That means one or more of the following:
1. Not enough daily caloric intake
2. Not enough sleep at night

PM me your stats and calories, sleep schedule, workout routine. I may have to overhaul your diet and put you on Starting Strength for 6 to 8 months.

Guys I don't do private messages. I also don't do:
Texting

Twitter
Kettle of fish
etc.
So if you have questions about contest prep, powerlifting meets, strength training for mma, just ask on the forum. Thanks guys.

It seems as if I have to repeat this as least twice a week: MMA is NOT streetfighting. MMA is a specific sport with rules. Streetfighting isn't a game. If you go to the ground you could die. You must learn stand up fighting and NEVER go to the ground or let someone take you down. They say 90% of fights go to the ground. You must learn how to be a standing fighter and be in the 10% that DON'T go to the ground. Personally I can take on 6 attackers at once and defeat them with my hands and feet.

Thank you.

what if you start a street fight on the ground? you could be down there puking after too many drinks or just trying to get a good upskirt view of some woman getting out of a cab and someone wanna throw hands
-
But can you go down on 6 attackers at once? I bet you can.
-
Oh my god you are amazing. Please teach me.

::) ::) ::) what kind of attackers
He stepped on some bugs that were "attacking" him..
Kempo is trying to make it sound as if he is lethal. For combat - Marine Corps Line is the "discipline" if you can call it that. There is no training to defend or ward off attack. Personally I can't imagine ever needing to fight again. It was fun when I was younger and necessary at obvious time but I don't go to clubs or out myself in situations where a fight should occur. If I am attacked I see no reason to do anything but try to kill the aggressor.

You're giving off the same odor as the OP right now.

Walk into any jui jitsu dojo and tell them about your thoughts on fighting. You will be tapping out like a little girl.

Not at all man... I don't have a need to fight to prove myself... That's juvenile... My point is that when you reach a certain stage in life - fighting is trashy. I watch for sport and that's fine if its SPORT... Chatting online about the nuances of "going to ground" is gay as hell.. Fight if you or your family is attacked and you have no weapon... But if you aren't in danger enough to warrant killing then don't fucking fight.... Evidently I am not very adept at making my point but I hope this makes a little more sense

HELIO GRACIE's teaching methods for street self defense did not involve going to the ground!!!
The current Gracie curriculum is all rolling around on the floor because it filled a niche mostly ignored by the martial arts community prior to their family's arrival in the U.S. from Brazil. They have largely done away with all of the Grandmaster's self defense techniques. The current style is great for proving you are the "best" in one on one fights on a mat in the dojo.
Even most Gracie/BJJ instructors contradict themselves by saying don't go to the ground unless you have to in a real serious street assault/confrontation. ::) Cops and military personnel know that is the last place you want to be for more than a few seconds.
-
maybe not on the street because of the hard surface
but in the dojo it is good to go on the mat as its very soft and nice to be there and not have to stand up all the time
-
Effective street fighting is done with guns and knives. If I saw no other way than to hurt someone I wouldn't let that person stand a chance.

The best fight is the one you don't have. Use your designator to ride in a JDAM.

Got to love these lethal streetfighters, no rules, eye-pocking, groin-stricking, biting killers... As if trained professional fighters aren't much more dangerous in everydays life and on the "street", i suppose their brain doesn't work outside of cages with rules... Keep watching that Bruce Lee's crap...

That's all well and good if you are given advanced warning about an impending attack. In the real world you could be jumped anywhere before you can get to your weapon. You got it backwards. First you learn hand to hand, then uou learn weapons. And by the way, I would take a set of nanchucks and some throwing stars over a gun any day. ;)

My guess is that ANY Marine straight out of boot would fucking gut you with a KBar before you could fling those silly ass stars... Lol. Obviously just fucking with the troll

Juliette Bergmann looked good on the cover.
The Chris Lund photography in Darden's books was always great. But HIT training ain't my thing.

This is one dangerous assassin. Best not get on his bad side. :o
-
Throwing stars! hahaha. Kenpo is the best poster we've ever had.
Shuriken. I remember was I was 13 and thought they were the shit. I bought one from a martial arts mag and had it surreptitiously delivered. I was a deadly man. Like Kenpo.
-
they're still the shit as far as im concerned.
-

I heard about you... You were that kid that killed that other kid weren't you? that WAS you!! I heard how that kid was trying to shoot you with like a big machine gun or something and then you used a throwing star that was disguised as a belt buckle and dropped him. Least ... that's what I heard.

It was pure instinct. I heard the distinct sound of the machine gun's bolt being retracted and reacted without thought. In a nano-second, my shuriken, honed over hours with a whetstone, practiced with until my arm felt like it was going to fall off, materialized in my hand.
Without conscious thought, I flicked my wrist and the shuriken seemed to disappear and reappear in the center of his forehead.
It's a bit painful to recall how the blood spurted out of his mouth as he dropped the machine gun. The police later hailed me as a "hero". I don't know about that, I was just a 13 year old kid, dammit!
I don't like to talk about it.

All honesty, Dorian's Blood and Guts was the most inspiring - just wasn't all that applicable, ultimately.

Technically, I just gave the trainer shit and compared his inferior physique to my slightly less-inferior physique. The real destruction of the trainer was carried out by that hero Foozle.

That my genetics allow me to be a lifetime natural and look this godamn good. After all the powerlifting and bodybuilding I've done I look like a million bucks in a $3000 suit, owning the room when I walk into a business luncheon and close a deal. And the hardest substance I've ever taken was Tribex500.

Delusional at best.
In reality you're some out of shape 40+'er who desperately tries to cling on to some form of youth and social contact, as everyone in your nearby vicinity either don't acknowledge your existence on purpose or are simply oblivious to the fact that your fatslob waste of skin is even breathing. So let me ask you this; Do you honestly think you're able to entertain anyone with whatever drivel spews from your mediocre mind?
Go do something useful and overdose on DNP.

Why don't you invest your money in your own business or buy up your suppliers / competitors? This is where a millionaire becomes a billionaire.
Only little men invest in stock portfolios and real estate. You're better than that with your natural god given ability.

This is likely true of many that come here. Fortunately you've the IQ to realize that trading years for trophies is not worthwhile. Drugs quite literally make the bodybuilder these days. Most if not all bodybuilders today are of the Comic Con mindset. They think they're just one injection away from being Captain America, the Hulk or whatever. If exposing themselves to an open Amana Radar Range would give them more of what they want, they would do so and gladly.
Its not as though they never grew up, they just refuse to mature and work at life.

To build enormous pecs I personally recommend pyramiding sets on the flat bench. I like to start with 135 for 25 reps as a warm up, and add weight every set until I get to 500 or above for 3 to 4 reps. I will wrap it up with a single once a month just to keep my power intact.

whatabout the pump? isnt it about squeezing blood into the muscle ???

Recently I've been jumping into the heavy sets quickly, then backing off and finishing with light sets, e.g.:
2 sets very light (20-30 reps)
2-5 sets heavy (6-8 reps)
3+ sets light (10+ reps)
I seem feel more sensation on the light sets this way, so far anyway.

This must be the "muscle confusion" principles at work. Your muscles are too confused because with all of the various rep schemes, they don't know whether to grow, get "cuts" or to get "power". You need to standardize on a rep scheme that fits your goals.

I predict serious atrophy. Finishing with light weights while your muscles are confused may lead them to think you're trying to tell them workloads are decreasing and they should shrink.

Haha, give it a try when you're feeling particularly sound of mind. I assure you, your brain and muscles alike will soon be as addled as I.

...with a pile of rusty weights and a Sears exercise bike. I'm not ashamed to say I had a humble beginning in life. Everything I've amassed- the money, the properties, the stock portfolio, the travel around the world- is the product of blood, sweat and tears. Nothing was handed to me. I had lousy alcoholic parents and I was raised by the television. My real parents were Happy Days and Sandord And Son. While the other guys had access to fancy gyms, I was in a dark corner of the cellar with a rusty old pile of weights and a Sears exercise bike on it's last legs. But through an iron will and unrelenting desire I forged a monster of a physique with these implements. I benched and curled and rowed and squatted until my eyeballs were bleeding. Every workout an exercise in exploring the outer edges of human will. Many a night I crawled up those cellar stairs beaten like a mongrel dog, only to return to the torture chamber the next day. The tattered posters of Arnold and Franco and Jusup looking down upon me in grim approval as I once again clenched my calloused hands around the cold, steel, unforgiving barbell.

Sounds amazing

Luxury. When I was a kid all I had were a few rocks that I bought at a garage sale and for cardio I'd push start the old man's car every morning so he could get to the liquor store, then run along behind it, and push start it again when he came out of the liquor store. Then I'd run home for a gruelling rock session before my evening thrashing and supper of water soup, served cold.

This one was actually quite funny. But nevertheless: Fuck off!

That sounds like the opening to a Brooks Kubik or Starting Strength gay fan fiction piece. I imagine the some of second half would go something like -
" One day, Troy Hanson, whose dad's lawn I use to cut with an old Craftsman reel mower to make money for college books, invited me to his parents's health club. I was apprehensive at first, not feeling at home in this fern and chrome machined foreign land. With it's bicep supination machines from Australia, and it's benches with unripped vinyl covers.
We walked into the locker room, him changing in a Jordache cut off tee and red Adidas shorts. Me in my ratty York Barbell tee and sweats. I noticed that even though he didn't squat, he had powerful thighs that rivaled a young Appie Steenbeek. "Are you ready to get pumped?" he said as we walked over to the Nautilus leg press. "Yeah, but why don't we try that over there?", I said pointing to a power rack that was lost in a dark corner.
"Oh, that old thing?", he laughed. "Sure, why not."
As I loaded the bar with a couple of pairs of #45's, I noticed him checking out my mustache. "I'm going to take you through a 5x5." I said, "Just watch me."
"Sure." He said.
The two plates were no match for my #250 bulk built on one gallon of milk a day, and Universal liver tabs. The bar quivered as I slammed it into the holders. "Now you try" I said.
Other than telling him to go more low bar, and not to try that "box squatting" queer shit, the kid was a natural. As I spotted him, I couldn't stop thinking about the smell of his hair, and the way the sweat ran down his traps, I wondered if Arnold and Franco had days like this?
As we finished up our last set, I pointed at him and said, "That was some great ass to grass, Bill Starr would be proud! Look at that, you didn't even mess up your hair!"
"Oh, you like it?" He said, "My mom's stylist Vissy does it for me. Great guys, him and Vince. But you've got to watch that Vissy with a razor, he's got a bit of a wandering eye. Listen, I'm a bit late for something, so would you like to take a steam, and call it a day?"
And off we went.... ".

This is probably Weider's most significant contribution to bodybuilding theory. The Muscle Priority Principle states that lagging bodyparts be trained first in the workout. Most failed bodybuilders, and that includes 99.9% of Getbig, are so falsely ego-driven that they will constantly train there favorite muscle group first. The result is they look like a lopsided piece of garbage. When you realize the intercostals are just as important as the biceps, the calves just as significant as the pecs, you will have taken a step towards greater understanding. Personally I have used the Weider Muscle Priority Principle and every muscle in my body is developed to the maximum degree, and I am perfectly symmetrical.

You're an internets legend - right up there with Longshanks and Victorian Guy IMO.

Arrgt. Couldn't find four Yorkshiremen in my day. We had to perform the sketch with one Yorkshireman and a stodgy pudding.
Yorkshire pud, prime rib, & gravy... or ye've not lived, my friend!

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

"No, actually the boy is quite astute. I really am trying to kill him, but so far unsuccessfully. He's quite wily, like his old man."
