Also, getting a US visa is hard.

The fact that you even mention that humbles me. Thank you. Also, I think you are waaaaaaay stronger and smarter than just about 99% of the population. And I'd say that you're leaner than just about anybody on this planet. Period. I wish I had even half of your knowledge.

I restate - I sure wish you were going to be able to make the Summit.

How the heck could someone work up to that dragon flag. That's INSANE.

You must have incredibly strong abs. I can do about 2 or 3 of them (haven't tried for a while) but no where near the amount Milko is doing in that video (or as controled )

No, no!! Ahahaha....I meant the VIDEO worked. No way in hell can I do even one dragon flag!
What I did ask was how can one work up to being able to do it??

Clap-up 2x5@20kg

My iliocostalis lumborum muscles are sore from the front windmills.

Anywhere with a description or picture of windmills?

Thanks! is your name pronounced "ya-ho"?

Oh, and Milko - do you do any cardio at all?

[Alcoholiday]

what's your weight at now? how much have you gained since you started this log? Sorry if i missed it and you said it earlier.

Milko - I see you are adding a lot of lean mass. how do you manage that with such low (or NO) fat gain? Do you even count calories or just wing it and eat when hungry?

Are you really focused on timing of your meals (pre- and post-workout?)
Also, do you eat fat after you work out or only lean protein (I know you don't really eat carbs, and I've heard that fat after a workout isn't desirable, but do you think that matters?)

Thanks ...

Yup. Plus, it's a screen name, so you can pronounce it however works best for you

My real name is Yavor.

ljk, I do not cardio.

I gain lean mass by doing strict low-carb - high-fat diet. I eat when I have time; 3-4 times a day; with idea about calories but w/o counting. No focus on PW nutrition. I feel hungry very rarely. To eat, it's not a source of pleasure for me. It's just fuel.

Also, do you eat fat after you work out or only lean protein (I know you don't really eat carbs, and I've heard that fat after a workout isn't desirable, but do you think that matters?)

I eat the same (meat+fat; eggs; cheese; salad) all the time; including PW nutrition.

My general opinion is:
• eat low-carb-hign-fat
• train with high intensity
• have faith; feel good; dream; KEEP YOUR MENTAL WORLD LIGHT AND CLEAR; All the science is nothing w/o your mental base. Science is just our contemporary tool to operate with reality. Every tool is nothing w/o its adequate and experienced operator.

When I started this log I was 72 kg. At the end of last year I was 75 kg (as the plan was). But I loose 3 kilos during the holidays. Now I'm 73 kg.

2002 my weight was 60 kg.

You must be a true ectomorph to lose weight while NOT training! My brother is like that.
I like your philosophy. And whatever you are doing must be working...it's refreshing to see someone not obsessed with macros, timing, etc. I am trying to get away from that and just listen to my body and eat when I'm hungry and have the time to do it...
As far as low carb goes, that's pretty much what I do since the carbs make me feel a bit gross.

What are your reasons for avoiding carbs?

ljk, I lose weight while NOT EATING!

Wow. Now if those aren't words to live by I don't know what are. Excellent! Thanks Milko!

oh, haha.
I thought you meant you stopped doing weights on vacation. My brother is one of the skinny types when he stops weights (AND eats) that he seems to just get skinnier.
