Stepped on the scale today after 2300cal & before lifting. 189lb. LeSigh… I think that before I was counting cals, I was consuming ~3-3500/day while awake then binging on peanut butter & milk at night. I may have to step up to 4k/day if there are gains to be made. I work 9hr days in a body shop so I’m on my feet & messing under cars & with parts & sanding shit all day. Nothing too strenuous but it adds up.

Wow exes doing spiteful shit is a new one for me & it’s like rubbing salt in a wound that they themselves had a hand in gouging. Fuuuuu.

However…
Genetics + hard work + t-nation + tinder = ummm positive reinforcement hahaha

Got to the gym today & counter lady says my ex stopped in to try to get the $73 she paid on my gym membership back. Not my problem lady. The agreement was between you & the cardholder & I paid her for that. We’ll see but I may have a barbell, loadable dumbbells &/or a sandbag or bench in my future. Gym costs me ~3.50/trip plus the membership. If I’m paying a double annual fee, fukk them.

Anyway I had a crusher of a workout after :smiley:

Start a tinder encounters log, that way those of us in monogamous relationships can live vicariously through you!

Lol @boyce79 not worthy of it’s own log…yet :smiling_imp:

Fun fact, the bios talking about “noo hookups/FWB” &/or “No I won’t fuck you” are the girls that are quickest to get into the “…are you good at giving orgasms…” “…need a Dom to hold me down & give it to me…” (both actual chats with matches) talk.

Bio is full of pirate sexual references - raise me mast, blow the man down, booty raids, dinghy rides, etc…

Lead pic similar to my avatar. Deleted actual pic because Google image search is a thing. Sales is about not blowing deals as much as it’s about closing deals :wink:

Have the pic of my dogs that I posted & the pic I posted of my ass eating my underwear from here. 10 matches the first day, 4 since. No hookups but talking to a few hotties now.

Ok updates when there are updates. Maybe the weekend, over 35 & working & all :yum:

Been talking to a squat chick from tinder. THOSE THIGHS. Magic 8ball says all signs point to yes. She is so too young to get that reference I think :joy:

Warmups. Doing hangs & holds & whatever still but also doing some work towards a front lever. It would be nice to have the thicc legs & be able to hold one cleanly

Dips x I dunno 3 sets? Tried to slooooowww the negative & stay tight & get my chest as close to parallel with the floor as I could then do the concentric controlled & explosive & with my chest mostly. Didn’t count reps, stopped when I felt weak.

I’ll get to 3800 today. I’m a small mass gainer & a big ass scoop of peanut butter away

Want to swap metabolisms for a while?
I’m struggling to limit calories whilst you can’t get enough!

Sure I’d switch for a little while but I love being lean! Stepped on today (I know, not empty weight) before lifting. 188lb. I think 3800 is close to maintenance for me at this “wake up 185-87” weight.

On a little kinda deload thing. Took 2 days off & low volume today, probably taking another 2 days off after today. Makes 1 session of low volume in 5 days. If you are following along, you’ll see no deadlifts in last few weeks. Tweaked my back last deadlift day so took a month or so off & added back the higher rep goblets. Back on deadlifts after this deload. Maybe I find a way to keep the goblets in, I like doing them & they have a positive effect on my physique & mental toughness.

188lb post workout underfed under carb’d, sucked down a bunch of water, just took (left?) a lil pee. Been off my calories game a little this week, honestly I get burnt out chasing those calories every day & money has been TIGHT for the last 6wks & will be for another 2-3. I’ll go back on a force-feed when I’m paid. Till then, it’s cut for the beach. Between eating 3-3500cal & goblets/abwheel, my bottom abs are coming in nicely.

Poverty prepp’d today’s meat. Lowrys marinade & hardwood lump charcoal. Yum.

Supasetted pullups with a 25 plate on a chain. Maybe my new favorite exercise. Way more natural feeling than holding a DB with my feet. DB would feel better if I was shorter or the pullup bar was higher.
