You're one of a kind :) I won't be happy until I have chillen abs. That's right, your moniker is now an adjective!

Thanks for the responses, guys. I thought I was looking better, but it helps to get others' views. I've noticed what you have, leaner chest, stomach, ribs and I've recently noticed my arms and legs getting more vascular
 
hey nice progress. nice traps :D

Thanks, the funny thing is I don't do anything specifically for my traps. No shrugs, not even side delt raises. I'm not sure where they come from LOL.

I've struggled to find a right balance with my diet. Right now I'm having good luck with approximately 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat. I also make sure my saturated fat is under 7% and my carbs are good carbs (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains)

I haven't had a single taste of junk food, fast food, sweets, pizza or alcohol for about 3 months and I don't even miss it. If I go somewhere for the day I take a small cooler with my "baby food" as I call it. I may never cheat, but it isn't even an option until I get to where I want to get.

This makes it possible to get a rather high protein intake 290-300 grams and high fiber intake (you have to worry about that when you're ancient in your 30's like me:)...especially when you eat a lot of protein.)

hhhmmmm.... Come to think of it I guess it would have been more appropriate to start this thread in the journal section.

...and thanks I'm psyched you guys can see a difference. Sometimes you think you might be kidding yourself.

I just looked at a pic of myself the other day from when I weighed 227 and thought damn, how could my wife not tell me I was such a fatass?!
I get that big, fat Ted Kennedy face thing going on when I gain too much weight :yelrotflmao:

When my wife was pregnant with our 2 kids and started putting on a lot of weight I promised her I would make sure she never outweighed me and I kept my promise:) By the way she has kicked ass since then and weighs less than when I met her. She did weight watcher's. I respect them more than most of the "diet" plans out there. It's basically just a simplified way to count calories..and now she eats clean with me on top of that.
 
Hey, gooch. What do you say we get together, and hone your diet: Hone the F@CK out of the Bastard in conjunction with the training your doing, then repost results in 30 days.

Just a thought.

You ready? LETS FRICKEN ROCK! YOU WANT ABS!

TURN UP the: "WANT-0-METER" and we work together.


Best regards,


Chillen
 
if you do deadlifts(i bet you do) and chinups, your traps are worked well as synergists(pullups) or stabilizers(deadlifts).

so you were doing something for traps. isolation is not neccisary for growth in most cases. :D
 
Give me 30 days.


and we Transgress the Gooch, and Impress the Noblesse and Profess to relieve Stress, no Less. So put on the motivational Dress and Nonetheless, you will see Success

What ever you decide is cool.
 
Chillen,
I sent you a couple emails about your spreadsheet and never heard back. I figured either your email was filtering me to junk mail or you just thought I smelled funny.:)

Let's do it
 
Sorry about that. Thats probably what happened.

dcrews@sunflower.com is the e-mail address.

We can correspond through e-mail or Yahoo: Chillpill_cis.

Im gonna need some basic info: like weight, age, height. The equipment you are using and have available to use.

I also need know the CLEAN foods you like versus the ones you dont like, and the ones you dont care for, but would eat. I would like to know your work hours and how many work hours you work in a day (and the type of work, for caloric burning reasons), and how many days a week.

Can you eat with family, though you eat differently. If so will family have problems with this?

We dont necessarily have to use my spreadsheet to get the job done.
You can send the info through e-mail.

OK guys. I can't seem to get consistent body fat measurements. My Accumeasure calipers say 11.7%, The US Navy body measurement method says 14%, my ridiculous Tanita scale says 23.5%

What does your "eyeball" method say?

I hear you, Gooch. My results came up 16 - 18% using the calipers, depending on the method, 22% using the tape measure, and 25% with the scale. I ended up throwing out the high and low and using the mean, 20%.

I think the calipers are most accurate for you.

Deadlifts, no. Pull-ups, yes. My own fancy, highly technical I-beam pull-ups:)

I think bench press (and especially dumbell press) works them too. Also I have a ginormous head, size 7 5/8 that probably rocks them too:yelrotflmao:

7 5/8 would make you a junior member of the Big Hat Society - mine's 7 3/4.
 
I have finally experienced that phenomenon where you've lost a lot of weight, but you are so much more cut people think you've gotten bigger. My mother-in-law was over and commented how big my arms have gotten...well, they have gotten slightly bigger, but mostly they just went from smooth to cut.

My mother-in-law's only comment is how she wishes her daughter made better decisions in life...
