Jesus J'Bo you just totally read my mind! Your lats are AMAZING TANK!! As well as legs and arms and shoulder width and calves. Ok so your carrying a little extra body weight. sheeit you can loose that in your sleep. YOU ARE the MAN to set my target on for sure. If I can't beat you I will sure as hell look damn good trying. hahahaha



Posted by: Tank316

sad part is , i put that wt on in 1 1/2 months. the age factor is to blame for that though, not me. because in that months time i didnt drink beer or eat pizza or stop doing any type of cardio, nope not me
Thanks for the compliments guys, it helps

Be careful, go extra slow. I already sprained my knee by pushing myself too hard, thus forcing my body into a weakened state that put me at risk doing a simple task like moving boxes. Now I gotta ease back into my leg workouts. Saw your '99 pic recently so I know your potential.

Your workout are exceptional Tank. I'm taking notes (sneakily writing) Your poundage is very much admired here bro. I can't even imagine barbell rows with that kind of weight anymore. Even If my upper back could handle it, my lower won't due to back injury years ago. I struggle just to stay in position with 225.

I think so Tank. Strength appears to be coming back a touch. Adding a few more sets here and there and feeling quite good. Sore alot but that is to be expected. I really don't know much about this 1T but people here swear by it so I' thought what the hey and bought 3 bottles. I'll let you know if I see a difference with either product.

well, its like this, my former powerlifting coach now runs his own bison ranch, a former school mate runs a game farm where i can get pheasant, elk, trout,venison and other wild game. or i can go shoot it myself, which i do alot. next week is wild turkey. also planning a trip next weekend to go salmon fishing

See!!! WhadI tell ya!!! He doesn't have a pic of Stone Cold up there for nothing. lol Your a better man then me Tank. I don't like any of that stuff. Hey you wouldn't happen to have a small amount of bison skin laying around do you? My son and I have to build a TeePee for a school project. Needs to be as authentic as possible.

There are ways around those drug tests Tank. I don't know them but there are ways. lol you like wrestling I see. do you remember Ken Patera the Olympic powerlifter turned wrestler? His motto: "Win if you can, Loose if you must, but always Cheat". I kinda like that. hahahahaha j/k I'm really new to all these suppliments these days. I don't know one from the other. PH's? Well whatever that is, would it be something I should look into also?

***********************8

Thanks for the web site Tank I'm going to take a look right now.


*************************
whooaaa your right very expensive and they don't even sell plain skins. Dang, I only need a small piece. I'll have to get some imitation leather or something at a fabric shop. Thanks anyway Tank.

Posted by: firestorm

Well Tanker,, yes I'm calling you tanker for now on cause a tanker is much larger then a tank. lol Damn man your a monster and I'm afraid of your back!!! That spead is unbeatable so with that said,, I have to come gunning for other bodyparts to defeat you with. I just have to figure out a weakness of yours. Ok and that is the hard part. I really don't see any. When you really start cutting I fear my demise but I shall not give up the ship as of yet. My daddy and my courageous military leaders taught me to always fight to the bitter end so the battle ensues and the bar is raised to a higher level so I say this.......Watch your six my man,,, watch your six because Firestorm is coming from behind the clouds your tail in my sights, I'm switching to guns cause this is going to be close!!!! put one hand on your dumbell and the other on the ejection port cause only one of us will prevail,,,or neither!!!! Oh yep we have other competitors to deal with but I personnally have you in my crosshairs. I'm just praying I don't get flanked during my attack on you. Are you frightened by words of war? Does this gauntlet make your blood run a bit colder? I hope so. I don't take prisoners so get mad, get psyched get whatever you have to but get prepared for our final destiny. It comes in a few short months.
Fire breaks and he is OUT!!!!....(for now)


More SiWarOps(Psycological Warfare Operations) to take place in the near future. hahahahaha

I wouldn't expect it any other way.... If I didn't want you to train harder then I would have taken a more stealthy approach and just keep telling me positives and that my training was going poorly so you would relax a bit but that is not my style when it comes to friends. You are my cyber training partner and my goal is to push us BOTH to the envelope my man. by the way,, keep an eye on Rissole too. He is sneaky and I feel a sleeper for sure. He keeps pretty quiet regarding his acomplishments and you know what they say about the quiet ones. lol

bis tri Sh Wk.
i think on this SH WK, i'll worry about tempo and time rather then
amounts of wts, i'll try to post the wts next Sh round.besides i had a bunch of high school kids in the wt room today, no time to really write amounts down with all the ?'s i got asked.
Again, meals and times will not change, i'm back to working 2nd shift, so this MAKES things easier for me. my sleep patterns have been f@cked up for 2 months now, now is the time to tear it up.
