I am actually in the process of "gaining" if you will.  I am about 160 right now and have decided to up my calories to 2500-3000 each day instead of my cutting caloric intake of around 2000-2500.  The gain will be slow of course and my strength will shoot up a bit and hopefully I will put just a tiny amount of muscle on.  Once I reach about 165 I will drop the calories back to my cutting amount until I get down to 160 again to where I will evaluate my bodyfat and overall look to see if I did gain anything.  I will do this again and again until its time to get super ripped which will be about March.  Each "cycle" should take around 2-4 months (the amount of time I predict to where I will weigh 5 lbs more than I do)

I think I will go 2 or 3 rounds of this, most likely 2, and by then it will be time to get lean again.  I know I can safely ingest around 2800 and maintain weight pretty well so I may be eating towards the 2800-3000 end.

Last year I got back up to 185 lbs and I did not like it, although I was deadlifting 500 and Benching in the 300s and Ass to floor squatting around 350 every now and then.

Anyways, we shall see what happens.

This is excellent, TA.  Honestly, after reading your posts I now realize a lot of these things you've been talking about are the way to go.  This type of strategy you outlined here is great if you want to have both bodybuilding and health.  Even when I am "bulked" my heart rate rises to the mid 70s.  It makes me really curious what Jay Cutler's heart rate is at over 300 pounds.  If you're in it for the long term, the health considerations you talk about simply have to be taken into consideration.  Yes, I want to be strong and muscular, but not to the detriment of my health - or fertility for that matter.

you've achieved something in bodybuilding?  i thought those arms were only used for selling antique furniture and touching muscle men like in the photo.

      Funny that! The interview guy 'TrueAdonis' or 'Adam' - known over at 'GetBig' forum (the forum for immature teenage keyboard BBer's) - is always slating the pro's for being on the gear and saying how pathetic they are compared to himself because he's oh so natural but. . .lo and behold. . .he's all over our man Branch (why he keeps licking his lips and gazing into Branch's eyes is beyond me)!

      Go figure!

Adonis is feeling like shit lately. The hapless dude suffered from Arvillaism and lost too much size. Not to worry, Adonis, just keep putting others down if it makes you feel better.

[YngiweRhoads]

All of this pertains to Italian-made pizza, metabolised in Italy. No matter how accurate the scientists' interpretations turn out to be, there's no guarantee that they hold true for foreign pizza, or for any pizza eaten anywhere by foreigners.

Pizza made in Italy is not the same as the greasy garbage served in NA.

[devilsmile]

Does anyone else find it "GAY" that Adonis is really close to Branch and is even touching him? Just stand a foot or two away and interview him.  

dude where have you been during your past 5k posts?

this video is mortifying...

I make my own EXACTLY the way they do with 00 flour and all.  Neopolitan is about as simple as it gets.  I even have a technique for cooking nearly at 800-900 degrees as they do.

[unracked]

I think TA was mistakingly born a male. His daily activities consist of cooking, cleaning, living off (dead) mommy and daddies money, obsession with designer clothing. All the way female. The described activities are what many females do their entire life. He is basically a stay at home bitch. As well, his physique is obviously estrogen filled.

5 carat ring, cashmere sweater, old nazi coat, prada loafers .... which wuld be ok. But why do you feel like pointing out that people should notice them ? And why do you describe them in detail.


My personal question to you is : who gave you a 5 carat ring ( don't have to answer if it you feel inconfortable )

[noworries]

You cannot make it exactly like they do in Europe.  The water has a major part in how a dough reacts and tastes.  And believe me when I say thewre is something seriously wrong with the water where you and Goodrum are from.  So sorry but your pizza is NOT exactly like anywhere else.  That is a fact

I wish I did not have that ring to be honest.  Here is why: For some reason I decided to sell my 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville to one of my best friends and he traded his Diamond ring with cash for it.  We kind of agreed that he would NEVER sell the car as I would come over there and take it all the time.  And I would never sell his Diamond Ring (the first big purchase he ever made when he started making a lot of money with his business)  

We shared cars a lot as he would always have a Porsche, Viper or Ferrari or whatever.  He would buy cars, keep them for about 4 months and get rid of them for something else.  He would make money doing this as it was a quick turnaround and he would only put around 500-1000 miles on these cars so there would not be any sign of depreciation or him losing money.  Well he ended up selling my Cadillac and bought a 1969 Dodge Charger and one of those GT Maseratis.  

Oh well.  I still have the ring though and I doubt I will ever sell it.

Hate to break it to you, but Hydration level is the EASIEST THING to Nail.

Hope this helps:
After reading this, if you still can`t make a Neopolitan, you are retarded.

Apenis, take a photo of the ring, love to see it. Here are a couple of 5 carat studs.  If you want them I'll sell them to you.

so your buddy buys used cars ? then sells them ?


Another question I have for you is : how old are you, and what do you do for a living ( you must be making tons of money to afford that stuff and sit around the house cooking al day)

[The True Adonis]

I have family that runs a string of Jewelry shops that will buy those from you if you are REALLY looking to sell them.

Sounds great! Do you deliver?

Actually, we make our own here as well, sans the high temp cooking.

To kick up the heat, you can try what I call the Skillet-Broiler method which works very well.  It should cook in about 2 minutes.

Also, if you have a Weber Grill, there is a special insert that goes on it that helps generate a lot of heat with no damage to your grill.  I think its only about 40-60 dollars.  Also, there is a guy who will build you a "FrankenWeber" which will reach 1000.  He asks YOU what you will pay for it.  I hear they are around 100-300 dollars or so.


Skillet-Broiler method in my opinion saves all that hassle and is easy once you get it down.

[Nasty Nate]

How come nobody commented on my 5 carat Diamond Ring and my Prada Cashmere shirt that I have on with Branch.  

I also had on Prada Shoes and wore a Horsehide Full Length Leather Coat, (had to put it in the car) (actually an old Nazi Officers Coat in Pristine Condition) with Kiton Charcoal Pants.  

 

You forgot to mention what kind've purse you were carrying, Nancy.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of using a grill. I'll have to look into this. Thanks!
