Been busy without the busa...

[The Oracle]

So, since I have been sans motorcycle, I have focused lots of my attention to climbing and staying fit.

After my marathon I was down at 155lbs. @ 5.5 %body fat...  Skinny.  Then I tried to climb Rainier and kept the weight off.  So, over the last 7 months, I have change gears and added some mass.

I took this photo yesterday...  185 lbs. @ 6.5% BF.

Opinions?

p.s. My plan is to get strong enough to go to RSD's house and force feed him Sambuka and Guinness.  Oh wait...  I don't hav'ta be big to do that!

dayum, Rip....put on some weight, I see. Looks good, man....


Looks like the shoulders are coming along nicely...good lat developement too. Arms, can't really tell, but they appear to be more towards the bi's.


May I recommend hammer curls? That'll give 'em a nice, full look.



Good to see you back though, brother.

I'm not an expert, but when my body fat dropped below 9% (many, many years ago) my trainer got worried. I still got the 6 pack abs, they are just hiding under a pillow now

Among my other Jack trades... I am an NSPA certified personal trainer. My body fat is in the extreme athlete range and is fine. Especially because I am an ectomorph. However if I was a girl, I woudl not be having my periods and I Drs. would be freakin' on me for being this low.

Bummer about the drunks! Glad you lived to tell about it.

The one F4i guy who is still racing is getting his ass handed to him by Ben (former Busa rider). They are both control riders and CRAZY fast!

I miss you guys too. It is tough, but I will make some time for you sad saps.

Or was that some sick dream I had?
