WHoah TP!! :thumb:
The legs look AWESOME. You can really see the muscle has packed on! I hope I can get the same results like you and NOT gain too much fat!!:grin:

Do you do any cardio during your bulk? (Sheesh DP/W8!....I am just ASKING :p )

I didn't even do cardio when cutting! I hate cardio. I think I am allergic!

Thanks for the compliments Les and Kuso. I agree Kus, you can see the improvement in the legs and everywhere else I am just fatter!

Oh well its only 6 weeks right? Plus me thinks after these next 6 weeks, I'll really show some gains!

Kuso, can you post my old quad next to my new quad pics?
 
I am just seeing red Xs???
 
Nice work on the legs TP:eyebrow: !

Also, nice peak on the bis! Looking good!:D
 
Thanks Moch. The bis are, IMO, one of my worst BPs, but I'll take the compliments!

Yesterday's Leg W/O

Wednesday, October 30, 2002

Weighed in at 211 this morning, felt and looked pretty lean too (relatively speaking). Did not feel that strong today, but the leg workout was better than last week. Like back, I increased reps and/or weight on each set, but they were increases that could be attributed to other things, like simply a normal progression, the increase in food especially protein, or the simple fact that I weigh more. Next week should be quite interesting. If you compare my four sets of shoulders though, I was SO MUCH stronger this week. Hmmm, wonder if I am getting significantly stronger in the pushing exercises for some reason. BTW, regarding the 1-test, I don???t FEEL anything. Don???t notice anything ??? other than the strength increases.

Lower back was killing me today. I think next week I am going to have to move legs before back, the deads really hit the lower back hard and by the end of the leg w/o its seering. Back is nicely sore today, and even my bis feel a bit ???tired???, if you know what I mean. Can???t wait to do barbell curls on Friday. If I am feeling good I might try 185 and see if I can get a rep (never have before).

Damn......most muscular pose is definitely my fav. Look at those traps!!! HUBBA HUBBA

Wow, I really like the gains TP. You're looking great!!!

I still wanna see the ""HEAD"" though!!!!

;)
 
TP.....it MAY be because of the site currently changing servers.....everything is a little screwy right now.....should be fine within about 24hours....if not I`ll re do them and see if that helps.
 
Looking good man.

Did you take any measurements to go with those snaps?

BTW what time is it there? Cause it's nearly 4pm over here (so i'm guessing 11am over there) and already you've ate 3000kcals?!
 
Here are my measurements take immediately before those pics -- again which ere taken the night before starting 1-test:


Weight 208
..................................L..............R
Arms........................16 3/4.....16 3/4
Calves.....................15 3/4.....16 1/8
Stomach........................39
Waist.............................37
Quads (lower)..........19 1/2.....19 1/4
Quads (upper)..........25 1/2.....25 1/4

Yes its almost 11. That includes everything I am going to eat today (cuz I brought it to work, plus my bedtime shake) EXCEPT my dinner. I punch as much in as possible so that I ensure if I eat that I will be getting enough, but not too mant cals.

BTW, weighed in at 211 yesterday and 214 again today. My new range is officially 211-214 (remember I started at 205-208).

Ah, so you haven't actually eaten most of it yet?

IS your waist really that big? In your photo it looks like 32"-34". Or did you measure in cm?

And where dod you measure the 'stomach'?
 
Yeah, I know, I was embarassed to post those numbers! My waist is always bigger than it looks for some reason. I guess thats a good thing. Its the way I carry the weight, I think. I tend to have a blocky midsection, even when I get real lean.

The stomach is basically measured around the fattest part!
 
My fattest part is round my navel, which is my waist.

Any fatter than that is my hips which is bone structure so i don't measure it.

What you consider waist, I consider stomach than. Waist for me is the top of your pelvic area, where your jeans fit. Its mostly bone structure but it changes with BF levels.
 
I've read a definition somewhere that round the navel is the waist for a guy. The hip measurement only works to a certain extent. Once your leaness is low enough so that all you're measuring is the bone, no matter how much leaner you get (if, at that point it's possible without dying from disease or infection from such low bf%) the measurement won't change, cause the bone size is fixed.

But it doesn't matter cause all we're only really concerned with how the number changes. :)

Incidentally, since i brought it up, did you know that people never die from starvation? Interesting, eh? Disease and infection kill a person from the weakend immune defence they have from such low bodyfat levels before starvation kills them.
 
Hmm, and I thought around the stomach was where you measured a women's waist (since thats where the jeans lie). Oh well. Learn something new every day.

And know, didn't know that interesting tidbit re starvation. Is that true even if one does not slowly starve? In other words, if you are at say 30% BF, and you stop eating (but keep hydrated), when will you die? In a week? Or much longer as you waste away?
 
TP,

you're makin fuckin awesome progress man. Keep it up i'm curious as hell to see the before/after pictures at the end of your cycle.

Also re: the starvation i'm pretty sure you can survive a few months without food (it would probably vary depending on BF), assuming your getting water/oxygen of course.
 
Thanks Yan, I actually don't see much progress (except legs), I only see added BF, as compared to my cutting pics which are at the beginning of this journal.

And I too am looking forward to see the post cycle stats and pics!

Well if they're 30% they can live for quite a long time before they'll even realise it! (haha not quite, but you know what i mean - 30% bodyfat is obese for men - that's nearly one third of their mass composed purely of FAT!)

But yeah, i don't there's one record of anyone actually dying of starvation that wasn't disease/infection related.

Although maybe i've mixed that up and it's really that there's a higher percentage of people who die from starvation reasons due to illness than lack of food. But i'm sure i got it right first time round.
 
oh yeah, TP/Rob can you guys check out my journal i'm having a little conundrum.
 
Great arm w/o this morning. Won't post all the results now (I won't be on much the next few days) but here is a sample:

Barbell Curls........week 1........week2
............................135 x 9.......145 x 10
............................135 x 6........155 x 5+1
............................135 x 5........135 x 10

Those are some significant gains, much like my chest week earlier.

Next week will be particularly interesting to see if the strength increases again, maintains or declines.

Here are some things the strength increase COULD be due to:
- my increased weight
- added strength due to extra water retention
- the increased cals, increased protein, increased carbs
- most likely -- my CNS getting used to this workout -- I rarely do the same w/o 2 weeks in a row and this 6 week plan is the same

If the increases, however, are AS dramatic next week, then it HAS to be the 1-T.

BTW, got impatient last night and took 2 quick measurements.

After 10 day my waist has increased 1 inch and my arms have increased 1/2 inch. I suspect that all of this is water retention -- unless, the stomach increased an inch in the first coupla days due to stretching, and the arms have increaded steadily throught. When I take full measurements after 2 weeks we shall see.
 
Nice!

But i gotta be honest, personally, i gauge arm growth by rowing and pressing progression over curling or extention progression.

But that's just me.
 
Really? Not me. I get little arms involved in those (relatively speaking), whereas the curl, obviously, is all bi.

I am hoping to curl 225 for a rep at some point. I have not even been able to curl 185 though.
 
Did heavy shoulders yesterday. Felt good. Worked up to 224 for 4 reps. Felt nice.

Glad to have a day off today, its been 6 in a row. I might even miss chest tomorrow, which'll just mean that I do it on Tuesday. Then I'd have to bump my thursday small BP w/o to get all the major groups in. Oh well.
 
Damnation!

You overhead press 4 more lbs than i bench.
