Before and After - Proof my training works

[coolcolj]

Actually I don't really watch what I eat much
I just make sure I eat something every 2 hours. Junk food and all.
And that I don't eat within 2 hours of bedtime.

In the Before pics, yeah I had to watch what I ate, or else I would get fat real fast, but after I started gaining some muscle, my metabolism just shot up, and right now I eat whatever I want within reason and don't notice any fat gain, and I think its also because I train so often, and cause so much "damage" that the body is constantly requiring a huge amount of energy and resources to repair and recuperate.

Once I add sprinting to the mix, I'll be in slight negative calorie deficit
The large amounts of fish oil I take also help me from getting fat as well.

Yeah, Cool, I hear ya' man. I used to have to watch when I went to eat some oreos or somethin' =P. The other night I gave myself a treat of about 20 of those lil' devils, and was like, "Oh shit, I'm gonna start gaining". I went to sleep right after that too. Hm, then I realized nothing would happen overnight, so I kept eating them. Within 3 days the entire bag was gone. And guess what, I have not one pound of extra fat on me. Muah haha, I am godly. Or I just do alot of boxing now. Since I lacka heavy bag I use sparring gloves and punch the wall in the basement. I made four holes so far, dad's not too happy, but who cares!

CoolJ,

hey man, nice results...

have you seen any results with your quickness, and hops out on the basketball court???

you should measure your vert and track it (if your not already doing so) and post your results?

you got me doing hang cleans and hang snatch and i love em. I can really feel a difference on the court...giddyup!

Could anyone tell me what exactly the Yates Row is?

Could anyone tell me what exactly the Yates Row is?

I believe it a bent-over BB row with palms facing AWAY.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Yates rows is basically a 70 degree Barbell row with a reverse grip (palms up), but I do them palms down because my wrist feel a bit uncomfortable. DOesn't hurt the effectiveness of it though, but I think you are stronger with a reverse grip.

sean34 -

Ive only played BBall twice in the last 4 months - training is my priority at the moment But I did play 3 weeks ago, and boy talk about improvement!! Ok my speed, first step, hand speed and dribbling control just improved like I couldn't believe. Not only that but my shooting improved a lot too! WHich is odd because I haven't done any shooting in months!

And yes my jumping did improve about 3-4 inches. I don't bother measuring my vertical because its difficult to do so at my place and its never accurate, I just use the rim as a guide. before I could get my hand above the rim, but not dunk it, now I can dunk it with one hand

I did measure my standing long jump, it went up by 7 inches to an inch under 9 feet. Hope to get to 10 feet soon, and then 12 feet one day There is a female thrower that can jump 12 feet, and I can't let her beat me

---

About that girl - Mixed girls have the best of both worlds and fortunately I'm surrounded by them

BTW I'm on fire this week, I'm breaking PRs left, right and centre. Set new PRs on hangcleans, hang snatch and powersnatch. A new PR for powercleans next week me thinks

Still getting stronger, bigger and more explosive everyday!

Clothed comparo

I get double takes and second looks from people I know and other people I have seen a while back in the gym
The next 10lbs I gain will be even more dramatic a difference I think.

BTW that female thrower has a 10 feet standing long jump not 12 feet as I said
