Sculelos Madcow 5x5 Journal

My 10yr old son eats more than that. 7k isn't too much for a lot of guys. I know ecto's that weight 205 and if they dip below 6-7k in cals they shrivel up. I also know guys at 250 that can maintain size on 2500 cals - everybody is different.

I just didn't want to be the one to say it. Haha... I would waste away pretty quickly on that diet.

Another thing to all the volume "magazine" routine guys. Dave built his physique using heavy weight on compound lifts. Look at his arms... They are proportional to his body. I doubt he did 21's and drop set dumbell curls compound setted with 1 arm isolation cable curl bull shit. Stick to the basics and blow by all the misinformed people of our generation.

I am the exact opposite, I gained 29lbs on 3K-3500 cal a day on cycle!! Some of that was even some fat.

You just have to take your time and find what works for you.

Dave trained westside! Probably still does.

That's Dave Gulledge. A powerlifter...

Hope this inspires you Sculelos.

Well, if it doesn't inspire Sculelos, it sure as hell inspired Azinine! That's definitely my goal; to be strong as fuuuuk and have the ability to cut and look good (if I wanted to). Very impressive. I would love to see a pic of his legs after he cut.

I didn't see pics of his legs after he cut, but you can see in the before that they're huge. You can still see the muscles in the quads and his calves look like footballs!!!

Exactly! That's why I was interested. Oh well...

Yes, i know this but i was making the point that he attained all that muscle with the big lifts and is proportional when dieted down. That family does have some great genetics to boot. His little brother deadlifted in the 800's i want to say when he was 19. Smoked it too

Yep. There are old threads here talking about Dave benching 700. There's one about Kyle (his brother) and about 4 other guys in a "race to 500" (bench). There's another thread about Kyle pulling 800 lbs. @19 yrs. old. He also benchd 510 in the same thread.

David Gulledge definitely had an impressive transformation. I want so badly to get back to the gym but I got something simular to bronchitis right now although I don't think its that. Either way I'm hacking up green shit and my nose is running like no other. It's making me feel like crap.

I will keep going, I've just been stuck with a bad string of events in the past few months that has been messing me up. I'm sure everything will get back on track soon as I can't possibly keep getting hit with sickness and other things beyond my control.

The will to persevere under crappy circumstances is sometimes a very important quality to have.
