FUCK YEA!!! EAT IT VARIANCE!!! After a couple rough weekends I tweaked some shit and FUCK YEEA!!! 5-0 today but the big thing is the grenades I dodged by passing on my normal plays. I could still get crushed this weekend if tomorrow goes tits up but it would take a reverse miracle.
There you go, the jinx is in.
Currently watching Gilmore girls…for the 17th time and I dont even like this show but I get out voted every time.
Pz Squat PR is both 5lbs and 1 rep PR. Prior best was 455 for 2.
Knees feel better than they did last week but they werent having any assistance. I am pretty sure I will put Deads and Squats together again since I cant do assistance anyways. Kind of annoyed by that. Today it wasnt so much my shin like before as my knees like last prep.
Physique: Not a Complete Slob Delts were poppin today so I have some faith I am putting on some quality tissue. I think I am still over 100kg in the AM so maybe I am growing into this weight a bit which is ideal for me.
Diet: Yes Not tracking anything or skipping cheat meals. Eating mainly Beef and Brown rice. I found out if I eat brown rice I dont need another fiber source so hell to the fuck yea!!

He did ask Martins just be like “OMG DO YOU KNOW MATEUSZ??? Can you introduce me to him???” and they laughed and he explained the story.
Martins camera man and best friend was talking to Mateusz and told him that he was his favorite but Martins was right behind him and was like WTF dude??? Very funny stuff.
Wait, hold that. Luis got too nervous so Jullian did the question hahaha thats my Luis. Jullian is the guy on the LEFT in photo. It should be in his next YT video.
AM Stats: 80.8kg LEAN MASS
100.5kg Body weight
98cm Waist
47cm Neck
19.6% Body fat using the Navy Method
That lean mass has to be a PR. I am getting pretty excited. I have never been this size and still have certain things like delt veins (all 4), upper quad defnition, back vein (on my shoulder blade) or even delt striations to this level. The amount of fat I feel on my ass and abs is way less that what I would expect at this weight. And I have another 14-16 weeks of lean bulking.
Game plan is to just keep eating and training like this through this prep and my next. I am hopeful I can can another 2-3 kg of lean mass (about 5kg body weight) then cut.
December 9th 2019 - Gravity Wars #3: Battle del Norte
March 3rd 2020 - Gravity Wars #4: Battle of the Bulk
March 4th 2020 - Begin getting shredded
Hopefully my BF% will still be sub 20% in March so then I can lose about ~1% body weight each week and then I will be in just time for June 1st. That is using the Navy method which seems to be about 5% high, either way acceptance of the weight loss (and strength) will be key.
I am trying really hard to be happy for Luis but you know what the old Instagram Proverb says “those who experience better things than you are jerks”. LOL
Luckily Luis is playing 20 questions (a minute) and relaying all that info to me. Also apparently all the strongman think that Eddie Hall is a p****. I refuse to use that word to describe somebody but you get the point. And they think Thor is awesome.
Any who it turns out they all think they did a lot of things to help Eddie win such as changing the events and questionable judging HOLY SHIT!!! I said all that, a lot of us did. I now give Thor a pass on the way he acted on the Podium etc.
Very awesome to hear all that. I can be happy for Luis now
I hate doing abs at this gym because there isnt a really good place to do them. Also bringing back the side bends because last time I got lean I was starting to have oblique straitions that I had never had before. That was the first time I ever really trained side bends so here’s to hoping they come back better…even if it does make my waist wider. I kind of know I wont be pretty, but I think I can have some muscle mass and be lean.
Bench went well, delts were a bit grindy feeling though. And my first reps are always so terrible on every set. Not a great quality for a powerlifter but that is what these days are about, getting heavy volume and hopefully, eventually all my reps will be good.
HAPPY FKN SATURDAY!!! Got my pokerz played early this morning and barring any betting opportunities I am done for the day!!! I celebrated by eating 2 churros (8/10), a turnover (0/10), 2 donuts (7/10), a cookie (2/10) and a carrot cake cupcake (3/10).

LOL My Buddy I havent seen him in about 6 months until a couple days ago and he was clearly hittin the sauce while I was gone. He was the one who said “Oh thats why you are so strong” about my roids and that Hamstring Curls machines were for women. Any who…
Oh man have you seen Game Changers?
No
Oh man you have to watch it
Dude, that is a bunch of bullshit
Really
Yes
Then how do you think I got all this??? points at chest
in my head: “brah, you really want me to answer that in front of all these people”
LOL, I have 2 huge issues with Vegans for humanitarian reasons. First, there are people in slavery, poverty, children starving etc. Animals just aren’t ahead of those issues. And second, your argument is that just because animals dont talk or might not be as smart as you doesnt mean they dont feel. Uhhhh just because you cant quantify how a plant feels doesnt mean they dont. The fact that plants repair themselves is proof that they feel.
Wifey guilted me into “a drink” with “remember when you said you should have spent more time out with me in playa?” So gonna celebrate a good week of poker and drink away a shit month of sports
I ate the equivalent of about 2 of those through out the day. My (lazy) version of an English Breakfast. The tea is “English Breakfast” so that is the important part I assume.
Monday AM Stats: 81.7kg LEAN MASS
100.8kg Body weight
97cm Waist

I woke up looking awesome so I was pretty sure I weighed like 95kg but holy shit up a smidge!!! Waist came in a bit. My neck I actually measured at like 48.5cm so I just assume some where there was a fk up and left it as is.
Bench n Delts

Pullups 6-5-5 (got bad at these)
Lateral Raises

Crunches
Side Bends
Bench every 1st rep is getting better. I think it might be that with out the bar pushing me into position I am out of position making the first reps off and also painful to my delts. 2nd reps felt great both in form and pain free. I worked really hard putting myself into what I thought was good position but just not good enough at it yet.
Poker
Hands: 2666
Winrate: -4.72
Status: Won a smidge
I play across 4 different levels (5 on really bad days LOL) so it is really easy for my to have a positive winrate and lose money or vice versa. Today was a true test of how far I have come as a poker player over the last year or so. Skill wise I am a better player than I ever was (the games are much tougher) but mentally I am a shell of myself. Both with stamina and stability. It is progressing though.
I have played 2k+ hands for 8 days straight now. I am going to keep that streak going and hopefully I keep progressing. #fksportsbetting
Its only about 2 hours of actual play time. I break it into short sessions and some in the AM and some in the PM. I play online on Stars PLO Zoom (~1000 hands per hour). Right now my brain is only good for about that many decisions in a day but it is getting better.

Pretty shit workout for life shit. I was really hoping for 585 for my 3x1 but nothing was there. On the plus side Squats did feel awesome.
My lockout on deads was shit again. I think I am a bloody shin deadlifter…but I have shin guards. By that I mean I have to sink my hips a bit more and sit back but this will drag the bar up my shins all day. I have noticed my touch and go reps are more RDLs compared to my best deadlift singles.
Gyno Surgery: Incoming? Hey kids wanna do drugs that make you huge and strong??? Gyno has gotten worse with time with me probably because I am running more and more test every cycle there is just so much more aromatization going on. I never had a problem with gyno before running Nandrolone but now I am losing the battle while taking 1mg Arimidex and 40mg of Tamoxifen (20mg AM/PM) every day. 2 more weeks and I am back on TRT for a while but next year I am running a tren+test POWA blast and I am going to start looking at gyno surgery costs and getting my glands removed.

These are my 7th and 8th eggs of the day. Brown rice and this crappy cheesy polish sausage. By crappy I mean I wouldnt feed this to any body I cared about, but it tasted fun.
