This was two weeks ago before I got a cold and lost weight (we all know how fast I lose weight). This was also after a workout so I had a bit of a pump:
Here. My skinny ass arms don’t grow.
5’9.5"
170lbs
8-9%bf (estimated)
Legs (my mirror doesn’t go low enough to show calves. And those are normal boxer shorts that I pulled up… not some weird-ass underwear).
Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
Lol at the y-fronts justification 
Nice one man, keep up the good work !
So is Santa bringing you speedo’s for x-mas? Nice work, bro.
^^ What’s a y-front?
^ Thanks, bro.
Dude your ripped!
But I could have done with out the leg shot. lolo
im with mortal.
good physique, impressive even, but the second pic should be reserved for ming yue and the like.
Well, I posted a leg pic because I do squats. And after I talk as much smack as I do on here about people who don’t do squats/do squats properly, I don’t want to be accused of being Mr. I-only-do-bench-and-biceps-curls chicken legs. I labeled it a leg shot, too, so you had fair warning. I can’t help it if you guys are hom0phobic
lol y fronts are the speedo style underwear that has a slit in the front so you can whip it out easier.
As opposed to boxer shorts.
I’m pretty sure all guys’ underwear, boxers, and boxer-briefs have that y-front.
Don’t let them bother you, IronFist. You go ahead and post as many pictures as you want.
thats the word for them briefs with the slit in the front.
Wong sent me a PM saying he’d send you a pair of crotchless briefs if you’d wear them in your next shoot, Iron.
Sounds good to me, since I left my other pair of crotchless briefs at somebody’s mother’s house.
Iron
just out of curiosity, how do people not do squats properly? Thanks.
nice pics.
Hey IronFist,
Nice pics man. I’m about your size, but not ripped, just trying to get that way. I’m working on putting on about ten to fifteen pounds of muscle mass. Unfortunately, i’m a hard gainer so it’s really hard.
I’ve been meeting with a personal trainer for help though. She told me that ripping will be the easy part and the mass will be difficult.
BodhiTree, some people like to do squats with their back out of line and using their knees. Very big no no. Though it is nearly impossible to do wrong if they join a gym with a smith machine. My favorite invention…ever.
BTW IronFist,
What is your purpose for lifting? Martial arts? Health? Bodybuilding? Powerlifting?
The biggest mistakes I see are 1) not going down far enough and 2) using bad form. This second one can be broken into a bunch of sub-parts, such as knees coming together at the bottom, knees not following the toes, feet in the wrong position, leaning too far foward, leaning too far backward, rounding the back, using too much back (I’ve seen people do squats that look like good mornings, and while I understand that some wide-stanced powerlifting squats can look like this, this is NOT what I’m talking about in this case) and the list goes on and on. Those are the most common ones I see.
I still consider it incorrect even if the form is otherwise perfect but the lifter does not go down far enough. The thighs need to be parallel to the ground, and I’m pretty sure in competition the ASIS of the hip has to go below the knees.
Yes.
Martial arts - my strength has been very beneficial, especially in full-body movements like throwing Thai kicks and grappling.
Health - I never want to be not strong enough to do something. I also try to keep my body strong so I don’t ever accidently get injured (such as throwing out my lower back which seems to be common among people).
Bodybuilding - I used to want to be a big bodybuilder but then I realized that I didn’t have the genetics for it, even at 6,000 calories a day, now “bodybuilding” has been replaced with “having a good physique.”
Powerlifting - I competed last March. Why not be as strong as possible?
Man how did we go from a serious debate about crotchless chocolate flavoured briefs to squats :rolleyes:
Jamesc is the smith machine the one that keeps the line of the squat straight i swear by that machine for squats, i heard a lot of negative stuff about it, but when i was shown how to use one, i swear it is amazing for squats its the real deal, i couldnt imagine squatting without one.
As for the hard part being the mass, one thing ive started to realise, being around ppl recently who went from my weight of under 70kilos to under 100 kg in 1 year its quite simple how they did it.
There is no such thing as enough food
There is no such thing as over training !
lol
This is how im going to try it next time round.
