fufu · 06-23-2006, 09:23 AM

Body has it cycles sometimes you have good workouts, sometimes meh. I wouldn't really worry about skull crushers seeing as it is an isolation movement anyways.

Brutus_G · 06-25-2006, 12:45 PM

Lol your right. I dont know its like my grip is my weak link.

Brutus_G · 06-25-2006, 01:56 PM

Pics of week 7 weight=161 bf=7%

Brutus_G · 07-01-2006, 04:12 AM

Sry for the long time no see. I still wont be back on till tuesday i think, but im updating from a library comp. Bf=6.86% for week 8. The irony that my abs are gonna be last to lean up is very annoying. My thighs are very lean same with my calfs but my abs look avg.

fufu · 07-01-2006, 08:06 AM

God jod so far, you'll get there.

nsimmons · 07-01-2006, 09:51 AM

I see no veins at all, You sure youre measuring properly? BF% has to be much higher.

And why are you cutting? Youre plenty lean, start pigging out and put some muscle on.

**CowPimp** · 07-01-2006, 06:54 PM

Just breezed through your journal briefly. Looks like you've come a very long way. Excellent work thus far.

Also, when do you move to Baltimore? Maybe we could grab a workout sometime. I'm about 40 minutes south of Baltimore.

nsimmons · 07-06-2006, 05:19 AM

I dont understand why you want to just see your abs, then start gaining muscle and have them disappear again?

fufu · 07-06-2006, 08:38 AM

Your lifts still look good. When I took a week off when i started lifting weights it would set me back, but after a few days I would be stronger than where I left off. It'll be good for you in the long run.

Military presses/push presses seem to be your strongest point thus far. I would start training grip if you finding the bar slipping.

It allows you to stay lean and gain more muscle. the leaner you are the more muscle in proportion to fat will be gained on a "bulk". Also low carb diets will make you feel better and more energetic after the first 2-4 weeks, reduce joint inflammation,and will raise self esteem by making you look better try it.

I have, i feel like total shit with bad workouts on a low carb diet tried that last summer, no thanks. Fill me full of rice. 200g a day keeps me happy.

I dont agree with your plan, but i do give you credit for sticking to it. Whatever makes you happy.

Thanks for insight man. I hope im like you

(in deadlifting and in taking weeks off lol).
It's cool beacuse my shoulders used to be my weakest point, i guess the high freq stuff from Chad waterbury really works.
It's just that i train grip 5 times a week. I do deadlifts and rows on lower body and i do pullup/chins and shrugs on upper body days. my grip always gives out on the shrugs and deadlifts and it seems like my forearms are always sore. what would you do man?

That's cool. How old are you?

Sometimes you will lose a little off your lifts; it depends a lot on your training age and state of training when you took off. If you did, it will come back very quickly though.

Brutus_G · 07-06-2006, 11:13 AM

Im 17 and 5'9 i think/hope lol.

I do things like static holds with dumb bells and gorilla hangs. Atleast I think it is called a gorilla hang, you just grab a bar and hang there for whatever amount of time, weighted or unweighted.
