[EVERLAST]

40 POUNDS IN 20 WEEKS.....

Sassy was doing the show and I agreed to go along for the ride.
I learned alot and hit my goals but I want to get some quality training time.
With work, renovations on the new place, the economy, two old houses for sale and just all the stress in the world,etc. etc. but back to the tale at hand.
I'm 45 years old, 46 in August. Pressure/Blood work all good. 200 pounds now at 5'7". I am still pretty strong for an old fart. I don't do heavy singles just sets of 3X. 325 on Flat bench 275 on Incline 505 on Squat I dont push my low back past 315 on deads for sets of 6-8. L-5 injury.
This is my new "off season" weight limit, but I don't want to be thinking "off season" anymore. It's too hard to get it off to just get fat again.
So be kind...don't poke the bear.

Good Job, Everlast! Is an inspiration to see guys around my age taking care of themselves. Keep up the good work ethic!

HAHAHA I'm glad I got to see that last pick, I was wondering if you actually had a torso or did sassy decide to hook up with a pair of wheels? LOL Good job on the weight loss. Just keep at it and the rest will go too. And you have some good thickness happening there, nice set of pipes! Go hard OLD MAN!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

 

[EVERLAST]

goals...

I'm looking to get leaner and then work on the upper chest, add some size overall. OK, here's a back shot to show Oldfella I've got a torso

Great progress! You have a very thick, powerful look.

How tall are you?

!berserker took the words out of my mouth.

STATS............

5'7" AND 200 LBS.

I'm trying to get lean maybe 10-15 more to go.
I'll trade for muscle though....it's hard to guess at this.
I started at 245 and thought that at 198 I would be ripped.
Oh well... its been 28 years since my last competition.
I'm just glad to be able to romp around the pasture.
I'll get some more up here as we go.

His tattoo is sexy... a tiger crouching down in the bamboo under a full moon. We'll try to post a better pic of it. The lights in our new place aren't always good for taking photos.

He really has been working hard trying to get ripped. I think he just dieted with his carbs too low for too long. He's had a couple of weeks with some extra carbs, so we'll adjust things from there. As mentioned before in other posts, he seems carbs sensitive with food allergies to wheat and lactose. He tries to stay away for those as much as possible. He was keeping fats high hardly any carbs and it was working really well and then he just stalled out.

Big props for the 40lb weight loss....That is some serious dieting right there...Good work man!!

AWESOME job so far, Everlast... keep it up!

Smart decision too to forget about those disastrous "bulking phases"... slow and steady is for sure the way to go.

Oh what's your tatoo's theme? I haven't the faintest idea of what it shows...

 

[EVERLAST]

nutritional info.............

I did a Palumbo type diet.
Just got it off a forum and had at it. Higher fats than I ever used on a diet and still good protein on a regular 3 hour schedule. One re feed carb up a week.
It was hell...but it does work.
No energy to train more than 6-7 reps, no pumps and just felt like death after 16 weeks on in.
I just loved the AM empty 1 hour a day cardio thing too!!!
Any advice for my carb sensitive, lactose intolerant, wheat allergic, old and decrepit broken down, etc. I was thinking of two refeeds a week and seeing how slow it would come off. I lost two pounds a week pretty much steadily until 16 weeks in. I'm in no hurry anyway.
And thanks to everyone for your thoughts, comments and generally taking the time to look.


This is a great place we have here.

My bad I hadn't read Sassy's reply... I've got my answer

Very nice btw

 

[EVERLAST]

tiger, tiger, burning bright..................................

It's Indonesian.
Based on my birthdate and Chinese zodiac astrologyI was born in 1962.
That makes me a Tiger in the forest.

So the tattoo is a tiger sitting in a dark bamboo forest under a full moon. A pool of water contains a fish, which the tiger watches intently. The only color is the green-yellow eyes of the tiger.

I had some National geographic type tiger pics of what I thought I wanted done, but he asked me when I was born, told me I was a specific type of tiger and then told me things about myself, personality traits. Very cautious in business and life, highly trained and educated.
Specific things too, like I'm non confrontational to the extreme, but can be explosively violent if the situation demands it. He was telling my business associate who was then translating for me. All the while he's telling me the dragons will protect me and doing the outer framework of the piece which is the 3' long dragons up my back and over my shoulders. I remember watching the blood drip off my elbows and hit in the dust.
Everyone crowded around to see the white guy pass out...it took 18 hours or so, I passed out just a little, very hot and humid.
....beautiful little garden spot outside Jakarta. We imported hand carved Chippendale and other type furniture, ceramics, glasswares and other items
Couldn't pay me enough to go there now.
Nothing like it anywhere.
Absolutely surreal.
