2.5 year progress....

[CanadianIron]

I never anticipated becoming an endophin junkie and getting as big as I have (for what i was) so I dont have much for pre pics.

The pre pic is from a year before I started working out when I was 20, the one in the jeans is from a year ago, and the last 2 are today.

Im starting a 12 week test/dbol cycle next week and Im hoping to have better results than my last test only cycle. I put on 10lbs last cycle, went from 195>205 but went back down to about 198 2 months after the cycle. My strength is good, but as you can tell im a huge ecto and putting on weight is flippin hard for me.

Start was 5'10" 150lbs 2.5 years ago, current is 200. Wanna hit 210-215 before the year is up.

[ubcpower]

good progress....nice to see you dropped the Pooka Shells also...

[L3]

i totally see now how you can curl 70LB dumbbells, with strict from, for 8 reps... sorry for doubtin you

:popc2

[CanadianIron]

I forgive you.

^ and if you were being sarcastic, ill get someone to get a vid of me doing it...

....i thought this site was better than bb.com... apparently not.

[dremen]

CanadianIron: Bro you look good, but you could put on a lot more weight if you wanted to. I say bulk up another 20 pounds:)

You can totaly do it man.

Later.

[CanadianIron]

I totally plan to, it just takes me forever. I eat az much as I can every day but if I don't eat enough for what feels like a day 1 lose 5 pounds.. I look at a salad and the weight comes off...

[waderow]

I forgive you.

^ and if you were being sarcastic, ill get someone to get a vid of me doing it...

....i thought this site was better than bb.com... apparently not.

dude... if you post a vid of you curling the 70's with strict form for 8.... You will be the man. I say do it bro!

[CanadianIron]

I don't wanna be "that guy" with the camera but I'll see what I can do bloody iPhones without video capabilities ... If I wait a couple weeks into my dbol it may even be 75s for 8 with good form!

[Memo]

I don't wanna be "that guy" with the camera but I'll see what I can do bloody iPhones without video capabilities ... If I wait a couple weeks into my dbol it may even be 75s for 8 with good form!

how come I can only curl 35lbs for 7 with good form? But i dead lift 380 & military press 80lbs DB

[L3]

this place wanst like BB.com, until ppl start putting up e-stats.

if you put a vid curling 70lb DBs, for 8 reps (each hand), with lets say 95% 'proper form' = i will post a video of me eating at least 1/4 of my boxer shorts, for real, no BS

[waderow]

:popc2

[canadianmuscle0803]

im 250 and i have trouble with 70s with strict form.. if a guy you size can do it then awesome!! just wondering why your not bigger if you can push numbers like that.

boxer shorts? lol wtf?

[GYMBRAT]

good progress bro, keep on juicing, eating and lifting heavy...you may look like myself someday ;) lol j/k

.....boxers yeah I wanna see that "shit" legaliz3 lol

[Krozone]

Hell, I'm ready for the show..
I call "Shenanigans!!"

The hell with TIFF!!

:popc2

[L3]

boxer shorts? lol wtf?

im not going to ruin a pair of gym shorts, and i will really eat 1/4 of my boxers and post a vid, thats a fair size of fabric, not too small, not too big

so yeah, CanI... the verdict is everyone wanna see those lifts....don't ghay out and say "ooo cameras no allowed in gym" ... when theres a will theres a way

to be honest i actually hope you can do those lifts, even though it means ill be shitting fabric for a good day or two...maybe i wont need to wipe my ass it will do it on its own

[Andre]

im 250 and i have trouble with 70s with strict form.. if a guy you size can do it then awesome!! just wondering why your not bigger if you can push numbers like that.

Heck, I have legit 21" arms and only use 40lbs on 1 arm preachers!

[natenator]

this thread gives me good giggles

[LIVEHARD]

Heck, I have legit 21" arms and only use 40lbs on 1 arm preachers!

I have 20.5'' and 30-35lbs for me

[Ritch]

Some hilarious shit here.

[CanadianIron]

I must have freak muscles or something, you guys are totally full of shit if you have arms 17+" and you cant curl 50+ lbs.

I will totally post a video, or even better, if anyone trains between Langley and Abbotsford, ill meet you and show you in person... cause we all know, once I post a video, everyones going to accuse me of using rubber weights.

I sure as shit know I can rep out 8 reps and my arms are under 17".

As for why someone above can dead 380 and dumbell press 80s and not curl 35... you need to work on your arms some more. I was reppin 35's when I weighed 160lbs.

I made an entire thread asking what i should do with my routine to increase the size of my arms based on what I was lifting, i dont e-stat the size of my arms, and i dont need to e-stat my lifts, if I wanted to portray a false identity reflecting someone bigger/stronger I wouldnt post pictures of myself. I would tell you guys my arms were 19" and I curled 80's etc etc.

The purpose of this thread was not to justify prior claims of weight lifted, i simply want a record to compare my end of the year results with and thought Id share, so others could benefit.

[CanadianIron]

I have 20.5'' and 30-35lbs for me

IF thats true.....You have "fatceps"...

:fwave

[Krozone]

Don't ghay out and say "ooo cameras no allowed in gym"


Close enough..



You noted "ill get someone to get a vid of me doing it... "

Well...... wait those couple of weeks while that Dbol kicks in as you stated "wait a couple weeks into my dbol" and then perhaps you'll make good on what you say...

Perhaps...

I am sure there are many who are looking forward to seeing that!
as it's always a pleasure seeing such feats of strength.


Don't become frustrated due to all those who question your ability, as many including myself struggle to curl that weight with little form to speak of.
To do so plainly implies BS.

Save the copouts such as "You'll think it's rubber or inflatable.."

[O-Train]

Who cares if he's throwing around dumbells. Biceps are one muscle group that is easy to injure with heavy weight and improper form. It's not going to matter, if he wants to grow he's gonna have to learn to eat, regardless of dumbell curls or AAS.

What's an endophin junkie?

[CanadianIron]

I'll post a vid..

After you do the curls eat 4 double big macs. That's a vid I want to see.

[AlladdinSane]

.

[Shortdave]

While I do think that food should be a huge priority for canadianiron, I don't think that 70's with good form are out of the realm of possibility, with an arm blaster, or elbows against a wall I am going to say "hell no" but on standing alternating dumbbell curl with a little bit of shoulder drop, it's not impossible.

[CanadianIron]

Exactly, im not claiming to preacher dumbell curl 70's. Im talking standing dumbell curl with minimal swing and keeping elbows forward.

How about 4 normal big macs? double big macs taste like shit.

[L3]

wheres the vid bud lets get on it...

[CanadianIron]

I only have workout partners on weekends... Maybe this weekend.

[C-money]

:popc

[AlladdinSane]

wow.

[AlladdinSane]

Btw, good job CI. Keep on eatin'.

[CanadianIron]

Eating is my no. 1 priority right now.

Just thought Id share too... yesterday I barbell curled 225 for 3 reps perfect form.





































































Psyche!

[Ritch]

^^^ I was so gonna blast you for saying that, you got me!

[Krozone]

:popc


What time does the show start?

[waderow]

Canadian iron. Bro. As much as I need to see the lift to believe it, I really hope you do so I can see some boxer shorts get ate.

[CanadianIron]

Im doing arms today and I will probably hit them again saturday or sunday. Ill see what I can do for a workout partner/camera.

Btw. Anyone know where I can get some 20lb fishing line and some counter weights w/ pulleys? .. kidding kidding


I'll admit you guys have me second guessing myself, i actually had a better leg day yesterday than usual because of the all your doubt... you guys make my ass hurt... literally

:moon

[GYMBRAT]

just keep thinking about watching guess who eat his shorts every time you work out...should be motivating enough...no? LOL

[CanadianIron]

True enough... more than you guys doubt I will come up with a vid, i would doubt him actually doing it...

... and just to add to the comedy fest, my dog eats the crotch out of any underwear he can find, i usually find it when im cutting the lawn. Lets just say, if a human digestive system is anything like a dogs, someone with be shitting spiderman underwear in a few days.

[waderow]

If I had to eat boxer shorts I would boil them for two hours and then cut them up into half inch squares. I would then probably eat them with mustard

[L3]

yaw bro im all in, picked the boxers already... not gonna boil them, but i will cut them into little squares...for easier shitting purposes

if i throw up in the middle of it, ill put that shit back in my mouth, but once im done eating... i will probably puke up the whole thing

im excitedddddd

but it wont happen because someone wont be able to find a camera or partner

[GYMBRAT]

lmao!

[waderow]

ha ha ha chase it with milk then so its easier to puke up and re-eat

[AlladdinSane]

Jeezus guys!!! 70lb DB curls is not that heavy!!!

[CanadianIron]

My thoughts exactly.

All this e-calling out is good for my routine. I dont know wtf was going on today, i repped 335 for 3 reps, first time in a few months and im 6 months out from my last cycle. You guys are helping me.

I did bi's after chest today and managed to rep 65's for 10 right after my chest routine. I wasnt able to do the 70's for 10 today but Ill make sure im fresh when I have the camera, im hoping for some clean reps for you guys, i dont want anyone getting out of their short eating because my reps arent clean enough.

:flagC

[CanadianIron]

ha ha ha chase it with milk then so its easier to puke up and re-eat



You could also go to a sex store and get eadible underwear...

[GYMBRAT]

Jeezus guys!!! 70lb DB curls is not that heavy!!!

my words exactly brutha!

[CanadianIron]

Im not trying to get out of my video commitment, but lets see some other people curling 70+ lb dumbells. Id like to compare my form etc.

For ex. If i matched this as far as form etc, would i be shutdown for shit form?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1hDLiXb3CA

Ps. how do you imbed youtube vids?

IMO the concentric is passable but the eccentric is too uncontrolled in that video.

[L3]

thats shit form as far as i am concerned

[AlladdinSane]

I'll agree.

looks like my technique over half the time ;)

I think his form is bad, but I'm picky. Also he's significantly bigger than you. There are no magic muscles, a given volume of muscle can only produce up to a certain amount of force. Obviously levers, nervous system, muscle fiber type etc. influence this. Still though, the weight (70lbs) isn't what is in question. What people have a hard time believing is that based on the size of your arms you can lift the weight.

Also a strict bicep curl is straight up and down. Otherwise it's a twisting bicep curl which is assisted to a large degree by the brachioradialis.

With a strict dumbell curl using only the bicep (no twisting motion), not creating momentum with your body it is physically impossible for you to curl 70lbs.

The terms of the wager were not clearly defined.

[GYMBRAT]

I know I can curl 70s, but definitely by no means NOT without cheating!

[L3]

DING DING DING!!!

we have a winner

[waderow]

that black guy in the youtube vid is I would say.... twice your size. Not knocking you bro.... actually I kind of like you because youre cool with all this shit, but if youre pics are accurate, your arm size (17") is accurate.................you cant do clean curls with the 70's for 8 or 10 or whatever... If you do it,..... you are a genetic freak, and genetic freaks are few and far between.
Maybe I could see you doing the 70's for hammer curls....maybe 4 with poor form.

I say this because I have seen my share of iron and gym time..... not because I am an asshole

[O-Train]

Exactly. If you want to know how strong your biceps are do the dumbell curls seated with palms facing up (supinated) the whole time. Or better yet do strict spider curls or concentration curls with a dumbell. The bicep muscle isn't very strong and no one will ever get well developed large arms unless they have big triceps. I don't think the biceps are designed to handle heavy weight (at least not with poor form) and I don't think they should be trained that way. That's just my opinion.

And say he can curl the 70`s for 8 or ten reps all while having 17 inch arms. Then what kind of poundages will he need to get 18 inch guns? 100lbs. Something is not right here.

[CanadianIron]

There's a reason Arnold through a strap and 2x4 over his neck to curl. If I claim to do 70lb standing curls I think a certain amount of deviation from perfect form is assumed. However I stand by my claim of 70 curls for relatively clean reps. I never claimed perfect 70lb concentration curls. I still think my arms are stronger than most with 16.5" arms. I'll post A vid soon you all can judge..

[CanadianIron]

Got that video... just need to figure out how to crop it and find a place to host it.

[gsxr750]

Oooooooooo ^ I recognize that pic in your avatar, wasn't he another member here? Same hat, same backyard, same black and white photoshoot? Canadianmuscle?

YouTube works well.. quick and easy sign up and go.

Youtube is good but may take a bit before you can share it..

So after Youtube upload it here and give us the link :D So does someone have to eat their boxer shorts or what?

Dont they make you wait a day before you can view the video?

We'll see, i think the reps look pretty good.

[CanadianIron]

Reps get a bit messy around 6, but i say theres still 8 respectable reps there.

[gsxr750]

HAHAHAHA SOMEONE IS EATING BOXER SHORTS!!!!!!

Quite impressive. Alot better form than I was expecting my man. Well done.

[CanadianIron]

Thanks, i was filming into a mirror, what looks like my right, is my left, and I probably could have done 10 clean reps with the left, the right was lagging a bit.

Let hope everyone else agrees that its boxer worthy.

[L3]

for the record, its my opinion thats a great whole upper body workout

but since you did post the video

ill be eating my shorts tomorrow

[Shortdave]

I like it!

In the future I personally would like to see a slower eccentric, you had one rep that I thought was perfect, but all in all the rest were passable to me.

[CanadianIron]

I curl 65lb a lot cleaner, But I find a heavier, dirtier set brings up my clean rep weight...

[gsxr750]

MEAL #1
5 whole Omega-3 Eggs (with 4 additional whites) and 1 pair boxer shorts (trimmed)

[waderow]

I'd put the boxer shorts into a stew maybe. soften up the fibres a bit

[BAM]

I want to see legaliz3 eat his shorts.. link plz?

lol

[ironwill]

Good work duder.........:tu
well, thats what it is all about......:flagC

[PdH]

IMO, those reps were very passable. Good job Bro. I'm looking forward to the response video. :)

[GYMBRAT]

good work bud, keep ater!

[ironwill]

i watched again, you fooler, that is 07 lbs........7lbs......:):popc2 jk bro
I love these moments, they make my day......seriously.......:flowers
CC is on her way home to make my nite....muahahaha

[CanadianIron]

So lets be honest here guys....

How many of you will be picking up 70's on bicep day this week? :D

[L3]

the camera auto turned off and didnt record shit

so you'll have to wait till tomorrow, not doing it again today, wanna see how many pieces i shit up, looked like i puked up 3/4ths of them

again, sorry to make you wait longer

now i am litterally eating 1/2 pair of boxer shorts ****

[PdH]

This bet really isn't turning out in your favour is it?

[L3]

yeah, im not feeling so hot right now

but i wont dissapoint....

[ironwill]

iI dont want to be a party pooper but lets be sensible here.....I had a friend that had his dog become very sick, he couldnt understand what was wrong...The dog hadnt shit and was in agony...He took the dog to the vet....Not much they could do....The pooch died....

Some sick bastard gave his dog , which never left his yard unattended,, a mixture of cottonballs and hamburger......painful sick death.....bowel blockage......

Now what are gotch made out of??????

What to learn from this.......?
Mix it with hamburger when you do this.......jk,jk:ne
Honestly dude, i think maybe canadian iron, or someone can think of something creative for you to do.....
You do need to do something for sure..no doubt...just stay alive...

I wouldnt say anything here as i know you dont have a whole lotta love for me, but i read you have already attempted this....Please think it over, or just maybe do it over a course of a month or 2, it may clean your innards if taken in moderation..,
But the story i told is as serious as a heart attack bro...

[L3]

i appreciate the thought, so ill wait at least a week or two before doing it again.

if anyone is interested ill still upload the part that got recorded

for the record, i really did eat them, wasnt TOO bad cutting into little pieces helped

[CanadianIron]

How about you just upload a video of yourself curling 75lb'rs for reps :)

[L3]

allright i'll give it a try

[baza]

Shaky after the first couple, still impressive though.

[cheesesteak]

I cant' get it to work on my shitty computer. Anyway you can youtube it?

[CanadianIron]

Try another computer, i hate youtube.

i had to dl some divx thingy, i know nothing about computers......at all, but somene will know what i downloaded...had to go to a site to get it, then it worked...

[Ritch]

Can`t see the vid either, and don`t know shit about computers to get that vid to work. It was saying how I had to disable the pop up function and I ain`t doing that...

[HoliTheCat]

This thread was fun.

[natenator]

Not a bad vid. Pretty sloppy if you ask me but still decent amount of weight so kudo's to that.

Poor LG3 lol

[monkey]

Can't see it as well... but who cares, this thread was more entertainment that I could have asked for.
Can't see the form, put seems like a good ass weight for your size ( I am not lifting that.. yet)

[CanadianIron]

I think my size is decieving, i have a pretty narrow build, but im thick like a tube. Most people would guess my body weight at 180lbs but im actually 210. So usually people are staring at me thinking "No ****ing way" when I put up weight... shitty build, but I concider myself strong for how I look.

As for an update on the arms, they're measuring up 17.5" these days. I dropped about 5lbs after finishing my 4 weeks of dbol. Im just hitting the 5 week mark with the test cyp so Im expecting the gains to continue.

Cycle is going good so far. Gonna see about getting the wife to take some better pics, i personally think the first pics I posted poorly represent.

[z83]

i'm the opposite (upper body)
I look "big" but i'm not strong

19" arms, can't dumbell curl over 50lbs

[vlad]

Hey CanadianIron what is your bicep routine? Do you do them by themself or with another body part like back? What do you think is better? I do back and biceps and I am getting pretty good gains but I would love to have much bigger arms (17" for me).

[vlad]

Thats Frank McGrath, he does all the universal ads.

Hey CanadianIron what is your bicep routine? Do you do them by themself or with another body part like back? What do you think is better? I do back and biceps and I am getting pretty good gains but I would love to have much bigger arms (17" for me).

I do them 2 different ways..

Sometimes after a heavy lat workout Ill do a set of curls and concentration curls... other days Ill do an entire arm routine with Tris and Bis and I'll do some hammer curls, barbell curls and dumbell curls... Im not sure which has been better for me. Both seems to crack my bi's pretty hard. Im finding that concentration curls at the end of a bi workout have helped a lot, you can really focus on stretcing out and contracting the bi's with a lot of effort, it compliments the heavier sets involved in the routine.
