my eyecrometer has you around 9-10% but great work!

And how did you judge that?? He didnt post up any pics of himself at 7%...

Just cos' your like 45% and doesnt mean you need to put others down mr fatural.

[soundsgood]

Yeah that last pic was from 2 weeks ago when I was likely 9-10% Mr Natural. Ripped up quite a bit the last couple of weeks. I think eliminating the salt and sodium helped quite a bit too

Tempted already a? Yea I'm in a similar situation to you, I'm doing my first cut at the moment, after making some decent gains. It'll be interesting to see how much gains you can make on your next bulk. My strength has also declined as the weight's come off, I guess it's just the way it goes.

Im definately feeling lazy not doing ANY cardio at all, but Im enjoying it!

Strength is returning but I need to sort out my split, I had sore shoulders after doing the Incline presses yesterday then the dumbbell shoulder presses tonight. Also got to drop the weight on the side raises and work on strict form instead of just throwing my arms to the sides and using momentum.

Nice to have a decent leg train. Did a good stretch after the workout, as Im sure my legs will be feeling it tomorrow!

It feels like Im eating twice as much these days now Im bulking, and when I write down my diet, I almost am lol. Id say Ill be putting weight on pretty rapidly if I keep it up. Got to think about starting my cardio again or it will all get away on me.

Am I weird if I fantasize about deadlifts all day instead of girls??? :grin:

Went into the gym today with one goal, smash some good Deads, and I definately did. 180kg x 4. Not a bad result considering 3 months ago I didnt even know what a deadlift was :pfft:

I weighed in again today. 95.0kg. So thats like 6 kg weight gain in 12 days. I know it aint all muscle but damned if I care, after 3 months of trying to maintain my strength while cutting, its nice to finally be making some strength gains. Roll on Chest and Bi's tomorrow!

[Gym rat]

Good shit on new PB for deadlifts :clap: :clap: .

[SoaringSwine]

Am I weird if I fantasize about deadlifts all day instead of girls???

As far as I'm concerned that's perfectly healthy, just so long as you fantasize about girls at night!

[Varven]

aH yeah the good ol deadlift fever... I think most avid deadlifters get those moments...

Nice work, it must be satisfying seeing the weight an the strength going up.

Regarding dreams, all I ever dream about since I started body-building, is food, it's kind of disturbing. :pfft:

Went and saw Grant today. The Power caps are gone and MEGA NO BLAST is back! For those of you that aren't familiar with it its a Nitrous Oxide product with 7 added creatines. Gives you that massive tingly feeling all over about 20 minutes after taking it. Should be good for an extra 2kg of water retention alone.

Bench Press was up but only marginally, hopefully wont take long to get back up to pre-cut levels of working sets at 125-130+.

felt too ill to continue, yeah I know harden up lol

Anyway cracked a great workout today. Jumped on the scales..... 97.0kg. Thats an 8kg gain in 2 weeks. :shock: Keep this up and Ill be like 300kg next xmas :grin:
