Overall Goal: The primary goal is to not die before the age of 50. The secondary goal is to be huge and not die before the age of 50. Additional goals include overcoming a 13-year layoff to match my best condition by the age of 41. See the blog for details.
Fit Status:
Just one month to go to complete the transformation!
Looking for a way to survive as a kid in the rough streets of east Detroit.
Why I Love It:
Consider your day-to-day life. How often do you truly give 100% effort to accomplish anything? Performing a maximum lift is the closest that one can come to really exerting 100% effort...at least for a few seconds. Few endeavors come close to this level of intensity.
How I Stay Motivated:
I work to exert my will over my body, to crush my own weaknesses, to forge a mind and physique tempered by iron. I sacrifice daily at the altar of hard work without complaint, and pain is my noble companion. I...cannot...be...stopped.
BB Accomplishments:
I'm a N. California High School Bodybuilding Champ from the mid-80s.
Forum Signature:

This varies since I try to cycle my intensity. In general, I do one exercise with heavy sets for each body part, followed my higher reps/moderate weight for the rest. Upper body: about 4-6 reps on the heavy sets, and 10-12 for the rest. Lower body: about 6-8 reps on the heavy sets, and 12-20 on the rest. This type of training induces both neurogenic and myogenic adaptations to strength training.This varies since I try to cycle my intensity.

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
I can go with basics, but I like having options...

What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
Absence of a power rack, seated calf machine, and DBs over 100 lbs are red flags...

It's a cliche to implore someone to try something new. New things are glossy, shinny, and attractive. There is no discovery without trying something new....
Guess what? You were my 1000th comment. I threw confetti all over your living room to celebrate. Don't worry, the cleaning fairy will be there to take care of the mess right away!! Happy Tuesday!
Thank you! I really saw changes when I got more serious about diet. I had to eat much more often and cut out the simple carbs...You, Sir are giant! I'm sure you already noticed that but I had to comment. You look fantastic!
You know me too well. LOL, me and my supp stacks. LOL, I know I keep saying I'm joking about that PT ph.d. (since its the only thing close in my area) but now that you mention it, i'm seriously considering it.
lol, when I finish it all, I'll send it over your way. I think I'm over thinking this though. I still got my 2-a-days in there because I'm just too lazy to do cardio.
Its longer than I expected but after my 6 week layoff, I knew what I was planning was either going to be epic or just over the top. I'm working on the mindmap for it now and I thought it was perfect yesterday but eh, not so much.
Its just alternating strength and hypertrophy work. Yeah ...
My backpack and books are a workout every day...dang....and I mean heavy ... my legs are growing just because I have to walk all over campus and up and down steps...
Thanks for the add. I live in Pa, but I'm working in Mich. But tomorrow I'm off to Iowa for a week or two. I work all over and get to train in different gyms all the time..
1ST,WE'VE GOT TO PICK 2SHOWS SO WE CAN TARGET THEM.2ND,GOTTA GIVE YOU THE CONTACT NUMBER SO WE CAN COMPARE & TRAIN FOR IT.3RD DO THE DAMN THANG!!GMU !!
LMAO, man whatever. Based off the conversations we've had I don't think your moral integrity would even allow you to even think about putting fake plastic weights on equipment and then lift it for pictures.
Unless of course its just as fun as hitting people with the chairs/tables used in professional wrestling. There is something magical about hitting people with fake chairs and not worrying about breaking anything. If its like that, then I guess I really need to try it.
This dude just put all the weight on the hammers and started moving it. Thats crazy. I'm not feeling like doing much math so since it looks like a LOT I'm just assuming its all the weight in the gym.
You know that kinda craziness is bad. It makes me feel like I'm wasting my youth.
