Training log revamp ROUND 3 lol

Yeah, all my Grandparents are gone now, but I used to love to just talk with them. When you hear some of their stories of what they grew up in and all they dealt with, you realize how easy we have it today. Both my Grandfathers passed away when I was young, but my Grandma on my Mom’s side lived to be 95 and my Dad’s Mom was 100, she was born in 1892.

The ppl in my family tend to live really long too. My other grandmother passed away about 8 years ago, she lived by herself till 2 weeks before she died at age 94. Completely coherent and could care for herself right up to the end. Even the day before she died she was telling us she's ready to go see her husband. He died when my dad was only 14 and she was old-school, never dated or got involved with anyone. Marriage was forever to her. She basically raised me. To this day there is nothing I wouldn’t give to have her back. She was hands down the single most important person in my life until my kids were born. Sometimes "twice" I have this dream where I go back in time and me and my friends are playing in my yard but I'm my age now and I go next door to see her and I she knows it's me from the future coming to visit her. I woke up crying both times, literally tears in my eyes. Even right now I'm sad thinking about it. I was a mess the last time she saw me, drunk all the time, barely working and always broke. It kills me that she never got to see me snap out of it and get to where I'm at today.

I’m sure she is looking down on you and very proud. Most of them in that generation always appreciated hard workers and despised laziness. She sees how hard you work and are a good provider for your family, and that was a quality I’m sure was very important to her.

Really? I wouldn't think any girls would be into that look. Even I think it's disgusting lol. Like, I know the way I want to look is quite unattractive to the average person and I'm ok with it because I'm not doing it for attention or girls. I'm doing it for myself. I'm not even that big and when I go out in public I cover up. I only wear tank tops at the gym and the beach for the most part. Right now I'm pretty normal looking, I mean I always think I'm normal looking. Even at my biggest I don't feel like I'm that much bigger then the average guy my height. It's only at the gym when I'm all pumped up that I feel like I look good. Maybe it's body dystrophy

Yea you have body dysmorohia we all do trust me people look when you're in public maybe not not at this moment but when you look like your discount code pic or anywhere near that they're looking for sure

Do you feel weird when you get compliments? I always do. I like the compliment but I always think about something negative when I get when. If someone says looking jacked or whatever I usually respond with, I'm trying, got a long way to go. Or I'm only half way there or something like that. I can never just say thank you and be on my way

It’s cuz the journey never ends for us.
 
Throw back pic, this was after my first bulk when I got back into working out. And before my beard started turning Grey lol.

I thought I was jacked but looking back now my arms and especially my shoulders were a fraction of the size they are now and I'm probably 215-218 if I remember correctly, somehow I had abs and moobs at the same time lolInvalid Link Removed
 
Sife by side on delts and arms, in my profile picture I was right around 200Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed

Dude...you look waaaayyy better in the profile pic..and I think that's everyone's point when they say man your looking big or jacked or whatever because we know we could be better like @SkRaw85 said the journey never ends look at the differences in your pics if someone told you you're looking jacked in your first one on your head yiu know eventually yiu could look like the second one so in your head you're not jacked if yiu get what I'm saying

Ya, I think because I know what I'm capable of looking like, even off cycle when I'm on point I maintain perfectly fine. So because I know what I can look like, and what I have looked like, if I'm anything less then that I don't like the look. And I don't particularly care too much about how I look, I just want to always improve so my view is skewed when I gotta take a step backwards.

I still think it's weird how I had some abs and man boobs at the same time lol
 
I know I look "Normal" in the first picture, but I think it looks like **** because I've been better. Now if someone else walks up to me and they look like picture 1 I would think they look fine. My honest advice to myself and that 1st picture would be that I need to go on a diet drop somebody fat and then go into a bulking phase. But because it's me I think it looks like **** lol
 
Smont said:
That first picture was my first year back in the gym after 4 years off and a binge drinking problem lol

And like you said most people would be fine with that, especially since your abs were visible, but you knew what you were capable of and that was all the motivation needed.

Lol you do not have moobs at all. There’s a bit of gyno, but there’s not fat sagging off your pecs. Your body dysmorphia is playing games with you.

Smont said:
And a binge zebra cake problem that relapses from time to time
Click to expand...

Yeah that’s still a thing.

Fun fact, my stepdaughter just bought some Zebra cake rolls. Didn’t know they make them, but all the rolls are way more fire than the cakes IMHO. Especially the strawberry shortcake ones.

There was no gyno in that picture. It's fat, or if for any reason it was gyno, I had never had sensitivity or a lump yiu could feel. That happened down the road on 7 alpha ace

As someone who has spent a lot of time and money learning about gyno & getting surgery, we’ll have to agree to disagree.

The fact the shape on one side is unique is indicative of asymmetrical tissue/estrogenic fat development presence. Which is gyno/pseudogyno, respectively.

Im on my way to doller general
 
I'm just kidding lol, I'm actually eating boiled chicken and white rice with soy sauce, 1 cup watermelon cubes, 2 pineapple rings and 1/2 of a apple, Sunday isint quite my cheat meal because I don't really have any scheduled cheats but Sunday is kinda like a iifym day so I can probably squeeze a package or 7 in
 
@Hyde I know in the picture one side looks different but there not they were evenly symmetrical at the time, it's the way I'm standing and the shadow on one side kinda hides it.. I keep very detailed notebooks over the years. If one side looked different then the other or if I had any signs of gyno I would have made notes and been all over it
 
Honestly weather or not I had gyno then is kinda irrelevant because I definitely have it now. But there have been no signs, no swelling or anything since my last raloxefine run, fingers crossed. Even tho I just jinxed myself and it's probably gonna show up now lol

Yeah those charts always killed me. It’s like the ideal according to the chart is skinny with no muscle. That was a pretty good comeback by the Doctor though.

Those charts are comical. I saw something yesterday that said according to the USDA you should not eat more than 4 oz of protein a day. What a joke!

Damn @Hyde Why did you have to go tell him that,, now he's gonna gonna on a 3 day strawberry zebra cake bender and we're not not here from him for a week

Just kidding, I'm getting back into the swing of things. I'm starting to feel better, I hit the gym again yesterday and tested my strength on so.e big lifts and I didn't move too far backwards. And seeing how im down to 197 and off cycle the numbers are pretty good
Screenshot_20230112-134904_Notepad Free.jpg


I'm back to a normal pinning schedule 40mg cyp every other day.

1000mg vc
1000mg nac
Zinc, magnesium and calcium supplement at the proper doses.
B complex
And I'm using one of Mike's products for digestive health

Meals are basically chicken, rice and fruit or chicken and vegetables. On my lower carb days I use higher far cuts of meat.

Water is back up to a little over a gallon a day.

Go na take 4 to 6 weeks doing this while I plan a cycle for middle or end of March "if I dont decide to box".

By the way, my boy is fighting bellatore at Mohegan sun again in a few weeks, this is his 3rd fight back since he came out of retirement, first 2 he won by tko. He's going down in weight to fight a ranked guy at 170lbs, I believe whoever wins beco.es the number 8 ranked guy , dont quote me on that tho. If yiu guys like mma then tune in for this one.

Fedor is my all time fave. Dude is a wrecking ball and humble.

Mine too. He was a beast back in the day. My boy was always pretty good too, not fador status obviously. He was the number 1 contender for a while and lost both his title fights, he's always been natural but recreational drugs took him downhill till he retired but he's back now. His mother was actually my gym teacher and his father was my boxing trainer and kinda still is now. He's the one who lined me up that fight over the Sumner that fell through. Very athletic family. His dad is 74 and I **** yiu not, you would guess he's in his 50's and he will still out box me
 
I know I been rambling on a lot today, I'm just bored lol. But I honestly feel that everything wrong with .e lately is stress related. Sleep is really bad too, worse then Normal becauseim goingto bed later but still wakingup middleof the night like i gotta get ready for work. But I think things are starting to turn around
 
The strawberry shortcake rolls are fire if you enjoy jelly donuts. If not, I would pass. But I got my stepdaughter on them and now she agrees they’re the top shelf amongst the portable diabetes options.

When I pulled up your homies profile I had to do a double take, I thought it was you lol. Then I saw the age and remembered we are the same in that regard. That’s goals man, 74 and dancing around the youngsters with ease! I want that. Saw a vid of a local guy the other day pressing 500+ and he’s got 14 years on me. Just goes to show. Long game.

Well, it's long gone now. Hopefully I never get back there. I wanna make this year great! I got some pictures from 3 days ago I'm gonna hold tight as my starting pictures for the year. Then IL do another round in March, and probably only take pictures once a month. I wanna track progress in even increments this year and see what I can do. Might get this haircut too....Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
