Understandable

I found a bunch of older ones. lmao I look pretty lean in a couple. I seem to have grown pretty damn proportionately.

I think this was right about when I started getting into nutrition.

I ran alot but never get very lean.

This was about as lean as I got a couple months later.

A couple comparisons.

2 years ago?!?!

vs.

I have NEVER come close to a 90lbs Hammer curl LOL!!!! Your doing awesome buddy. I decided to back off the "heavy" for a bit and focus on really building what I want to build (as you've done!) Your doing a great job my friend.

Luke95 · 02-25-2007, 07:19 PM

went out and spent some time with freinds. It's been a while since I've been able too....

DOMS · 02-25-2007, 08:22 PM

You're looking damn good in those pics, Luke.

You're an inspiration. And I don't mean that in some corny, meaningless, way.

I wish I could take the credit. Most of it is due to a medication I started a couple months ago I think. It makes most people gain weight. I kind've took advantage of that.

Ironically, I don't like this med. And I'm trying to ween off of it.

Hey Luke! Just to let you know I've been lurking

Your seriously looking great! You've added some decent size .. if you don't mind me asking what 'drug' is it that's helped you gain this weight?

PS your Rows are looking Mighty strong!! (not that anything else isn't either .. 90lbs hammer curls?! )

Hey Tom

An atypical Anit psychotic called Seroquel. I was diagnosed around christmas with Affect Schitzophrenia.

They are changing their minds now though. I have to go for some neurological tests.

Tom_B · 03-06-2007, 07:23 PM

Guh .. I'm sorry to hear your going through that Luke .. my best wishes are with ya man. Here's hoping your tests go well ..

But hey at least your looking at the bright side of things (the weight gain) ! I can't wait to see what kind of numbers you'll be lifting with your legs!

I did some 405# DL's today and they went rather easily.

Luke95 · 03-07-2007, 04:38 PM

Then I tried stacking a 20#db perpendicularly over the 125 for more weight. But the diameter of the 20# wasn't great enough so I went with the 25#

DB Pull overs
125 x 5 x 5

Tom_B · 03-07-2007, 05:13 PM

Damn Luke. Just got caught up with your journal. I've been so busy lately, I hardly have time to update my journal, let alone read others.

You look great, and your weights used are awesome!

Luke95 · 03-08-2007, 06:58 PM

Thank you JD! I appreciate the kind words.

Luke95 · 03-08-2007, 08:21 PM

i hate the way these boards make me feel. I'm out. Take care everybody. Maybe I'll see some of you guys in a year or so.

Here's my photo book mark for this year.

And I leave you on that note.

	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...
