Nice new PR. Thats fantastic man

I saw Shrek 2. It was funny as hell! Its a definate must see!

Saphire- Have you ever studied the mythology around Troy? I heard that the movie was a crock of shit, and didnt have any of the gods in it, and lacked major material. "The director ruined this movie, it plays off of violence, blood, and Brad Pitt's body."

I dont plan on seeing it

Ya know... hollywood did take a lot of liberties... but they always do. I did notice the discrepancies but the movie was still entertaining, no gladiator, but still good!

Tomorrow is back and tri's ! Hmmmm something is wrong here , Just going over some of my wo's and I bench as much as i squat. That would be great if I benched 300 or more but as it is it kinda sucks !!!! Doesn't it ? Shouldn't my squats be a lot heavier than my bench ? Won't be too much longer and I might be doing as much as I bench for low pulley rows . Is my strength (s) out of wack ? HMMMMMM oh well. I'll just keep pluggin' along and trying to increase everything as often as possible and see what happens .

This weekend I weigh and measure to see if I need to up my calories. I am putting it on like I took it off . Nice and slow. I am around 3000 cals a day. Which is a lot more than the 1900 I was doing at the end of my cut .

Mavs · 05-25-2004, 11:43 PM

Hey GW - How often would you suggest checking bodyweight to adjust caloric intake? Once a week? Every other week? Hell of an ab workout! Once again, I find myself taking notes! Keep up the good work, brotha!

I'm Trying · 05-26-2004, 12:19 AM

Doing great Gary!! Keep it up buddy!! You seem like you are going on the right track.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

	In my opinion, it looks like you want your outside to look the way you feel deep inside. You know how hard you've worked to get where you are, and the physical expression of the internal strength is why you like the idea of muscle -Kane
