Is me half assing it. And like I said, I looked as big as you do, only with less fat.
You claiming you worked out twice a day, 6 days a week, with your results, YOU should be asking for advice. Not giving it.
Anyway, I don't want to derail this thread any more. Just come back at me bro when you have less tits.
Me being fat and not working out is less sad than you working out like an Olympian and having moobs.

My person goal is to weigh 245 pounds, be equally as strong (physcially, not aesthetically) and to be able to get through 10 rounds no problem. All of this has been a success for me minus hitting my target weight which I have 10 pounds to go.
As far as 'bodybuilding' goes, then by god, I am a colossal fat ass compared to those types, no doubt, they are low bf and jacked. Just different goals, that's all.

Is this a cruise, or a fly in/paint the streets red kinda thing?

I challenge you to a dance off. I'm flying over to Wales for my 40th in October, and my wrists are healed up. (kinda, they still both pop when I clench my fist (which is often))
I'm going to dust off my weights and get back on it. I'll use this thread for motivation.
This thread and cryfapping.
I'll show you all!!!!!!!!!! (runs off)

This is hilarious. I actually almost started an official HCAF swole thread last week seeing as to how we usually get a thread relating to losing weight or getting more skrenth on a weekly basis now.
anyways, I'm getting to the point of taking more desperate measures to lean up. I had 2 things working against me... I wasn't really clamping down on my diet and I was only going to the gym 3 nights a week.
After 2 months of not really doing much with my diet but bumping up to a 4th night in the gym, I'm seeing some results. Interestingly enough, I haven't lost a single pound.. gained 1 actually
I'm 5'10" 179lbs right now and my goal is to basically be around the same weight (hopefully more) by the end of the year but less body fat %. I have no idea what my current BF% is but back the first week of feb, I snapped a couple of initial progress pics. I forgot to take any in march but going to get a couple more this week for April.
My goal is to stick with my 4 night routine for the next few months and monitor not only what I'm lifting in the gym but also look at the progress pics.
I don't really want to sacrifice much more on my diet because I feel like it's at a point where if I cut back any more, I think it may bum me out and if 1 extra night in the gym means I can eat a few things I like but may not necessarily be THAT great for me, so be it.
As far as my diet goes, here's a typical day.
Morning - Coffee w/a scoop of chocolate muscle milk protein powder and a little fat free milk.
Late morning - 4 scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of turkey bacon and a pack of plain grits
Lunch 1 - broccoli and hummus dip, cup of the plain chiobani 0% non fat yogurt and some granola mixed in, almonds and a few slices of deli meat turkey.
Lunch 2 - either a couple of grilled chicken thighs or grilled turkey or beef tenderloin
Afternoon snack - Sliced apple with smuckers natural peanut butter
Pre swole shake (not every day) - NO xplode, 1 tbsp BCAA and 1 tbsp creatine
Gym
Post swole shake - cup of water/cup of non fat milk and a scoop of muscle milk
Dinner - grilled salmon fillet and pack of frozen asparagus except wed (and sunday) nights when I go get sushi.
Anyways, I'm doing squats/lower body twice a week. Mondays and either thursday or friday depending on if I skip a night for whatever reason during the week. I neglected my lower body literally for the last 10 years lifting. I NEVER did lower body and I believe that's the main reason why I don't look how I feel like I should look after 12 years of lifting. I've put on 70 lbs since I started but some of it is fat.
To put it in perspective, for a 10 rep set, I can DUMBELL bench press more weight than I can squat...
I can't do any heavy olympic style lifting though due to a spinal condition so I do low(er) weight front squats (usually start at around 220lbs and do 6 sets ending up at around 165~170 on my 6th set)
I do that twice a week and supplement with lunges. Usually start with a 45lb dumbell in each hand and do 20 reps, 2nd set I drop down to 35lb dumbells and then the last set (or 2 if I do 4 sets) will be with a 25lb kettle bell in each hand with arms fully raised up over my head.
I can't do deadlift or cleans as there is a high risk of pulling/tearing a muscle in my lower back but I do other stuff like kettle bell swings, 20lb med ball wall toss, calf raises, jump rope and bench step up's with dumbells.
Aside from all the rest of my gym routine, I finish every night in the gym with about 5~10 minutes of rowing machine at the highest resistance. I'm trying to convince the wife to let me buy us a rowing machine so I can do that every morning. I could easily wake up 15 minutes early and do that to wake me up (I'd love it actually) but the concept 2 machine that our gym uses aren't cheap.
That's all I can think of for now. This is me as of this weekend.
I'm going to try kenny's shake this week too. Looks awesome and I freaking LOVE cottage cheese I can dump a cup of the non fat kind into a bowl with a big scoop of guacamole, diced up turkey bacon and a diced up chicken breast or a can of salmon that I've spread on a piece of tin foil with some lime juice and cooked in the toaster oven and tear that bowl of "swole salad" up.
