I am so glad to be my nutritionist and to have my whole egg. Keeps the good cholesterol up there to make more sex hormones.

Good deal on the shoulder healing. This is the kind of things that happen when you get older and you think to yourself, what-the-fuck was that all about.


LOL Last thing I need are sex hormones, I fuck like a a rabbit and I doubt m wife wants me to get any hornier, if so she will need to bring in another woman!!

Nah has nothing to do with age, it is the injury from the accident, but I was just wondering as it hasn't hurt me for a while since my rehab.

Really, you don't want anymore free testosterone, less SHBG? Interesting. Sex hormones don't always relate to being horny. LOL Too much prolactin and not enough T, with an abundance of E, would be a really nasty thing.

Yeah the fucked up thing is I didn't go to sleep till 4:00 AM, so that is only 5 hours of sleep. I can't be fucking around like that I need my 9 hours of sleep, I am usually sleeping by 1:00 AM and up at or around 10:00 AM.

This will be my first year doing deads without straps. I have always used straps for heavier weights, but I have an online competition (see who can deadlift the most lbs per lbs) by August.

The guy I am up against weighs 200+ and is currently doing 515lbs! :eek:

I can't, pelvis was rebuilt, car accident, if I do deads or squats with a wider stance it makes my pelvis grind and the shit hurts like a motherfucker.

You do that shit with such ease....makes me sick as I struggled a bit last night to get 388x2. I always chalked it up to being tall, but that's probably a cop out.

Awesome work John!

That would not be a good thing. Maybe you should stay away from 1RM lifts.

Being tall has a lot to do with it man, check out Carls 315lbs deads for like 10 I think, that little bastard has it easy :D Strong motherfucker though

I am OK, I won't do anything that hurts, right now I am training pain free and that feels fucking great!

great workout! Doing the deads from the floor?

Yeah, is there any other way? Unless you meant RackDeads but then I would have called them that ;) :p

I also always do my deads from a dead start, I don't come back up without the weight touching the floor.

Horrible workout tonight, right knee for some reason just started hurting out of nowhere while doing squats I tried to continue and I made it worse.

I kept trying do descend but the knee could not support the weight. Then to make matters even worse moreso my wife kept asking me what was the matter and why I couldn't do it if I did it last week :mad:

Then she kept asking me if different machines were the same as squats and I lost it :(

Yeah that time again. As promise I will post pics from month to month. Not really thrilled with what I am seeing thought I would have changed some more being that I have been on this f'cking diet for the last month and dropping BF, but progress nonetheless. :(

For those who don't know first pic was my starting point Pic taken in March, second pic in April 1 month of training, 3rd pic in May 2 months training, last pic now in June 3 months training.

Here I want for you guys to give me your honest opinion, I have been working my shoulders extremely hard, trying to bring them up as I was told they needed work. Here is a comparison shot from last month to this month. I started a new training specifically on the shoulders (side and rear delts) and I feel they are starting to round out.

Thanks Pam, that means so much to me, I know you are honest with me.

My wife tells me the camera is not doing justice that I am bigger than I appear on the camera, but I am not sure if she is just saying that, I would hope she be as honest with me as possible. I rather honesty than bullshitting me just so that I feel good, ya feel me?

I agree! I know you don't want smoke and mirrors. Seriously, the inverted picture trick is a way to minimize the effects of always seeing ourselves. Since it's a different view the mind has an easier time seeing differences.

Based on the BF%, you are losing lots of fat - and that is great ---> and gaining muscle at the same time - this is very good.

Sorry guys just been extremely busy and I have not been training. Since I consider this site a more hardcore site than BB.com I don't like to post gibberish on here I just been posting a bunch of bullshit on the other site.

Anyway in the interim, here is a story I posted on the other site on my brothers wedding that took place this Saturday

My older brother Robert got married this past weekend. The wedding was beautiful, but for you guys to appreciate the love I want to share his story, some people, like my wife, frown upon it, but here it is. Sorry for the long post.

Robert married his first wife Patty roughly 40 years ago. At the wedding his now wife Carmen was present as she was dating Patty's brother Michael. According to Carmen ( she told us the story) she instantly had strong feelings for Robert, she found him handsome and charming but of course she did not tell anyone.

As time went on (and they met at family functions etc etc) her feelings for Robert grew from attraction to love, but unknown to her, Robert was starting to have feelings for her as well, but of course none of them acted upon these feelings nor did they share it with each other.

During the 30 years of marriage Robert and Patty had 3 girls and 6 grandchildren and Michael and Carmen had 3 boys, 1 girl and 4 grandchildren.

Robert and Pat started to grow apart, their interest changed. Robert and Pat soon separated, but they kept a strong friendship.

Robert reached out to Carmen to tell her he had feelings for her, he figured he was now separated with Patty and wanted to let Carmen know he was in love with her for almost 20 years, what he didn't expect was that Carmen would tell him she was in love with him for nearly 30 years!

Robert and Carmen had an affair while Robert was separated from Patty but Carmen was still married to Michael. The affair lasted for 3 months and Carmen had to tell he Michael. She loved Robert but had an obligation to her husband and children. When she told Michael of course he told Patty. He then moved his family to Texas and that was the end of the affair. Robert met another woman and was dating her for 2 years.

Carmen's love was so strong for Robert she soon divorced her husband, came to New York and found Robert.

Robert left the woman he was dating, got back with Carmen and the rest is history, he proposed to her and this Saturday they married.

In the beginning both sides of the children did not take an of this well, neither did Patty or Michael. But as time went on, they accepted their love for each other.

Both Patty and Michael were at the wedding as were the children and grandchildren.

I never saw a wedding so full of love between two people.

Here is Robert and Carmen both in their 60's.

BH, if I may address this in your thread: The views tell you all you need to know. Never doubt. Do you look better than you could have imagined? Are you pushing the envelope in what you thought you could accomplish? People just don't always know what to say. The fact that they visited your thread tells you they are interested. I have very few replies on my thread, people just don't really say much to me for whatever reason...but they look.

OK time to get this fucking guy on track. Seriously lacking some motherfucking motivation. Fuck I am even starting to look like a fucking 46 year old and that shit is not me!

Thank fucking God I at the very least don't talk the talk of a 46 year old don't dress the dress of a 46 year old and I sure as hell don't act like a 46 year old nor listen to their fucking boring ass goddamn music!

So if I don't fit the part of a 46 year old (fuck I hate old people) then why the fuck am I allowing my self to look like a 46 year old?

I need to wake the fuck up. Wake this sleeping fucking giant right the fuck up!

Lets do this!

Ya I know, you is always fucking with me.

Still training, hit the gym twice today, once for cardio the other a good chest workout. I was in a deloading stage so my body will respond again to the next cycle of heavy training. Sporting a good six pack now and missed the peak for summer but shit happens. Clean bulking for 3-4 months and increased cardio.

Kool, I am thin right, now have a six pack as well, it is easy for me. I will start to eat everything in sight to gain some size. I think I am going to try a dirty bulk to see what happens I never bulk per se, but I do eat a lot but it is always clean.

Hey just for the record I have been training, just started on 01.03.2011, I am keeping a journal at bb.com but will eventually transfer it over here when I am back to form. I am pretty disgusted with myself at the moment because I stopped training for no other reason then self pity which to me is for fucking pussies and that is not me.

Just thought I let you guys know that I am back into training.
