    It’s 341 or 347 in comp. I would need to do around 600 each squat/pull and bench 350+. So maybe something like 584/358/617 would do it. Ideally, my deadlift will improve and I could get away with a lower squat, because that is what you really see fall off in the lightweight classes due to...

    Well, the consideration here is that I wouldn’t actually be 198, probably still 210 actual before a watercut. But any way you slice it, coming down yet another 16lbs would have me leaner than I’ve been in forever.

    Well, just to throw another perspective on this, he may not want to take any more Tren. If he’s like me, he gets every (side) effect and his personal ceiling for tolerance may be lower than his overall drug needs. For myself, I tend to feel better stacking low/modest doses of lots of compounds...

    Well you did a good job getting the squats done despite the situations you faced. This goes back to the importance of knowing where you’re sailing; even if you have to tack upwind at least you know you’re moving in the right direction despite less than ideal circumstances. You needed to squat...

    I definitely have the fat to give up without getting too lean, and it may even help set me up even better to gain later - main thing is not giving up a bunch of strength like you said. I have to do 1,642 to total Elite at 220, but only 1,560 at 198. Which seems even more accessible. It’s 1,703...

    I honestly never even remotely considered this, but it’s not the craziest idea. I’ve only ever competed at 198 a single time, my second meet where I was taking no gear and got foodborn colitis from undercooked chicken 2 weeks before comp. I lost 11lbs after shitting blood for multiple days and...

    She definitely has been making a lot of positive comments lately. I know she prefers me leaner, so I’m glad to give her what she likes for the time being.

    It feels like the most productive cutting I’ve ever done, in terms of muscle retention while losing fat. I can now wear my XL shirts handsomely while also filling out the yoke of my 2XL sufficiently - I wear both daily now. And the legs of my swim trunks are just as snug as before, and my ass is...

    I believe injectable makes mine stinkier, so I would believe it. It’s been a while since I used the TD but it made me sweat more just like injectable so sounds about right.

    Awesome you were able to do some work on the Trapbar and got a great stimulus from it! This is a great lower body movement in my opinion, that spares the joints to a better degree for the return on investment.

    I’m just not that strong (yet)!

    But that’s not what I said, was it? I didn’t say anything about waiting for ideal conditions. I said you have to focus on ONE goal at a time with consistent effort. If you lack enough consistency, or enough effort, or spread it over too many goals, none will be reached.

    No time or energy; this was strictly business unfortunately. Show up, stay up very late, crash for a bit, burn rubber for about a 30-hour turnaround. We’re actually going back Thursday night for an even faster turnaround to install some missing parts and troubleshoot a server for about an hour...

    So are you basically thinking to add about 400 cals back in, some of that from protein?

    Down another 1.5lbs from last week’s Saturday weighin. I’m seeing more detail in my legs, veins getting more prominent too.
