I am def in for this ride, SUBBED, I have seen your posts, feedback , and your knowledge posted here on the FORVM is phenomenal!
If you ever get the chance check out my off-season and leave any feedback that you may have, would love and appreciate your knowledge!
Thanks and anytime man... You get shredded as hell bro, good work in the trenches already! Me, I'm on a mission to put some fat on but all for a good cause years from now.

I am putting a little chunk on myself I changed my goal to get up to 225 lbs that is a 10 lb increase form my original goal. So I can step on stage my next show at 185 bigger and better!
Thanks though, I am just curious as to know and find out about this Secret Shake/Drink?
It's tough finding time to post and sometimes I just walk away from the machine and let it run.
This is going to cause my posts to be a bit choppy but I'm going to try to target one thing at a time and treat this less as a training log but more of a tips log, things that have helped me and/or things that have helped people I have helped. In the name of ANIMAL and my past behavior, I can promise a bullshit free zone that cuts to the quick.
It's my journey but it's not really about ME. I want to add to the vat that is the forvum, that is all.

I swear, once you maintain a heavier weight (not overly sloppy) it tends to stick with you.
I competed at only 155lbs hitting around 175ish in the off season. Then one day I said hell with being in shape all the time and porked up to 207 eating my meals with a vengeance. (I always had a Powerlifting style of training) Though not a total pig, I had hit the all time high of my life. Ever since then, I have tried to maintain that 207 and raised it to 210 recently, at a lower body fat level than the 207. Like you said, at this point I doubt I could ever hit 175 again. All I can suggest is that you don't put too much body fat on. Don't rush, make it all quality gains. Most less experienced make goals of a year or so, I believe 3-5 years is more realistic. After all, what are we going to do...burn ourselves out, then take up golf and chip eating? Fuck no; we are all in for the long haul!
Great meeting you face to face at the last Arnold bro, appreciate the sub. You always had my back on this board since day one.
It was definitely my pleasure meeting you brother, look forward to seeing you again!
Always have to stick together, that is what family is all about!
Strength and Honor.

Going to try and hit a raw lift of 345. Before I hurt myself I have hit 385 raw in the gym so I have a tough road back to that. It's gonna get DONE though.

Cool to see you have a journey now JUGGERNAUT, I'm subbed. Good luck with the 345, you have it in you. Just a smaller step on your way to 385 and 405.

I know the madness which he speaks first hand... Juggernaut is quite the impressive athlete in the gym and one of the toughest training partners I've ever had the luck of encountering. Looking forward to following his training in documented form. Peace, G

Right here folks, is my original training partner and friend I was lucky enough to run into when I first started on this board!!! Welcome brother and thank you so much for giving me a desire to start writing. I do have to give you this credit because I was motivated by your articles and always wanted to put things down in ink after that. I'm going to put my first article down this Thursday, right here first. Don't expect much but expect its truthfulness, that's all I ask.

Well it was either the full moon out tonight or we were just having too much fun benching. Since the sets of doubles worked so well squatting, figured that it would work lovley for bench. After the paused 345 set figured go up by 5 lbs and see how that went, 9 sets later it was all good. Manged to stay at the same strength/stamina for the whole pressing (the set of 0 was when Juggernaut and myself wanted to make it harder, so I set up with my heels off the ground, no good). Whole upper body was pumped, abs were sore by staying tight throughout.....calf raises were done to get them fuckers growing and db presses to cap it off. There were points where either of us would burst out into laughter mid set as the pressing was going on. It was a soild night, a fun night and a very productive night.
I'll let Juggernaut fill you in on how he did.....lets just say 2009 is his year
JUGGERNAUT:
****differences in weight were 315 for me most of the time (not 350 like Big man Wides) but *SMOKED THE 345* after going from a bar warm up to 135 to 225 to 315 then right to 345
sups were my standard shock therapy, intra aid but last night I just had a UniSyn shake and went to bed. Cals are my new friend as I need to add more than what I have been eating. Now for a day of crazy eating and a night off before LEGS Friday....damn I love this shit.
P.S. Not sure if anybody noticed but we are doing something different here.... when we do standard main lifts, we switch the second movement to something entirely different to allow ourselves a second wind for the third one and on and on.... Bench/calves/dumbbell flat bench press, get it? We walked in at 8PM and benched for 1 hour and 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of calves and then 15 minutes of dumbbell flat pressing, to take us to 10PM and left the building. This style allows maximum poundage on any single thing we do.
