I think everyone is trying to get ripped ON spring break

 

[Quasmo]

Yeah, I plan on being ripped out of my head during spring break.

You're pretty much wasting your time, OP.

Women and buses aren't worth running for - sooner or later another will come along.

Seriously - why go crazy attempting to get ripped just because some superficial b1tch goes on and on about muscular guys? If she's that concerned about looks, eventually she'll find someone better looking than you, guaranteed. And if that's going to happen eventually, consider that 10% body fat @ 180lbs is good enough to get some decent looking ladies, so just relax have fun, and find a companion that isn't constantly making you feel inadequate.

I don't know any girls that likes huge steriodial beasts but I can bet there are some out there like that...

As for me I'll be ripped up by mid summer or so with the amount of training I do. I'm fairly lean but I am back to hurdling training so that will lean me to no end.

My motivation is to out lift everyone and run faster then them . I'm obviously not going to beat everyone but I'll have fun tryin to

In all honesty I feel insecure about my body when I am not in my best shape anyway, so part of it is for me, and yea part of it is because I feel like I will have a better chance of locking this woman down if I do it. I mean I could be looking into it too much, but it can't hurt, you know? And yea, that would be a really gay reason to leave someone, but why take the chance.

lmao @ ripped off my head. That is the fine balance isn't it? getting ripped and drinking whey protein all day, EXCEPT when you are drinking Vodka. Luckily alcohol doesn't have a high conversion rate to fat in isolation, but combined....OUCH!!!!

I've done it before, but never when I actually had a clue about how to get girls. When I was 17-18 I was in such good shape I actually took out the girl who worked the front desk at my gym. I was 5'9" 200 lbs @ 6-7% bodyfat.

Over time, I kinda let myself go. Right now I am about 180 lbs @ 10%, but I am going absolutely insane at the gym this week, did 100 minutes on the exercise bike today while taking ephedra, caffiene, green tea extract, etc.

The girl I am seeing now always is talking about buff-ass wrestler dudes, so I am using that as a bit of motivation to reach my target of 5% bodyfat. I know I am not going to be huge this time, but built, yes. I told her that I thought most women prefer the "Men's Health" look to the steroidal beasts, but she disagrees. Now I am confused again...but figure I will just do the best that I can do naturally (as in legal).

If a steroid user has breasts he is using improperly and is asking for trouble.

When is your break? There really isn't a whole lot you can accomplish in a week in terms of visible changes. Also where did you get your bodyfat estimates from? You realize that IFBB pros typically step on stage at 5%, right?

 

[D22]

I always read the pros step on stage at 3%...most of my info came from Elite Fitness forums back in the day, and some books too though.

5-6% - cannot pinch fat at all on trouble spots, meaning "love handle" area has almost the same fat as the calf. massive bulging 6-pack protruding out of abdomen...

Obviously the BF% can be lower if you are obscenely large since there will be more muscle to offset the amount of fat weight. Right now my abs are visible, but far from protruding out.

Yea yea, I know that isn't scientific but I was always more of a "mirror guy" than a skinfold caliper scientist about it

Edit - first break starts after this week, so that gives me a week to drop 2.5-3.5 lbs. 18 lbs current fat - 3lbs would put me at around 8.4% bodyfat, still worth it. GF's break is first week of april, so I got plenty of time for that one.

You're already in good shape, but your girlfriend expects better?

Dump her.

This is most certainly GH gut. ie. Ronnie Coleman.

 

[D22]

there are different extents of protruding abs. If you do alot of power lifts like squats and deads, you have a different look to your abs than little mr. situp boy. I don't mean GH gut, just nice very muscular abs that stick out a little. Maybe protruding was the wrong word.
