Haha same here!
Mine was 150 but I looked so small lmao.
I have since put on some muscle. I think I could do it again at 170 right now.
I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens.
If not, I better get into the gym ALOT more. Lol.
Like right now I have separation starting on my my whole body and I can see 4 abs but I just need to cut out a little bit more haha.
3 weeks in Mississippi will probably help a **** load.

Exactly, like I remember seeing those pencil thin kids in high school that had abs, just not what I want.
Yeah I have put on a solid amount of muscle since that time as you have.
That would be pretty decent and than build up more from that.
Well there is that and how you lose fat there is the possibility to lose muscle, which suckssss ha
Could try playing with your carbs and see if you get more defined that way.
lol why would being in Mississippi help? Running from the KKK? Just stay out of the woods.

Lol cause I can't eat as much as I do at home and it will be hot as a mother ****er.
Should lose water and some fat. Maybe a little muscle but I'll be drinking like 4 protein shakes a day to try and counteract.

Ahhhh I gotchaaaa. Maybe bring some nuts as well to add to your protein shakes lol. Nuts are high In calories. Run keto diet while you are away haha. Good stuff tho, just vacationing?

True that.
Cashews are the bomb, and so are almonds.
I've thought about a 3 week Keto diet.
Nah I'm going to M1A1 Tanker school for the Army.
I'm ready to blow some **** up.
Abe Lincoln
Well-known member
I enjoy the classic peanuts ha, but I do enjoy cashews and even more pistachios.
Not sure how that'd work out because it takes a few days to kick in and get used to it. Unless you do a heavy workout session to drain your muscle glycogen, not sure tho. I liked to workout 5 times per day on keto for the first week to make sure I get kicked in.
Oh nice ha nothing like blowing crap up.

Yeah I noticed that my uncle was in marines, we are generally heftier/bulkier people and when he came out he looked like he went through the holocaust
