Wierd to read threads like this. I have uncles in there 60s that are skin and trim and eating everything you shouldn't eat. Then I see younger people that have a HARD time stay under 200lbs. Grandmother is 90 and cooked with lard, high school classmates dropping at 40 with gym memberships posting workouts on Facebook. Hard to put it together. I know my problem is diet, but it's hard to keep a good one working offshore. My co workers(the ones looking like EAC) bring Tina and other stuff to eat from home.
I think it's all in the genetics... if I eat bad for a few months, I turn into a fat cow....
I have chocolate ice cream before bed every night. I eat chipotles 3-4 times a week after workouts when i'm lazy to go home and cook. I eat out with my girl for most meals on the weekends.
I'm not telling you that doing what I do is gonna get you diced up but there are better ways of getting in shape and not having to eat "healthy" foods. lol I hate that bro food stuff
It depends on what somatotype (body type) you are. Generally there are three categories:
Ectomorphs: hardgainers, like you're uncle. Extremely high metabolism. Have a hard time gaining muscle or weight.
Mesomorphs: possess solid muscle structure. Generally have the natural V-taper and puts on muscle very easily. Also has a high metabolism but not as high as Ectomorphs.
Endomorphs: round body type with lots of fat storage. They have an extremely hard time with losing weight due to a slow metabolism.
Most people are a combination.
I've lived and breathed this lifestyle ever since I was 18 and it's mostly about diet, but weights are must in my book.
This is me @ 42 and still kicking strong!

You guys motivate me to go work out now
big weight ......hows your form
Form is good, straight up and down, none of that rolling of the shoulders nonsense, my last two sets are usually 675lbs for 4. I don't use weight belts or anything else to increase my lifts. If I can't do it raw, then I don't bother....
Personally I see no harm in using "belts"......but heck if your core is balanced,you breath well ,and you don't cheat ...more power to ya.at 280lbs and 6'2" you are nearing worlds strongest man territory....albeit one of the smaller dudes:wink:
Yeah, I don't know. It seems belts are good for most, but everytime I used one when I was younger, it would give me a false sense of being stronger than I really was, then I'd try and do something stupid and pull something in my lower back. Probably more my fault than the belts fault..
I only lift heavy when I'm eating alot. :biggrin:
When it's time to lean out, I become a weak little woman.
There are already a few.

Whats up bro? Was wondering when you would post in here

really? competition BF% is a lot drier and shredded than that.
Everyone is average, you turn your body into what you want it to look like. This type of lifestyle just doesn't sound like it's for you.

I thought the same. But when I broke in my inzer belt it is so damn comfortable to squat in. Best gym accessory I have ever bought. I use belts, straps, and chalk LOL(depending on lift). But I'm not lifting for strength.
That'd be cool. I talked about it with jlsnyder on the bb misc before but we thought no one else on prime really was into this sorta thing.
Thank you!
Thanks, and there's no special training techniques, just years of consistency...
Ha'ha! I kind of like that although I would never consider myself anywhere close to elite in that picture, however I do go to extremes to be contest ready in the summer time. (If I should ever get the courage to step on stage) :redface:
LMAO!!
I wish that I could fill that out like you do! Ha'ha!

Not much, and this is the first time I've seen some interest in fitness on Prime so I decided to join in...
Yes, the picture above would be several weeks out for doing a show. This might be a little closer walking on stage in a 'men's physique' class.
Yep, fitness just doesn't seem to be a big interest to most NSX enthusiast.
