Nah: according to my grandfather, all the calories in food is in the last bite. That’s why you always leave that bit on the plate: ultimate dieting hack.

Meathead confession (?): My dinner alone yesterday contained 180g of protein and a total of over 2200 calories. Beverages included 2900 kcal.

Who the hell would want to live in Washington D.C?
It’s a great place to take a significant other tho.
Having lived within 10 miles to it for my whole life…
Not me, lol.
The monuments are cool, and it’s probably a big help for anyone who wants to get into politics, but everything’s expensive and the people are pretty obnoxious. Would probably prefer it as a vacation than somewhere to live.

I feel like I should be socializing (networking) more while I’m here at the summer programme… but all I want to do is be a hermit

I confess I made a pretty big mistake.
My boss has been saying ridiculous things about Econ for a while. It’s irritating but of course I’m not in a position to push back.
Well, (former) contractual counterparty is an Econ PhD student so I invited him to a shared discord server we’re in to “set him (my boss) straight”
That sort of worked. Unfortunately…… turns out the two men are on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum and have been arguing nonstop.
I’ve muted the channel BUT I’m still caught in the crossfire……

Here’s some real meathead stuff.

I confess that I bought 2 45lb kettlebells and had them shipped to my parents’ house so that I could keep training while I was there. I’m sure I could have just done some push ups and bodyweight squats…but lifting weights will always be more awesome.

I confess that the most exciting thing on my mind about my upcoming strongman competition is what I’ll have for dinner afterwards…

I confess that I went to a Pizza Buffet on Father’s Day…only to hit up the salad bar. I even brought my own pack of tuna, because I’d been to this buffet before and knew it had no protein options, so I added the tuna to my salad. Weight classes suck.

This is why I love being a heavyweight.

My heart and soul will always be a heavyweight.
Well, actually, my soul will. My heart had some things to say on the subject.
When your bloodtype is listed as “Ragu”…
But man, somewhere out there is alternate timeline me, and he’s 308lbs and beautiful.

I don’t know what’s with today but I suddenly have this weird appreciation for body building. Like seriously, the grit, determination, and discipline required to reach that level is insane.
Also…that Jay cutler edit part was crazy!

I confess I’m tempted to try a non-stim fat burner. I rationally know they’re useless, but part of me is just desperate to get fluff off
Anna, your version of “fluff” is the equivalent of a weekend binge for most. I ate 2 servings of pasta with a 1lb steak last night and watched the scale tip from 217 to 222.
You don’t need to lose weight; quite seriously i believe you need the opposite of weight loss.

My weight swings 3-5 lbs after a big meal. it’s water and food water. the fluff I’m referring to isn’t coming off. it’s fat that I’ve somehow put on over the past 3 months
Is it making you stronger?

That’s the problem. My strength isn’t keeping up with weight gain.
I’m not super strong so bodyweight ratios matter
I used to be able to deadlift 3x bodyweight, I gained weight and my deadlift had increased but not enough.
I’m going through a bad spell with my squat so I’m heavier AND lifting less
You don’t need a fat burner, you need a coach. A real life person that can teach you, in person, how to achieve this arbitrary goal.

yep
yep, but I don’t have money… and my parents definitely won’t hire one for me
This all goes back to… how bad do you want it. If you want to hire a coach, get a job, make some money, hire a coach. Stop worrying about what mom and dad won’t pay for.
