Beer bros butt sex

 

Was supposed to go with one of my buddies this evenin for him to get a 69 Nova but some crap came up and he can't get it yet. I need to get out and do somethin. I don't drink or party though. Lol. I go to work, go to the gym, and come home.

Speaking of the gym, in the gym thread...Tried to rep 275 for 4 again today on bench. Only got 2. Kinda figured I'd have some trouble after no sleep or food.

 

Sack is back?!?!

 

someone had to blow me to get him back. aaron took one for the team.

 

i usually go out riding, or go out to shoot pictures, i also go to the range sometimes but shit gets expensive.


Fucking strong for your size, manlet strength of peace.

 

I weighed earlier at 164. I plan to get to 170 by Dec 1st. Gonna be interesting being out of town for 20 days.

 

I was out of town for 3 and felt like a ran over dog turd....can't imagine how it'd be after 20

 

yea its gonna be interesting for sure. gone for 10, fly home for 4, then back for 10 more days.

The company pays for all meals so food shouldn't be a problem. Just a matter of making time to get in the gym.

 

bruh
teach me your benching ways

 

I was on a resort, gym was walking distance so if I didn't make time, it was all my fault lol

Ill save that routine for the next rotation
coming towards the end of my squat/DL set. Fucked foot and fucked quad meant my dl numbers didnt see a gainsplosion but I got a decent gain on my squat

but I havent benched in 2 months

 

I'm working on the hitch in my DL form before I try for a gainsplosion. Trying to strengthen the lower back and hamstrings for a while. Those have to be the reason I have the hitch.

Also had a random pain on the outside of my knee lately. Not just when I'm lifting, but at work and just out walking around. Haven't been over like 205 on squats in the last 2 or 3 weeks.

 

ill trade you my squat gainz for some of your bench gainz..

 

I'm back, baby!

I'll behave. No more sexy pics

I weigh more than you

by 1.5 lbs....but I'm fairly certain your bodyfat is lower. I'm at around 14%

 

Really watch this guys...

I love Elliot, but I've got to disagree to an extent. How have I gone from 140 to 209? You can make muscles grow. You can't make yourself taller or change your hair color, but you can dictate how much mass you put on, simply by eating more. Sure, it's easier for genetic beasts to convert food to muscle than average people and some genetic beasts even have higher natural test levels than average people, but average people can yield the same results simply by busting ass. The reason I don't Crossfit is because, time and time again, maximum hypertrophy has been proven to come from isolation and compound exercises. I'm not saying one cannot build muscle by doing Crossfit. I'm saying maximum hypertrophy comes from isolation and compound exercises. There's more than one way to get from 'Point A' to 'Point B' and I choose to take the path of least resistance. Also, everyone has a different 'Point B': My 'Point B' is aesthetics (big muscles, low bodyfat). Someone elses 'Point B' may be being fit, so Crossfit is for them. Being that my goal is to put on muscle, I do isolation and compound exercises because that's the absolute best way to build muscle (with a proper diet.) Again, I'm not saying you can't put on mass doing Crossfit; I'm saying it's easier to do by traditional weightlifting and this is why Phil Heath, Jay Cutler, Arnold, Kai, CT Fletcher, Dexter Jackson, Ronnie Coleman don't do Crossfit; their goals are to build as much muscle as possible, so they do traditional weightlifting. Sure, they're on steroids, but I'm sure many Crossfitters are, too. Steroids aid in building muscle, so ass still has to be busted in order to gain muscle, even with AAS.
