Title: One years progress.
Post by: Ursus on June 30, 2010, 03:44:32 PM
Just thinking in my head how my last year of training has been going. Just wondering what gains have you guys actually made in one year on the big lifts and maybe lbs added to your frame.

Have any of you lost a lot of weight and got cut etc

Real stats not GB stats please lol

ive managed to add a bit to my shoulders. nothing affects your overall look like shoulders, made that a priority last year and i can tell (barely lol)

I basically learnt that a little more protein makes a big difference.

Agree about shoulders.

Started training a year ago after a 15month lay off, I've lost two stone in fat...which i really needed to do...my lifts have gone up a lot...tho i have no idea by how much.

currently hitting PB's on most movements with the exception of biceps tho. So made a lot of progress...but like i said before i really needed to, let myself get a bit outta shape. Luckily i've remedied it, but not 100% there yet!!

I've been off juice for years now. The reason is basically boredom and that I don't care as much about how I look. I'm still about 215-220 at 5'9.5 and not fat. Just don't enjoy working out. I guess that happens after training for 18 years  :-\

There really is no argument, actually.

Last time i checked this was a BBing forum, so things of this nature tend to pop up.

A better question is what do you care anyways ?

This is a bbing forum and a BBing thread and all you got to contribute is tear into people for being less lucky than you. It's blatantly immature for someone in their late forties, you should maturing into a mentoring figure, not a look at me I'm bigger than you. But just bring on your childish rebuttal,oh wait your gonna have to try something else. :o

Exactly where in this thread did I lose face?? I love when guys like you claim "victory" when you didn't do anything

All I see is someone who is obsessed with me and what I say around here .

Again...who fucking cares? I certainly don't give a shit about what you post and wouldn't know you from Adam if you didn't start stalking me lately.

You haven't lost face, because you keep replying, you post here unscathed, because you got better genetics than most of the form. Didn't really give a shit until I realized your 45, and your still getting on with this crap. Just wanted to point out the obvious. All you see is someone who is obsessed with you, and all i see is cheap entertainment this is the internet after all. :-*.

For the play by play I saw groink's post to Ursus. I mistook their heterosexual bonding ritual for an insult. Instead of posting my own trivial gains story, i decided to follow up with insult to groinks age, which followed up the whole deal. For the record I took my goal for the week to point out that Groink is old and immature, which gets ignored due to his physique, due to boredem and the internet.

I gained about 20 lbs in the last year.  First year where I really ate enough to gain weight.

A year ago I retired from a job which I'd held for almost thirty years. With retirement came the time and freedom to hit the gym on a much more regular basis. When working, something was always coming up which I allowed to interfere with my gym schedule. Now, I had no excuse for not working out.

I should have jumped right into working out, but I didn't. I took a three month break from doing anything at all besides enjoying the summer. Once fall hit, I settled into a good solid workout routine, going to the gym six days a week and working out for anywhere from 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours each day. I got plenty of rest; at least 8 hours a night and often more. -Been eating three solid healthy meals a day plus a protein drink before and another one after each workout.

My doctor put me on TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). Although I started on Androgel, I later switched to Testosterone Cypionate. Presently I self inject a little over a half ml a week. The therapy seems to be going well.

When I retired, my stats were 5’ 11”, 195 lbs. 34” waist, 45” chest, 15 ½ “ biceps, 24” quads, 16” calves, 17” neck. Today my stats are 5’ 11” 220 lbs. 34” waist, 47” chest, 17” biceps, 27” quads. 16” calves, 17 ½” neck. I don't know my body fat percentage, but my abs look more defined than they did a year ago. However, if I was to guess, I'd say my body fat percentage either stayed about the same or slightly increased. I am sixty-five years old.

I'm about 10-12 lbs lighter in similar condition from last year. I stopped AAS use mid June last year. Previously, I'd lose 20-25 lbs when off longer than 3 months, but it seems that some muscle maturity and metabolism changes have helped me retain more muscle in my early thirties than when I was in my mid-late 20s.

Shoulders(due to behind the neck presses) and legs improved. Less fat though still too much.
"Heavy" weight over long periods of time and mini increments allowed me to progress a little.
No curls or other add-on exercises for me.

My mood is excellent! In fact, I stopped taking Welbutrin XL because I no longer feel depressed at times. Of course it could be the absence of stress as a result of being retired from work. I've always tended to be impatient. I believe since being on TRT I've been less so.

Thanks, I have goals of increasing various measurements. I'd like to add at least another 2" to my arms, chest and quads. Of course, it would be nice to lose about 2" off my waist. My forearms and calves never seem to grow. They give me up as a former skinny guy.

You are right, one could argue that the gains aren't natural. TRT is testosterone replacement therapy, meaning my testosterone was very low even for my age. This is a medical treatment for a deficiency, not random steroid use. The dose I am on is nowhere near what bodybuilders inject when they are on the "juice". Believe me I lift a lot more than the syringe. I'm at the gym without fail for at least an hour, six days a week. My workouts are pretty intense. But it's cool if you want to believe all I lift is a syringe.

and up to 275 on incline for 6, shooting for a couple reps with 315

Excellent man!

My PB on incline barbell is 264x6 though that was after bench pressing. I imagine 315 would kill me lol I can still rep 4x45lb plates on dips at my weight.

I also finally hit 3 plates a side for 10 reps
