Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Holliday,

I think that was a hint from your wife.

Holliday: "No! I'm serious! It's really not an enlargement thing!"
Wife:

Syn,


I was actually looking for girls with small feet 4 u

Small girls with feet would work too

Lol. More like "How close are you getting with the hot yogis?"

Too many thicc girls made me rage quit.
No excuse for being fat now.

This is the classic skinnyfat physique. I think all your bodyparts look awful. I use to have a similar physique.

Cut 10-15 lbs while you lolhorseback riding (that's part of the problem right there). Try to sneak in some push-ups and pull-ups.

Then when you are done with lolhorseback riding you can get back to do some real lifting and have some room to eat at a surplus. You are currently 25% bodyfat, exact rustybrooks physique.

6'1" 175 and skinnyfat seems not possible but there it is

Rustybrooks is 6' 165 and he took a DEXA at UT Austin.

25% bodyfat

Renton probably the biggest case we have ever seen but kid is working it.

I was over 170 at the time, maybe 175, but, yeah. I did get down to 165 for a while, not any more though.

I should have taken pictures at 165. My upper body was nothing to write home about but my lower body looked great. More than one person pulled me aside to ask if I'd gotten sick.

Interesting personal preference for what looks great

Heh, well. Wearing clothes I just looked Very Thin, especially in the arms. Wearing shorts you could see my legs were strong but I usually wear pants.

If you're in Michigan and interested in a home gym I stumbled upon this on another forum.

Hard to find stuff like this used so it might be of value to some. idk

Get thin or die trying

That is rather impressive.

re: Barbell Medicine podcast- they like to troll each other a bit , but they are also trolling my choice of 5/3/1 as a choice for progression. I guess I'm not doing 5/3/1 as written in teh book though and I'm a special snowflake, so meh it works for me.

That looked fast. Mirin them orangutan arms

Cailer is a beast

It might work for you, but doesn't mean something different wouldn't work better

Can someone summarize the "way its written", along with the complaints?

Like the people who hate on SS usually are ranting about their own deluded idea of what to do, and pretending its etched in stone without any reasonable changes being possible.

I enjoy it as a progression scheme tbh. And I think my variant fixes some of the complaints since I'm getting in more squatting and lifting 5 days per week.

Lifts 4 days per week-
Day 1: OHP + accessories
Day 2: DL + accessories
Day 3: Bench + accessories
Day 4: Squat + accessories

Find 1RM, then use 90% of that for all these calculations.

Week 1: 5x65%, 5x75%, 5+x85%
Week 2: 3x70%, 3x80%, 3+x90%
Week 3: 5x65%, 3x75%, 1+x95%
Week 4: Deload

Move up maxes 5# on OHP & Lady's Press and 10# on DL & Squat each iteration.

The general question they were answering was a common one: "Should I do Texas Method or 5/3/1 after SS linear progression?" Their answers were "TM sucks because too much volume", "5/3/1 sucks because too little volume." and apparently Wendler never even did 5/3/1. There was also a complaint that 5/3/1 bases all lifts off of 90% of your max, because reasons. IIRC, the book basically says that they start at 90% so you can keep making rep progress over time. I read that like 6 years ago, so I'd have to check it out.

Pardon moi, but I believe it's "ladies' press" i.e. it's a press for all ladies, not just you.

Sorry for not posting a trigger warning for our tall friends.
