was really touching to see her in the audience. (I think she thought that by being on stage I was famous or something.)

gman

01-08-2010, 11:07 AM

My kids probably won't be there...boys are 22 and 21 and neither will probably be around. My older one is into bodybuilding a little, but he will probably be in Costa Rica for at least a year after he graduates from UVA. Younger son will probably be in summer school trying to catch up. My daughter is 11 and is totally grossed out by me right now, so I don't know if she will come or not. She thinks I look disgusting and says I have boobs.

gman

Wow, so far haven't eaten like a bulker today...yet! Of course I didn't lift or do much cardio either.

Saw your pic sitting with Baldi in his thread. You look like a big dude. It's hard to picture people sometimes just through pictures, haha. 5'9" and in the 190's is big.

according to Blu, I am a lot smaller in person than in the pics...which I hope is a good sign. I might look fatter in the pics than I really am. Now in the pic with Baldie, I was in the low 220's too, so maybe I was big then. that was 25 lbs ago

I am only 5'8" too, Bob...exactly 5'8"!

Grace saw the cover of Pumping Iron, and said Arnold's bicep looked like a big pimple! lol

What is it with these girls? I showed my 12-year-old daughter the new NPC magazine last night, and she thought all of the bodybuilders were "disgusting". I told her that my goal is to one day be disgusting also.

Swim meets....good grief. Better get ready to dedicate a room just for trophys and ribbons. Most of our pools are outdoors so we would sit (1975-1979) in the stands on chilly damp mornings all bundled up with several thermos of hot coffee (mine was the one laced with Jack Daniels).
It was easy to spot our daughter...the blond with the blue skin.

Have fun.....

01-10-2010, 06:45 AM

Yeah, we have what's called short course (25yd pool) during the fall and early winter, all indoors. Even the long-course season (50m pool) is indoors as well. the only outdoor meets are the summer league team we have Grace on.

It's tough for her right now since she just aged up to the 11-12 division...she went from big fish at 10, to small minnow at 11. Some of the 12 year olds she swims against are 5'8" and 135 lbs.

Damn, the Jack Daniels is tempting...if I weren't cutting!

01-10-2010, 06:52 AM

Forgot to mention at the strength meet, a bodybuilder competed and he was good...6'2", maybe 215. He would strike a front double bi after every event! lol

They are a 4 or 5 blade system. Less chance to nick yourself. Just take it slow and easy at first. You have to go against the grain to get that smooth feeling if you don't your head feels like 220 grit. Disposable razors will tear you up and Gillette mach 3 tends to cut/nick a little.

Baldie and his BIC. I woke up from anesthesia having 1/4 of my forehead removed along with hair shaved all the way back to ummmmm about where yours starts. I also had a huge bald spot on top. WTF shave it all off. I used a dog shears real close (the one I use to start the body shave) then soaked my head for along time under the shower. With a handfull of BICs I soaped the head up to give some glide and started. Everyones head has a few tiny moles and the like. Off they came...bloody mess. That day I had tissues stuck all over. My dermatologist who was involved with the cancer surgery told me that it was OK to shave all the moles flat. I shaved everyother day and within 2 weeks my head was shinny smooth. I continue today...BICs in the shower every other day. Right hand shaves while left hand feels where the blade needs to go. Have not cut myself in years. You will feel so F'en sexy once done be sure to have the kids outta the house and flowers for the wife :hypno:.

So let me make sure my plan is correct:

Use hair clippers with no guard to take it way down.
then soap or shaving cream and high quality razors, unless I have thick skin, in which case I use cheap ones.

makes perfect sense, John.

When I was trying to get initiated into a gang I had several things I needed to do to get in, some were really fucked up and I did do them (sad to say). But there was this one thing that I refused to do, as it involved really hurting someone who could not have defended them self.

Although the prez at that time kept insisting that if I did not do it then not only would I not become a member I would be the one to walk through the iron gate, (wich actually was sucide) I stood my ground and earned more respect from the rest of the members and actually became the warlord. Not because of something I did, but more-so for not doing something I was suppose to do.

I am not sure if this makes any sense to you, but I think you understand what I am getting at.

well tomorrow we will see if I gained or lost in the last 7 days since my last weigh in. I had the 3-4 days of ravenous nonstop hunger, didn't track what I ate very well, missed cardio for 4 days, and just feel like I look a little heavier around my midsection.

I am guessing up 2, but we shall see.

gman

just so you guys know, the Better n Peanut Butter is a low fat peanut butter substitute.

It is 100 calories for 2 tbsp and has only 1g of fat in each tbsp

really is good to mix in the blender with chocolate whey, and it tastes close to the real thing. a lot sweeter IMO, maybe it has some splenda in it or something.

Cool story from this morning...I am sitting on the bench in the locker room digging clothes out of my backpack, and a regular walks in....says "Wow, didn't recognize you, you've leaned out so much. If they had a wanted poster of you up from 6 months ago, no one would turn you in."

That felt pretty good to hear.

Sures seems that way. When it is hard to not eat it seems to work. When it is easy to stay away it doesn't. Seems that way with everything. Nothing is easy or it isn't working.

Not if you are in nitrogen deficit. You are also burning up muscle. How about 25 grams of zero carb whey at bedtime?

I usually do whey at 8-9pm, will do better at controlling cals during day so it doesn't keep me from eating my last meal before bed!

I get into food ruts...first tuna 3 times a day, then too much whey, lately cottage cheese...it was on sale at the store near my office so i bought 2 containers.

I have had 3 cups of cottage cheese today, 2 low carb, high fiber wraps, and 2 tbsp of better n peanut butter. that's it...how boring is that? lol

just read this on MSN:

America’s rapid rise in obesity appears to have leveled off, with new government figures showing no significant increase in a decade.

But there's little reason to cheer. More than two-thirds of adults and almost a third of children are overweight, and there are no signs of improvement.

Experts say they’re not sure whether the lull in the battle of the bulge can be attributed to more awareness and better diets — or whether society has simply reached a maximum level of tubbiness.

More meat is a good idea. You burn calories digesting it that way. The powders don't take much to digest. Fat is supposed to slow it down but I doubt it is like digesting meat.

Lots of veges burn more calories than they have in them. You don't seem to eat many veges either. Not that I am an expert. I do remember what worked for me though. I better start doing it myself.

today I walked 2 miles to the Y and did a brutal shoulder circuit devised by my friend Eric, who works there in the mornings...you pick a pair of db's that are just right for your weakest of the following exercises:

Front db raises, both hands at once
Lateral db raises
arnold presses
db upright rows

You do all 4 exercises to failure, with no rest between exercises...then you get 30 seconds of rest and you go back the way you came, rest 30 after the circuit is complete again, and then do it again.

I did the circuit 5x through....

down the list
up the list
down the list
up the list
down the list

I was on fire

Then I did 60 minutes on exercise bike and got hr in the 120's, but still did not push it because of my knee

I will walk 2 miles home after work.

A good day

remember, no rest, and do every one of the sets until you can't lift another rep.
strictly limit to 30 seconds between circuits.

I am going to ask eric to go all circuits from here on out...he writes my workouts for an occasional $50 bill or bottle of 100 proof Smirnoff! lol
