I know, the same with me….it was the diet and increased intensity. And of course you had to have the muscle pants to make room for those monster thighs.👍

sometimes when you take a step back from the competitive world, being surrounded by great lifters, it can be hilarious to consider real world implications of a "light"...

308/495 is awesome!!! 🤘 🤘 It certainly sounds like you were this close to a legit 495 rep, especially if you locked it out. makes me wonder if you had more like 505+ if you weren't feeling that...
Funny thing is I felt that way when I was like 180. but when I cut from 205 to about 190 last time everyone told me how big I got which always cracks me up. I haven't had anyone challenge me...
I was going to say you're thick enough to make people think twice about trying to push you around. However, even at 190 that still holds true, and you would have some abs, so it really just comes...
when I was like 30 I said in my 40s I want to look like a dad that lifts and not stress over abs anymore. now that I'm in my 40s I kinda want my abs back but I like looking inconvenient. I keep...
Agree. Was thinking lighter tempo would not hurt but seems it just might have. To your point too, this next meet wad thinking hit a solid 455 at around 17 days out and call it good. Always get in...
Ha, we do get on some interesting subjects up in here.😂
That’s so true about that brutal set of 8….going for 10 , but on that 8th rep it’s all you can do to get the elbows back with one last...
I always love this thread 😄

The trick is not to make it creepy or awkward, more complimentary. Which, truthfully...

the whole thing absolutely cracks me up. I don't have a problem with it, I am even open with my wife about it and tell her how much sluttier the girls at this new gym are compared to Tacoma. they...
Yep, exactly….the owner of our gym’s wife told me about it, and she thought he was hilarious, and she said exactly what you said Kleen. That they were taking it out of context, because the...
Yeah, I saw it and it was hilarious, and in the end the punchline was self depreciating, about him being the fat guy drooling in the background staring at them in everyone's videos. A little bit...
I'm still thinking about the Renaissance Festival and protien icees in here. Did you see all the Shane Gillis drama this week calling out girls for dressing trashy at the gym, so they all doubled...
If you lock out the bench or pull, we call that a good gym lift at the barbell club lol. So at least you made an 800lb push-pull gym lift! And especially great, not injured and can go right back...

Yep. It’s just generally a little more specific to risk, it’s theoretically possible to have a decent ldl but a disproportionately not as decent apoB. If you do then the answer is to just crank on...
