Yeah, mine was 19" and I wrestled at 171 lbs.

I think mine is still around 19. I wore a shirt with an 18" collar to a wedding and it was super tight. I'm just fat right now though.

I let Quinn have a taste of some fresh pineapples today... His facial reaction said it all.

Since I didn't get a chance to say it at the gym, I would like to publicly announce that d7freestyler has good squat form.

7/21/2010 10:58:53 PM

and he let me lick the wrapper


pat you're good dude !!!!!

7/21/2010 11:01:08 PM

Just got back from Europe... back to the grind again. I hate how obese this country is, after seeing honestly 6 obese people in London, Paris, and Barcelona.

In other news, I'm moving to N.C. on Monday.

7/22/2010 1:02:40 AM

Welcome back! Just in time for some fried squash!

7/22/2010 1:22:38 AM

^^While true, the people here are just skinnier. Everyone in the gyms is tiny and skinny. I look and lift like a Goliath compared to them

7/22/2010 3:42:05 AM

Some days I feel awesome working out and feel like I get something done.... today was not one of those days. I felt like crap this morning working out legs. My legs are shaky so I guess I got something done, my head just wasn't in it.

7/22/2010 7:21:14 AM

i've been exercising without a real set plan, rather I just listen to my body...if i don't feel like doing legs/etc I either don't go or train a different muscle group...never enter the gym thinking you're weaker/vulnerable or you will be weaker and vulnerable.

7/22/2010 7:46:50 AM

I've adopted that method as well. If you're not going to be fully into the workout that day, feeling weak or tired, more often than not you won't get a lot done and you'll perform pretty miserably. Sometimes its been to the point where I drift out of it/daydream between sets, and when I snap back to it I realize I'm just too out of it to continue with any real gains and I just leave.

Sometimes you do have to flat out force yourself to the gym, but there's a point where in my opinion its not worth it.

7/22/2010 7:58:30 AM

I went in there ready to push some weight but after doing squats I just felt weaker than usual. My foot started to hurt so I didn't want to over do anything. I made up for it on the leg press though.

7/22/2010 7:59:58 AM

I apparently dropped 4 pounds pretty suddenly at the end of last week. I usually lose weight in chunks, but never that big (because at 110, that's a lot). Plus I can't entirely figure out why, as I hadn't changed much about my diet or exercise (and am done with Insanity so it wasn't thanks to that). And I was averaging eating pretty close to maintenance level. I was starting to really think my scale needed new batteries. But it seems to be legit. I'll take it. And I know I haven't posted progress pictures in a while so I'll take some tonight.

7/22/2010 9:10:32 AM

help me with my (vegetarian) diet! i need to gain atleast 10-15lbs before oct.
right now, i dont eat regularly, sometimes i skip breakfast (if i wake up late...which is most days), sometimes i skip dinner(i am too tired and go to bed early)

7/22/2010 9:36:16 AM

Muscle weight or just weight in general?

Muscle weight...I'll let some of the 'experts' on here help you out

Weight in general...late night carboloading

If you can't can 10 pounds in three months wolfing down pepperoni pizzas right before bed, everyone else here hates you and your ten year old's metabolism

7/22/2010 9:38:12 AM

^^Eat a lot beans, learn to cook Indian food.

I pushed myself really hard at the gym yesterday, got a good night's sleep and today I feel physically exhausted. Additionally my arms, chest, and shoulders are sore today.

what a great feeling!

7/22/2010 10:00:32 AM

Did all the hydraulic machines yesterday. Things are CRAZY hard.

I'm pescetarian and have no problem gaining weight. Load your diet with healthy, calorie-dense foods. Peanut butter and almond butter are high in calories and protein.

Add avocado, nuts, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to your meals to up the calorie count in just a couple of bites.

how can I manage my love of chocolate with my love of looking sexually attractive? HELP!

7/22/2010 12:26:46 PM

Just don't buy chocolate. The easiest way to stop eating junk is to stop buying it.

That said, very dark chocolate has some health benefits. Antioxidants galore!

Sounds like a deal in the short term. But healthcare is more expensive in the long run.

7/22/2010 12:32:16 PM

I have severely cut back on eating of junk food and the visual queues are motivation enough to not do it so much

i just have a cheat meal once or twice a week

my metabolism is in overdrive now

7/22/2010 12:35:01 PM

Wine is my cheat. I have to be careful about nutrition because I'm getting to the age where I'm noticing changes in my skin and hair ... so vitamins and nutrients make a huge difference.

You can be skinny and eat garbage ... but your body will suffer for it.

7/22/2010 12:36:58 PM

pics?

7/22/2010 12:41:30 PM

Sry boo, nothing recent. Been slackin' on the documentation.

7/22/2010 12:45:26 PM

They make fat free Breyer's ice cream. It's pretty good.

7/22/2010 1:52:25 PM

the sugar free is better for your macros, if you must have it

^ nice!!

7/22/2010 10:16:28 PM

I think tomorrow Quinn and I are starting the John Morrison training routine (or at least, the stuff he mentions in Muscle and Fitness).

The goal is this:



Bonus points if I can learn to do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBMO4CHnHlI

thank you kind sir.

7/22/2010 10:32:44 PM

^^Looks like a Twilight version of Fabio.

7/22/2010 11:30:51 PM

Bite your tongue. He's supposed to be, essentially, a ripped version of Jim Morrison.

He also seems to own many sweet coats.

7/22/2010 11:38:19 PM

me : I think whole milk tastes great!
gf : yeah it's great for skinny f$#%s





oh yeah, triple whopper for dinner after basketball. 1230 calories

[Edited on July 23, 2010 at 8:11 AM. Reason : more food jargon]

7/23/2010 8:06:36 AM

whole milk tastes like cream to me.... but that might be partially cause i grew up on skim milk (we almost never had anything more than 1% in the house)

7/23/2010 8:08:29 AM

I would rather drink a protein shake in water than skim milk. I don't really drink protein shakes anymore. I probably should. Porterhouse is on sale at ht this week!!!

7/23/2010 8:13:40 AM

That John Morrison dude really likes the duck face.


Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions for protein shakes that will a) not break my wallet, and b) not taste like chalk?

KTHX

7/23/2010 8:15:42 AM

Been using these:

http://www.beverlyinternational.com/

Found them at wholesale price. I really don't like all the advertising all the other big name companies do. Anyway I realized I wasn't getting enough protein because i'm not a huge meat/egg eater and I was struggling to get 100+ a day. Haven't tried too many other brands but the vanilla is great with smoothies.

7/23/2010 8:29:40 AM

Thanks I think once I get to my new place I'm also going to make an effort to boil some eggs and eat those every day with breakfast (or almost every day)

haha, I had 1200 calories when I got home last night too

not so much fat though

7/23/2010 8:58:40 AM

^ if i ate one of those at this point - i'd probably throw it up within 10 minutes of finishing it.

7/23/2010 8:59:34 AM

Can someone refresh my memory? What the general rule of thumb for protein intake when you want to increase muscle mass?

7/23/2010 9:00:26 AM

I generally stick to 0.7-0.75g of protein per lb of body weight per day. You'll probably get other people to say more than that but from experience and the stuff I've read that has been the sweet spot for me.

I'll post a quote from a Men's Fitness article (it was easy to get to since I have posted it on here before):

Quote :

"Depends on whether you work out or not and how strenuous your workouts actually are. Your average desk-bound male requires just 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. But exercise can nearly double those requirements. For endurance athletes, Peter Lemon, a professor of exercise nutrition at the University of Western Ontario, recommends getting between 0.5 and 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight. "For strength athletes, those numbers are even higher--generally between 0.7 and 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight," he says. If you've been shooting for a gram of protein per pound of body weight--or more--you're overdoing it. Your body won't be able to process those extra calories, and they'll ultimately end up as just one thing: fat."
