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.

I'd say it comparable to womens bikini in regards to scoring, more natural I guess, but I've seen a few guys that were 100% not natural so who knows. I don't know what they are looking for exactly but I'm pretty sure if you're crazy dry like a typical BB, they take off for it.
My friend is a pro trainer and promotes a show in the spring. I may test judge it for fun. I also need to get around to going to the Olympia with them. The mecca of muscle freaks.

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.

My newb ass is still here, mostly lurk now. I'm building back up to where I was before 3 months of traveling/no gym, plus a tweak back messed up my squats/dl.
Plus it's snowboarding season now. Number one priority is not getting injured and number 2 is building stamina at this point. Just chiming in to make sure op doesn't think everyone's "off the wagon".

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.
