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:
"First train the mind, then the body."
Made from all-natural products since 1968...no gear, no prohormones.
I actually started my return to training about 5 or 6 weeks before this photo, but I didn't get serious about my diet until January 2009.
I have completed almost 12 months of training and 10 months of dieting; things have really come together during the final phase of the transformation. One month remains in this transformation period...

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....
Well, hell, it didn't even happen today. I had a crazy start today and it really messed me up time wise. Eh, maybe tomorrow.
You said a refeed day. As long as its not refeed day everyday you're fine.
LOL, you'd be mad if I answered that question with pancakes. That was this morning.
The answer is both though (code and iron) even though I gotta balance out the iron. This new assignment for the past two weeks has been messing up my groove but since all the meetings and crap are over, 2+-a-days will be back in my life again.
How about yourself? Well, not code but students and research. My PT is sick of me and about to discharge me on thursday. LOL, thats a funny story itself.
This is SC checking in with all the hardcore. This is off season for most so let's focus on bieng safe but making those much needed gains. Keep us all up to date with upcoming contests and whatever (PRs) you make. Knowing this keeps us all motivated to do better. Let's give it hell SC!!!!!
