weighed in at 161 this morning. Started taking a pre again after almost a year.... Creatine water weight is a doozy

SO CLOSE

 

Tell me about it. I was at 161 last week (after being at 165 a few weeks ago, before I took a couple weeks off creatine). Started taking Creatine again this week, didn't change my diet, and I'm back to 165 as of this morning. I'm not a very good 165, though. I've got that nice pooch in the stomach. That'll go away in a few weeks when I start my cut and slowly start losing my gainz.

 

That's how I am. I'm usually around 157-160 but the past few weeks on Creatine + excessive poor diet I've been up 10-15lbs but it's not where I want to be. I want to be "big" but this access weight is just sitting on my hips like a fat belt. Now over got curves in all the wrong places. Still maintaining a 10% BF though. I'm going to the Bahamas next week and would really like to shed it before then but it's unlikely

 

This^^ much harder to join that 1000# club with that size frame. You guys are killing it if you join it at that size

 

Mine all goes to my stomach. I mean, I've definitely gotten bigger on this bulk, but it didn't go exactly as planned. I worked mainly on strength, doing low reps, high weight, so I dind't really get as big as I probably could have. Buuuuttt....every bit of the fat I've gained is sitting on my stomach.

 

I've not weighed in recently but I'm probly up 5-10 since last fall..and the wife is making fun of me.

 

I just need to get my squat up. I'm in the club, but my squats embarrass me.

 

My weakness..the belly still sucks badly no matter how hard I work

 

My squat is waaay behind in my opinion It's currently 470# which isn't that much more then my bench. It just doesn't have the years of training on it like my other lifts do

 

335 here, which is also just slightly more than my bench. I was wanting to be over 350 by the time I started my cut...but that's probably not gonna happen.

 

Right now I weigh 170 but a couple months ago when I joined the 1000# club I was closer to 160. Bench - 295 squat - 350 deads - 365. I've been focused on legs the most since then. Mainly because I feel like that's untapped area where I can add on weight without sacrificing looking lean (like the fat I am currently storing over my abs). I'd also just like to be able to squat and dead 400+# bc 400

 

My big 3 are 315 bench, 365 squat, 405 deadlift. Total is 1085...what's sad is I weigh 205. I'd like to be closer to the 1500 lb club at this weight. I started my bulk around Oct at 180. 25 lbs in 4 months and a lot was fat. I started at ~11-12% and am now at ~16-17%. I'm still gonna bulk until I can cut down to 200. I hate being below 200...makes me feel like a string bean at 5'11"

 

Shit, I feel like zach's the only one heavier than me. I'm ~185 but 6'1. Y'all all also have me beat. 305 deadlift, 225 squat, and 185 bench. But I'm fairly new to lifting.

 

I'm 5'8", should've put that in my other post. I hate being short but it does allow me to be lighter and still look big since I've got less bone to cover

 

165 lbs (5'8") at around 13-13.5% BF currently. 315 bench, 335 squat, 385 dead. 1035 total.

 

Didn't someone say they were going to put a feature in this thread so we could list our stats in our little member box on the left? Which mod do we need to talk to? Do any of them even lift?

 

Do you even lift bro?

 

Just send them each a pm " do you even lift?"

1500 at 205 would be VERY impressive, I think the records at that weight class are around 1800 so I personally think 1200-1400 would be more reasonable at that class

 

didnt change my diet or overall TDEE either. Guess before I never realized how much water weight I was carrying
don't really feel the 4-5 extra pounds though, but I'd guess some of these extra gainz are from that.
been hitting clean/jerks and high bar/front squats nearly every day though. Interesting to see how little carryover lobar squatting had to front squats and high bar, but how much carryover the turnaround is.
345 max lobar with around a 295 max high bar and 245ish front squat
up to 325 high bar and 285 front squat, lo bar jumped to 375

I've done nothing but bitched about wanting in the 1k club for like two years in here, so ill finally have to bitch about something else if I get this bench lol

 

bob talked about that awhile back, but stats would only be shown in the health forum IIRC
