weekly on EVO please
I'll do monthly because that is what I do everywhere else. Why would I show my body while I'm sloppy?
Here's where I'm at, I can't be bothered posting anything anywhere. I'm just over everything. It's been an eventful few months and I am barely keeping up. I barely message people.

Good volume there
really high pumpYou look good for offseason @Dave1288499 i think you can add some mass right now as you're bulking a bit, we need to work on arms as your #1 and shoulders, but not heavy controlled first then heavy
Not really just music, I just find the internet exhausting. When I am home I'm just spaced out on a couch
I did a tidy up recently dropped 10kg from about 16%Good volume there

carbs dont prevent overtraining, thats not correct
My experience this far is if I eat enough my body will recover from anything. I've done way more than this as a natty; my body is built for endurance I did worse volume training to join the army
So why are you posting that when home you're just spaced out on the sofa?
On the pics.
1. Chest or eye level is better vs below navel as per yours
2. Bit of a tan
And you're not really fat so less of the BS description
No I was at work today, but that's what I had been doing as of late when not working. He told me to post but I kinda haven't really been liking seeing my body so I haven't been taking photos. Ok I'm not but for some reason I keep thinking I am that or super skinny
Aw seeing points out of order, #2- I had several bad sunburns but I get dark every summer for someone with (pom heritage). #1a Ah true I use the worst lighting I can ring light is on highest white setting with brightness all the way up, and 1b I legit didn't think of that, I've used higher heights for my nice photos when I want to look good I'll try chest height next week. (Honestly I need to get back into taking progress photos but I've been so repulsed by my body that I get myself in these loops and I'd rather not have what potential mess I'm imagining on my phone)
Here's my arm workout, I'm enjoying training again, looks like I made the right choice. Got a decent pump but it's probably just inflammation. Did 31 sets arms

Put a scoop of protein powder in my intra I'll do that tomorrow too with eaas as well. Hopefully I should be able to prevent another low blood sugar episode next leg day. Everything else is the same.

@Dave1288499 once you build in your conditioning you'll notice the difference. Just be a little patient. You're still a young dude, man. It takes time for muscle to really develop and you're never going to achieve the body you want in life. It's a constant battle once you do achieve the body you want. Then you have to really work hard at maintaining it so it never ends.
That makes sense, I didn't take the putting fat back on part of bulking well. Maybe I need to be more consistent with progress photos
you have one thing you can't get, no matter how hard you try when you're young: the hours in the gym. That's why when you see guys in their 40s and 50s who are super strong, you wonder how did they get that strong even though they aren't working out as hard as you or as much as you? Well it's because they've been at it for 25 years. Just keep at it and be consistent and good things will happen.
That's pretty inspirational, tbh I was considering quitting bodybuilding in this last week when I was vomiting and had pain in my back. (I tend to be a bitch when I get sick because I never get sick). Idk if I should say any more but I keep feeling like I should
bros, its good that you post up some poses right here. Gives you a good goal to set going forward and what you want to achieve. From here we need to continue your consistency. @Dave1288499
Currently my goals are mostly strength related and dated out till next year December
Bros, I hear you. If you check out my log, I was pretty chubby when I first started then I trimmed up nicely so you'll do it.
It's good that you're hard on yourself. That is the alpha mentality and something that I've been trying to teach on here. @Dave1288499 keep being tough on yourself and keep wanting to improve. That's the only way you'll get better.
@Dave1288499 this is a great post right here, posting the different posing routines. Now you can compare it again after three months. Let's see how much you can improve. We believe in you man.
Wow you're doing a great job on this man. The posing routine is on fire. I think I have a great respect for your physique. Keep it up. You look a lot better than you think. @Dave1288499
you can quit bodybuilding if you mean competitive bodybuilding. i mean you can always get back into that when you are older so who cares. but lifestyle and such is for life no matter what. never get away from that.
I meant bodybuilding completely. The lifestyle and everything. I'm not competing for a while I'm not in a financial position and no one in my team are ready either so we doing a long off season
Thanks I don't actually know how I look
Thanks, I don't intend to fuck around. Size is the prize
Oh I am a perfectionist by nature and tend to beat myself up if I am underperforming (I can never live up to my own standards
I've never one stepped on stage, man. I actually was having a brainstorm about this subject today and the reality is 99% of us will never compete. It's like saying one day I want to be a professional football player. It just isn't realistic and, like you said, it's economically not sustainable unless you have money to burn.
So it's not why we do this. We do this so that we can have great energy both mentally and physically throughout the day and sleep wonderfully at night and live a good quality life.

lets keep going in that case
I don't think anyone does but that's the beauty of bodybuilding: we're our biggest critics.
Oh it's literally because I don't have permanent work, I'm making some money from investing but it's only when I get paid. I'd compete if I had a stable income. This last show I was living paycheck to paycheck and I was loving it I was just stressed because of work and no reliable work after
I was going to keep going because I was enjoying the volume
Sounds like you really love it so that’s a good thing and you should definitely do it man as you build more popularity on here you’ll start building a network and hopefully one of the sources steps and will be a big help to you financially.
We'll see but I will put most of my attention to side hustles and work. I'll work on being more consistent but I've been going through a low energy phase and I haven't really been active anywhere
man that is life. i'm almost 50 and I am still hustling in life. it never ends. my advice is enjoy your work and you are still young enough to still go to school and learn new skills that will make life easier as you age
I need money before I can chase a degree. I plan to focus on on special needs and see if I can help people with similar brains but It'll be several years before I can. And getting a teaching job as a man is near impossible
we definitely believe in you 100%.
that is awesome, man. You'll be helping people and you'll get a lot of satisfaction about your work.
Bros, you can accomplish whatever you want in this life.
I feel this need to because of how the system failed my brother and I
It's weird I'm used to being told that I can't
it sounds to me that you have the potential to turn into an alpha. That's the mentality I love.
i think the system fails 99.99% of us on this planet. but it is what it is. we can't harp on it or it will drive us crazy. the happiest people on earth make $1 a day in some of these poor countries.
@Dave1288499 looking good man. Great progress photos

surrounding yourself with positive people is important. That's why you always have the EVO family right here for you.
Normally I get pissed off and tell them fucking watch me. But yeah you are right. I'm looking for people doing what I'm doing to get immersed in this world
definitely in today's world it's okay to just have a family like this on this forum that will always be there for you and always supportive. You don't really need people in real life except maybe a spouse and a couple family members that are very reliable. That's my opinion. I think friends are super overrated. You find out who your real friends are when you move and the friends don't even show up to help.
I have a good circle they've been there for me when I wanted to kill myself and on a less serious note they tried their best to keep me level while I was dieting. What I mean is I want to alter my circle to have more people that have the same goals
then you have what you need, my friend, and you're gonna meet more people as you get older.
- You'll meet people through work.
- It might be one really good friend that you connect with.
- You'll meet people through college.
- You'll meet people through your hobbies.
I understand that I cut my circle down to three people because there was a lot of dead weight
@Dave1288499 you definitely can bro....just stay consistent and dedicated........
Thanks that is the plan

@Dave1288499 you look amazing man, fantastic physique. I don't know why you give yourself a hard time. You have a solid body with a tight waist and nice v-shape. Keep it going.
@stevesmi gives me sh*t when mine goes out (6 minutes is the longest ever). My power and phone comes in via overhead as oppoosed to underground. So if it's stormy it affects them.
Looking good man. That back shot is fantastic. Your back is extremely ripped and lean and your arms look fantastic. @Dave1288499
Bros, not at all. @Dave1288499 stuff going to happen in life. When I was down for two years after my plumbing accident, it wasn't a waste. My mind actually got stronger and I was able to come back very stronger than ever before.
@Dave1288499 impressive job on this man. The physique is looking outstanding. Your biceps are showing perfectly.
Sometimes life gets in the way of your training. It is what it is. Hopefully your sickness gets better and hopefully the weather gets better. What in the world though kind of storm can knock out your power like that though? Is that a tornado or something? @Dave1288499
Just nasty winds, we don't get tornados here
Thanks I'm thinking it's just recovered mostly
We get cyclones but no tornados where I live on the east coast and North you get them but I just don't get them where I live

you're still young man. You will definitely still have a lot of growth ahead and success.
Here's to hoping there's success
that is definitely strange. I wouldn't think you guys got that kind of weather.
No I don't think so, everywhere gets bad weather and we aren't sheltered like parts of Europe. We are literally just an island in the middle of the ocean. Search up cyclone Gabrielle
100% you stick with me and you will get there. i specialize into turning boys to alpha men
oh wow. says 15 people died and 1 missing. 90mph wind
Whole towns where cut off
I just am trying to make my life liveable, I don't believe alpha is a real thing just some really stupid wolf behaviourist decades ago started it based on a captive population and most people haven't updated their understanding
Ha ha you're probably right. But it's still fun for me to show my body off and be an alpha to many.
wow that is something crazy.
