yeah I went back and forth myself. I'm wrapping up cycle 6 here soon and so far I have only skipped 2 in 6 months days. both of them deadlift days but I feel like if I'm going to skip a day, thats the one for me to skip. far more taxing, and I'm not sure that i need to or even should be pulling in a PR-chasing manor weekly, really. 2 heavy deadlift days a month seems about right with how hard i'm pushing squats/bench.
bro that aint nothing, weren't you like 240 at peak bulking before your bb comp year?
Not even close! I was right about here I hit 224 at my top if I remember correctly. It's okay, I enjoyed eating myself to here, now I have to enjoy seeing the progress as i take it back off. I expect 5 of it to be very easy, just by not having junk until the weekend should do that for me. Then going keto should drop even more and I won't get a carb up until next weekend.
Maybe thinking of me? I hit 239 last year at some point (or maybe the year prior).
LOL no I was picturing something along the lines of Kleens new orleans trip or the winter before his big BB push but I probably had the numbers wrong. that said 239 last year is also impressive lol
Lol youre right. Where’s the time going ?!the years are starting to blur together. I remember things like Kleens cut, his competitions, Hyde's bruised hammy and his big push for 405 on bench but its like holy cow have we all known each other that long that these events were literally years ago?
Who knows, we just have to try to make the best of it in the present. It sure is fleeting!
Right on! I didn’t realize SNS has hcl. Where are you ordering from?
How many grams do you take per day?
I usually just text him when I need something and order direct lol. But I've been raw dogging it since June and the only supplementation I've had the last 3 months has been bringing this creatine back in about 2 weeks ago + preWO.
Welp, i was wrong here. Noticing some water retention now in the face and trunk. Not a fan. Dropping dose to 1.5g creatine hcl to see if that matters.
Just my opinion, but give it a a little time, and don't make the decision just after having a sodium bomb type of meal like bbq that is going to make you hold water.
Well, i ended up taking 2.25g still anyway this morning, but the last couple days when the water retention showed up i was eating super clean…no date night meal out yet. But yes, let’s see what happens as time goes on.
Every inch counts204.5 today after BBQ with my boy last night.
dude my wife spoiled me with seafood this weekend, we grilled oysters friday then yesterday she put together scallops and shrimp on salad for me (scallops are my annual birthday request). that right there is a massive salt bomb lol. between pure salt and fat oysters (with butter and cheese etc) + scallops etc I was like +6lbs this weekend.
Badass for your son!!! Haha, don't let the strength get you, get yourself defined and celebrate that then focus on rebuilding strength while in a very mild surplus. Then you won't only still be stronger, but be looking great and feeling comfortable in your own skin.
We better lock in…how are our high schoolers beating us?! Lol
Because they are giants!
The high school kids where I live look like 12 year olds
. And half the boys look like girls smh. My own son 18, trys to make himself look less masculine. Tries to talk in a softer voice and wants to be the polar opposite of me.
Let him know that being less masculine is a first class ticket to almost always being friend zoned. I am not suggesting any red pill nonsense. I hate when men think they are somehow being alpha while making themselves out to be womens victims. Those types are no different than 3rd wave feminazis, just reactionary, over-emotional people looking for someone to blame for why their life isn't going exactly the way they want it. As long as it is someone else's fault it is easier to justify what they don't like about their life to themselves.The high school kids where I live look like 12 year olds
Until he gets angry in his man voice comes out lol
Small rebound to 204.0 if i recall correctly. Man, i could’ve sworn you were at 190-ish just a couple weeks ago, but i guess it’s been way longer. Time flying again.
Funny you say that…my wife’s love language is baking, but I’ve asked and she’s agreed to cool it until my cut is over. It’s helping her too, she actually hit 132 for the first time in decades.
What you're describing reminds me of men I call the fragile egoed narcissist. Feminine men who think they're masculine but they're always the victim always the poor me and everything is always someone else's fault. Often times when they're bad-mouthing someone else they're just projecting the things they feel about themselves!
We flip flopped! I'm down to 189! You're like 15 lb bigger than me now!
my wife always told me she wasn't a baker then this summer took it up had core. two new sourdoughs out the oven last night hahaha. she is now making sourdough pretzel buns on burger nights, too. we justify it cause you know, the fermentation process makes the bread better for you
and don't you forget it
Haha, this is coming right back to you once he hops back on cycle! He won't forget!
when he does I'll cut and stop wearing my contacts, cause you can't punch a guy wearing glassesHaha, this is coming right back to you once he hops back on cycle! He won't forget!
