Light day
CGBP: Barx10, 120x8, 145x8, 165x8*

DB Decline: 65's for 5, 75's for 7, 85's for 4*
*I was toast- weak, need food

4:05pm


Cardio: 10 minutes treadmill walk @ 3.7 average speed

Got right over to a sub shop and get a large grilled chicken to inhale... ate that about 30 minutes ago now.

BW: 225.5lbs

And I don't feel fat, i'm not real bloated. I felt small in my shirt today. Could be cuz i'm a little flat (muscle wise) from not eating enough. Homeostasis has set in around 220lbs that's for damn sure... time to add some weight soon 250 here I come

Congats on the two-plate...bodyweight? You and BiggT might have to exchange wardrobes when he's down to 225 and you're on your way to 250.

Settling on one OHP variation seems like a good way to go.

Thanks CS!

Yeah... that's one thing I'm not looking forward to but I'm going to do my best to make it as much lean gains as possible and probably be up around then (240 at least) by next summer or sooner.

BiggT what size shirts you wear that fit loose/comfortable at ~250? 3X? When your not going out to the Roxbury and trying to impress the ladiezzzz with the disco polyester

I already have a few 2X shirts... I'd be swimming in a 3x if I tried one on I'm sure at this point.

Pants... fuggetabout it, I don't even want to think about that, LOL. I'll need a tailor on call.

36" Waist... I was hesitant is typing this. I wear 34 pants fine, 32's don't fit cuz of my glutes and thighs but I can button them without doing "the jig" and laying down. I'll ignore this number, lol.

LOL NICE A guy that jigs in his pants... I think you are the first man to admit this!! Good job :

Instead of worrying about finding pants that fit, you could just claim a bogus Scottish ancestry and start wearing kilts.
