How do you keep motivated to continue working out?

Well, I think others have chimed in with some solid advice, but I can't resist giving my 2c. As a frame of reference to know where I'm coming from: I'm also 35, full time (sedentary) job, bunch-o- kids, single digit bodyfat, and I workout 3x's a week. I don't say this to brag, but to...

Have I reached my genetic potential?

Long time no see Z1ggy! I realize what we all want to look like is very subjective and can vary alot from person to person. However, I think that if you have anywhere near the % of FFM you think you have then getting to sub 10% BF will make you very happy. From your posts over the last couple...

How much do you weigh and how many pull ups can you do?

Maybe you mistook what I was saying. At least that's what I gather from your last comment. That's silly, of course you can't do anywhere near the amount of pull-ups I do regardless of how they are done, I never meant to implying otherwise. Simply put, I believe that most would be surprised...

How much do you weigh and how many pull ups can you do?

Yeah, I posted the video knowing full well that most likely that would be the only thing said. [emoji12] I have a challenge for those of you with criticism of it though:. Try doing a max rep set like that and see how many more you can do. I bet it's less than you think. Also, I rarely do...

How much do you weigh and how many pull ups can you do?

Today I weigh 150lbs, max pullups I've ever consecutively done is 43. I was probably about the same weight at that time though I'd have to go back and check my logs to know exactly. I don't have a video of the 43, but some time prior I jad a friend video me and I think i got 39 on it iirc...

The bible is and was integral into the constitution and the very worldview of our founding fathers. Not sure how you can deny something that is so widely documented.

Double Bodyweight Squat Club: Check in here!

Last week I did 295x5 @154lbs, down to parallel, wearing a belt. Last year I did: 315x5 (on 5/15 @ 154lbs) 305 x 8 (on 4/24 @ 154lbs) Woot, I found a video from last year showing my form. I've since improved my form a bit ( use less lower back now) https://youtu.be/UW14JzjP_30

Stalling on my squat

Personally, I want to look good and be strong as heck. Both goals take time. Being ready to train again is not necessarily linked to muscle soreness, but capacity of the muscle to do work and the CNS ability to activate muscles to full capacity. I train all the time while still sore...

Stalling on my squat

You are painting with some very broad strokes. Everyone's capacity for recovery varies. Personally, mine is low. When I squat or deadlift heavy it's at least 4 days until I'm ready for more. However, I only squat and dead lift once a week 90% of the time and make good progress when I'm...

Steroids, Tren, Clen, HGH, and Dren. Can you get shredded w/out the drugs?

I disagree with most of this. A ffmi above 25, naturally, is not normal and possible only by those with good genetics and alot of consistency. Being aesthetic is mostly about having muscle and being lean. By and large, you will develop how you are genetically predisposed with perhaps only a...

Thanks, appreciate the kind words. Lifting regularly since 1999 with a couple year break here and there. However, was a fat lifter (that just looked stocky) until 2015 when I finally got my nutrition in order. Since Jan 2015, I've trained 3xs a week focusing on primary lifts - squat...

Stalling on my squat

Well, the first question is whether you are eating and resting enough to gain muscle. Regardless of the workout, if those fundamental s aren't taken care of your progress will be slow (or mayne none). 2nd, how much other "stuff" are you doing. Ie, hockey on the weekends, cardio, etc.

Yes, you can be that ripped without steroids etc, but it requires alot of discipline and time. Couple of pics I've snapped, not necessarily ideal lighting which can make a big difference. I consider myself average genetics. First pic was me just walking in from work, took off my shirt and...

Lean Gains by Martin Berkhan

A couple suggestions: 1) start weighing everything you eat and "test" you eyeballing ability. Even being off 20--30 grams here and there can add up to significant calories over the course of a week. 2) since you're having issues with sleep, that's a big concern. I can't over emphasize the...

Z1ggy, I'll respond here for other's benefit. I wish there was a simple answer to your conundrum. The fact of the matter is that you have a lot of variables in your "equation" right now - just to mention a few: training frequency, intensity, food intake - but at the end of the day (as stated...

I've never felt the need to incorporate refeeds like that since I undulate my carb intake through the week...so I can't answer with certainty. However, please keep in mind what I said earlier -- refeeds are utilized under specific circumstances and you may or may not need it.

A few things to note: 1. Carb up days are necessary under specific circumstances and are done when dieting to curb/reverse the negative hormonal effects of a very low carb diet. You *might* fall into this category since your activity level (workouts and hockey) are moderate with a moderate...

Lean Gains by Martin Berkhan

Just based on a quick look at your pictures, and nothing else, I put you around 18-20% BF, which is at the lower end of where you can be and still drop 2lbs/wk of fat. I'm basing this off of Andy Morgan's/Martin's/other sources. However, you stated that you have not lost strength and feel...

Lean Gains by Martin Berkhan

It's difficult to compare this cut with your last one since there are several things that have changed (lbm, tracking consistency, etc) I think you have enough fat to lose 2lb/wk without sacrificing muscle provided sufficient protein and training stimulus. If you are feeling fine I say stick...

I would not be overly concerned about dropping muscle unless your strength begins to suffer. Personally, I vote on ditching some activity (ahem, cardio). 7lbs in 3wks is quick.

Help undo the Skinny Fat hell I'm in

I'm a little late to the party, but figured I'd chime in. First, I disagree with most others on cardio - I don't recommend it under most cases for most clients I have coached.* Cardio does burn calories but you can quickly find yourself OVER estimating the caloric burn and eating back more than...

I agree with koing, unless the person has alot of weight to lose (and thus should easily go down every week) or they have "issues" of getting fixated on scale weight, taking a 7 day avg is the best bet. I started doing this myself over the past several weeks.
