Short1's Road to the USA's. The "Quest to get my bum lean" thread.

[Daisy_Girl]

You ever notice how abrupt some people come off as online? I think Shadow is one of those people. For the most part, it's his typing style - but he also has no patience with stupidity. lol It took me a while to adust to his typing style, but I caught the drift of his "no patience" thing right away.

Agreed. I think I come across this way a lot too - although not as much as meanie Shadow. Some people cannot take blunt-ness, and many of us are so "used to" each other that we forget that newbies can have thinner skin. But I am like that too - I'll tell you you are being a jackass if you are being a jackass.

Weeellll.......hrmph.

you know....I realize that I come across a certain way....some is the typing style....short and to the point(Chemist in me) but I don't have a lot of patience at times when I see the same series of questions or comments all the time.....


This is a buyer beware society - and that extends to assuming some fricking responsibility for your actions and doing some of your own digging before asking the same question a zillion times until you GET the answer that you want to get.

I liked you from the very beginning because of your directness. Daisy Girl is the same way - Sass, too. I always know where i stand with all of you. It's a quality I admire.

As far as your typing style goes - I was smart enough to read between the lines and see you for who you are. Many people feel threatened by you right away. It's an amazing thing to watch - how easily you can piss people off. You'd laugh if you could see me sitting here at home smiling all by myself at some of your responses. You bring out some extreme feelings in people.

It's pretty damn cool.

Hey Shorty....saw this at Trader Joe's & didn't know if you could have it or not, but it called "Greens with Envy" it's in the frozen section...it's a combo of broccoli, spinach, green beans & edamame.....pretty good!

There's a Trader Joes in Tucson - I think I"ll go next weekend and shop there. I can have the veggies.

 

[the-short-one]

Looking over the top 5 - you have better symettry than 3 of them already and more mass than 3 of them.

If we take the EXACT package from the last show and:

1 - cap the delts a bit more
2 - flare the lats
3 - improve quad sweep
4 - lean the legs....


...you will do some REAL damage. The only thing that might hurt you will be lack of name recognition......


BUT



...coming in super ripped, even at the sacrifice of some lbm, is the best way to get around the name factor.



S - yep - you have gained a bit of weight......

How much 6-7 pounds??


Two weeks after a show....that is NOTHING....factor in the ramp down on T3 AND A-dex and CLEN your weight is better than I would have hoped for.

ahhh, the name recognition. everyone must pay their dues, eh?


yeah - 6 pounds. My goal was to keep it under 145 - which I did (phew! 144 ) Is this a typical amount to gain back? I had no idea what to expect.

Based on my experience.......you did GREAT!!

 

[the-short-one]

Based on my experience.......you did GREAT!!

trust me, it would have been more if I hadn't decided to do another show right away. lol

I had a little nagging voice in the back of my head (male, southern drawl) telling me that my ass better not get any fatter, because we have another 20 lbs to drop

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Based on my experience.......you did GREAT!!
