Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's
yeah it is a semi slow but slowly ramping up. i am sitting in the upper 280s right now 286 dry and around 290-291 at night. staying pretty freaking lean too, i still have lines in my legs that pop and all 6 abs are visible. lower are faded a little bit but what can you do? i feel pretty damn good at this weight too this year and i am not huffing and puffing whenever i am out and about.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's
just for a note to you guys that want to eat big to get big. even i and i can house food as you can see can not eat monster chicken breast at a 1lb at a time when bulking. i tried a little experiment weds-friday this week and it bout killed me off. i did 4 of my meals half beef (8oz) and half chicken (around 8oz, it was actually quite a bit more around 9-11oz). well let's just say i got it all down but i paid for it. it sits in your stomach like a brick. well thursday i said hey i will get 2 beef meals n and then do the rest chicken. nope no dice, just as brutal. so now it is only going to be a meal or 2 of chicken per day spread very far apart. now i am not saying you prob couldnt do it with say 6 or 8oz a few times a day but as the oz start moving up it is brutal.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's
yesterday and today was just 30 minutes of medium level cardio. very very boring but got a lot of people watching done. seen a lot of pretty big dudes with stick legs a ton of guys with cut off shirts and air lats, half dressed hotties and the usual old people. let me tell you my opinion of the big guy with the tiny legs. YOU LOOK ****ING STUPID AND IT IS 10X HARDER TO CATCH YOUR LEGS UP TO YOUR UPPER BODY. it blows my mind people work so hard on their upper bodies and neglect their legs. news flash the harder that you train the legs the more your upper body grows also. one more word of wisdom from me: YOUR TINY ASS LEGS CANNOT BE COVERED UP WITH SWEAT PANTS, BAGGY WORKOUT PANTS OR THOSE LONG ASS BAGGY BASKETBALL SHORTS. you can still tell that you look like you are riding around on a mini chicken. dont be a chump and dont let dick skip leg day haha. sorry for the rant but their are a lot more people out there with a ton of potential but their are either a lazy or b just a straight up ***** ass punk ***** that wont do legs

i will add in broc and other greens in meals without carbs when i can. usually at least 2x a day. bad part about my body is that it is beligerent and doesnt care for greens to much. it bloats me and gives me horrible gas. doesnt matter if it is raw or cooked it still does it.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's
i added in the new sus 350 to the setup to raise my numbers a little and to give it a test run for the man. now keeping in mind that usually when i go with a compound that is over 300 it usually knots on me a little from time to time in different areas. well, i started trying those areas out around the end of last week and i hit both sides and then a hip. nothing, no pip, no lumps, and not even a little bit sore. i even tweaked one of the hits which normally causes a lump and a few days of discomfort and the next day it was like nothing was there. very impressed with this and for all you sus lovers, dont hesitate to pull the trigger on it. and for everyone thinking wtf, i thought guns was the omna master? well that is still the top end base of my bulk and it will not come out. i just added in a touch or 10 of the 350 to raise up my total test for shits and giggles. got to make that food and supplements do work for me

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

db lunges 40-40yards 4 rounds
vertical leg curls on lying leg curl machine (explain below) 30x30 50x25 80x20 (testing these out)
ok on the lying leg curl machine you move knee at the end of the pad propping yourself verical on your hands. your raise the weight up to your ass just like a normal leg curl. it is almost a modified standing leg curl but the movement will be felt in the upper ham/glute tie in area. this of course is a finishing movement.
ok brief breakdown of the last quad and ham day. i had a lady friend at the gym manned up and said she wanted to learn how to properly wreck her legs. she is a little bitty thing and is in great shape already but in a normal person good shape. she wants to bring up her legs and shoulders so she wanted to give it a go haha. so quads monday and killed it. she was in on tuesday and said they were a little sore and tight but she was good. she didnt show up on weds at all cause she said she couldnt walk. she soldiered through hams today like a champ haha and she wont be worth anything this weekend. i killed her again with a moderate workout today. good times

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's
check in on this one daily everyone following along. i stopped putting my daily meals in unless i change something cause i eat the same way everyday during the wk. i change how i eat every other week so i do one day only. i go high carb for a wk and then medium carb for a wk. workouts change every time for the most part also. got to keep them muscles confused and guessing each and every time

that is a fact sir. food is the most important aspect of any program. if you dont stay in a positive nitrogen balance 24/7 then you are just basically spinning your wheels. no amount of training of supplements can offset what food does for the body

i am in my 30s lol been in the game for a long long time. started competing as a measly teen and now trying to be one of the big guys. i always shoot for the supers but i wont let conditioning prevent me from dropping into the top of the heavies. my goal for this year would be to hit the top of the heavies in top condition by the end of the competitive season but we will have to wait and see what my body does as i transition gears

Sounds like a great plan just seems like if you can go from 290 to 225 or less you are a little fluffier than 8-10%. This is a great log and I look forward to following it.

ask anyone who has seen me. i dont carry more than 10% and if i do i back off on carbs and fat and turn the cardio up. i am still trying to find the balance of holding max muscle while keeping razor sharp conditioning. and just as an fyi for everyone i naturally carry anywhere from 10-15lbs of water until i start depleting water. doesnt matter what i eat, what i take or how much cardio i do it is how my body is.

my wife has gotten so in tune to my eating she can eye ball portions to within an oz or 2 max without weighing it. she used to prep all my food and i would say hey did you weigh that? nope dont need to. then i would check it and it would be right on the money or just a touch over or under. she can still do it to this day. she always calls me out over or undereating when dieting too. always busting my nuts. nothing like 6wks out and the boss says you didnt get all the carbs in today did you? nope to full. not going to win with that approach haha
