When I'm stressed I buy a king sized Payday and get my nom on. If that doesnt work buy more than one. Payday bars are the best stress reliever in my humble opinion.

Yikes! I guess I never thought about it that way. When I lift alone I squat the weight I can actually do which is 215 (i just bumped up to it last week) I've been taking it slower with him
Because he's completely new and I'm not exactly an expert myself. I'll start squatting what I can actually do.
Also, umm does anyone know how to post pictures on here from an iPhone?

Only reason I'm doing lower weight on square is because my friend can't squat as much as me and I know if I do the weight I can actually do then it would mess with his confidence. However I realize if I'm going to get anywhere near my goals, he's either going to have to get over it or I'll just find someone else to workout with that's as strong as I am.

Haha thanks Joe for the template. I wasn't sure how to go about explaining it myself. Actually I am 6'
I'm not worried about the body fat aspect because I know what I'm going to do for that. I honestly don't know what kcals I'm eating nor do
I know the ratio proteins carbs and fats. If there's a way I can find out I'd love to know so I can give more useful info.

I knew I wasn't gonna get like that in five months before I started. I just wanted to get as close as possible.
As far as reps are concerned for bench I'm currently at 170 doing 6-7 reps for three total sets with a minute between each set. I dont squat very much weight but im at 180 doing 6 reps for three sets I do around 15-20 chin ups and pull ups in three sets as well. I have started incorporating dips into my workout too. Cardio wise I do burpees, star jumps, mountain climbers, bear crawls, stuff like that. I also run hills nearby but that's mostly for track later this year. I'll post my diet stuff in the diet section.
I'll post pics later tonight if not tomorrow. Thanks for the help so far!

I posted a thread about my goal for Youmacon in November so if anyone needs reference It's the same title and shouldnt be difficult to find. Im posting here because I thoroughly believe that Ill achieve the body for the cosplay by proper diet and nutrition. That being said I've been working on fixing my diet up and eating properly, abs are made in the kitchen after all. I dont have any direction in my diet I am just trying to shift to eating whole foods chock full of fruits and vegetables. I'd love any advice on what foods I should be focusing on for the weight gain im gonna need for this goal and any recipes you guys are using now. If there are any powders of supplements I should look out for let me know that as well, thanks in advance guys!

Hey guys hows it goin? So this year my friends have convinced me that i should go to Youmacon with them. you know. one of those anime/comic/videogame convention things. Anyway i figured since 'im going i might as well do it up and cosplay as well. I was going through some ideas and I settled on this http://matteomazzali.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/asura_-0000.jpg (yes i realize this is a videogame) so this is Asura from the game Asura's Wrath and I really liked the game and what not and i figured if im gonna cosplay anyone, i would do him thing is, just want to have the body art or hair, i want to have the same physical condition. So from viewing the picture, you guys can obviously tell Asura is pretty big and strong and I fully realize that I may not get the look exactly i really just want to get as close as i can to the same shape and condition as possible in the short amount of months that i have.
I have already been going to the gym steadily but I can already tell this is going to take more than the strength training I've been doing. from the looks of it Im going to have to put on some weight and muscle too. Getting in the same cardio condition isnt going to be difficult for me. In fact i already know exactly what i'm going to do in that respect. However weight lifting and dieting are still things I'm learning and thats why I decided to make this thread. SO if i want any real hep i might as well tell you guys what Ive been doing so far and my weight and such.
My current weight right now is 191 and im 100% positive that most of it is water weight considering i don't eat very much throughout the day.
I workout with my best friend on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays and our workout consists of beginner strength training workout involving Bench Press, Chest Press, Squats, Deadlifts, Chin/Pull Ups and Rows. All of the cardio i do, I do on my own though.
I dont know how much help I'lll get here but Ive been on the forums for a long time and I trust Chris, Steve and Joe's opinions as well as Alec and the others. I'd be happy to post pics and stuff and any help, advice, encouragement you guys give will be greatly appreciated. I'd like to know what workouts I should be doing to help me buk up a bit and ill post in the DIet section for food advice. Thanks in advance everyone.

Hahaha thanks a lot Joe for the clarification. So it's not necessarily one of those powders or drinks that's promises fast muscle growth after your workout and all that nonsense. Glad I got that cleared up.

Just a quick last question, has anyone found a website that could possibly have the book cheaper but still in good condition? If Amazon is the best I can do then I'm fine with that. Just curious is all.

I just made quite possibly the most important self discovery in my conscious life. I no longer have an interest in the genres of Metal and Rock. Might not seem like a big deal to some people, but both genres have played a very very big role in my adolescence and have seen me through some of the best and worst times of my life. I will always listen to the bands that i cherish most and that have made the biggest impact on me, but going forward, I'm moving on.

To be perfectly honest, i liked it a lot. very relaxing, very subtle and easy to enjoy. Definitely has replay value.

not sure what the acronym stands for, and while i respect your opinion, i happen to thoroughly Rammstein's style. if they were simply industrial rock or whatever others genres they mess around with i probably wouldnt enjoy them as much.

Scored my ticket to go see Rammstein this Sunday. Words can't describe how stoked i am for this concert. i've been a huge fan for some time now and i've only heard good things about the concerts.
