HI5

I'd say im more chasing aesthetics at the moment but i have implemented 5x5 for most compound lifts to help keep strength up while on a caloric deficit still. -------- At the gym today lookin for the clip...whyyyy

Pretty much what Sean Monahan said. Few things id suggest..figure out what your actual goal is, focus on muscle contraction and form. No ego lifting and this could be varied but..free weights >> machines. Also some good info in this thread ..few of the guys really seem to know their stuff so take advantage.

Whats your guys opinions on flat bench press? I recently cut it out of my routine and now just do incline bench and incline db press. Find my chest is developing more this way.

Yep, usually just enough to break a light sweat. Medium incline / speed walk. Been having some issues with my calves lately so some days I'll get on an exercise bike and aim for 130-135 heart rate. Trying to crank it up a bit more now though so HIIT prob twice a week and LISS other days.

Lol...Manny got screwed..I had it 115-113 Pacquiao. Judges give it to Horn unanimous 115-113 Horn.

I feel so damn guilty sometimes knowin I haven't achieved my goal yet. But ya helps keep me from goin insane. I just take my cheat days when i go out with friends or plan them around big events.

Lol, I got close unintentionally on a cheat day. Hit just over 8500cals..felt good but not sure it was worth the extra few lbs considering im still supposed to be on a cut.

Vatos locos for lifeee

Where can one get into bitcoins? Ive got a lump sump of cash coming in and looking for some places to park my funds. Can bitcoins be purchased through any Canadian bank?

Craft beer raises estrogen levels in males and gives you manboobs. Beware! I'm okay with the Pettersen and Julovei picks. Virtanten I hope pans out.

Pacquiao vs Horn July 2nd I think. Lol, no one knows who Jeff Horn is though. Stephen A. Smith kept messing up and calling him John Horn in his interview with Bob Arum. Not sure if he was trolling though. Would have like to see Khan vs Pacquiao instead.

Cruz from the classic Blood In Blood Out movie in the last episode!

My stream cut out on me a bit during the Rigondeaux fight and literally just caught the knockout. Definitely was after the bell but yeah I think he was likely going to win. Lol, man I felt bad for Kovalev but he needs a new opponent next fight. Wards camp really got into his head this fight and you can see he gassed himself out early again trying to stay up on the score cards. It was a really close fight, I had Kovalev up by 1 or 2 rounds before the strange stoppage. Kovalev took a few hard shots no doubt but man, he just stopped fighting. I don't know if he got lost in translation with the ref or what there, could have even taken a 10 count and be ready to fight again. I think Ward would have won this one regardless though, he's definitely the more skilled of the two.

@SILLY GOOSE just noticed your boy Rigondeaux is on tonights undercard.

Incorporated 30min LISS cardio first thing in the morning to my regular routine. Abs are starting to show a bit through the belly flab, increased vascularity in my biceps and arms. I'm guessing 2 more months till I reach my goals. Few months late but whatever, more of a learning experience this year. Next season I'll likely do a 4 month lean bulk and start cutting in Feb or March instead of May.

Anyone ever try a 10,000 calorie challenge? Get to eat a bunch of pizza/donuts..

Kovalev vs Ward tomorrow! Lot of drama leading up to this one and Kovalev was pissed at yesterdays press conference. Rumours of Wards camp trying to Poach Kovalevs head trainer with lucrative job offers to defect.

Man..KD just dropped some cupcakes

^^bench/pullup numbers are easy..i have no idea about the jumps or agility though. At the moment..id prob die during the vo2max.

Great game tonighttt!

This games already better than Preds v Pens.

Meant it as a professional boxer going into the octagon with him. I don't watch UFC much and only fights of McGregor was the one Diaz choked him out as you've pointed out and the ridiculous knockout of Aldo, which I agree he deserves a rematch. He's literally riding the wave and trying to get his payday before he loses his 10min of fame/hype. Fight with Floyd Mayweather always means you'll get paid. Maidana retired after 2 bouts with him.

Apparently he got whooped by Chris Van Heerden in a sparring session. In my opinion he just takes the L vs Floyd and cashes out. Too many good fighters in and around his weight class. Errol Spence Jr Keith Thurman Danny Garcia Shawn Porter Amir Khan Kell Brook Manny Pacquaio Miguel Cotto Terrence Crawford (this guy will fight you south paw or orthodox) All roughly within McGregors weightclass and all guys who in my opinon will kill him in boxing. MMA is another story though.

If Broner leaves the antics at home, it should be a great tilt. I think I'll have to side with Mikey on this one though. Biggest fight from a financial stand point, but its the dumbest fight. This wij should not count towards Floyds pro record.
