got a few logs to post, but it is measurement day!
Got home really late last night at 4:30 am, had a pretty fun night...I never had a girl stare at me as hard as a girl did tonight checking me out. I was talking to my friend, he had his back to the girl, she was sitting on a bench about 10 feet away. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she was looking at me, so I glanced over at her and she smiled at me and kept looking, so I gave her a half smirk and kept talking at my friend. I noticed she kept staring at me, so I told him "I cannot believe how hard this girl is staring at me" and he shuffled over a little and turned his head slightly around and was like "Damn bro, she must be really feeling you..." He turned back around, and now was directly in front of her line of sight, so she actually stuck her head all the way out and to the right so she could continue looking and smiling at me. Kind of creepy to be honest with you. She wasn't bad looking, but damn...
Measurements:
Chest: 48 inches(unchanged)
Waist: 34 inches(unchanged)
Arms: 15 1/4" inches(-1/4" from last week!!)
Hips: 39.75 inches(+.25 inches from last week!)
Quads: 28" inches(+.75" from last week!!)
Calves: 17" inches(unchanged)
Weight: 188.6(down 1.6 pounds from last week!)
BF: 12.0%(up .6% from last week!)
LBM: 165.96 lbs
Think I might be slightly dehydrated, which is why the lower weight, good gains on quads again...thought for sure arms would have grown as I hammered my triceps a few days ago...
5 more days

way behind in logs, so they are:
MI40 Day 31 Wednesday
HIIT cardio after destroying your quads is never fun, however, I pretty much ripped it off without much of an issue after doing 3 quad stretches for each leg and then warming up for 5 minutes...
20 minutes total, alternating 1 minute high and 30 seconds low...

Finished MI40, had some good results, although I believe I would have been better served running this after rebuilding some of my strength...
Went on vacation down to South Carolina for a week and with all the food and fried everything down there(which tasted awesome, btw), I gained 6 lbs, even while doing sandbag workouts in the Carolina heat and playing racquetball for an hour one day...I even went to a country bar/club(omg I have never seen such a high percentage of hot girls in one place in my life---most wearing tight ass jean shorts and cut off tops...)
I learned a few things.
1) I would weight 300+ lbs if I lived down there because everything they eat contains huge amounts of either sugar or fat. Ribs, chopped barbeque, fatback, lard, pies, cakes, cobbler, cornbread, sweet tea, etc...
2) I would end up divorced because the girls down there are hot, sexy, friendly and easy...a bad combination, especially when you are in shape and stick out like a sore thumb in the 4th fattest state in the country.
Started famine yesterday at 197.4 lbs, took in about 1600 cals while doing HIIT cardio in the morning for 20 mins, 1 min high, 30 secs low, and then first famine workout at night.
Squats: 225 x 6/245 x 4/ 245 x 4
superset 1 arm DB Rows: 80 lbs x 4/ 80 lbs x 6/ 80 lbs x 6
Seated Cable Row: 160 x 6/200 x 6/ 220 x 4
superset pullups: BW x 6/ BW x 4/ BW x 4
Standing Bicep: 100 lbs x 4
Preacher Curl: 140 lbs x 6
Seated DB Curl: 40 lbs x 6
Woke up this morning and was down to 195.2 lbs, went and did some HIIT cardio this morning, same as yesterday, no lifting...

On a funny note, while I was at the country bar I talked about in the previous post, I was out with my Brother-In-Law and 2 of his friends who were born and raised there, so they knew a lot of the people there and were introducing me to a lot of people(lots of groups of girls). Of course, I couldn't just let this slide, even with my brother-in-law there who told me whatever happened at the club would stay at the club(at least within reason---I am cool with most of her brothers like that).
So, a little back story, everyone there(including the girls/women) are huge college football fans, and in that part of the state, they are South Carolina fans. Their nickname are the Gamecocks, a type of chicken. It is often shortened to Cocks. Now, me being the super jackass I am when I was out, was getting introduced to girls and then the first question out of my mouth was: "So, are you all big cock fans?" Of course, they were mostly like "Hell, yeah!" in their sexy southern accents, thinking I was talking about the football team...reactions were hilarious when I told them that wasn't the type of cock I was talking about...
Lots of playful slaps and "OMG! We are GOOD girls down here!" and "Where are you from?"(I stuck out like a sore thumb...was the only person that didn't have shorts and a T-shirt on or jeans, and as soon as I opened my mouth they could tell by my non-accent)...so this one girl that told me she was a good girl had a few tattoos on her back and a tongue piercing, so I told her she couldn't be that much of a good girl since she had tattoos and a tongue piercing. She smiled at me and said "You should see my other tattoo if you like those ones..." and proceeded to pull her jean shorts down to reveal a tattoo right above her nether regions. Of course, I wasn't going to pass up a golden opportunity, so I said "You sure it doesn't go down further than that?" and put my finger inside her jean shorts and pulled them out, giving me a direct view of her landing strip...she laughed and said "OMG! What is with you people from New York!" and slapped my hand away. I then proceeded to ask if she had any tattoos up here, and put my finger in the V area of her shirt and pulled it down a little bit, and she laughed and slapped my hand away again and said "Watch it bubba!" and smiled at me...
I asked her if she liked cornbread and she said "everyone down here likes cornbread!" and I said I could tell and she said "How did you know?" and I told her by the way her ass sticks out of her jean shorts like that...she laughed and turned it toward me a little bit and stuck it out so I smacked it...her friends couldn't stop laughing at that one and told me I was definitely not a "southern gentleman"...I then noticed her and her other really cute friend exchanging glances and smiles with each other for a few seconds and she turned to me and said "What are y'all doing after here?" and I told her I was with them(talking about my BIL and his friends), so whatever they were doing was what I was doing...she then said "Y'all should come over to my house and go swimming with us"...
Unfortunately I had to turn it down because I knew that I would end up doing more than swimming if I went over there, and the look my BIL gave me when she asked and before I answered told me he was not going to let that one slide, which I wouldn't have expected him to...it is his sister after all...so I told them we really couldn't, and that I didn't have a swimsuit anyways...she smiled at me and said "That's OK, you don't need one..."
Can't get her little sexy ass out of my mind the last few days...I already know I am in trouble if we ever moved down there...its too easy and the girls are too friendly...

Sounds like an alpha female bro, that or a rapist.Hope this kinda shit happens to me when Im in bars/clubs in the US.Im a good looking guy but the girls here in Dublin are something else.Dont like muscular guys and have the biggest standards ever(think its also the area of dublin I live in, north side dublin girls are different and mirin me hardcore) and every american girl Ive asked said that everyone of the chicks would love to get with me over there.matter2003 wrote:got a few logs to post, but it is measurement day!
Got home really late last night at 4:30 am, had a pretty fun night...I never had a girl stare at me as hard as a girl did tonight checking me out. I was talking to my friend, he had his back to the girl, she was sitting on a bench about 10 feet away.

He turned back around, and now was directly in front of her line of sight, so she actually stuck her head all the way out and to the right so she could continue looking and smiling at me. Kind of creepy to be honest with you. She wasn't bad looking, but damn...
