you should do snatches naked, that way you get some free air condition on your balls when you drop down fast under the bar :D It's something I've seriously considered doing myself..

All i can say is that i'm jealous of how you can squat, DL etc without no form of injury! :p

Good numbers as well, keep it up!

thanks bigtom. i have been injury free for a while now, with the exception of a few minor hinderances.
however, i did hurt myself in both the squat and deadlift before this. my first deadlift injury kept me away from the iron for a year, and my squat injury put me out for a good while too.
i learned from both of them and i am constantly trying to remind myself not to push myself too hard to the point of injury. its not worth it. :]
i have to watch it on my snatches xD

and karky.....LOL
 
Proteinboy;378065 it was not easy said:
good for you, I wake at 4:30am for work, I sleep in on weekends until 6am my dogs get me up then I walk them and feed them and around 7:30ish will deadlift or squat, then walk them again, then cook breakfast around 10ish
(eggs w/cheese, lots of potatos with lots of onions, pancakes, toast everything).


lastest-
deadlift 320x13

squat 175x46, 177.5x48
oh yeah this getting real fun, 180x50 should go fine!!!, can't wait!

yeah; i should really take it easy especially because i dont have bumper plates or a platform to drop it on...
i might take them out completely...the risk is relatively high for the benefit they can produce under the circumstances.
they are just fun

but thankyou for the heads up...i really did get lucky
 
weight this morning: 170.0
this is great. il probably keep bulking until im 175, meaning a couple more months depending on whether or not i take creatine mono
if i take creatine, il probably go up to 180 lol thats fun, but very rapid and suprising.

im very glad to be 170 again. it has been 2 years since the last time i weighed in 170.

anyhow, i start my training again tomorrow.
i have taken 5 days off so far and it has been very neccisary for recovery. i feel much better, and cannot wait to get back at it tomorrow!
 
lol, well for this bulking "cycle", by the time i am 180, i will have a good amount of mass gained and my cut will be "worth it".
considering that i am a part time athlete/guy that wants to dominate at everything, being lean means more efficiency.
for example, i can squat over 300lbs, but my asian friend who weighs 115, and squats 145 can run faster than i can because he is soooooo lean and agile.
he can also jump very high because he is very lean.

i know that i would benefit from bulking up another 5-10 lbs, but once i hit 180, its time to cut down and make it show, and get killer efficiency!!!

Yes, another Asian representing... but 115 lbs... wtf... you should squash him like a bug.

There is always a trade-off PB and eventually, you will have to make a decision. Big and strong where you are slow and slightly flabby OR Lean mean machine with veins popping model like but somewhat weak and moderate endurance due to lack of carbs OR Lean with endurance + quickness but you would not look as nice in clothes (vs when you are big) or naked (vs when you are super lean), think jack of all trade and master of none. It's a tough choice but one that time (or the lack of time) for training might dictate for you. Either way, you are wayyy ahead of the game in term of health and physique; keep it up.

Oh, have you tried training with some collegian or really good HS athlethes (guys or gals). They are another breed. My ex-gf used to run track in college and she'd set the threadmill at 10 mph and jog for an hour and said that was too slow....

yeah, iv been trying to do a slow bulk so that i dont add body fat so that i can be more efficient. i am in the double digits though; i am not that lean.
kevin(the asian) is around 6-8% body fat...he has no fat anywhere. he does no training and u can see his six pac.
anyway, i would like to be 8% bf, but probably not lower than that. iv seen pictures of the same person at 6 % bf compared to at 10% body fat(pics taken during a cut). personally, i think people look better at the more normal body fat %...around 10%, 6-7% leanest. lower than that, and the veins and vascularity are kind of too much IMO.

anyway, your right man. i have trained with top high school athletes, but not colelge athletes yet. im going to be a freshman soon, so i will be though. im going in with a decent amount of exp, and mayb i will even join powerlifting or olympic lifting in college!

135x2x5
185x8
205x8
215x8
got way stronger at these. used to be doing doubles with 215

BENT OVER ROWS
4X8 @ 135
2x5 inverted ladder rows

MILITARY PRESS
5 @ 95
5 @ 100
5 @ 105
5 @ 110
bumping up the weight 5lbs next time. either that, or doing 6 reps for all sets. then 7. then bump up weight and repeat.
which one do u guys think? :]

POWER CLEAN
2 @ 135
2 @ 185
2 @ 185
bumping this weight up gradually too.

PWO: USUAL

thoughts: i used 60-90 rest time on all sets. mostly 60-75; it made the workout much more sweaty and the pump really kicked in. felt really great. im planning on keeping the rest under 90 seconds excluding the really heavy strength sets.

how Tall are you PB and your current weight + guessmation of BF?

I found a formula from a book that helps calcute the maximum LBM (naturally) that you can have based on height and supposely it's very accurate. Would be fun to calculate your LBM_max as well.
 
you'r reading maximum muscle too? nice!
i read that part, but i didnt calculate my LBM
I didnt feel like doing the math....its summer lol
i weigh 170
im 5 foot 8, or 68 inches

im probably 10-12 percent body fat. :]
