Stats for 8/23:
Stomach - 38"
Right arm - 16"
Left arm - 15.8"
Right quad - 25"
Left quad - 24.7"
Neck - 15.75"
BW - 221.5lbs
Havent taken measurements for the past 2 weeks, and diet during that period hasnt been stellar. Had some alcohol a week and a half ago, and the past several days havent exactly been clean. Weight is up a pound from 8/9. Suprisingly, the gut is down by a fraction. Other measurements are roughly the same.

Oh hell lol. I never thought in my life that I would have abs. I take after my dad with lean legs and a gut. If I can get abs, you can Mono. 
Its carb cycling... and its been good to me. Its very easy to stick with, but the results arent quite as dramatic as other types of cuts (for me, anyway). It's good for a recomp.carbchick said:Steady there. Rocker.
what diet are you following, is it carbcycling and how has it not been stellar?
as I'm sure you're aware, inches beat poundage every time
And ive said it before, but you have quite a way with words.
and thanks for the encouragement, guys... maybe im being a bit pessimistic. only 9 years untill abs, maybe? 
PM... are there rules as to the size of tractor? use an old international... one of the farm tractors with those bigass wheels.

Squats were alright. I think im gonna do 2 or 3 more weeks of low rep stuff before i go back to high rep. Im really enjoying this low rep high weight style for legs. I had a feeling my form was screwy last week on the leg press, and i was right. Lost a few reps, but i made sure i was bringing the sled all the way down (i think i was cheating a bit last week). Grip strength felt really good, especially considering i havent directly trained it for a week and a half. Was gonna hit abs today but ran out of time. Havent hit them in a few days either... same with calves... stupid vacation.

Felt good to do BB rows... hadnt done them in a long time. I finally did real t-bar rows, without using some weird fucking Hammer contraption. They felt really good, i like 'em a lot. Pullovers were blah. Shrugs felt good considering i havent trained them in 2 weeks. Calfs and abs were nothing special.

Felt good today. Fairly long RI's... 120-180s. Strength was up on just about everything, although its a little hard to tell because rep ranges and RI's are diff. Overall i was pleased, though.

dear god you're pressing what is virtually my bodyweight on militaries. 
that's about 57% of your b/w, yes? so that's like me pressing 70lb: how effing ridiculous. best I've ever managed was 50lb for 1.5 reps. it's shoulders today though so I'll go for the 70 ... why not.
on the efexor, do you notice better sleeping patterns? I'm having awesome sleeps, like 9 or 10 hours, amazing. I've been plagued with insomnia for the past 2 years. I get more sleep now in one night than I used to get in 3.

haha, when you put it like that, it actually looks pretty good. you should be in the marketing field. either that or a used car salesperson.
with the effexor, i actually noticed some mild sleep disruption at first. it went away within a week or two, though. but these drugs can really effect people in completely different ways depending on how they're wired.

Today felt really good. SLDL's were awesome. Last time i did em, like a week and a half ago, i only managed 275lb for the same reps and had to use straps for every set. This week i added 20lbs, got the same reps, and only had to use straps for the last set. Only major difference is that i had squatted before doing SLDL's last time, and i was fresh this time. Still, im pretty happy with it.
