That is a beautiful photo! I miss you my friend!!!!!!

I'm working really hard to make money these days, so I hope to come and see you sometime in 2008

It's just a hope for now but could be reality.

Anyway, great to see you on here and always great to see the family photos!

Training at 6AM. Nice job! Take care my friend.

What was the post watermelon disposal weight???

Since we do not have watermelons in the winter I am on cold turkey right now...

I hear ya on the lack of watermelons during the winter... I could just eat watermelons every day all day 24/7.

Time to move

@Steej: Do you always have access to watermelons? If you do I will: you.

Woke up at 6 and trained the exercises above (each 1 set max) for 25 minutes. Although it was incredibly cold up there the training felt very good and I already see progresses. I did 12 pistols today - 1 week ago I was only able to do 8!
All the other exercises were better, too, except the push-ups but I did these at the end of training...

Costco had watermelons over the weekend.
They weren't as good as the melons I got last summer.

Today I wook up with intense muscle aching all over my skinny body! It feels great to watch my body reacting on the training I do! I love it!

How are the young ones? Obviously you're doing very well.

Well,

Yes I do have full access to Watermelons year round But it is more of a hit and miss getting a good one during the winter...

I have downed more than one large watermelon in a day

Muscle aching is even more intense today.
I already look forward getting on my rings tomorrow morning!

@Zack: The kids are doing great! Marla loves her little brother and always wants to knuddel and kiss him!
You are correct: Although its winter and I do not have melons (I eat lots of oranges instead...) I feel strong and motivated and I will get back to 210 soon. I have lots of trust in my muscle memory!

@Steej: I could get melons as well I assume but they are absolutely out of season...

Good work flanders.
One word:
Orkos.

I was lazy concerning training during the last month. I have no excuse except that my family was really demanding. Nevertheless I managed to work out every now and then and did yoga quite regulary (scorpion, headstand etc).
I ate 90% raw the whole time.
Here is what I typically eat during a normal day:


The only cooked food I eat is some potatoes, rice etc with vegetables or a little bit of bread for dinner.
When I checked my BW yesterday it was 181. That means I added about 7 pounds. A few days ago I bought myself a barbell with 280 pounds of steal.
I will do squats and deadlifts sonce I noticed I need those for developing the massive physique I had two years ago.
I will start squatting and deadlifting today and do BW-exercises as well. I will focus on a whole body workout.

1400 kcal of dates flanders knows how to pack in the raw calories.

IMO 500 gr (about 1 pound) isn't that much...

As I wrote before I bought a barbell!
I will post pics of me working out with it soon.
I deadlifted a little bit (132 pounds/3 sets/about 10 reps) as a start since I still have to build a rack for squats.
The resulting muscle ache is quite intense
I have to increase the weights slowly because my joints (wrist, elbow) have to get used to the training first.
I will train upper body today.
