You're forgetting the feat of strength he's demonstrating in the picture. Look at him strapped up pulling that suitcase! Phil Pfister-- look out!

Is the accompanying picture the before or after?

This was over the Winter...he is looking a little stacked

From Caviston's post and this one, the pattern seems to be appearing that THE BEST PEOPLE IN @F are as awesome at some events as a 14-15 year old, or as a first/second year child gymNAHST.

Or an 80 year old man. That's great stuff Quack.

Where'd you even find the @fit throwing distances? Their results page just lists overall results from the "skills" event it was mixed in, hiding the actual numbers. Any numbers that can actually be compared with another athletic event somewhere (I'll be gawdamned, I had no idea softball throwing was actually an event anywhere) have to be buried in a circuit, like their max snatches combining with L-sits and whatever else they did with that.

Under ASA rules, it's 250 feet from the fence to home plate. One male @Fer could have done that.

Dallas and Melissa are training at Gym Jones now, IIRC, and thus, anything Dallas says about Mass Gain is going to be of little use to anyone who thinks they should gain more than 2# in a mass gaining cycle. They can strut around, pounding their chests about being better than @F now, though, FO SHO!

I haven't checked it out yet, but will download my Pmenu ASAP!

198 to 210 (at 6'4") over 7 weeks; long training history with no effort to gain mass in last five years. Did it by focusing on compound movements at high intensity, eliminating conditioning, focusing on recovery, and sleeping a lot. He ate ~250g P/ 4500-5000 cals/day. Felt like he was eating all the time. Acknowledged the experiment is probably not practical for normal, working people.

About as expected.

I felt the same way about 6 years ago. I was stuck at 225. Couldn't gain weight for shit. So I ate, nonstop all day. 4,000 to 5,000 calories a day got me up to 240. I could have done it better but it got me there. I did it working on the mainline with no set schedule, no set days off, and on call 24/7.

Only took me about 2 years to get back under 200 and then I couldn't maintian it and remain active. 215 to 225 seems to be my static weight. I stay here whether I eat and drink like Henry VIII or if I eat like a @fitter.

Too many "hardgainers" suffer from not eating enough and doing too much. Why do 20 sets of curls when you can do 3 to 5 sets of heavy rows.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

I sit between 250 and 260 all the time due to some bulking up in my early 30s (where I hit 301 for one day, lulz).

I would like to push this back to 220ish, though.

Clean mass gain is like masturbating with a condom. Or, in Rant's case, a dental dam.

So fucking gross.

210 at 6'4" is bulky now? The P&B's Rex just got heartburn and he doesn't know why yet.

I dont' care about any of that

I just want to see Urban's clam.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Nicely put, ProTo.

[sanchezero]

she does look pretty good in that last pic.

Really? A bulking guide from them?

I think someone said it best about hypertrophy and who you should learn it from... call me mistaken but they aren't the example of hypertrophy I am looking for.

Using Paleo to "bulk" is fucking retarded in my eyes. Jesus fucking christ I hate those Paleo disciples almost as much as I hate @fit.

And 5000 calories a day isn't shit. I'll show a motherfucker how to bulk and they won't need to spend a shitload of money at some pretentious bullshit seminar about eating fucking food to do it.

I sat next to a woman in a meeting this morning who had a gluten in her bag.

I could feel it.

Some people/things/sites start off a niche program with good intentions. Then they get greedy and try to grab a little more of the market. By the time they become a one-stop shop, they've lost all credibility but made enough money huckstering that it doesn't matter anymore.

"Grass fed" and "bulking cycle" should never appear on the same page. But fuck that. I guess "DBol + Chinese buffet" is giving way to tapioca pudding and coconut milk.

145x8? Pretty shitty for a 300# dude!

[Shafpocalypse Now]

I don't want to hate on the Whole9 folks a lot, I think they are basically good folks, Dallas come out and said he didn't know why Starrett would toe the line with regards to the sumo DL high pull given that it puts many people right into impingement. I did laugh when Melissa said she had to stop drinking coffee because it made her a bitch. LULZ!

The coffee made her a bitch.

That's even funny the second time.

You're forgetting the feat of strength he's demonstrating in the picture. Look at him strapped up pulling that suitcase! Phil Pfister-- look out!

LOL, I didn't notice the line and automatically assumed that it's some XF dress gayety.
