Nice Ab workout, brotha!...are you noticing any difference in the obliques with the side-bends?

No not noticing any diff in the obliques , I just do the side bends just so I'm not totally ingoring them. But the rest of the abs ... yes I notice a difference. Kind of lookin forward to tommorrows weigh and measure and to the end of this bulk. Can't wait to see what I end up with . !

Have a great weekend ! Hopefully there will be some sunshine . It has done nothing but rain this week.

Hi Miss Jill !!!!!

I use to hate abs too until they finally started to grow . I had to get rid of the cheesburger avi. I didn't want to be responsible for pushing someone over the edge into a cheat.

Don't you like the avi with "Jill" in it ?

No this car is really under priced and if it isall he saysit is it will make a nice turn around car. Plus be fun to drive for awhile until it sells .

Eric,

yeah , we built a 30 x 50 garage for our cars and I took over the 24 x 20 garage at the house for my gym !!

Jodie ,

Thanks ! I hope to look as good as you some day soon.

Glad to see all this dieting hasn't taken a toll on your sense of humour !

gwcaton · 05-29-2004, 07:08 PM

ok here it is :

4 -17-04 5-29-04
Bf % - 5 % 5.75 %
weight - 169 176
lbs fat - 8.5 10
LBM - 161 166
fat change +1.5 lbs

chest - 42 43
bi's - 15 1/8 15 1/4
forearm - 13 5/8 13 5/8
neck - 15.5 15 5/8
waist - 31.5 33.5

thigh - 23 23 3/8
calf - 15 15

Can definetly tell the fat went back to the lower back/lovehandle area ! Even in the pics !

Oh and as always I don't believe that my Bf % is really that low but i use the same caliper and measure the same place , the same way, the same day and time of day so i use the changes as my indicator not the bf% . I use the 7 point method from Bodyfat percentage

Oh and I only gained a pound the last 2 weeks so I will up the cals. maybe try for 7 meals a day .

Look at that LBM shooting up!! 5 lbs! How long are you going to keep bulking? Keep up the good work, man!

Mavs · 05-30-2004, 03:15 PM

Oh, and did you get to test drive the Porsche yesterday??

Thanks for the bodyfat testing website as well!! i've been looking for something like that...the calipers I have just measure based on one measurement on the waist. I'm thinking that it can't be all that accurate!

Eric ,
I usually do everything in 12 week cycles so this bulk will be over at the end of July then unless something changes I plan on goin back to a cut. Getting ready for the big 5 0 next April and my goal is a set of ripped abs by then. Professional pics , the whole nine yards . Just top prove to myself I can do it .

The Porsche is sitting in the garage!!! That sucker does not like to go slow, it is not happy unless it is turnig out the RPM's . It's just a little 4 banger but with that turbo it really moves ! You can hear the turbo whistle when you put your foot into it. I will spend most of the day tomorrow cleaning it up and then post some pics when I'm done. Bought it mainly to turn around for a profit so I can afford to work on my true passion... my 69 Super Bee !

Are you using the accumeasure calipers for Bf ? I have one and was not happy with it and thought that measuring in one spot was kind of not looking at the whole picture. But it measures in mm's I think so it should be alright to use with the 7 point system. There is a 9 point system but I couldn't find my link. I use the 7 all the time anyway.

	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...
