It was an offer to @alex_uk. You can offer support, but sarcasm is more my thing.

Aaah I thought the sarcasm offer was directed at me because of the citation thing. Now I get it.
Yup it was a genuine offer, one that’s always appreciated by Brits.

I do wanna note that, for that deadlift simulator, if you’re holding onto the sleeves, you’ll want to make handles, like this
But if you’re holding onto the bar proper, just some straps should do the trick.

A miss was definitely as good as a mile in this case, although I think nachos might make a regular appearance in my bulking game - because nachos are awesome and I totally forgot about them!
I knew I’d get support from you on this! As a proud Brit (well not really, I don’t understand national pride - it wasn’t my choice to pop out of my mother in this country anyway and whether this country is good or bad is largely unrelated to my personal efforts, patriotism mostly seems like brainwashing to me, let’s call a spade a spade, my country and gov does some good stuff and gets some stuff right, it also does some deplorable stuff, on balance the good outweighs the bad, but again outside of my vote I have very little impact. Anyway that’s a tangent that probably belongs in PWI and I don’t go there…)
Upped my game today was somewhere near a dozen (had to break off some for the son. Had the Gaston song in my head as I was prepping so that went on Spotify, whilst I want to be roughly the size of a barge I’m not sure 5 dozen eggs a day is on my list of things I want to try to get there. Not sure if I revoke meathead status here, but my favourite line from that song is actually “I’m especially good at expectorating” Disney is class. I’m all about the tangents this morning apparently…
Ahh come on its chilli it’s not supposed to look pretty!
Cheers dude appreciate it!
Yup, haven’t wanted to do this stuff for about a year now, the trick is now to push on regardless, despite the fact I don’t want to and don’t care about it, I know that there are benefits beyond strength and physique, that I will benefit from, but still when you care so little about it, it’s hard, anyway I can’t moan, it’s still a massive privilege to have the resources, knowledge and freedom I do to be able to do this, even if it is against my will.
Yup holding on to sleeves, forearms still haven’t forgiven me. I’ll look into the UK equivalent of those, although I’m wondering whether the movement without handles might have some significant benefits for me.
I also watched that video and then got roped in to a YouTube algorithm of suggestions, that absolutely nailed it, both content and timing wise, watched the rogue strongman 2021 invitational, was just sitting down for a rare moment of peace so was great way to spend 40 mins.

For me at the minute it’s a feeling of being mediocre. I’ve been stronger, I’ve been leaner, I’ve been more muscular and I’ve been fitter. If I really honestly assess then I would say I have never been as strong lean and muscular whilst being so fit all at the same time so it should feel like a massive win but it feels a bit meh. Every thing feels mediocre and I don’t have the resources or motivation required to push any thing further!
Keep pushing on buddy

A 12 egg scramble or omelette is one of my favourites!
(Although my heart my disagree based on my cholesterol levels 
)
Make sure you put it on toast for extra awesomeness (ignore your inability to eat bread!). Honestly 12 in a single sitting (with 3 pieces of toast) was a little too much, just based on the fact it took so long to eat it went cold and that’s just unpleasant, plus by the end I was bored of eating and now it’s going to push my lunch time on significantly, I might go back to 6 and be roughly the size of a tug.
My cholesterol is low, surprisingly given my dietary abuse. HDL was lower this test than I’d like so started omega 3 again, see if that makes any difference.

Nah, I’d rather add more butter
Yeah, I also feel very little pride about being a Brit. I don’t think anyone beats us for shitty student food though.
