Any bodybuilders/lifters here?

Damn RFG. That is a tough run of health issues. Hopefully the weight loss will help alleviate the issues.

Like the OP. I was a fatass. Made a life change in 03. Had 2 heart attacks in 11. Won a powerlifting comp in 12. Year to the day I was dead. Had another heart attack in 12. Heaviest fat weight was 270. Heaviest lean weight. 267. I'm 225 here.

Danm dude, you're a beast. Nice work.

What do you set your macros/calories at? How many meals a day? Seems like you're doing something right!

my current stats

height: 5'11''
weight: 175 lbs
body fat: 15ish%
max bench: 200lbs
max squat: 405lbs

i work out 5-6 days a week at golds

 

[RFG]

Macros are at 40/40/20 winter time. I allow more carbs. Summer I'll start on a keto set for 30/45 days. Then to carb cycling.

I'm 5'11" right now I'm at 230. Only a 4 pack. My biggest was 268 @ 12% ish. Best was 225 @ 9%.

This was last summer. I hover at this size most of the time. 225.

Might as well bump the thread, got out of my year and 4 month long relationship a month ago. (Thank goodness) so I actually started the meal plan back up. Some progress back and arms are looking bigger. Getting leaner. For anyone looking for a easy meal plan it's
7:00am Morning: shake (50g protein) & 1Tbs peanut butter
9:51am Snack: 1 Questbar (21g protein)
12:00pm Lunch: shake (50g protein) or 8oz meat w 4oz carbs
1:51pm Snack: 1 Questbar (21g protein)
4:00pm Supps: Creatine, fat burner, Non-stim pre-workout, & Amino Acids during workout
5:30pm Pre-Dinner: 8oz meat w Veggies
8:00pm Dinner: 8oz meat w Veggies
10:30pm Late night snack: Shake, Questbar, or 8oz meat

Been making ALL KINDZ OF GAINZ on this meal plan. I'm lucky enough to still have a ton of Test still flowing through my veins. But i've had the flu for the past week so i've been slacking.

Traveling too much to stick with a consistent nutrition or workout plan.

Pulled a muscle in my upper back on my right side today. Hurts like a m***** f***.

 

[Renagade132]

I tore a bicep muscle about 4 weeks ago, had to get immediate surgery about 3 weeks ago... I hate not being able to go to the gym yet.

I've been wanting to get back into lifting and stuff for a while. I quit drinking soda a while ago and my I lost about 2 lbs. I also quit taking a prescription that was making me really unmotivated. I went in for a yearly checkup and the doctor acted like I was being really stupid or something for wanting a checkup and she never did call in my prescription or actually do the checkup. I was not happy about that. it's for effexor, and the withdrawals are really strange so I was scared to quit taking it but I'm really glad I did. Now I really miss lifting weights and listening to pantera. I think I'm going to get a membership tomorrow. so.. thanks for the motivation, I guess! I need it! my wife will be happy. she's tired of my gut, I think.

You're tellin me....hopefully it's mild and I won't be out for more than a few days.

 

[Renagade132]

Thanks cgalpha08, it a total of 6 weeks wearing and arm brace that looks like I'm a terminator, and then 6 weeks physical therapy they say. Well I'm planing on jumpin on at least the thread mill in a week and I'm sure I can do stomach exercises too. I hate not being able to work out.

I've torn both of mine deadlifting. Fortunately it was a muscle/tendon tear. Not tendon bone. My biceps have dents. But I can pull and curl the same. No issues. Hope ya heal up fast. Injuries suck.

I've been on my keto diet fr going in 6 weeks. Planned average loss was 2# a week. I'm dead on. Saturday weigh in I should hit 221. Started at 233. I'm going to drop to 210. Abs coming in nice. Then I'll switch the diet to carb cycling.

 

[chaos254]

Injuries are tough. I had back surgery a year ago and its been tough getting back to where I was. Good luck with your recovery

 

[Renagade132]

Thanks RFG, and chaos254, I appreicate it.

 

[USMC_315]

I'm in a bit of a motivational slump, what do you guys do to get your fire back in the gym?

 

[owlxxx]

I just kinda like how I feel and look. that's my motivation. It's become part of my day like brushing my teeth, taking a shower, eating lunch, going to work.
