How does this sound?

bgbay and all bros new and kinda new to this.
Get off the idea of genetics. It does not factor in till you are much much further along then most of us are on here!
I will say that again.

I have a question for you bro. How did your mom look in here wedding pic. My mom is old and fat too now. But bro and to all you bros I gotta say I would of hit her back then and HARD. She was hot!
My dad is old and skinny. But in his wedding pic he is a good looking guy of that time.
Forget genetics unless you are in competitive shape.
I am blessed with structurully crappy knees. But I am 50 yrs old too. So that is the prime factor. I find that with proper medication and warm up and post care I can do squats. BTW I spent 2 yrs in a wheelchair after a cement truck wreck.
My little brother is the size of a buffalo. My older brother was but managed to cut it down by diet alone and has kept it off. And he is a truck driver btw.
My dad is 5'9". My mom is 5'3". Me and my brothers are all 6'+.
Genetics dont mean shit at our level.
Genetics dont mean shit in this day and age really at much of any level cuz of the drugs that we have access to.
My shoulders suck. They are full of arthritus but if I do what I need to do I can lift and lift pretty dam heavy too.
We all have issues. Most of us have challenges that are not genetic. Its called just life bro.
Im not shittin on you or anybody else but the genetic thing is way overdone by all of us.
So what I am saying is get that crap out of your head bro and be what you wanna be. Work hard. Get your diet in control and you will be successful!
Be safe and work hard.

I'm going to work my best at being consistent, I have 6 weeks. The compound movements are the only ones I really like anyway and everything you said is what i'm working pretty hard at anyway. Thanks for the reassurance though. I'm planning on doing the Texas Method I believe. 3 days of compound lifts (will incorporate clean and press) and 4 days of cardio. (not including my mma classes)

Also, I eat approx 6 meals a day, spread out 2-3 hours. High protein,

haha thanks ZedHed, I just seen so many people on here claim "genetics" play a factor in abs, and overall physical appearance. Some people can't achieve a cut look because of genetics. At least I have been doing a lot of reading here eh? hahah thanks for the clarity tho

 

[zedhed]

Now youre gettin it bro. And you are exactly right but I tell you the truth at the level that most of us are it dosnt mean jack shit. You believe that and you continue to study and learn and work and diet and you will be GR8!

[bgbay]

You need to eat more quality carbs and up the protein around your workout. You will lose weight eating like that but lose muscle too.

Pre Workout- Protein Choices (Lean ground beef, chicken, fish, turkey, tuna)
Carb Choices (sweet potato, brown rice, ww pasta, oatmeal)

Post Workout- about 40-50g whey with creatine, glutamine, bcaa, and around 40g quick digesting carbs

 

[bgbay]

so maybe have more carbs with lunch? I might move my can of tuna a little closer to pre workout and have a thing of rice with it.

I usually drink need to build muscle replensiher after workout, I forgot to put that lol
