Luck man. I've always had to force feed my self. Your current diet is for weight gain right?

Im trying to get BF down to 15% or less then I'll go for a good clean bulk. Start BF 26%..stayed at that for 6 weeks and over the past fortnight I have been reducing it...current stats later today :wink:

[startinfromscratch]

il be watching this with interest, i did much the same thing. (still am) just started a bulk at 14%, got from 19%-14% in about 9 weeks with carb cycling bro.

look foward to the results, if they look to good we all reserve the rights to before and after pics!! :grin:

have found the strength is down a bit...seem to be able to lift heavier carrying a bit more weight (or is this a headfuck thing Im carrying around) and I look a bit smaller today in the mirror so stopped looking.

Nutritional information

whipped up a 25g protein shake before hitting the cobbles this morn and took part 1 of day 18 mitotropin

Am - 10 egg whites, 1 cup cooked oats and multi vits, vit c and flaxseed oil

Am - 250g steak, 1 w/meal pita, 2 vita wheat crakers and a kiwifruit

Pre work out - SP 2 fiddy...doesnt seem to be as good as it was :?

Intra w/out shake- 50g protein

Postw/out - creatine

Pm - 300g steak, beans, 1.5 pitas, handful of walnuts, kiwifruit

Pm - defrosting a few chook tits for the rest of the days meals but going to be bugger all carbs except veges so will make the protein a bit more me thinks.

Notes to self

Dont get down cos your getting thin. You chose to go this way and once its done you can start bulking like you want to :twisted: You want to be huge not a pencil.

Maybe give the SP2fiddy a rest for a few days and see if it starts working again. Having to take 3 scoops to get a hit from it is dumb!

Keep an eye on the post box for the Big Kiwi shirt you ordered :wink:

[Specter]

Hey bro..my I have nevr tried sp250 yet(even though I got 2 unopened tubs sitting on my table for a month now) but my mate just only in the last 2 weeks started cycling his sp250 on quads, chest and back days only and trains without it on all the other muscle parts and he swears by it.....maybe worth a shot?

[steak]

yeah I saw a post about that..might have been you bro..anyway 3 scoops to get a go off it..fark that. Just about done a tub so will cycle the rest of it and then maybe try some San Fierce or something...maybe even something like a good feed and forget all this tricky shit.

I use to have a protein shake preworkout but can't afford it at the moment as I'm a student. Looking to save up and purchase superpump and some more whey protein. I've never tried superpump and have heard good things about this product so will see how it goes.

It's pretty sweet. It had the best effect the first time I used it.

Had a bit of the shakes, heaps of energy.

As soon as I put my weights down I wanted to grab some more.

Couldn't sleep many hours later :pfft:

It was awesome :nod:

[steak]

Been using it for a couple of weeks DRWKnives but the effects are not as strong as they were at the start. Cycling it may be the go..will let you know :wink:

Shes a taskmistress

8) It's for your own good, you know that hey?

no wonder PBB smacked her one in the grin

:snooty: I am Frequently Misunderstood etc. Like this one time...

Scrappy Girl has lost credibilty

To asplain (though f*ck knows why I feel the need to :shifty: ), I'm off work this week and thus have limited access to a computer. Because I work with them all day, I refuse to have one at home etc. So. My home is a PC-free haven. I will load Push-up Fathoms as soon as I can. Right now though, it's time for Round 14 Fathoms :salute:

no shame

Never. Anyone who hassles you is a complete waste of space and probably can't do them either. Anyone who can do them will be respectful.

ego left at door...it's a marathon not a sprint

Good man :notworthy:

You are this close

Meh, I'll thrive on your lack of forgiveness. You're just pissy because the info was right. Bring it :pfft:

forget all this tricky shit

Food > ...

[steak]

PUFs are not a requirement sunshine...you might spoil the illusion anyway

Taskmistress now that has just a smidge too much latex, bubblewrap and duct tape for my liking

Anyhooo good news...another kg down today..slipped a nick under 116k this morn and had a killer quads work out that went a lot like this.....

Hack squats..first time I've done these..

[rose]

spoil the illusion

More than likely. I just wanna to prove to the innuhnet world I'm not a fat greasy man downloading kiddie pron in a darkened room :shifty:

a smidge too much latex, bubblewrap and duct tape

Says the man who has a 'Falshing' Fetish :pfft:

Nice quads hit. What'd you think of the hack skwatz?

Nice eats too. I bought a 750g roll of fillet and roasted it. f*ck it came out niiiiiiiiiiice. Weighed in at 450g. I cooked it at 10.30am. It was gone by the afternoon 8)

[steak]

buggashytefukcbarstardcruntarseybloody elbow tendons :evil:

Not happy :evil:

Doc reckons its golfers elbow, take these anti flams and ice it down and stop training.....

Like f*ck :evil:

Ok so now to work around the elbow for a bit...tried the anti flams for a few days...so-so short term but it flares up in the gym...thinking cap on, interwebby surfin for cures....looks like rest is the key with ice when you can...argh not now! Not when things are going well..ish...more swearing roaring rage, foot stomping pissed off

Rant over...calm

Any help with this "golfers elbow" (it's like tennis elbow but on the inside of the elbow not outside) would be appreciated...please....?

Is it worth an elbow support, compression bandage anything...I just got to keep training....hear desperation :roll:

CORTISONE INJECTION???????

Chest and tris today...yeah yeah i know ...that wont help it... and it didn't really but I trained higher reps and lighter...was fun for the first bit but not quite the same

Flat bench press

a mixed bag of 40-60kg high rep drop sets - 7 sets all up

Inline DB press - 10 sets of 25kgDBs varying reps but mostly high

and heaps of rope pulldowns again moslty light 100lb or less - 10 sets

and a bit of a mix of kickbacks and close grip pushdowns at light and high reps.

Didnt really feel like a workout

A day at sea with good eating although not as balanced as it should have been....

AM - 4 weetbix, 50g shake

AM - 1 chicken breat, 1/2 a kumara

AM - same

PM - same

Pm - tin of tuna and a 18g of carbs wrap

usual pre, intra, post work out supps

and finished off the day with 365g of shnitzel and another 18g carb wrap along with a anti-rant cup of herbal tea

I've been pushing hard for 8 weeks and eating well...I could take a short break from pressing and the exercises that hurt but ya know the thought of that doesn't really wind my crank or make me foam at the bung.........

[Dontrunwithknives]

Been using it for a couple of weeks DRWKnives but the effects are not as strong as they were at the start. Cycling it may be the go..will let you know :wink:

Yeh I noticed the effects wore off halfway through the tub but I was having nearly 3 scoops every day. I'm off it now. Going onto PlasmaJet on Monday.

[steak]

So I says to the Doc."I feel like a cripple auw!"

The Doc says" waaa waaa you poor wittle broken down 40year old wuss! I spose you want a cortisone injection so you can go and play bodybulders in the gym with your mates?"

I says back to 'im "Yes please kind health professional that is costing me a weeks worth of steak for a jab in the elbow and 20 minute sit in your grubby waiting room full of angry kids and even angrier solo mums reading last years copies of Car magazine and the worn out Womens Weeklys...oh and I got no mates" "They are all meeting at the pub tonight to lean on the bar with perfectly fine elbows and backs"

He says" Ok" and the deal's done...and off I skipped to the gym for a back, hammys and biceps workout.

Light too :cry:

Deadlifts - used to do these heaps when I was training back in the day but what with waa waa issues haven't given them any real attention opting to save the back for squats and duvet aerobics but as things get better will start doing them more and more. So with a sore elbow full of cortisone off I went :wink:
