Ha ha ha! Yeah, that’s so true! Even happened to me, I wanted to lean out as much as possible before getting into some serious bulking (and because I wanted to lose my being-a-lazy-arse-for-a-year fat), so I dieted for 6 weeks and dropped 7-8 kg (15-18 lbs).
I couldn’t yet see my bottom 2 abs, just the top 4, and my girlfriend was saying “you look too thin, I think you might be anorexic.” Ha ha ha! I think I needed an extra 3 weeks to get that 6-pack showing, but I’d had enough and began eating/lifting big. Well, biggish.
I wonder what the GF will say when I start cutting in October…?

Devil’s advocate, if you were lacking much muscle size, you did look thin. Being lean looks sickly on those who don’t have much size on them.

Good to see you’ve got in the spirit of this thread Prof LOL

Surely you mean Professor’s Advocate. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, Professor!
At my thinnest I was 163lbs, at 5’8". Not quite sickly, but nowhere near massive.
Worry not, however, for I am now following the Prof’s recommendation and eating as if it were were my job. I also lift some weights in between T-Nation posts, just in case it does me some good.
You’ve ever been in contest shape…But never in a contest!
You consider a scoop of Grow! and a small amount of water a viable substitute for chocolate ice cream.
You don’t remember the last time you didnt eat cottage cheese before bed.
While at Barnes and Noble someone asks you your favorite authors and the names Chris Sugart, Chad Waterbury, Ian King, TC Luoma and a host of other on this site come up.
You write in a vote for Tim Patterson for the noble prize in chemstry
This is pretty funny. Almost as good as the one where the guy says he ripped a stop sign out and failed to show a picture of it. The reply where the guy posted the Lord of the Blings movie poster gets it for best reply. I was bustin up the whole time I was on seeing that.
Does anyone have a link to that calorie calculator? My search function doesn’t work. That would be great if someone could post it up here. I could really use it.
Thanks buddy. It didn’t tell me much more than I allready know. 4k cals, is that maintenance though? Would I grow fine off this or will I need more than what the calculator spits out.

Your reply to every training question a newbie asks you is “eat, lift, eat, sleep, eat, lift, repeat.”
Your work mates comment on how hot some girl is, and you mutter something about her calves not being in proportion to her quads.
You think veins are sexy.
Testosterone is your favourite hormone.
You actually have a favourite hormone.
You’ve tried living off nothing but protein shakes, fish oil and flaxseed for a month at least once in your life; and you still think Chris Shugart is not crazy.

These are definitely me. To the letter. Ive been at bars with the guys and they can stare and I will find multiple large flaws in ratio, or tone, or proportion. I’ve turned down otherwise beautiful women for almost cankles (calf ankles for those who don’t know) and I say eat, sleep, work hard a lot. Great list.
