I feel he'll be reliable, and we can push each other... wish he was on my weight level (he's gonna lag behind me on alot of lifts, he's like 5'6" and only 140ish pounds, but he's pretty strong or his size), but i think we'll have good chemistry...
Stoked about it... gives the the opportunity to go for shit i wouldn't before, cause i don't like asking for spots, cause too many morons don't know how to properly spot someone either...
Monday is a new era... back in business baby... should start the week around 200 pounds @ 17-18% bodyfat... gonna keep rolling a deficit until i hit 195 @ about 15%, then start upping my cals little by little until i reach a maintenance level, and then start trying to build some mass back on...
long term goal is to start a full bulk by June - July, and get up to 210-215 by January 1... then start a slow cut (20-24 weeks) and maybe compete in a show... this is all predicated on where i am at at the end of the year... i feel i need to be at 210-215 @ 15%ish...
Then if i can cut down to 190 @ 5%ish, i should be carrying enough mass to at least try my first show... we'll see how it goes, and how my ability to add muscle goes... 15 pounds in 6-7 months is a lofty goal but i think it can be done... even if i only get to 207, i can still cut to 190 even 185 and be shredded... my issue is 6'2"... seems like bodybuilding is not for the typical 6+ footers, unless you're a freak...

Just wanted to revisit this thread and say that a workout partner makes a world of difference...
sucks cause i'll be losing him come January to the police academy... so it'll be courting time for a new bitch here soon... 
He's made some great gains over the last 6 months as well, as he's up to about 148 pounds, and still fairly lean... little fucker is not far behind me on most lifts, but i just use the excuse that he's short and has T-Rex arms... hahahaha...

This forum is fucking dead... guess everyone fell off the wago for the most part...
but January will be here soon, and all they'll all be back i suppose...
Nope, still at it. Started running a bit (see Cardio thread). Still at goal weight.
My cycling partner went away to grad school, but I've gotten so much faster than him that he'd only be slowing me down at this point (nobragdick).
I'm hoping to see a "how we did in 2012: before and after" summary thread sometime in late December.

My bench went way down too, after widening my grip, arching my back some and doing push-ups prior to bench...now I reply on my bitch pecs more and not my back and tris. 225x3 is where I hit Friday. Was as high as 255 in standard grip and less form. ROM was always complete though.
In other news my twig legs still has my squat and deads at shit. Way too close to my bench levels.

I've never really taken any significant time off. Lifts are fine, but seem to have stagnated on the 5-3-1. I seem to always be at the same wall, at least this time, I'm leaner than before when hitting it.
Shoulder is acting up, so I might hit the doctor and look at surgery options. I did a decent bench workout yesterday and afterwards, it just felt loose.

Why did you move to a wide grip...?

My weight lifting has taken a big hit since I started BJJ and MMA training. I train there 4-5 times a week and that takes a lot out of me. My weight dropped into the high 130's and I'm struggling to gain any. I had to compete in the 149 division at 138, because I couldn't make it down to 135.5. I'm getting my diet ramped up and I'm going to hit the weights as much as I can so I can be higher in the weight class come the next tourney.

I'm not lifting at all, rehabbing my knee. I need to get my gym membership activated again next month so I can workout while studying as I will have a great need for that.
