After instantly regretting diving into that thread, I realized that he did actually make progress; if you look at his pictures, there were a couple periods where he actually put on some noticeable muscle.
The problem, I think, is heās stuck in this trap of expecting a bulk to make him jacked and lean, which absolutely isnāt the point of a bulk. If heās rode those bulks out (on better food, mind you), and lifted an actual fucking barbell, he definitely couldāve gotten pretty big. Then cut back ā again, with a proper diet ā and reveal all the beautiful muscle heād made prior.
He just wants instant results, which isnāt how the Iron Game works.

I felt like he fell into the trap a lot of dudes do where they think the difference between bulking and cutting is simply eat a lot on a bulk and eat a little on a cut. Thereās no consideration of āGee, Iām eating all this food: maybe I need to train harder to turn it into muscleā and āMan, Iām not eating much: maybe I need to do less training so I can still recover?ā
Dudes will just do the exact same training the whole time and wonder why theyāre just putting on fat when they eat more and losing that same fat when they eat lessā¦
My confession: I found out Iām still insulin sensitive after eating this yesterday
Because oh MAN did I have the sweats going last night

@tlgains last night, I had a dream that I failed a discrete maths test and that 1/2 the keys on my computer keyboard werenāt working. I was freaking out until I realized that it was a dream because I wasnāt actually taking discrete maths
On a side note, Iāve been sweating a lot more. I used to be able to workout and stay dry, but recently Iāve started sweating even though the temps in the gym are the same and Iām wearing the same amount of clothes. Not sure if thatās good or bad
Also, for my coding assignment, I managed to write a code so ugly and brute force that the TA who was helping me with it said āyou might as well have done everything by handā and āat some point we should just give 100% for effortāā¦
he was so frustrated that he basically redid the thing for me

I was thinking just now and realized that I treat my time like those struggling to lose weight treat their āsmall handfulsā of random snacks throughout the day.
I tend to ignore āoptionalā thing s like seminar, working on research and gym in my mental time calculus
For example, yesterday I went to the gym, attended two office hours, a seminar, had two classes, club meeting, finished a big research task.
When telling my sorority sister what I did, I told her ā wasnāt too busy, two classes and club meetingā
I confess that I am going to a nice Brazilian steakhouse tonight with the in-laws for my birthday, and I am beyond excited. Been a crazy work week, running off of next to no sleep, and purposely havenāt eaten a thing today. Damage is about to be done, and I am very much okay with that

Iām going to do the same thing tomorrow!
Weāre taking a little family jaunt to see 21 Pilots in Columbus and a Brazilian BBQ place is part of the plan.
Confession- I absolutely hate highway driving. I really wish I could be sedated or otherwise deactivated and just shipped to where ever Iām supposed to be next.
Wife is like āChill honeyā¦ā and Iām like āIf I could chill I wouldnāt need a suitcase full of heart meds just to keep breathing!!!ā.
I just realized you canāt steam clean concentrated cat peeā¦
Iāll never understand why you have cats. So many of your posts seem to be pretty miserable (so it seems) health/quality of life issues involving these things lol
Flame free of course

Iām stuck at home since WFH is now the ādefaultā and there are lots of limitations on even dining outside. Other than work, I donāt have much going on right now. You really donāt want me to get started on whining about work lol.

Ok, now I have something else to whine about. Iāve been learning code both on the side and so I can manage the tech guys I engage for the past 2 years. Iām still a fucking noob. I DONāT FUCKING UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN DO THIS AS A PROFESSION. Fucking GIGANTIC props to them.
Last week some FUCKHEAD challenged me to learn how to do shit on the Solana blockchain since itās so damn new thereās very little online support and there are lots of new updates almost every week. I took 4 fucking days just trying to set up the fucking ENVIRONMENT because I only practice this kind on stuff on another com with only the Windows home edition installed because thereās no way Iām using my work com for security reasons and the tutorials on their site for noobs require Docker and Iām too cheap and stupid to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
Itās probably a Chinese thing. In my head I was like āOk, I paid $800 for this laptop. If I upgrade just the Windows part, itās going to cost $100. Thatās not cost effective. I canāt do this just based on general principle alone.ā. Itās like how my mom would bargain to the point of almost getting into a fight at the fish market for a price difference of 20 cents.
The damage has been doneā¦. Grand total of zero carbs consumed, just massive gorging on beef, lamb, pork, chicken, smoked salmon, plus some cheeses. Iād estimate 3lbs of meat consumed. Meat sweats in full effect. Think that means I need to try for a squat PR Sunday

Once cat pee gets on/in something I donāt think it ever leaves. Had a few cats in my childhood and one by one, as they got old, they just started peeing in random places. There was no solution besides replacement. Usually it was just a corner of carpet so at least that wasnāt too big of a deal.
Actually, it can be removed with bleach for non-porous surfaces or enzymic sprays they sell nowadays for fabrics. The problem is the fuckers will keep going back to the same spot to pee if they can still smell even a hint of it. What happened to me was I was steaming an area which had a plastic trash bag and the pee that was on and near it didnāt start to break down much yet so I couldnāt really smell it. Then I realized there was pee that had broken down UNDER the fucking bags. Holy fuck itās like sniffing ammonia before a set when you heat up the stuff thatās started to stink.
You mean āI primed my system for anabolic growth over the next 24-48 hoursā
Perception is realityā¦
