Canadian working out again after 5 years - Page 4

#**121** February 2nd, 2005, 06:37 AM

I took a close look at the images. They are large (dimensionally) but not really too big (voluminously). They range from 80 to 120 KB, which at typical dial-up speed (56Kb/sec) should be downloadable in no less than approximately
(80 / (56/10)) = 14 seconds.

I've got broadband and I get them loaded "zip, bam, thank you mam" so that indicates that the server can hand them out quickly (through it's broadband port).

Don't know what this proves other than my engineericly insatiable need to analyse everything.

CanadianGordon · #**124** February 3rd, 2005, 08:39 PM

Ok.
Glad you like.

CanadianGordon · #**125** February 24th, 2005, 10:14 PM

Hey guys I know I haven't been keeping up with this thread
But I have been working out more fanatically...
I'll have new info up soon.
I'm down to 155 and my veins are starting to show.
My legs are really hard now..
G.

ethernet_jock · #**126** February 25th, 2005, 07:06 AM

w00t!

We'll wait with drooling anticipation!

CanadianGordon · #**127** February 26th, 2005, 12:23 AM

A friend of mine is gonna get me into a clinical trial for a new suppliment to help build muscle. I'll know more about it soon.
Should be fun.
He wants me to grow too!

Good luck! I hope you get freaky-HUGE soon!

CanadianGordon · #**129** February 26th, 2005, 01:35 PM

Thanks! I do too.
I'm taking two days off before tackling the arm day so that they're fully rested.
Also I had to shovel the driveway today to get rid of a build up of snow so there's my workout already.
I'll do a few pushups and some arm curls tonight before going to the clubs.
G.

p.s. I now look not too bad in the tshirt I've got, it's a stretchy material.
I can't wait to stretch it as I get bigger!

LOL, the weather must be very different up there! I sort of miss seeing the snow, but not the shoveling. Take care, and watch your back: shoveling can be hard on it.

CanadianGordon · #**131** February 27th, 2005, 11:33 AM

Oh I know, I can still feel it today. I'll go in tommorrow and do the workout..
Also the schedule today for the buses sucks ass.
And my gym closes at 6pm... It takes me almost an hour and a half to get there. Besides, I just came home after braving the crowds at wal mart this morning for shopping essentials... I'm tired, and have a minor headache...
So I'll do some sit ups, some push ups and some work with a dumbbell instead.
I went in 5x last week. No law saying I have to go in today..

That and I'll need the rest for the week...
Audition for a commercial tommorrow! Agent-less too! So if I get the gig I get paid a lot more cause I won't have to pay anybody for getting me the gig!
G.

Marco_ukmus · #**132** February 27th, 2005, 02:12 PM

Hi there G!

Just wanted to say Good luck with your audition! and Keep us informed of your experiences with this new drug that you'll be testing. Sounds very interesting.

Well done on your muscle growth achievements! keep growing!

Marc

CanadianGordon · #**133** February 27th, 2005, 08:15 PM

Thanks. As soon as I know more info about the suppliment I'll post it.

A friend of mine used it for a while (back when it was created) and he got his arms to be 21"... And he's a short guy like me, so you can just imagine how big he got... But being that I'm an actor I have to get famous first, mind you... With muscles I could always escort to raise funds. lol.
Sex is always fun.
Either way I'll post more as I can.
G.

Holly crap! I want some! I hope you get similar results. They say it's hard/impossible to get acting work if you are buff, but I see big dudes on TV all the time these days. Maybe you can get work as a buff helper on an HGTV show, a lot of them sound/look like they are filmed in Canada.

BTW, it's always been a minor goal of mine to get kicked out of Canada some day for stocking Candice Olsen of "Divine Design" fame.

CanadianGordon · #**135** February 28th, 2005, 09:57 PM

I know, if it works... Let's just say there are a lot of gay men in Toronto I can't wait to top!

I wouldn't say it's hard or impossible, but it does severely affect the roles you get considered for -- especially if you're not a name (and most of us aren't).

I'm not huge by any standards but in the past year my body shape has altered considerably and I'm now seen to fit entirely different roles than I did five years ago (In 2000: Generic fat characters, never a leading man; in 2005: Lennie in "Of Mice and Men")

Stage is easier than TV/film, of course, but my size is always apparent. On stage I can still masquerade as anything but a waif; in front of a camera, I'm a police officer, a gymrat, or a mobster. Always.

CanadianGordon · #**137** March 1st, 2005, 03:46 PM

I have no problem with getting a little big. I can always work as the heavy.

G.

CanadianGordon · #**138** March 2nd, 2005, 09:47 PM

I thought I'd post an update of sorts...
While working out two weeks ago I realized I could combine two of my days into one, and really get a good workout...
So my workout looked like this the last two weeks:

Chest/.Abs
Quads/Calves
Shoulders/Hamstrings + Back
Triceps/Biceps/Calves

This week I changed it some more:

So Chest/ Abs + Quads/Calves
Shoulders/Hamstrings + Back
Triceps/Biceps/Calves

I just know I'm gonna get a wicked pump.
I'll post pics soon bois!

p.s. the chest is fuller, and my legs are shaping up nicely.
And MY ASS IS HARD!!!! YAY!

ROFL!! Brent, just why is it that you want to stalk Candice Olsen?

CanadianGordon · #**140** March 3rd, 2005, 09:26 AM

I feel terrific after my workout yesterday... Bout to head out myself...

I'm really enjoying what I see.
And lots of cute guys at the gym agree with me.

CanadianGordon · #**141** March 4th, 2005, 09:55 PM

Well here it is a few hours later after the end of my modified workouts.
Holy crap am I horny. I'm so pumped from my arm workout...
I did 60 today for preacher curl!
Wicked!
Gotta go find a guy...
G.

ethernet_jock · #**142** March 8th, 2005, 09:19 AM

60kg?

impressive!!

CanadianGordon · #**143** March 8th, 2005, 10:11 AM

Thanks! I was impressed myself!
To reward myself I gave myself a few days off of working out so my body could recover... And I'll go in every other day as opposed to every single day...
A body needs to rest...
G.

To grow!

Because if I'm going down, it might as well be for someone with talent. I think she's smart, has great style, and if I were straight: I believe I would think she was pretty. I mean, considering where I live, I could easily stalk Paris Hilton, or Michael Jackson. Where's the class in going down for that?
</SARCASM>

And now, back to your regularly scheduled thread...

CanadianGordon · #**145** March 8th, 2005, 07:45 PM

Heheheh. Screw the chicks, I'd much rather stalk the built guys..

ethernet_jock · #**146** March 9th, 2005, 07:26 AM

incidentally - you are so wrong about candace olson (I didn't even know who she was until I googled her a moment ago).

Take it from a straight/bi guy - Angelina Jolie, all the way, before she lost too much weight. Dude, there is nothing finer than a strong woman with an attitude who can still be a girl when the time is right. mmmmm mmmm

Although I agree with you, I was only having fun.

CanadianGordon · #**148** March 11th, 2005, 05:45 PM

Oh I know... I know...

By the way guys new pics up soon..

G.

CanadianGordon · #**149** March 14th, 2005, 10:14 PM

Well I didn't lie. I said they were coming, and was I right? Yes. Enjoy.
Note, my friend tried to shrink the files and blot out parts of the background. It is his place after all. Meanwhile I think I'm growing, but where... That's the question of the day bois and goils. Feedback Feedback Feedback!

We'll start off with the lower half. Two quad shots first.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G9.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G10.jpg

My hardening calves (which I can now lift 140lbs doing seated calf raise).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G11.jpg

My attempt at showing my lats... They need work. Oh well.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G14.jpg

Back double bi. My friend couldn't help stop touching my shoulders...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G15.jpg

Left tricep. Looking good.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G7.jpg

Left bicep. Nice and hard.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G8.jpg

Right tricep-getting RIPPED!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G5.jpg

Right bicep-Extremely hard.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G6.jpg

Front left bicep flex.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G4.jpg

Front right bicep flex.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G3.jpg

Chest is developing nicely. Ignore the red marks. They're from my friend.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G16.jpg

This isn't even flexing.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G13.jpg

Again, not flexing!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G12.jpg

Very poor photoshop. Oh well.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...%202005/G1.jpg

Finally the best part: Front Double Bi!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202005/G00.jpg

So thoughts guys? What do I need to improve? What else do you want me to take pictures of? Message me too.
And here's some kickass news...

I just got a brand new FULL TIME JOB and started today (Monday)!
So... Not only will I be near my gym, but I'll be able to afford to eat better, and get suppliments, and renew my gym membership, but I'll be able to in a month or so, bring back my personal trainer! YAY!

I'll tell you more about the job another day, for now, it's late and I need my rest. My muscles need to grow.

Wynfrith · #**150** March 14th, 2005, 10:21 PM

Excellent progress sir!

Wynfrith · #**151** March 14th, 2005, 10:22 PM

And congrats on the new job.

CanadianGordon · #**152** March 15th, 2005, 12:06 AM

You're welcome.
G.

CanadianGordon · #**153** March 16th, 2005, 11:12 AM

Okay so guys, comments?

CanadianGordon · #**154** March 16th, 2005, 07:09 PM

Just got an email from photobucket saying I've exceeded my bandwidth for this month! Wow! I'm popular! So why I ask myself, aren't there more replies?
C'mon guys!

ethernet_jock · #**155** March 17th, 2005, 06:28 AM

hahaha.... gord... we all love you man.... we're just awe struck and silent by the obvious growth and definition you've gained since last time.

Doing great! Keep up the hard work brotha!

brent · #**156** March 17th, 2005, 07:51 AM

You are obviously growing all-over. I see lots of improvement already. I'd like to point out your legs, which are looking very swool! Good on you for starting to make changes!

CanadianGordon · #**157** March 17th, 2005, 09:33 PM

Thanks guys. I blew my photobucket account this month!
Whoo hoo!
Gotta get to bed to get to the gym tommorrow early.
New job has me working like a madman.
Hope to go back to easier 5x a week instead of intense insane 3x... next week.
With new job I can be downtown every day and not worry about transportation.
Sigh.
And in a little while I can buy my first suppliment!!!!
G.

CanadianGordon · #**158** April 2nd, 2005, 08:51 PM

Hey bois, just thought I'd shoot an update.
I'm having trouble with my wrists again..
Yes, limp wrists... Sigh... A gay man with limp wrists...
So I'm being careful and raising the weights slowly.
I can now curl 60lbs preacher curl!
And can easily curl 25lbs per bicep.
I'm lifting a lot with my legs.
If you guys want I'll post my schedule this week....

Notbigenuff · #**159** April 2nd, 2005, 10:41 PM

Sorry to hear about the wrists - but am glad to hear that it doesn't seem to be hurting your curling. Keep at it and the wrists should get stronger to.

I say please post your schedule - I think its always great to see what other guys are doing, especially if they are getting good results.

CanadianGordon · #**160** April 3rd, 2005, 07:35 PM

Will do.
The wrists usually act up if I'm lifting heavier than usual, so I'll post my schedule as I go along each day.

G.
