The Bella bars are 15kg. O-bars are skinnier, “Standard” gym bars are usually PL thickness, Squat bars and some other specialty bars are even thicker, and usually heavier.

This is your choice. But choose wisely, young Padawan.

A few times a year, I have a meltdown at a baked goods aisle of a grocery store and say I wish I was fat and had given up.
It’s worth acknowledging. I then see other humans and am happy with the choices I made.

If you’re a Delusional Perma Bulker you get to train big and still pound cookies and cakes. It’s awesome.

So I just got the results of the IgG intolerance tests I got done last weekend. Apparently I’m not intolerant to eggs, which I thought I was, but rather to milk.
This would explain why I had been getting very nauseous every time I had whey, to the point where I recently eliminated them from my diet. Doesn’t really explain why cottage cheese, yoghurt, or milk itself don’t seem to give me any issues.
However, after doing some research I found out there’s no evidence IgG tests provide a reliable way of finding food intolerances. I’m a bit skeptical. For the next month, I’m going to take milk and its derivatives out of my diet and reintroduce eggs, and see how I feel. I don’t really know what to expect.
I don’t wanna hijack this thread though. If anybody knows about these tests or has past experience with them, feel free to leave a post on my training log.
This is me every week on grill night. That’s why I post here. Flame free.

I am in no way facetious when I say that I do not understand what you mean.

I get extremely anxious when presented with the large quantities of delicious foods and feel even worse when I loose all semblance of self control
You keep saying powerlifting is your goal along with weight gain. A confession would be when you UNDEReat: not overeat.

It’s not necessarily how much I end up eating; it’s the lack of control that I hate. Makes me feel like a failure
Choose to do it instead. Decide you are going to overeat.
If you haven’t, I highly recommend reading “The Myth of Sisyphus”.

You two are really hard on yourselves.

Confession - I’ve been eating high protein, high fat diet for a few days now. Broadly speaking it working. I tend to keep carbs to well below 50 grams.
Today I ate 6 custard cream biscuits. That’s 24 grams of sugar in one go.
Worth it!

Wait, me too?
Especially you.
You constantly reference achievement through determination and willpower. Of course this is true for most bodybuilders/fitness nuts/successful business people, so it’s not uncommon on these forums, but you are an outlier even here.

I dunno. I feel I push myself hard but am not hard on myself. I tend to celebrate my failures vs lament them, primarily because it means I have even MORE room to improve.

That’s my approach. Have high standards, but be kind to yourself. I guess the trick is to differentiate between beating yourself up unnecessarily and demanding the best of yourself.
I try to take this approach, but I find that that “more room to improve” doesn’t actually translate into improvement without a big metaphorical slap in the face, which some people view as “being hard on myself”
Disclaimer: I really haven’t achieved much nor do I really push that hard if I’m being honest
