I confess 3 days ago I almost posted this:
āConfession:
Itās been a while since our last really stupid thread. I canāt wait to see the next oneā
Now I remember how wrong I am.

Unironically, Iāve had a stick of butter or a block of cheese for ābreakfastā on multiple occasions just because I was lazy and really wanted butter or cheese
I also ate ~4x the RDA of sodium so far today via 25oz of braised chicken thigh and saurkraut. I will probably be putting another tsp into my veggies tonight. I feel great. Sodium is magic

But but butā¦cheese! I just like it cause it gives me reason to eat the crust, so nothingās left over. Otherwise, I generally tend to not eat the crust. Maybe you just havenāt had good stuffed crust?

You should put cool whip on your stick of butter.
It would be the breakfast of champions.

If recomping was taking fat or muscle from one area and just transporting it to another, there would be no composition change in their fat/muscle body makeup. The concept of recomping has to do with the idea that you can simultaneously gain muscle and lose fat such that your weight essentially stays the same, but your ratio of fat-to-muscle improves, so you look much better at the same weight. I donāt know if, in terms of linguistics, āre-compositionā is a misnomer and thereās a better term for that, but re-composition as I know it is absolutely about changing oneās body - itās just not about changing oneās weight. 5ā10 200 can look like a monster, or a total bag of ass - that kind of thing.

Somehow I missed that cool whip is only 23.
How does a male not grow at all from 16-23 if training? That is literally the prime for natural testosterone and body changes.
People astound me. I really need to lower my bar for what I expect of most people.

Oh my god, whatās wrong with you?? HE DOESNāT WANT TO GET TOO BIG! Also? You probably spend TOO much time in the gym, which is made obvious by your physique, which FRANKLY is a little bit yucky, with all those muscles. JACKED IS STUPID.
I became very upset when he didnāt even acknowledge @kd13ās practically-exactly-the-same-as the dream body aside from backing down from wanting even that (because itās a fucking awesome body and most people will never get anywhere near it, so well done, kd13). My fingertips were sputtering with outrage. Ultimately I decided that insulting the OP wasnāt worth my time and energy. However snarking about it here seems to have been, haha.
I confess that I wore pre-Covid corduroys to work yesterday, and they were less painful than when I wore them last week and this made me happy-ish. I have never in my life been thisā¦Iām not sure whatās the right way to put it. I want to say out of control, but that indicates that Iām going crazy with my diet and training, which Iām not. Iām just not IN control at the level that Iāve always been. Like, Iām the ā7 Yearsā OP and have no fucking clue how to stop eating or increase my intensity. Except I do know how. Itās weird.

Its pretty clear straight away the people who will actually appreciate and implement any advice, fighting a losing battle on that one!

I believe in good manners. At least say āthanks, man,ā then do what youāre going to do. Or trot out a compliment! Donāt sniff disdainfully and look away.
Itās just poor form.

To be fair he did like the post, buy you are right though that anā¦āokay yes maybe you do know how to achieve my goal after all, tell me more about what you would doā¦ā
But thats an obviously lacking ability that would lead someone to be in his position after 7 years of trying!

I had a weird and terrifying dream last night. I was being chased by Jon Andersen but, whatās weird is that I had the ability to fly and so did Jon. Jon wasnāt even Jon Andersen though yet he was called that. It was Jim Wendler wearing a sweatshirt and a hat. I was being chased in some hay field and there was a blood red sky with hazy white clouds. It was first person view so I could only see my arms extended out like superman and I would look back. Jon/Jim would kill me if I stopped thinking about Deep Water. I has to constantly think about the program Deep Water.
I was up at 11 pm eating chili then I went to lay on my bed. I fell asleep and woke up at 1 am. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and then I went back to sleep and had this terrifying dream. Iām sure Iām missing a lot of detail but this is all I could remember.
Well, I guess thatās the Deepwater effect if there was one.

It sounds to me like you feel an enormous amount of pressure to flawlessly perform a very intimidating lifting program, and youāre afraid of failing the programās creator and possibly people here, too. Talk about sucking the fun out of lifting!
I just see it as one of those weird dreams I get once in awhile.

I used to have dreams that I was falling into a chipper and being chopped to pieces, but I wouldnāt die. Iād just end up in the truck a pulpy mess of viscera and bone chunks, but somehow still alive and in all of the pain that going through a chipper would entail.
Then one day about 2 years ago I started passing out from heat and dehydration while feeding the chipper, and all I could think of was āNooo! Fall to the right!ā Which I did.
So, moral to the story: If you work real hard and you arenāt afraid to take risks, your dreams Can come true!

Iāve had dreams where I solved difficult homework problems or had epiphanies about something I was working on, only to wake up and forget the solution
