INTRO: HOW WE GOT HERE AND WHERE WE ARE NOW For those that haven’t been following along, Deep Water Intermediate marks the end of a 26 week long weight gaining training block I’ve been running that started off with 5/3/1 BBB Beefcake, then 5/3/1 Building the Monolith and then Deep Water Beginner. …

Couple of things 1). I am absolutely blown away by the before and after. It’s tough to see it in your log because the pictures are spaced so far apart in time… looking at them makes me say “yeah, pwn is still muscular and lean”.

I remember you once mentioned how a co-worker once said that you looked like you ate Matt Damon. I think it’s safe to say that, now, you look like the guy who ate the guy who ate Matt Damon :joy:. Absolutely massive visual difference there, and a quality write up to match. I look forward to hearin…
