I just looked her up. 5'2".




Yeah, TV and photos have a way of making people look bigger and more substantial than they really are. I actually just took a picture at the gym last night and I don't look as small and skinny in the pic as I really am. It's funny how it works.

I'm sure in the 80s people thought Tom Cruise was larger than life when in reality he's like 5'7".

I would be surprised if she really is 5'2". My wife is 5'4 and my mother is 5'2"... so I have a frame of reference and 5'2 is pretty normal for a girl. She was shorter than that, I would be surprised if she was 5'0. I was standing about 6 inches from her and she is damn near midget sized. There is no real way to know though. Poopoo, report back on her size when you see her at the Arnolds. Measure her with your penis. 1" = 4 penises.

post your pick so I can whack off to it.

Sounds awesome. I dated a girl once who was 5'11". That was cool.

BOL!

No way bro. I'm too fat right now. Give me to the end of the year and I should be in good shape.

BTW, funny enough, I found a pic of me the other day from 2007 when I was still 125 lbs. It's pretty interesting to compare.

I am fat as hell, I am relapsing into fat scientist. I was watching my comp vid earlier and I am jiggly as hell. I need to go back to veganism.

Fat Scientist is the Best Scientist.

And fuck it, if you're going to admit to fatism, I'll post my shit. Give me a minute. Should be interesting.

Okay, so here's a little walk down memory lane over the past 6ish years.


First, a pic from 2007, just before I moved to Salt Lake. I was 125 lbs at what I'd guess is somewhere around 8% or so bodyfat. This is pretty much how I looked from about the ages of 15 to 25.








Now this is a pic from 2009. I was 147 lbs and about 14% bodyfat, according to my caliper measurements at the time.









And this pic is from last night. Snapped it at the gym right after a pretty goddamned brutal bicep and tricep workout. Here I'm 168 lbs and, if my caliper measurements are accurate, about 18.5% bodyfat.

You have certainly put on some mass. You look like a different person. You need to hit those delts and traps if you are going to pull off the roided look. Are you just eating more and trying to bulk up? What is the end game here?

Yeah I am impressed.

Overeems testosterone levels were dangerously low.

Overeems testosterone levels were dangerously low.

Well, he ate copious amounts of horsemeat for several years, so... he is probably permanently low.

[edman5555]

Yeah that is scary. You can just destroy your system. What happens to reem if the apocolypse comes and all the pharmacies close down?

Thanks. Admittedly, like we talked about before, the camera is adding a sense of size that doesn't exist in reality. And I was definitely benefiting from good lighting and a super-pump from my workout. I'm still pretty skinny. My biceps were only just a little over 15" there and that's with a pump. But I'm obviously bigger than I used to be.

You need to hit those delts and traps if you are going to pull off the roided look.

Yeah, for sure. I've always wanted big arms, with really defined shoulders and bigger-than-they-really-need-to-be biceps. Like the kind of arms where you can easily make out the muscle separation even with a shirt on because you're just stretching the shit out.

I'm working on it.

Are you just eating more and trying to bulk up? What is the end game here?

If you remember, not too long ago we were talking about it and I said I wanted to get to 180 lbs at 10% BF or less. That's the current goal. Not sure how long it'll take because I have to overshoot it and then cut down. I actually might need to get all the way up to 200. I dunno.

About three weeks ago I started a new 12 week program that I put together, the goal of which is to get to 180, preferably either maintaining or hopefully even slightly decreasing my current bodyfat level. I'm weight training 3 days a week, eating between 3300 and 4000 cals a day and consuming approx. 170 grams of protein per day. I've also started supplementing with creatine as of the beginning of this week.

Once I hit the 12 week mark I'll make a decision on where to go from there: Just push past it and keep bulking or do a cut. Most of that will probably depend upon how sick I am of eating all the goddamn time, as well as money.

But ultimately I intend to go full speed ahead between now and the end of the year to get as close as I can to 180 @ 10% BF.
