I cant lie it’s a gas to be strong enough to make people stop what they are doing and watch you when you day pass at a different gym

I got about a month of cutting left then I'll spend a week on that, take pictures to catfish on tinder with and go right into a turbo charged diabolical bulk now that I'm actually counting macros and have put on a ton of strength this year
Natty lifters way up rn
Perk set a world record for the 75 and 83kg class this weekend at like 75% effort too
I lost like 20 kg in the last couple of months.
All my shirts from high school suddenly fit which gives me a strange nostalgic erection too.
I'm planning on naturally losing another ten before the end of the year...
Although I could easily do this in three, I'm really wondering if I should do that at my age. The last time I did that I was I was eighteen and I couldn't budge for several days. You are reduced to a sloth and if Krillin slapped you, you would die and get sent to Snake Way.

Keto bread is a serious game changer for the cut.
Eating an egg white sandwich, like 35 grams of protein and only 15 grams of carbs and its delicious

I think my favorite aspect of powerlifting is that you get to train with your competition every day, or at least see them on IG unless they don't post but pretty much everyone does in the area.
A couple folks at my gym that did the meet I did in February are also doing the same one as me in December and I can really see the difference in who went hard in the offseason and who didnt. I hated hearing folks whine about "genetics" or "he must be on something" or "he's too flashy with the outfits and the jewelry." I never answer to the chatter I let my work speak so I made a deliberate effort to train harder than everyone this summer and see who could keep up.
You pickup the 70s for a certain exercise? I'll do the 80s.
You do 3 sets? I'll do 4.
Coach gave me accessories on specific days to target weaknesses? Bet we hitting em even on the days they aren't assigned.
You compete a weight class or two higher than me? Bet let's work in together.
Just to prove a point to myself and my competition. Every single day.
So that when I say I'm the hardest worker in the room, I know that they know it's true whether they like me or not. It's all in good fun at the end of the day it's just how I hype myself up and there are enough people that match the energy and approach I bring to it.

we're gonna see so many of these type of videos from these influencers over the next few years and thats if they dont incur real health problems

Been off the soft drinks, ice cream, sweets, chocolate and milkshake for about a month now. Haven't really missed any of it, but it's either caused or coincided with a general lack of appetite. Don't feel like I have any less energy than normal though.
Should probably have weighed myself at the start, I've been feeling lighter for the last couple of weeks and I'm starting to look slimmer I think.
I know I should be combining it with exercise, but lol no

I refuse to play that off the title, everybody been saying not to get on the gear yet people still do. It's like someone making a video about their regret for smoking crack or shooting heroin, no shit, the millions of people saying it's not a good idea should be the hint.
I don't care if these people drop dead or have problems, they been warned repeatedly.
Damn, shouldn't get to a conclusion just yet, but two days in to my glucose monitor and its just in the prediabetes zone 😬. Better get to those green leafs and stop munching shit after a long run.
Is it normal to find it much easier to run without taking walking breaks when its cold? Feel like that sensation of breath chilling my lungs energises me where I'm normally blowing out of my arse after a few minutes.
You guys know any good solutions for dealing with lactic acid build up? My legs catch fire after I have to take a week off for travel.
Every return trip to the gym just feels way harder than it needs to be

My right foot is completely fucked up, 100% certain I tore my plantar fascia a few weeks ago, felt a pop on the bottom of my foot then a sudden rush of heat. Now it's a constant dull ache that gets worse if I have the audacity to walk or run for more than 10 mins.
I can't afford to be off my feet for weeks so surgery isn't an option. Basically just tough it out until it gets worse or kills me, the American way.

Don't mess around with the extremities. If they become worse or even evolve into heelspurs, then you are bonafide fucked.
Best see a foot doctor and present your case and hope they can get you on a program that gives you some ability to work with it.
By domino Go To PostI cant lie it’s a gas to be strong enough to make people stop what they are doing and watch you when you day pass at a different gymThis makes me want to start training for strength again, but I've only been doing a BB split for a few months. I also was struggling to make gains when strength training. That was probably lack of calories though.
But also I'd have to be pulling like 6-7 plates for people to notice lol. San Diego got some strong mfers
I went on a bit of a spree Saturday night concerning food and drinks. I woke up at six in the morning and projectile vomited everything on the plants on my balcony. Great camouflage btw.
My stomach did not appreciate that shit.

I fall prey to Oreos and Snyder's buffalo or jalapeno pretzel bites every couple months or so. I have no self-control when it comes to delicious snacks. I just have annoying and unsatisfying poops the next day though.
Another thing my body apparently hates is playing full-court basketball for the first time in like 7-8 years in old Allbirds running shoes with a bunch of 20-25 year olds. For 4 hours. I didn't really feel old until that night. Even today, two days later, my hip flexors and feet are sore as heck lol. Definitely gotta get my conditioning back up to par, and I'm thinking about grabbing a pair of Shaqs shoes from Walmart since it's a once a week thing right now. However, they're for little poor kids, so maybe not the best choice for a 32 year old man.

olympia is next week it's crazy how some of these dudes every year look like they'd eat the previous version of themselves.
CBum and Brandon Hendrickson especially look absolutely cracked compared to last year

but now whenever I see Chris I get the same reaction as those mass monsters when he was coming up

My gut and blood sugar tests came back, in general good, especially gut health but ofc it was complaining about the electrolyte snacks I use for my long runs lol. Overloaded with Prevotella copri apparently.
Currently at my lowest wait since 7th December 2019.
Feels good.
Time to get back to my 2018 weight.
Then 2017 weight.
Then 2013 weight.

Running has been going good the last month.
Been running a lot slower to start runs thanks to the Nike guided runs. A big problem for me was always treating a run like a race.
Good luck. I remember you crushing your half. What is your goal for this run?

Incredible target. I know you will crush.
IIRC you said this is outside the London, right?
By Batong Go To PostSi, Valencia, Espana
Why there?
It's a flat one and I know a few others doing it.
Plus I need some sun which this big island doesn't provide as much during these months.

Nothing that says you're getting old when you get a second muscle tear in the same leg the next month.
Maybe it wasn't the best idea to overstretch daily though.
Atleast the new physical therapist is hot.

The thing I am the worst with when it comes to running is stretching.
What pre and post run stretch routine do you do?

coach capped me at 298 on bench to not stress my shoulder out which kind of annoyed me.
hit 529 today on deadlift w/ some gas left looool
i'm so glad this week is over. fatigue is maxed out, bring on the taper.

By Shanks D Zoro Go To Post@Batong.Don't see pre workout as stretching, see it as dynamic mobility, a few lunges, a few kicks a few open hips, a few toe lifts to activate the muscles you about to use, like your glutes and hamstrings and quads.
The thing I am the worst with when it comes to running is stretching.
What pre and post run stretch routine do you do?
Post I would go for slow bend of your legs for hamstring with lose arms hanging, maybe a quad stretch lying down (if you can as that gives a better quad stretch with the hip flexor towards the ground), some toe flexion and perhaps a pigeon pose for some glutes and piriformis stretch
