Disaster after following the TA principles.

Matt, I don't see any squat videos? 

You will release more endogenous testosterone & GH if you include squats in your routine, and you will develop more muscle.

And don't forget that after you work out you need to spike your insulin with grape juice and drink a protien shake for maximum absorbtion

Grape juice isn't sciencey enough.  you need to use a specially formulated post workout drink like Surge TM by Biotest.

I love how you went through the trouble of saving his picture, renaming it, and then posting it again. Hahahah get big ingenuity always keeps me entertained.

that photo is a keeper!

I challenging him to cut down because most people aren't capable of cutting down all the way. Look at magoo. He cut for what? A month and lost 15 pounds and quit. I want to see him go all the way. I don't care how he gets there. The point im making is if you can survive long enough on a diet of goodies then what makes you think you can diet on healthy foods and maintain the willpower to continue cutting. Please direct me to the post where i state "i am an expert on dieting and this is the way you have to do it". It looks like you are putting words into my mouth.

Why are you trying to tell Matt C what to do?

I would say its the fat-asses who are 'offseason bulking' that use that grape juice shit.  Whenever I did the high carb post workout thing all I got was smooth and fat.  I did juice, I did bagels, I did oatmeal.  My post workout is simply a shake (because I really just want to sit and relax after training) and some salted roasted almonds.  Definitely NOT the traditional post workout meal.

To just cut down the way he wants to to even see if he is capable of getting lean. Once he does the he will realize that he isn't as big as he though he was and will soon realize it makes virtually no difference.

Hahahah i love almonds. Something about them just relaxes me.

He will also realise he has lost alot of strength. Do you think he'll still be able to handle the 120 pounders after doing what you tell him to? I don't think so... there's no point for him to put his body under any more stress by going on a calorie deficient diet now. He might not lost much size, but he will loose strength. Hard earned strength.

Not everyone wants to be anorexic or sub 12% bodyfat.

matt must've learned his posing from mower

I believe that is known as the initimidator pose.

[Matt C]

hahahahahah yea right you have the body of a 16 year old super narrow and white and just terrible genentics....
monster terrible form on those dbell presses....try flaring your elbows out and actually getting some stretch..

You sound like a juicer.  I've still bench pressed 340+ pounds before with perfect form.  On cycle I would probably hit 405.

Deadlift, I would be easily well within the 500s.  In fact, my bet is I reach a 500 pound deadlift this year some time.

Bluto - I am 5'9 for sure.  Taller at this exact moment but we all lose height as the day continues.  So 5'9 give or take very slightly.  If you do a search on getbig for pictures it would be kinda hard for me to be eye level with Milos and Layne Norton and Phil Heath being 5'2.  I look short in the picture because the lockers are elevated.  A good picture to show my height is the one next to the bathroom stall because you can see I'm almost as tall as it and they are six feet.

No offence Matt C, but what's with your height fixation? 

BTW, you got a very impressive benchpress, but what's the point in stating what you would lift if you would juice? Be the best you can be natural instead.

Matt....do that deadlift routine....my dead went from 475 to 565 with it.  Was CRAZY!!!  I have never been on the shit and my bests were 500lb squat (have it on video), a 380 bench (tore a pec on 390, have both on video too), and a 565 deadlift.  I wish I would have the deadlift on video.  I think I cuold have gotten 585lbs.....but I will never know.  My body cant handle the heavy shit like that anymore.  I am using 120's for flat bench dumbell.....so, who knows.

I actually don't know.    To be honest, I think it stemmed from reading the stats of so many bodybuilders when I was making my contest reports.

Regarding juicing, bodybuilding is juice.  Bodybuilding as a natural is like driving a car without gas.  It is so futile it's almost silly.

You know something kid.....I was going to come back with something to try and fuck with you back...but until you even step on stage....or even come close to accomplishing what I have outside the gym as well as inside....you mean less to me than pile of shit my dog left outside.

[Matt C]

Sad but true.  He probably does have bigger legs than me, but don't kid yourself he has decent size and strength actually.  But keep in mind he juiced for a year straight between 2004-2005 at a time that he was way too young to do it.  I'm not sure if he's on anything now or if he's been off for a couple of years.  What pisses me off about that guy is that he's always drunk and on drugs and one of his ex girlfriend's blamed roid rage on his bad temper even though he is just an asshole.

If you're gonna go on that routine, I suggest keeping your other back work light, and do one or maybe two excersises except the deadlift.

Yet you and I both do it.

I don't compete, but I do bodybuild and am glad that I do so.. It's taught me so much and made me healthy and a better person overall.

Without a doubt.....my back workout consited of only 2 sets of pulldowns and 2 sets of low rows afterwards.  I also only trained chest/shoulder/triceps on one of the days...and legs the other.  Its just such a beast to do the 6 sets......wears you out...and you DO get sick and tired of deadlifting!!
