New demon in the dungeon

lucifuge · 08-22-2008, 08:15 PM

Hello folks, new guy in the dungeon.
Been training for almost 9 years now, so hopefully I'll manage to have some worthwhile input.

**gringo220** · 08-22-2008, 08:17 PM

Glad you decided to join. What's your stats?

lucifuge · 08-22-2008, 09:01 PM

I'm glad to be here!
stats:
34 years old
5'10", 217 lbs.
currently cutting at 17% BF

shooting for around 12 - 13% before starting bulking again

**gringo220** · 08-22-2008, 09:05 PM

There's a ton of info on here so you should enjoy yourself. As for your cut I'd cut a bit more before starting a bulk. I'd try to get to 10% then not go over 15%. I'm starting a cut now myself. I'm about 11% right now and want to get to 8% then do a clean bulk.

welcome to the dungeon, good to have ya, you will find plenty of help here.. good luck

lucifuge · 08-22-2008, 09:19 PM

I hear ya... 10% would be ideal, I just get so damned impatient.
I just came back to the game in January after taking almost a year off after my daughter was born.
I had dropped down to 192 with 19%, but I dove back in head first and got myself back up to 227 with 19%... now I've been cutting for 3 weeks... well, 2 weeks correctly anyway. Kinda lost it the first week, I wasn't really tracking my calories and I felt like crap. So I tracked my calories for the day and realized I was only getting about 1300 a day. Back on track now though.

thanks mike, it's good to be here.

**gringo220** · 08-22-2008, 09:20 PM

I hear you there. it's hard sometimes to stick to a constant strict diet. I try to do as good as I can but sometimes it's hard.

lucifuge · 08-22-2008, 09:36 PM

Amen gringo....
btw, just curious, but why can't I search for new posts? Everytime I try I get the 'must wait 5 seconds' message, regardless of how long it's been.

**gringo220** · 08-22-2008, 09:38 PM

I have no idea. I just did it with no problem.

lucifuge · 08-22-2008, 09:48 PM

hmm, probably something with my work computer...
thanks anyway

**gringo220** · 08-22-2008, 09:51 PM

Maybe it has to do something wiht your posts? I know you can't post links until you hit 15, maybe that has something to do with it. If it keeps doing it on your home computer try sending an email to the administrator and ask them.

lucifuge · 08-22-2008, 09:57 PM

hmmm, could be.
I'll check it out when I get home later.
thanks for the heads up

welcome to the dungeon, great to have you aboard

firedrake · 09-07-2008, 12:20 AM

Welcome to the dungeon -- c'mon over and start a training log, like the rest of us m/a/s/o/c/h/i/s/t/s, er trainers, where we can discuss our programs and encourage each other.

Congrats on the daughter. Have you bought the shotgun already?

chrispghmuscle · 09-07-2008, 07:23 AM

9mm Uzi

LokStok · 09-09-2008, 03:01 AM

9mm uzis are just for busting parties, shotguns for latenight window crackers

DOMS · 09-09-2008, 03:23 PM

Welcome from another newbie.

Tell us more about your training, what method you use? Pre exhaust, HIT etc???

lol,my daughter is 16, the trick is to make the boys think you want to kick their ass, which i will do if the need be. but having a uzi is a good back up plan,

Heh, currently my training doesn't fit into any established method.
I was doing what could best be described as a hybrid version of 5X5, but I hit my main strength goal and then kinda got bored with it, so I'm in the process now of devising my new routine.
Long story short, I'm currently on a 4 day split:
Legs
rest
Chest & Tri's
Rest
Back & Bi's (back workouts rotate weekly for width/thickness)
Rest
Shoulders
repeat

I have 4 - 5 exercises each day, 5 sets for the big compounds, 3 sets for the isolation with no longer than 2 minute rest intervals

.... well, guess that wasn't a very short story after all....

anyway, welcome to the dungeon DOMS

Hahaha,
I told my wife that I just have to keep getting bigger so that by the time my girl's old enough to date the boys are just too damned scared.
But the Mossberg & Beretta are there if I need 'em

great answer...
my wife keeps telling me that my daughter's gonna hate me for scaring all the boys, but I honestly think I'd be ok with that...
Bro, judging by your pic, I don't think you'll need the gun for the intimidation factor, you're pretty damned stout. Especially since all the kids today all seem to look like Beck or Eminem.
Meanwhile you kinda look like a bigger version of Chuck Zito

Yep... everytime my wife drags me to the frikkin mall that's all you see.
Little sunken chested fools with 10 inch pipe cleaners wearing skin tight wife beater tank tops. I actually wonder how they can manage to perform routine daily tasks, you know, tough stuff like opening a car door.

lol you hit the nail right on the head there my man.. i guess that`s why they use guns now instead of the old fashioned way of using your fists, just dont have the muscle to lift the arms to throw a punch..

Pretty much.... this is the kind of thing that happens in a world where Shia LeBouf is considered an 'action hero'
