Havent seen and comp walkin round yet, but ill PM ya if some strait freaks walk in. lol...In room 558 if you wanna hang when you arrive.silverbackn said:We have been solid for a while. She is coming to the show with me. When you see her you might understand why I fell in love instantly, she has an aura about her. If you look too good, I might have to tell you to leave though, you might steal her. Our love for each other has never been in question, us being has apart has never been because we wanted to be, it's been because of outside circumstances which are very complicated. I am very excited to be with her. She has truly changed my life.
Where I am at currently physique wise.

I want to thank you all for your kind words. This Quad injury was quite an awakening to me. I hope it made soem take pause. Needsize I worry about you bro, keep close tabs on your blood profiles. Silverback, I am glad you are finding your way in life...its a refreshing feeling. Satch, I hope the maturity helps others with less gain more...did that make sense? Again thank you all. The only worry I have is damage done....time shall tell. When you start thinking about every internal pain...its time to back it down.

I hate to stick my own thread but there is a message to others. I do not post a ton but when I do i hope it makes an impact on others in a positive way. I feel and have been told (and tested) that I am of above average intelligence so to me to not use that to help others is a bad Karma move and thats what I am about.

I really admire your determination coming back from that terrible knee injury the way you did. I never once saw you not smiling, and you remained the same cheerful person you always were. I am glad you take the time to makes posts like this, it lets those less experienced gain from what you have learned in life . You have a great work ethic and you will be happy competing at your new weight class. I think you look even better now than you did before. All of your hard work these years will come to light on the stage of nationals.

Quadsweep said:I will start by saying I will try to get pics soon. Anyway, as of last night I was 4.3% @ 209#. I have 199# of lean mass and ...oh yeah I forgot to mention I am dropping to Lt/Hvy class for only the second time in 8 years! I went from 7000calories a day to 2400 a day...basically my lunch before! It was nessary as I had about 205 pounds lean mass and needed to starve some off. I can hear you all now...why the fuck is he doing this???? Answer my son and my woman and my health....in that order. In the light of my quad tear injury I came to the realization that I am 36yo now and this was a horrific injury. I was up to 1200# leg presses post injury but my squat was shit. ( I do not do squats now) I could tell this was not productive and dangerous for me. My rotators hurt my elbows hurt mt back...everything. I ntrained Dorian Yates style for 10 years. I mean 600# squats every fucking week for 3 years! gave me 30" quads but my knees are shit. 525# personal best bench at 228# 405 for reps every week. Torn bicep from 405 bent row.....I am beaten up..I admitt it..but I will never be broken. I now train fast as a MOFO> as one older gym member said "you train like the damn devil!" I do 18 sets of back in 25min. and I am talking bent rows 315# for 15-20 reps hypers and the free chins 20 reps first round then I rest one minute and roll again. i do 3 rounds then I pick 3 more exercises and roll again 3 rounds and I am done! Its a mother fucker. I train every thing this way. Now why the weight class drop. Well my legs are now about 27 inches. which will take 6# off me or so. Thats bad at nationals. The last and biggest reason is the dosages. For me to be a heavyweight at nationals I was shooting and swallowing 2500+mg a week and I was at 1/2 the dose of most in the top 5 I talked to. I was doing 1/4 the Hgh. I wil not do that to myself or my loved ones. Here the kicker. For me to be a Lt/Hvy I am barly doing 400mg a week and my weight is not dropping well even at 400mg! I can basically coast as far as gear goes...even take dare I say it......TIME OFF! Its just the logical thing to do I think...All my judge friends liked me better as a Lt/ Hvy anyway. Thanks for that after I abuse myself for 8 years!Well there you have it!

I am 36yo now
quad-dont u agree that most hi-level BB's reach their most mature and seasoned physiques around the mid 30's----most--not all but most???
Quad,
Good to hear that you have made decisions that is the best for you and your family. Agree family sometimes come first. Learned that the hard way a few months ago.
I'm almost at my personal goal of reaching 200lbs for the first time (now at 195) at age 32. Think i've come a long way from the 110 lb high school senior 15 yrs ago and only 2 cycles under my belt.

For the last 10 years or so the National's winner has almost always been 35+. When I was in the game heavily in the mid '80s the winners were all very young. Lee Haney won Juniors, '82 Nats and World at 22 or so; Gaspari won '84 Nats/Worlds at 21; Shawn Ray won '87 Nats at 23 or something. That was part of the reason I got out. By 22 I hadn't won the Junior Georgia so I figured I was washed up.

But if you truly believe that Jesus Christ is God's son, then according to scripture you must also believe that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus said that He is the Way, and that no one can come unto the Father except through Him. No other religion has claims like this, and no other religion or belief system can be backed up with so many truths and facts. And yes, I agree with you that it does feel wrong saying that one belief is the only way, but what if it is? I believe Christianity is the only way. It's not a hard concept that God gave us free will and it's up to us to find the way. He's not a cosmic rapist forcing His love upon us - rendering our free will out of existance. It's not not that we CAN'T believe , it's just that most don't want to believe. Either you are a believer in Jesus, or you aren't . You can't take the best of both worlds, pick and choose what you want to believe and go with it because in the end you'll stand before Him and you want to hear those words, "Well done my good and faithful servant.."
Sorry, if I'm not being politcally correct here, but I have to make corrections where mistakes were made. let the bombs begin.
