Dude I said I am going through a major bulk right now, just wait till I start cutting!
funny avatar...sad thing is I was close to that kid.
remember wearing a t-shirt to the pool because I had boobs when I was 11-12
Actually Mike you are not fat, you have bodyfat that needs to drop, but you are not fat.
Also like I said, I thought the pic was a progress pic, so my bad in that aspect, and no I am not trying to make you feel good by taking back what I said, only taking it back cause I realize my assumption on the pic was wrong.
I am actually pretty lean now, just not bodybuilder lean! lol 16-17% is pretty good for a 48 year old.
I will just call all my shots posing pics, that way I can hold my stomach in every time!
gotta slow down on the food
3 meals in and already
1,331 cal
68.9 fat
35.2 carb
145.4 protein

since we were talking about boobs...I got this email today:
Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and never listening to them.

LOL That's awesome...tits that play music? Just add some beer dispensers in the nipples and I'm down.
Just checking in Mike. Looks like you are making great progress! And dude, you should always tighten your waist line in progress shots or posing shots, I can't think of anytime you would just let it hang out, oh wait, the before shots on Muscletech Ads, yeah, then you let it hang out:p.
New avi looks great, Keep up the good work brother.

Yeah I could go for that...maybe make one of them a rum and coke dispenser, or maybe if you flick the nipple a couple times w/ your tongue, it changes what drink comes out.
that is the difference I see in you this time around, you finally see motivated, as well as patient and determined to do the right things. It is great to see, keep it up and you will reach your goals.

Now you have opened the door of your thread very wide...JOKES
A med school professor was having a difficult time keeping his students attention while lecturing on the very dry subject of Involuntary Muscle Contraction. So he engaged a young female in the front row...

"Yes I do...he is away deer hunting"

I should be able to compete as a middleweight if my muscle doesn't burn off much in the cut. LBM was 172 in my dexascan on Oct 2nd. If I can hold most of that...might be able to come in at 175-177

Weighted dips with 45lb plate: 10 8 7 8
1 arm rope pushdowns: 4 sets, did burnout on last one...even doing 10lbs at the end was tough
BB curls, 135lbs: 6 5 5 6
low pulley tricep rope curls, sort of like hammer curl grip: 4 sets
incline same time db curls: 4 sets with 30's

Nice arm workout bro.
thanks bucki...guess what is sore though...my lats! How weird is that?
Must have used them in the bb curls and reactivated the soreness from Wed back day.
I had to cheat the bb up some on many reps.
I am going to do those damn things every week until I don't have to cheat at all at 135...as soon as that happens, will bump to 145 and start over.
buckimscl
11-13-2009, 08:42 PM
I don't do BB curls. Kills my elbows!! Can't handle the straight bar. I'll cheat but usually only on the last set or so. I try to isolate as much as possible.

funny my elbow tendinitis is almost gone and I did nothing to fix it, no ice, nothing.
all I can think of was the increase in fish oil from 2 to 6 a day for the past 5 weeks.
also started taking 2 MSM a day.
I want to kill my arms and those bb curls just hurt like a mofo the next day or two right where the biceps end on the elbow side.

Careful on those cheats. I aggravated a lat or a tendon doing tris. I learned that once I start feeling it anywhere but in my tris, stop. Don't ego the weight and hurt something else. Goes for all supporting muscles on every exercise :)

I will be careful, thanks Pam...I don't have to cheat like hell, just a little!
it is fun doing them now that I am a little leaner...I can see lots of muscle and veins I never knew I had.
I even saw a few veins in my left bicep tonight...a major first! :yep:

Mike, in the squat thread you remarked to it was Fitbody I believe, that you have never trained 'that intensely'. I need to train with you.
Each and every training session for the past 6 months has been to the edge. If I don't see the room spin, reach for my puffer, end up staring at the ceiling at least once, or fight hurling sometime during the morning, then I count the time as waisted.
I want to hear..."Dude, hey Dude, are you OK?" That is validation of time well spent. Now before one of the open forum naysayers jumps in...my workouts are pure quality thank you, form and poundages.
Baldie
that's what I need to find out...just how hard I can be pushed...sure I could do it on my own . But it would be nice to train with a veteran to find out for sure!
I could be a freak if I trained harder I am sure. I got plenty of muscle without balls to the wall...imagine if I went 200% all the time.

not the best food day so far:
2 scoops of whey before swim meet
bought and ate 3 boiled eggs at swim meet
2 scoops of whey and 1.5 tbsp of pb after swim meet
It's almost 2 pm, and I feel empty inside
just ate a pouch of sweet and spicy tuna.
macros sit at:
1,051 cal
46.5 fat
39.8 carb
125.9 protein
13g fiber so far.
I used a local supplement store's house brand protein today...it is a blend of whey and casein...has a little bit of fat, and also 3 g of fiber per scoop...not low carb though...12 g per 2 scoops(of which 6 are fiber)...it also has green tea extract added to it.

I eat 73% dark chocolate every day, whether I'm leaning out or bulking :D
You do however have to be very careful about how much. A couple of squares is ok, 1/2 of a bar or more is not. For me it's an essential food item, I just fit it into my macros.

yes a wacko...I think we all are on here to some degree
Big news everyone:
I just flexed my right arm...I am already getting the indentation under the bicep and now there is a little line in my front bicep about halfway up it...I think it's the beginning of a separation showing between the heads of the bicep or something.
Fuck yeah! I'm gonna eat a cookie for you!

My friend Jon Bacon Boy Larue from our very own RxMuscle placed 5th in the open men in his first show.
His post contest meal which he posted up in a video on Facebook
get 2 bacon double cheeseburgers...remove buns...place one giant glazed donut on paper, stack both bacon double cheeseburgers on the donut, and then top with another donut.
oh yeah, don't forget the super size fries.
had a long day...up at 5 am to drive to swim meet. Grace did great. Her overall tally for the weekend.
100 freestyle: 3rd
50 breast: 3rd
100 back: 2nd
50 fly: 5th
50 back: 2nd
50 free: 5th
she ages up to the 11-12 class on tuesday, and so she will be a middle of the pack person for a while...some of the girls in that age group are 5'7" and fully developed!
we got home at 1...I went and did 30 minutes of cardio at 135 bpm.
came home and we cleaned the leaves and limbs from the front yard...back will be done Tuesday when I take off a little early.
then straight to Mom's for my cheat meal. Had 1 piece of lasagna, 1 small garlic toast, 2 big helpings of salad with balsamic vinaigrette.
not a bad cheat meal...I have eaten too many nuts this weekend though...wouldn't be surprised if I am up a few lbs.
Going to do better this week.

Congrats to your daughter. Nice placing for a new age group!
Good cheat meal too. Now don't go obsessing about any bloating. It was a reasonable cheat and your body needs those carbs. It should have less of an effect than your previous weekend cheats :)
I am thinking ....IHOP all you can eat pancakes..then mosey on down to friendlys for the largest banana split they have..if I am still hungry go eat a couple of pizza by the slice.

Good progress G how do you like XTEND? What flavor are you using?
wonder why they aren't tight on me?
don't answer that! lol
probably because I carry more than half my weight in my ass and legs.
xtend is good, I don't like the flavor I got this time...green apple.
I am going to make my own next time...Pam above said to buy the amino powder and mix it with citruline.

Chest workout and quick shower and I am yours:p;)
my thread is off limits after 11
I just took my shirt off and I was wrong. I am burned like a bitch. Maybe not that bad, because it doesn't hurt...but redder in the middle of my torso, and nothing on my arms at all.
Definitely won't be going tomorrow.

Mike, I wouldn't tan any more often than 3x week. And that's if you don't have any burning. So, wait for all redness to subside and then try 6 minutes. I also wouldn't use any lotions until you accumulate a base tan. Those lotions won't do much until you actually have some color.

I had a state of the art (at the time) tanning bed that took up half a bedroom. I did 20 min every night before my shower. I was brown 24/7 even where the sun don't shine. What I really liked about the bed was the water it pulled out of my skin. I came out snakey veiny and left behind a pool of water I had to mop up each time. (great night before a show...I would do an hour) I got to the point where I slept 15 of the 20 min every time. One night front, arms up, next niight back, etc. etc. The door popping open and rush of cool air would wake me. Became a deadly habit. As I have posted I have had two Melanoma surgeries. Yes I am a blue eyed whitie. I took the bed to the curb and smashed it with a sledge hammer. All fucking $4,000 of it.
How about this?? A tanning pill that has the side effect of giving you a boner. Ladies I am sure your little friend gets the same effect.

thanks, Pam...won't be going back for probably a week based on how red I am now

I think those pills are good, I think you can do shots of stuff too.
pricey but it works.
Would love to try the pills for the side effects.
me, after 8 minutes in the weak tanning bed...

G I can tell you're leaning out. Your face is showing it big time and your midsection is the leanest I've seen it, other than those pics from a few years ago.

After seeing all the crap with skin cancer and that kinda crap, I am not sure if I wanna tan at all. I mean now that I know how dark I need to be for shows and stuff, I am going to do 2 mystics and then 2 coats dream tan...
But i do have a free membership to the tanning salon, and can use the level one beds as much as I want for a year... But I dont really care how pale or dark I am during anytime outside competing you know?

Looking leaner Mike red or not :)
Don't hate me but my tan is already beautiful :p
Yes I know it is bad to tan...I use to weigh 100lbs more guarantee that did more damage ...I don't smoke, drink ( 2 drinks a month maybe), I don't eat any crap , I do cardio , I lift , I tan , I flirt ...those are my vices :yep:

I want to hear all about the HEAVY ASS WEIGHTS you are tossing around....you do not have a photo shoot next week...or do you :confused:?
BodyBUILDING is our game. Do I need to catch the next plane to Richmond? (switching planes at Tulsa where I would have a two hour lay over...just enough time to hide someones running aarrrg shoes :mad:).

Good strategy. Maybe just have it sent to his house.

just wanted to show how burned I got, Baldie...on low dose. Wasn't intending it to be a "wow Mike you are leaning out" fishing expedition
I don't toss heavy ass weights, at least not today I didn't! Felt like a little kid trying to lift today.
Chest day:
Head down dips, body weight: 19 20 14 12
Decline flys with 40's: 20 10 10 (30 second rest just so I could get off the damn decline bench)
Flat flys with 60's: 9 8 8
Incline db press , weak as fuck: 4/70 4/60 4/55 5/55
Inc flys, 45's: 7 7 8 9
DB pullovers, 85 lber: 10 9 10
30 minutes of arc trainer, 134 bpm average
Really feel like a wussy on chest day.
the burn is killing me on my stomach.
Everywhere else feels ok

Nice work G...you wanna talk about feeling like a pussy on chest day? I went from repping 110's on incline for 8 to getting 70's for 9 this week. No more pressing for me...damn shoulder.

Doing great........keep plugging away!
thanks for the compliments to everyone. I posted the pic to show how I turned into a lobster after 1 session of tanning...actually haven't lost any weight, or if I have I don't know yet because I haven't weighed in several days.
Big news, I bought a heart rate monitor at Dick's .... It is a Timex Bodylink Ironman model, andit was hanging on a rod with about 5 others with a tag above it that said 109.95, but had a sticker on it saying "Dick's Price 29.95."
All 3 of the timex models had that 29.95 sticker on them even though the price on the rods was 59.95, 79.95 and 109.95.
Being me, I chose the highest price on.
I even was honest at the cash register. I told them woman that it was marked 109.95 on the rod, but she scanned it and said, no it's 29.95
I hope it's a good monitor.
