It's not so bad really. You can look cut at the beach a few times a year and look like a regular guy in a shirt always, or you can look fat at the beach a few times a year and look jacked in a shirt always. It feels pretty good that people naturally assume I play football or am a lifter now.

Trust me, I understand, just can't dive into the milk and cookies too hard.
 
I srsly want to be a solid 230, but my body dysmorphia won't allow that body fat gain.

This is really the first time I'll be taking diet really serious, so I'll see where it takes me. I usually just loosely track, then binge eat any free food I can get my hands on lol.

Well I wouldn't be surprised if you learn a lot about how your system works in this process and can really make some moves, both short and long term.

I mean I know it all, I just never apply it to myself bc I'm lazy lol.

But you're right, I'll be seeing my reaction to input.

I'm the same way. I know the principles, never apply them, and don't know my body's little variances from the template.

Felt fine for both, fronts look like doodoo, but starting to feel easy on the legs.

Lol I'm just being dumb - I don't wanna jinx it, but I've managed to increase my upper back strength a good deal past 4-5 months, to the point where I hit 11 solid pull-ups doh yesterday at 232. 14....give me a bit more time!

Want to get good at pullups? Do More pullups!

Does jack for strength though, good for hypertrophy.
