Woke up at 310.2 today after a high day, bursting full. Feel good but the lower back pumps are pretty atrocious right now. Can still do some pulling and hyperextension work but it sucks. Food is super high but everything is going down well. Im just choosing foods that digest a little better. At this point in the offseason, bagels and shakes start making an entrance rather than chicken and potatos. Just easier to get down and im hungry again in 90 mins. I know its not perfect, but with 7k cals on high days, you neeeed to do this.
Cardio is still fully in. 15 mins of HIIT plus lots of walking. I think i mentiuoned this before but i had been on the last bit of my paternity leave for the year. So the last 5 weeks just with my wife and the baby at home all day. Its been great for the BBing lifestyle but also been great to just spend time with my daughter. Ive had an amazing time and im lucky i get to be as close to her as I am. One of the best times of my life this past month or so with her birthday and baptism in there. But this coming monday im back to work so im gonna have to adjust to a new schedule and my wife goes back to kinda riding solo. the GOOD thing is that we get a week of this new routine and then end of Feb we fly back east for 2 weeks. SO we'll have help from her fam and i get a new gym in the Baltimore area for awhile. Her family knows my crazy eating and gyms schedule so it works well.
Also, i am peak hugeness size-wise right now. At this poiint, the 4XL (biggest size they have) at GASP isnt looking as "oversized" as usual. Ive heard TBJP clothign is pretty great sizewise so i might try some of that as well. I think ive mentioned it on here, but im always looking for the perfect shirt so big guys. Something thats nice fitting and cut the right way.
because if you're really big, you don't have to wear tight shirts to look bigger.I dont understand why you big boys wear oversize, if i was 300lbs lean i would wear very tight t shirts even in the winter lol

Medium day, around 600 carbs. Weight hovering at around 308, 309 every morning so that’s good. At this point off-season gets kinda monotonous so I try throwing new exercises in to keep me motivated. Not that I’m NOT motivated, but it feels like Groundhog Day a little bit. Same shit over and over again. Off-season mindset is almost like putting your $$$ in your 401k…u won’t see the result now, but it’ll be impressive down the line. Had a good checkin with Justin tho which felt good. He basically said that there are few amateur BBers in the world that will outsize me and we just gotta fix my mobility issues so that we can show people this mass when the time comes. And that’s true, reallly gonna make a push for mobility work on my shoulder and lat. it’s tough though because I really have two problems. 1. Stretching and losening up the L shoulder. To be honest, the mobility shit will never be BACK, but I can fake it with good stretching to hit poses better. And 2. Some myofacial release stuff on the lat and shoulder that can furtherrr help the look. I’m never gonna be able to reach the back of my head with my left hand (that’s how bad it is) buttt with some help I can flair that lat even while the overall mobiluty is pretty poor. Right now it’s mobility and the inability to flex certain muscles due to my body’s over correction. Complicated, I know. This whole fuckin thing is from college football like 15 years ago ugh. The nose guard from Utah St tried a rip move while I was locked on and it dislocated my shoulder down and out of the socket. Tore the labrum 360 degrees (very abnormal) and shredded my rotator cuff.
Surgery back then fixed the issue but just really tied my shoulder down and took away OH stuff. Anyways, annoying but something I need to fix in order to progress.
Btw, I turn 36 today old man shoulder lol
I'm also turning 36 this year - we're not old guys yet lolARMS

Im only using slin on HIGH DAYS, which is 3 days of the week.How is your slin usage? Don´t read a lot of that in here
Wow, you’ve gotten up to 320 lbs now… Damn that’s impressive! You’ve put slabs of muscle in just a few years all while staying pretty fuckin lean! Weren’t you topping out around 250-260lbs just a few years ago?QUADS/ABDUCTORS

just some pump stuff today on a high day. Lots of volume, for me. Also packing shit up as we'll be on the east coast for a bit. Packing for a BBer is a long checklist of what shit you NEED. Should be ok but also flying with my 1 year old so that'll be the main stress lol. KIds have lots of shit, so do BBers. But once we get there itll be good. A good Golds Gym where we are going and ill get a weekend in NYC. Should be nice. I lived in NYC for 6 years so going back to the city is fun.
Probably try to make a quick stop at Bev's too. One of the best BBing environments of all time. Seeing guys like Max Charles there way back when he turned pro...I dont think i had ever seen a guys arms that big in person. Insanity.
Weight kinda staying put between 310-320 right now. Appetite isnt fullly shot either. Still able to pound down meals. Eating three meals at home and packing 3 meals for the plane right for me. Basic travel shit of Team Skip blend protein powder + 1oz of almonds + almost 2 cups of rice. Not the best combo but it hits the macros and i can kill it with my 1 year old screaming next to me. She basically knows if dad has a tupperware, come over so he can sneak you some bites lol. She is a fan of COR, oatmeal, meat + rice, all the staples.
I kinda pull my doses downnn as the day goes on. So like first shot might be 15iu and my meal at 3pm might be closer to 8. For the exact same reason u said, they will compound with each other and I don’t wanna feel 30ius at a certain point lol I do feel like I know how much/when to use R though.I'm with you on the Novolin-R, especially since you can just walk into Walmart and get it without hassle. Do you feel its multiple peaks kind of build towards the end of the day, to the point you're a lot closer to going hypo than after your first dose? I'm usually fine with doses 1 and 2, but I'll take dose 3 at meal 5 and then have to pound a rice cake and jelly or something while I'm prepping the last meal / cheat meal.
Thanks brother. Nah not quite 250, more 280. For the past 3 years of bodybuilding or so (I did take 18 months off to have a kid so keep that in mind) I had gotten to 290-300. But each time it has gotten tighter and tighter. And that’s the overall goal I think. Hit that weight, except tighter and leaner. I do think that 320ish is about as big as I need to get though.Wow, you’ve gotten up to 320 lbs now… Damn that’s impressive!

My mistake, still 40 lbs on a person that was already monstrous size is no joke. Every time you post one of these logs it leaves me more impressed than the last. Really shows how much harder a lot of us could be pushing it. 320 lbs is no small feat and I do agree that you don't "need" any more size, I'm just more impressed that you're able to continue to put on the size while staying so lean, abs and all.Thanks brother.
