Good to see your still going MMW!
Nice of you to drop in blackbeard, i need to start posting regular again
BTW, im still training hard. ATM im cutting, i was 222lbs roughly when i started and the last time i checked i was 216lbs. I've finally sacrificed my calories intake to lose fatI dont like the weaker feeling though!
I would like to see your calorie allotment and macro-nutrient break down, Biggie-T.
Goal Weight? Goal BF %?
Lets discuss.
Best wishes,
Chillen
That's good to hear g8, You've basically lifted more than me, as over here it's 220lbs (exactly 100kg) You've actually done 102.5kg
Think im gonna see what i can rep 220lbs at this weekend. Keep it up and keep me informed I would like to see your calorie allotment and macro-nutrient break down, Biggie-T.

Cheers for asking Chillen.
Goal weight is 190-200lbs (depending on how i look and how performance is). I have no idea where my bf% is to be honest, never had it checked! This weekend ill be happy if im at 214lbs.
I've just recently been to see the grand prix for 4 days, it was constant drinking, eating sh1t and abusing my body. I think thats hindered a lot of my progression!
I don't count calories and marco nutrition exactly which i know could be a negative. Protein consumption is quite consistent, i never go below 200g a day. Im keeping low carbs for most of the part, its making me very weak though!
My biggest problem are weekends. Diet usually goes out of the window and lately Fridays & Saturdays have been nights where i drink (a lot). I'm aware my gains will be limited! But it's just how it is ATM!
Well well well. A new thing im into atm is climbing!
Been to the climbing wall a few times now and it's f**king well hard. The relative strength you need for that is A LOT basically. I mean i've got good strength, but compared to my body weight i haven't.
It's a brilliant FBW is climbing, works my core, legs, and mostly arms and fingers. Fingers are the f**king worst.

I've noticed theres loads of fine women who climb! I didn't actually realise there would be many. Im not complaining
You are welcome! How about a break from talking about I would "sticking it in", "I would tap that", I'd bend that over", and talk about your diet and fitness for a trend period in the journal?
I would tend to agree with you. Especially unstructured and undisciplined in the process.
When are you going to get more structured and disciplined to peak your achievements? How many months now? Just being the bottom-line sort of dude, and a straight-forward friend.
You want to get detailed.......and refine your goal process?
If so we can talk.

Big T, still drinkin the brews and mackin the ladies. Well done.
Hahha, I'm still alive and kicking, just hadn't been on here much. I figured I should change that. I slacked on lifting for about 3-4 weeks, would only do it once or twice. I definitely didn't get less active though, been riding my bike like crazy.
I was on vacation last week in Charleston, which is a cool ass city. Spent mass time on the beach which is always excellllllent. Came back ready to get back into my 3 day a week lifting...and I'll still be running and biking a ton, because its summer and it's just so damn fun.

So yeah, I have definitely lost some strength, but really that started immediately when I stopped bulking...my body reacts quickly to eating more or less, which obviously sucks when cutting. Oh well. I'm not really setting a goal right now...bulking just won't happen, I'd have to eat a ton to make up for all the biking and active shlt I do...and really I'll prolly fall from 200-202 where I am now down to the 190s...we'll see.
Anyways, good to be back, gonna go browse the other areas...hope it has picked up some around here. What's up Big T!?

Nice nice MMW, so are you actually bulking then now? I know i've mentioned this before, but have you considered a totally new routine? Totally new rep range/intensity/lifts/ etc. I reckon it would benefit you a lot since i think you've been on the quite similar workout for a long while now haven't you? Just a thought anyway
Right ill start back up again, yesterdays workout.
Wide Pullups
2x5
Chinups
2x5
Deadlifts
3x10 (220lbs)
Haven't done deadlifts for ages, and these really f**ked my forearms.
Pulldowns
3x10
Seated Rows
3x10
Short and sweet. I'll update where i am:
Lately i've been slacking with diet and effort into training.
I've been trying to cut, so through the day i've been having low cal, low carbs, high protein BUT on weekends and some evenings i've been binge eating like f**k which has basically concluded in no weight loss at all LOL. Also the result for low eating through the day made me weak in the gym, but for nothing! Since i wasn't losing weight.
I'm doing some small doses of HIT through the week, mainly forms of sprinting. Also can't wait to get paid so i can get climbing again!
I'm drinking tonight, but NOT Saturday. Trying to get it back down to 1xweekly.
I WILL GET BACK ON TRACK.

I also did 30 minutes cardio on the evening on my rest day also. ^^

1x10 (99lbs)
1x8 (110lbs)
Also did 3 sets of curls & extensions.
