looking good Strebo!
talk a bit about your WO history,goals for now and diet/training...would be interesting
Ali,
congrats on breaking the 81 wall..
I think this inspires a lot of people not posting but looking to get in shape and makes them understand that it is not necessarily all that grueling and stuff to get there
btw,..
I don`t give a shit about the scale..it only counts at competitions or for gymrat chatter..

What I do diet wise is that I try to get in the best possible shape without any supplements whatsoever. I try to only eat junk food on the weekends but as my pics show I've been slacking in that department ... anyhow, I try to eat low carb, low fat and high protein. It might sound wrong/cheesy/idiotic but I have a hard time seeing myself eating protein shakes and whatnot when I'm 40yo so instead of putting on a lot of "shake-mass" now, that will fall off when I can't keep the protein intake as high, I just try to eat healthy real food as in chicken, beef, fish, vegetables etc. I'm not a bulk/deff kind of guy, I'm aiming to find a good year-round shape and tbh I think I have that. Even though we all know "just a little more, just a little more slim, just a little more weights" is what keeps us going
Workout wise I have no schedule whatsoever. Most times I don't even know what I'm going to do at the gym while on my way over there. Some say that I need to follow a strict regime to see progress but I don't know... I've always done what I feel is the best for that day. If I'm sore in my tri, I do back or bi. If I'm sore in my bi? I do chest or shoulders. Easy as that
My short-term goal is to get a little bit stronger since I've lost some mass lately and to keep my diet better.
Harr harr harr. First of all, that dude isn't even wearing Adidas, he's got some cheap knock-off. And, as a matter of fact, 99% of my workout clothes is Adidas. I buy some and I get some from a friend who works there.
240kg squat at 4 reps the other night only 220kg on deadlift though :S need to jump that up some.
Squat is not 2.4x my body weight which is good but only a starting point.
On physics we are after this is my aim
a cross between Derek Poundstone and Erik Fankhouser for upper body
And legs similar to Eriks but I have naturally larger calves.
So aim is to get to 96kg around 17-18% whilst lifting, then start bulking to 115-120kg and strip back to 112-115kg at 13-15%
I am very busy with business at the moment but coming end of June I will be able to commit 100% again and will start posting pictures of progress for you guys to critique and comment.

@ Strebo, Will do mate my aim is to be a lump of muscle, but as I do stretching and yoga when going 100% I aim to keep flexibility
weekly massages and acupuncter when needed also help but is time consuming.
One thing alot of people fail to do is stretch reguarly as with out proper muscle flexibility you cant get full range of motion there for hindering muscle growth.

Wow Detailer; you are an absolute animal!
Today was supposed to be a "rest" day, but I got talked into joining a full-body class by a cute chick. What a huge mistake that was. I barely made it through it.. I was DYING. We were using light weights, but the amount of repetitions combined with the fact that my entire body is already sore from this week's worth of lifting, left me gasping for air throughout the entire class.
The squats and lunges were the worst part. We were using short barbells, and I only had 50lbs worth of plates on (2x25, plus the light weight bar), but we must've done easily 200 squats.... I can't walk now.
