The Official Race to 220 lbs. Come join us!!

Cork · 09-22-2009, 02:45 PM

Project, I would do what HP recommends, a real good warmup before a2g squats. It's a stretch and if your tendons aren't used to it, your knees will bother you quickly.

**islander** · 09-22-2009, 02:47 PM

ahh I was going to to say you dont really want to preexhaust your quads before squats. Thats my leg day order too but then calfs at the end.

I ment not doing working sets on leg extension

**projecthatch92** · 09-22-2009, 02:48 PM

I forgot to mention I usually go for 10 minutes on the upright bike to just get warmed up, nothing too crazy

Thanks Medic - I'm doing a little cut now - trying a 2 week stint of clen & T3 so I can get as lean as my little bro, project - LOL Hope it does something 'cause i've been at 15% for a LONG time. BTW - proj youre lookin like 11-12% to me. No 6 pack but you don't have any love handles or chest/belly fat. Nice place to start dude.

**mperk** · 09-22-2009, 04:45 PM

Okay dudes - here it be! that's where I'm at a whooping 205.7!!! 6 am no food just went piss. and here's a body shot - doesn't get much more relaxed than that. you can see I have a nice protective layer of FAT which ranges from 1" thick at my waist to 1/2" on my chest and belly. Fingers and toes are quite lean - I'd say around 6% - LOL the rest, well, we're lookin at 15% at least. Going to start logging my diet too. I'm on 125 mg.week test as TRT - will start a cycle in Oct.

**projecthatch92** · 09-22-2009, 06:13 PM

you're one tall son of a bitch that's for sure lol. you weren't kidding about them shorts!

**HawaiianPride.** · 09-22-2009, 07:28 PM

Ah the joy of TRT protocols.

Starting creatine tomorrow, have been off of it like 2 months, hopefully will give me a little boost.

Ya mono. Last time I started taking it I think I only gained like 2 or 3 lbs water. Getting excited to hit 200 already.

Alright here's a pic with my shirt off. Unfortunately I am not allowed to get naked and weight myself at the gym. LOL! I wouldn't want to anyways there's some questionable characters around

I do have my shoes and shorts on so give or take 2 pds at most

Note: It should say 210.2 the 2 at the end kept fading in and out. I usually weigh around 207-208 with no clothes on

**projecthatch92** · 09-23-2009, 02:20 AM

nice dude looks like I got some competition from you. I weighed in at 208 butt naked, and yes it was at the gym lol. got any body shots?

I gotta get off and pay attention to it. I'll talk to ya soon bud. Keep those weight gains coming!

Train hard!

**Medic08** · 09-23-2009, 06:42 AM

Perk you sure your 15%? You have upper abs and just look lean all over. I would say more like 11-13%. Nice chest and shoulders.

Egotrip · 09-23-2009, 11:25 AM

Here I am 195 pounds of an assortment of fat, muscles, and bones. The bulk I am on is working, but I can't take the growth in the midsection. I may be marching in place for a while as I am about to increase cardio to help keep the waist in check.

Critiques are welcome.

**projecthatch92** · 09-23-2009, 11:54 AM

nice pics bro. Your chest is huge!

Thanks. Chest and abs have always been my strengths. That's why it hurts to see I added an inch on my waist. Now all I have to do is get the legs, delts, arms, calves, traps, and back to match.

**Kaboom** · 09-23-2009, 05:51 PM

Ego how tall are you? Im guessing 5'6-5"7

**islander** · 09-23-2009, 07:55 PM

Kaboom I think its time for some new pics enough of this hiding out baloney.

**projecthatch92** · 09-23-2009, 07:57 PM

I agree.

Islander, you want to take part in the competition?

**islander** · 09-23-2009, 08:08 PM

I injured my sacroiliac joint (lower back) 3 weeks ago. I keep thinking im feeling better and going to gym every 4 days after I start to feel better and re injuring myself. Being in a comp would not help. Plus if bf is not being a factor I could probably gain 10 pounds in a week. Plus im on a cut I want to go down not up lol.

**projecthatch92** · 09-23-2009, 08:13 PM

I dunno about everyone else, but that seems like a threat right there
