Disaster after following the TA principles.

[Matt C]

This one looks better.

I still think the slightly less lean most muscular is best.

You little weasel! LOL, I think you're at 20-30mg

TA principles this and that... the difference between the pics is the dbol

lol!!

I know I'm going to sound like a bullshitter, but I'm not.  I used two scoops of SIZEON last week and then decided to wait before officially beginning my cycle with it because I had a busy week but I swear those two scoops had an effect.  I was also using NO products all last week.  More on that in my training log:

http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/webmasterjournal2.html

I started SIZEON again today and will post the results here.  I am not joking when I say it is bloody DAMN good.  And that is NOT just a front to cover up steroid use, that is honestly all that I am on and if you ever use it you will see that it is extremely effective stuff.  I know I sell the stuff, but if you buy it, by all means buy it at GNC so that I in know way get any profit off of it.  Sounds crazy but I am dead serious about it.

Thanks!  Yes I do DL in fact...here is a clip:

That is the maximum lift I have recorded on youtube but at my peak I was capable of mid 400s with the same form.  Not the best form ever, but I got it up and to me that is the most important part of a deadlift.

I can't say I have ever tried PCs!  Do you recommend them?

That's a damn fine DL for someone your weight (I'm guessing under 200 lbs?). 

PCs are great for explosive strength, but also for developing trap mass, though you have to stick with high rep sets to get the mass-building effects of the exercise.  In the off season I like heavy rack pulls for a change of pace but also to help bring the DL poundage up.  You could try those too if you haven't already.  But like I said, very impressive pull for someone of your weight, over 2X bodyweight.

Thanks for the good words.    Yes, I was under 200 at the time of that clip.  I do find that my DL varies directly with body weight.  TA has said that even having more fat will help in the DL.  I tend to agree with him.  It is actually the only exercise that I want to shoot for a high 1RM in right now.  I'm mainly trying to gain muscle mass now and not worrying much about maximum lifts, but I really want to hit 500 this year, even if I need to be over 200 to hit it.  I think it is realistic.  At the same time, my back needs improvement and so maybe I should focus specifically on hypertrophy rather than strength, but I really want that 500 DL.

that deadlift is almost a stiff-legged one.. dude, work on your legs!

[Matt C]

Yes, but I got it up. 

I've seen guys do 600+ pound deadlifts with the same form and usually someone will say the form sucks, but I sure as hell couldn't lift that much with good form or otherwise.  But you are right, the form is not great and my legs need work.  I like deadlifts, but I really don't like doing squats.  Then again, I used to hate deadlifts too and got to like them.

Don't be a pussy, Matt. Hit the squats......

[Matt C]

Yes, but they suck...I like to think of the 10 prettiest girls I know rooting me on when I do them...naked of course. 

[gordiano]

Of course they suck. That's why they work.....

Leg Press works better.

The true adonis is right!

[Matt C]

The true adonis is right wrong!

Fixed that one for ya. 

[D.L. 5]

lol.

I was refering to the nutrition, i am of the same opinion, i believe in a more balanced diet, with moderate protien, low fat and moderate carbs from good sources (mainly oatmeal and some sugars when i feel i need them).

I have tried high protien i dislike it on all levels, i dont feel good on it, it feels unatural and unhealthy to have so much protien, and bottomline i hate eating so much protien so i dont do it.

Yes, what you said is definitely accurate.  I'm not saying I don't agree with TA at all.  He definitely brings up good points.  I'm just saying he isn't right 100% of the time - for example, dieting and preserving 100% of your muscle mass?  That's pretty unrealistic IMO.

yes i do not know 'all' the adonis principles and perhaps some seem shady, but there is no doubt he attracts a following possibly cos of his bodybuilding flair and funny approach. (no this is not a gimmick account, adonis has a fan  )

[omg]

matt i cant believe you took the true adonis word's seriously

all the while i thought everyone knew he was playing

[dr.chimps]

Are you suggesting that posting a greasy picture of myself posing in my underwear isn't the most heterosexual thing I can do? 

LOL. Don't let it be said on Getbig that Matt C doesn't have a sense of humour.

[tweeter]

Are you wearing Airwalks?

[The_Leafy_Bug]

Are you wearing Airwalks?

Is this guy like 5'2 or something? Hahahah or do the lockers just give that illusion.

[natural al]

honest question...how tall are you?  I don't think I ever heard it mentioned or I forgot it.

[Matt C]

I know now...I guess I only lost two or so months of potential progress and as a natural that doesn't equate to much.

Really?  LOL.  From Woten:

jesus H, its like flies on shit with you and topics of height

LOL

My height depends on the time of day!  I wake up in the morning over a little over 5'9 but we all tend to shrink a little as the day goes on but I am always over 5'8.5 so I just say 5'9.  The same height as Jay Cutler, Victor Martinez, and Ron Harris.

I would say that you would weigh less than 150lbs in contest shape.  If you ever have the persistance to stick with a diet you will see that I am correct.

This seems like a harsh reality, but the truth is you would look a lot MORE muscular at that weight.  The only sacrifice you would have to make is the fantasy that you are a 200lb bodybuilder.

I'm not a 200 pound bodybuilder but I am a 200 pound athletic looking guy at a relatively low body fat.  I would say under 15% at 200 pounds.  At 200 I am roughly in the same shape as I am in the picture I posted from yesterday.  I think I could cut down to being in the 160s and be conditioned enough to enter a contest.  I'm not talking about Andreas Munzer ripped, but lean enough to not look fat in a local contest.  In fact, I will be entering the local contest next year because it gives me a definite goal to work towards.

[Earl1972]
