Justin's Leptigen Mass Journal/Thread

Posted by: Eggs

Hey everyone! I'm a part of the Leptigen Mass testing program and this is my journal that I'll be keeping over the next month and some odd days to record my results.

Some basic stats:

Age: 24
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 184
My bf% is around 13-14% right now.

Initially when I'd signed up I'd been a slightly lower bf%, but have increased the past two weeks with not being on vacation. I dont think that will be a hindrance to the testing, I'll lean out my diet and increase my protein intake and decrease my carbs and fats slightly. I've been very strict in not doing any cardio over the past couple months to try and slow my metabolism a bit. It gets carried away when I'm running and it gets super hard to put on mass. So despite the fact that I'm feeling a bit chunky, I'm going to disregard that now and put my calories at slightly above maintennance for the rest of the testing phase.

I think I have about 40 days of LM, so I'll be running the trial for that period of time. Measurements and bf% will be in tomorrow when I head to the gym.

The routine I'll be using is GPs 3 phase P/RR/S program. Thats Power/Rep Range/Shock. I've been using it for the past couple months and seen good gains from it. I think that it'll compliment the usage of LM well.

Oh man! That is some chunky Eggs. Lookin good man, just remember you ARE bulking. I look forward to reading about this new LG.

Posted by: Eggs

Chunky Eggs are nasty... but instead of doing like I'd normally do and hit a diet and increase my cardio (and destroy any LBM gains I've made), I'm going to stick with this and keep in the bulking range for a while. I dislike being chunky, but making solid gains while at a lower bf% and doing cardio is just incredibly hard for me

Posted by: Eggs

Haha, thanks Premier. I'm hoping to be able to throw some really good results at you guys at the end of the 40 day trial.

Posted by: Jenny

Good luck honey

Looking forward to see you rock

Okay, heres a first impression of Leptigen Mass. It might be a little tedious to read

When I opened the container instantly smelled the fruit punch flavor that I got. Smells good

The product itself is an extremely fine white powder with small bits of yellow grains in it. So fine, that when you go to take a scoop inevitably a small poof of powder goes up in the air.

Note: When you get your Leptigen, you're supposed to shake it every couple days to keep it from settling. It says so on the container, but not everyone reads them carefully so I thought I'd mention it here.

I mixed my 2 scoops with 12oz of water... and it mixes well, except I think the small yellow grains that are in the powder might not mix. Not a big deal, if there is any more residue add a couple oz of water and finish it off.

Camaro was right... the feeling you get from LM goes beyond being full. I mean, when you eat... you can still feel unsatisfied and feel like you could eat more. After my first LM drink, I felt FULL. And I mean FULL as in satisfied. I dont feel the need to eat at all. Even now a while after my last meal I dont feel hungry. I just know I need to eat to keep the nutrients coming in. Its definitely a strange feeling, with your hunger satiated so completely. I wonder what LM would be like on a diet with very restricted calories. Probably so, that'd be great for dieters that are tired of the constant feeling of hunger.

My time in the gym went well. I didnt have a crazy pump at the gym, but perhaps they will come in a few days. I did notice my body not tiring so easily though... and in some way I was a bit more focused and I found myself completely looking forward to the next set. Eager if you will. I dont think that came from me, because when I'd woken up this morning a bit before working out I was dragging a bit.

Oh, its dinner time. My body doesnt feel hungry still. Thats okay, it can use the nutrients. More later

I've decided to stop using the smith for squats... so its going to take a while to get used to doing them free. I've noticed that my form has been getting sloppier than I want it, so I'm going to cut weights just a little and go for the best form I can as well. I'll still go high intensity, just with better form

Posted by: Eggs

I wonder if I'll go through withdrawals at the end of the test period. *clenching teeth* Haha, just kidding, its not that bad...

Lookin good Eggs. The smell is potent, is it not!

Still no pump eh? Maybe its the combination of the LeptiGen and the Swole? Not sure, maybe in the future I will have to test this out and drop the swole.

How about bloat, did you get any of that?

Just wondering. Other than that, good work man, keep us posted, and if you wanna chat, hit me in PM.

Good luck bro.

Yeah, the smell is definitely potent. If you open up the container and stick your nose right in it burns the inside of your nose

I got a pump from it... but I think that the combination of Swole and LM creates a much more potent pump.

Quote:

I do feel a bit bloated, but its not bad. I dont know if its being bloated, or just feeling bloated. I just figured that bloated feeling was feeling extremely full from the LM, and not necessarily a physical thing. I have increased weight a bit since being on... I'll post my stats at the end of the week. I'll have to do an early morning weighing to make sure its as accurate as can be.

Cool, I'll hit you with a PM. The testing is going very well overall and I definitely feel like the product is working for me... and its only a few days into it

Oh, just in case I didnt mention this before. When I went to the scale the day I started Leptigen, I was actually at about 178.5lbs. The first number was a guess as I hadnt weighted myself in a while.

Secondly, I stated I was doing GPs P/RR/S program, but I didnt state a sample.

Monday - Chest/Biceps

Tuesday - Off

Wednesday - Back/Triceps

Thursday - Off

Friday - Shoulders

Saturday - Legs

Sunday - Off

Thats it

Posted by: Eggs

Diet and training are looking damn good Eggs. Nice to see another BB here at IM. How are you liking the Leptigen so far? I have been tempted to try it in the past but never actually gone through with it.

Posted by: Cate

Nice work Eggs!

Posted by: Eggs

Jenny -

Thats all I've got to say to you hottie

Umm, not really, I cant wait to see you again so we can snuggle and talk and just be all close

Rock - Thanks bud, I'm a work in progress

MonStar - Thanks! As I said to Rock, still working at it... still have a long way to go. I have the NEED to get into the best shape that is possible with my body, and I'm looking forward to the pain, blood and sweat achieving it. I'm liking the Leptigen so far... I'll be able to give you a full report in a couple more weeks after I've run it for about a month and a week or so.

Cate - Thanks Cate! Keep up the good work, I know you're going to be looking great at your wedding!

Posted by: rock4832

Real quick, what's the leptigen mass supposed to do for you?

Posted by: Eggs

Well, I'll read to directly off the container

Leptigen Mass was formulated with a precise ration of nutrients in order to maximize metabolism and signaling in targeting cells and pathways and minimize in others when bulking. The result is maximum nutrient uptake and anabolism in lean tissue and increased energy expenditure with minimization of substrate through triglyceride formation pathways.

Basically, its supposed to provide you with the ability to have a "clean (and lean) bulk". You can eat just above daily maintennance calories and your body will still react as if you are in a bulk because it is constantly receiving signals indicating that it is in a "fed" state. And it does other stuff besides... its also a volumizer and what not, and contains creatine pyruvate, etc.

Posted by: rock4832

Cool, I'll have to look into getting some then! Wonder if its good for recomping.

Posted by: Eggs

Rock - I'd say that Leptigen is probably GREAT for recomping

For some reason I still cant access their web site so I cant point you to information... but if you go over there they have different pieces on Leptigen

Hey guys!

Burner - Yep, still on track and working at it! Enjoying my time in the gym and living life... and looking forward to being with my amazing girlfriend shortly

Camaro - Thanks, I try to keep my meals well rounded and healthy. I'm feeling good witht he Leptigen. One thing I've noticed is that I have to drink alot more water than usual with it (even more than regular creatine I think). It could really dry me out of I let it.

My weight empty starting off was about 179 (first post of weight was innacurate). Now empty its around 183... so I've gained about 4lbs in the past week. We'll see if that continues over the next weeks of the test period. As to strength going up, check out my delts for example. The weights are definitely increasing nicely. Its like that all around, I'm feeling more sure of my lifts and stronger in them. Stamina has gone up as well

I went to do legs yesterday and got there about 5 minutes after the gym closed, forgot it closed early on Saturdays (5PM.. ). So I decided to do it today. I've been fighting off a little bit of a sore throat the past few days... thought I had it beat, but last night and this morning it was a bit worse. Anyways, I'm going to do a light workout with legs today. (If the gym is open on Easter). I'm just going to do a few sets pretty much, and focus on excellent form and control. I dont want to do higher volume as it'll make my body more susceptible to whatever virus is going around.

We talked about that and your butt is staying out of the gym today

If not I'm going to come kick your butt

That sore throat of yours needs some rest since I'm not there to kiss it all better

Jenny - Wuv wou

Ummm, you wouldnt really come at me would you? I'd hate to kick your butt out in the garden again

Rock - Starting to feel a bit better. Still feeling a bit weak and the throat is a tad bit raw still (+ a lil extra phlem), but doing well overall.

Monstar - I've decided to stay out of the gym while I was sick. It'd put a hurting on my CNS to overextend it right while sick, and it wouldnt be fair to the other customers at the gym for me contaminate the environment there.

Posted by: M.J.H.

Smart move man. I wish that I could do the same thing. For some reason I can't stay out of the gym no matter what, lol. It's like an addiction for me. What are you sick with?

Posted by: Eggs

Not sure exactly what it is... just a bug, probably a cold. Living in college dorms this stuff goes around like its in style. Yeah, I usually cant stay out of the gym too... but I told Jenny she had to stay home when she was sick, so its only fair she can do the same thing to me.

What's up buddy? Still like the LG? Looks like a Good w/o, though it's gotta be tough doing shoulders w/ chest!

Posted by: Eggs

Workout - went for a 20 minute run earlier. It was fun... I'm going to throw in a few short runs a week to help increase my cardiovascular systems performance... and I think it'll help my legs alot too.

Rock - Hey! I'm still enjoying the LM, I think its good stuff. The gains are good. It cant be comparied to the gains that you'd make on M1T or something along those lines I think, but I do think its good stuff and a good investment. My weight is up about 6lbs from when I first started oh, two weeks ago. So thats a good sign

Posted by: PreMier

Up 6Lbs? Damn, good work Eggs!

Posted by: Eggs

Premier - Thanks bud. Yeah, up about 6lbs I do think. I'll have to go get measured and what not. I'm having to fine tune my diet a bit more as I think on LM you need to really be careful not to eat way too much because your body can store it a bit more quickly perhaps. That said, my abs are looking better now IMO than when I started. We'll see how it is after a few more weeks.

I'm almost done with my second container of Leptigen Mass. Each one is lasting approximately 7 1/2 days or so. I projected 8 days, but thats pretty spot on. A little gets wasted by accidentally filling scoops a tad more than they should be, and a little more is wasted when you scoop around in the container and some blows out (because its so fine).

I did get a clump in my Leptigen the other day. It was pretty large. Fortuntely it was just about the size of a scoop so I just tossed it in my drink

Which might not have been wise, because it might have been only a single ingredient or something.

Ummm, and another thing... I wish they'd use just a little bit of tape and tape the scoop to the underside of the lid. I know it sounds like a hassle... but that stuffs so fine that the scoop works its way down to the very bottom and you have to get a knife and try very gently to pull it up without stirring up too much powder into the air.

Good stuff overall though!

Posted by: PreMier

When your done, just put the scoop on top of the container.

Posted by: Eggs

I do, I'm talking about when you initially get it. Since I have a couple of the containers... I only had to fish around in the first one

Then I just kept using the same scoop on the next ones and left the one that came with them in it until I dug down that far

ha! I do the same thing!

Lookin good Eggs

I got my leptigen Basic today and took 2x today. I have my off day Sat, so I will be back on it on Sunday. I'm anxious to see the changes!

Posted by: Cate

Oh yea....and the dust is fine. Good advice on the scoop

Posted by: Eggs

Burner - Yeah, I always hate digging in the protein containers too... I dont know why they dont just tape them to the underside of the lid or something. Pay some kid $5.50 an hour to do it and he can do one every couple seconds... heck, charge the consumer the extra $.05 it costs

Posted by: Burner02

yeah...but that would make sense....

Posted by: Eggs

Thanks Cate!

I hope you see some good results! Like anything though you'll want to weight your results over time... I dont think just one container will make a huge difference, its more one of those things that you'd likely have to take a little while. Alot of my weight gain I'm sure wasnt just solid muscle... its also from a little water retention due to the creatine in the Leptigen Mass. I'll equal out though after I'm done. I guess the pics after the trial is over will be more conclusive... as well as I'll post additional info like a week or two out as my body adjusts to coming off it.

Regardless, I hope that it works for you. Dont forget to shake it every couple days!

Posted by: Jenny

Did I see some oreos in that diet

Haha, I'm glad you're enjoying your bulking

Looking forward to pics

Posted by: rock4832

How long is the bulk for Justin? I've decided to bulk too. I don't want what happened this year to happen next year.

Posted by: Eggs

Jenny -

You're all I could ever need baby

Umm, but I wouldnt mind a few oreos now and then as well

I am enjoying my bulking, but you know, I enjoy my cutting too... I'm going to enjoy cleaning up my diet and seeing the fat falling off one day.

Oh, and

Rock - I'm going to be bulking for a year or two

But with that kinda duration you have to make for a relatively clean bulk. I dont want to be 30% bf at that time... so I need to be practical in my diet. Regardless, I used to yo-yo by cutting every summer andgaining every Winter, and I never got anywhere. So I'm going to bulk for perhaps two years and see how that works out for me.

Cool, your going to be a monster buddy! Just make sure you can trim down in time for your wedding! LOL

Glutes are sore!

Posted by: Eggs

Going to post a few pics... I'm feeling so bloated these days, and I can see it in the pics. Going to start doing sprints 2 or 3 times a week in the mornings for a little bit.

Anyways, the pics..

Posted by: Eggs

Chest - Its looking flabby... but I can see some size increases, and I think its definitely stronger than I've seen some strength gain as well. I've been feeling bloated, and its totally visible that I am. Regardless, heres the pic.

Posted by: Eggs

Side - Can see a little additional width in the side. And not just in the belly

Regardless, it'll be nice to get my waist trim again one day.

Posted by: Eggs

Flexed Back - I kinda just threw this in for fun. I think I can see some muscular improvements in my flexed back over before. I'd like to think so at least. Here it is...

Posted by: Eggs

A few measurements:

Biceps: 15 1/8"

(an increase of about 1/8th I think)

Waist: 32 1/2"

(increase of about 1/2" Whoops)

Chest: 43"

Same

Posted by: Burner02

great shots, eggs! Like the back shot! Good size!
keep it up!
I actually went to the gym today...wahoo!
...

Posted by: Jenny

Back is looking bigger

Posted by: Eggs

Jenny - Thanks Babe

My trainer is still working with me... but I think she'll really help me get there

B - Thanks, its one of my favorite (if not "the" favorite) body parts. I should probably give my shoulders the TLC I give my back, they'd benefit

Good to hear you got to the gym... hows your business coming?

Posted by: Burner02

it's ok...still trying to find the time to get with my buddy and my tax guy to get our corporation put together. I had mine done...my friend...aka..kackass..saidwe should join forces about 2 weeks after I paid out my $ to get my corporation formed...so..if any more $$ has to go out to redo it..he is paying...

he and I may be going to Phoenix this coming weekend to look ito another business oportunity. It's all about the benjemins....

Posted by: Eggs

Thats right... bust out some of those $s. Everything going well on the home front?

Posted by: Burner02

yep!
Kristen gets back form her parent's tomorow afternoon (Nebraska) and she and I are meeting friends @ Applebees for dinner. (geta steak..get a free drink..get a perferct margarita..very good)

gona ust my ass on legs tomorrow to earn it!

Posted by: Eggs

Sounds great bro... one of these days when Jenny and I are back in the States we'll have to meet up. We'll see if I can swing some cheap plane tickets next winter

Doubt it, but its worth a try

Have fun with your girl bro, and of course work those legs hard! Its bed time for me... talk to you later!

Posted by: Burner02

later, Justin!
I get the feeling..if you post 1st thing in the moring..I'll still be here...

Posted by: Eggs

Haha, well perhaps... when is your shift change? Oh, and whats your corporation doing?

Sounds good bro, I'll post a note when I wake up to see if you're around.

Yeah, definitely send me some info. Incorporating is always the way to go... well, depending on the venture. Regardless, it certainly does limit your liability, which is more important than ever these days. Anyways, I'm off to bed for real now, just had to send some love PMs to my hottie

Take it easy bro.

Posted by: PreMier

Hey Justin! Nice picts man. Gaining some good size for sure. Bulk for 2 yrs? Thats a loong time lol

Posted by: Eggs

Hey Premier!

Thanks! I've been working hard at it... despite being sick and what not. Making gains though as well I think

Yeah, I'm probably going to bulk for two years or so. I usually do like 6 month bulks over the winter and then cut, but then I end up loosing all the muscle that I gained. I need to focus on putting on some size first, and then I need to focus on creating a decent diet/routine that keeps as much muscle around as possible while encouraging fat loss

That'll be a ways away though!

Posted by: PreMier

Well, you have a looong time to work on it(routine)

How often do you get sick? Any idea what causes it?

Posted by: rock4832

It's called looooovvveeeesick

Posted by: Eggs

Premier - I almost never get sick... just being in the dorm with this unsanitary mofos got me recently. Other than that though I'm almost never sick, and if I am I generally get over it pretty quickly. FYI and I'm not trying to sell anything, I did notice that when I was on glutamine my immune system was even stronger

Rock - Haha, I'm always lovesick bro

Posted by: PreMier

Ahh... Dorm, that explains it. Glutamine? haha!

Well, ScottTrout takes it along with a lot of others. But I have read some things by David Tolsom(sp?) and I dont think I will be taking it anytime soon.

Along with everything I read, I take with a grain of salt. Only me trying it out, will tell if it works.

Posted by: Eggs

Even if its a placebo it still seems to work for me. I've never really cared if something worked by placebo or not, as long as I got results

Ummm, David Tolson

Posted by: rock4832

I take Glutamine. Since I've taken that and BCAA's I haven't been sick in quite a long time. And I was getting sick pretty often.

Hey honey

What kind of granola bars do you eat?

Workouts are looking massive

Posted by: Eggs

Erm, I'm not sure what kinda they were. They were pretty high carb... but most granola bars are. I think they are a generic kind that my school gets, because we can buy them for $.25 each

Its a cheap carb solution for my protein drinks

Posted by: naturaltan

would you go there for school or work?

Posted by: Eggs

Perhaps a bit of both... I'd like to go there and finish up my schooling long distance so I can be close to Jenny. I have about a year left after Jenny's exchange year is up. But it'd be nice if I could find a small job to work at for a bit on the side.

Another note, you have some good thickness in that new back pic.

For some reason I cant establish a connection to Bulk Nutrition/1Fast...

I've been trying for weeks now, but for some reason theres a glitch somewhere along the way

Oh, and thanks Premier

I wanna be thick like mud, know what I'm saying?

Posted by: Eggs

Got my protein again tonight so I can stop slacking with that

These next two weeks are going to be a little busy... but hopefully not so much that it disrupts my schedule. Just finals

I have a couple papers due and what not. Which is good, so I can relax and focus on my lifting

Posted by: Cate

hey Eggs....stopping by to say

Don't you have any supp stores besides GNC??? I hate that place....overpiced scam

There is this supp shop in the city that is totally discounted ....I love it!

Posted by: rock4832

Hey buddy. What protein did you get? Good luck with finals and all. whew, glad I'm not doing that right now

Posted by: Eggs

Not going to post meals today... needless to say, it was high protein, medium carb, medium fats.

I'll post my routine later on

Rock - I just got some GNC whey. I'll need to order one or two of those 10lb bags from allthewhey or something before I go to Sweden for the Summer

Thanks!

Posted by: M.J.H.

Journal is really looking good Eggs, nice work man. I am curious at this point how do you feel about Leptigen Mass?

Also, BulkNutrition.com seems to be pretty decent for supplements, but I would definitely look into 1Fast400.com. I have never found a site as quick with shipping, etc. as 1Fast400 is. Just an idea.

Posted by: Jenny

You're not allowed to not post your meals..

Oh, that's right, I'm not your personal trainer

Guys, I found the perfect gym for Justin to work out at this summer

It's one of the biggest places with competing BBs here and he's going to get motivated

Posted by: rock4832

Hey Monstar, 1fast400 and Bulknutrition are the same company. Mike changed the name awhile back to bulknutrition

Posted by: Eggs

Jenny - Yeah, I didnt post my meals because they kinda sucked and had too much protein powder via whey and not enough solid foods

If I remember right they were:

Meal 1:
Protein shake
fish caps
* Leptigen Mass

Meal 2:
scrambled eggs
cottage cheese
orange

Meal 3:
Protein shake
*Leptigen mass

Meal 4:
Protein shake
pretzels

Meal 5:
Turkey sandwhich

Yeah baby, I'm really looking forward to that gym and I'm going to be busting my butt hard all summer in there

Thanks for taking such good care of me

Posted by: Eggs

MonStar - I feel pretty good about Leptigen Mass. Unfortunately I dont think I've been getting enough calories so I'm not letting it work to its potential. I'm increasing my carbs and fats.

Yeah, I usually do order through 1Fast/BN... but for some reason I cant access them through my schools network. I'm not sure whats up with that

I'll need to make an order before I go though because I'll need one or two 10lb bags in Sweden this summer

My calves are still feeling shredded from those dropset calf raises I did saturday. Feels good

Posted by: Eggs

My headache from saturday came back full force when I was lifting today. Seems to be exacerbated by having alot of pressure. A friend had some Ibuprofin though and it was a real life saver... made the headache just a dull one instead of splitting.

on the bright side, I made some nice gains

Posted by: Eggs

Chest - Power

Dumbell Bench Press - 6x90s, 5x90s, 4x90s

Incline Press - 6x135, 6x145, 6x155

Weighted Dips - 6x45, 6x45, 6x70

Triceps - Power

CG Bench Press - 6x135, 5x145, 4x145

Skull Crushers - 6x80, 5x80

Single Arm Dumbell Ext. 5x20s

Really good workout overall. Some of the poundages are higher than the last power workout I had... and I put triceps in with today so even though they were lower, I pre-exhausted them while doing chest.

I did have a friend there to spot me... which made going all out a bit easier

Posted by: Eggs

For comparison, heres the last power workout I did

Dumbell Press 6x85s, 5x85s, 5x85s

Incline Press 5x135, 6x135, 3x145 -> D135x1, 6x135

Weighted Dips 6+45, 3+45 -> D 1+45

Posted by: rock4832

Great job buddy! Those are some awesome lifts. Are you breathing when you lift? Or torking your head when you struggle? Sometimes those things will give you headaches.

Posted by: Eggs

Thanks Rock! Ummm, I'm pretty sure I'm breathing... but I might have really stressed a muscle in my neck just from squeezing it so hard. I was giving it all I had and that usually means torquing the body a bit just from the pressure.

It still hurts a bit when the blood pressure increases... so I'm going to skip sprints tomorrow and try and get a full night of rest. I went and had my blood pressure checked today and it was a little higher than normal for me but still in acceptable range. I think a couple of days will clear it up, and from now on I'll just make sure and not torque my neck any when I'm pushing it.

Posted by: rock4832

Yeah, the torqueing does it to me! Why is your blood pressure up? Are you stressed?

Posted by: Monolith

Hi Eggs!

Those are some really nice lifts... awesome increase from the last Power w/o, too. Are you doing P/RR/RR/S or P/RR/S?

Posted by: PreMier

I need to try those dropset calf raises. Looking good Eggs!

Hey eggs, just stoppin by. everything's looking good bro.
thanks for posting in my pics. its good to get advice/critcism/ANYthing that'll help.

and btw, i see everyone around here is starting to really enjoy that LIGHT WEIGHT

Posted by: Eggs

Rock - It might not have been up before I got hurt and thats increased it... or perhaps just end of the year stuff with school has it going a bit higher.

Monolith - I'm doing P/RR/S But sometimes I go P/P/RR/S as I like the power phases

I think its important not to stay on them too long though, 2 or 3 weeks of it and you stop making progress.

Premier - Yeah bud, give them a go... they are still all sore and hard to walk on tonight

Flex - Thanks for stopping by bro... light weight?

Damn...

I dont understand...

It was a compliment. Flex stated that you enjoyed the "light weight" when in actuality it means your going pretty heavy, and doing quite well. Am I over explanatory?

Posted by: Eggs

Haha, I understood you bro

I'm just saying that I'm still feeling pretty small and cant wait to get the big stuff up.

Oh, and Flex... now that I understand what you were saying, Thanks! Still have a long ways to go though to catch your bench

thanks premo, you're saving me lots of typing

Posted by: Eggs

Haha, how was I to know?

Ah well, guess I'd better get some Ronnie lifting videos one of these days...

Was'sup, brotha!
keep rocking! Making great progress...keep doing what you are doing....

Hate having headaches when lifting. had some sinus probls for some time now, myself. had a wierd thing happen to me a couple years ago with sinus pressure, and I don't lift w/ sinus..long story.

I like the 'light weight' analogy.
1st time I tried to do incline bd presses w/ 100'ers...the spotter grabbed one db for me, adn replied, 'Damn, that's heavy'
"NO IT"S NOT!"
I had to yell back to clear the 'negative' statement. Now..AFTER i did my set, I agreed that it was heavy..

Posted by: Flex

DEFINITELY get his vids.

best investment in BB i've ever made. ok, besides my gym pass. and besides Pumping Iron. and besides Arnold's encyclopedia. well, let's put it this way, its ONE of the best investments i've made haha.

honestly bro, once you see it you'll be amazed. he deads 850x2, bent rows 495x8, tbar rows 12, yes 12 plates for like 10 reps, inclines 200lb db's for reps, and frontsquats 585 for 6 reps.....all while yelling "LIGHT WEIGHT...YEEEEEEEEAH BUDDDDDDDDDY........LIGHT WEIGHT BABAAAAAAAAAY". haha greatest thing EVER.

i heard he just came out with a new video too, i gotta get jumpin on that one

its so funny, cuz i always joke around and yell LIGHT WEIGHT at the gym to my buddies...along with many other Ronnie words of wisdom....(its esp. funny cuz of his "Mike Tysonesque" voice)

"Why do we do dis? Cuz its Light, dat's why".
"Dat was LIGHT. REEEEEEEEAL LIGHT".
hahahaha, sorry about the intrusion eggs. burner just got me going haha.

Posted by: PreMier

Yea, his "Mike Tysonesque" voice.

oh yeah....

ALmost became single over the weekend. Seems I still occasionally suffer from 'foot in mouth' disease....
Got it taken care of though..
Yep, just had to lay down the law.
As I was at work, I took a firm hold on the receiver and spoke the words:
HEY WOMAN! I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU! AND YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME!
I'm sorry...

Posted by: Eggs

Haha, yeah... its kinda funny like that. I get the foot in mouth disease every now and then too.

I'd never tell Jenny "Listen woman..." unless I was close enough to put her in a chicken wing so she couldnt move and would have to listen to me

She's pretty fiesty sometimes

Well, I have told her to "just listen" before when I tried to explain something... but I can almost hear her wanting to punch me in the eye across the line

Good man, a little "sorry" can go a long ways

Is your girl as argumentative as mine is?

Posted by: Burner02

yeah....fiesty swedish women....ya can't beat em..

ok, so I didn't say: "Now listen woman!"
that was purely for theatrical and humor purposes.
I seem to say sorry more than she does....women really do rule...(Just don't tell them that)

Posted by: Eggs

Shhhh... women dont really rule, we can get the upper hand

As long as we resign ourselves to spanking it...

and as long as we dont mind cooking all our meals...

and if we dont really want to snuggle with them and enjoy their company...

umm, and if we dont mind the though of a crappy relationship...

Damn, that doesnt sound so hot anymore. Well, I hope Jenny can go for an equal relationship, cause I'm too damn stubborn for anything else

Posted by: Burner02

me too. I don't want to control, and will not be controlled.
I think she is 'jockying' for control of the relationship....

Posted by: rock4832

You gotta break her now Burner and Justin! If you don't, after the wedding you'll be their little bitch for life!!! Lay down the law and let them know who's boss!

J/K

Posted by: Eggs

Yeah Rock, and then we could form a club with you, since you've been there for a while now

Jockeying for control would just piss me off... if it comes down to it, just suplex her Burner

Posted by: Eggs

I took the day off of sprinting. My schedule usually has them today, but I needed a bit of rest time.

Posted by: rock4832

How much have you gained so far? I've gained 20lbs since deciding not to do the comp!
