They could probably feel even better if you adjusted some other things too

Yup. Didnāt wanna have to say it, but it is, of course, the truth.

I have you covered 
Feel free, but Iāll warn you in advance: you will not convince me that moving less will make me more hungry or that strenuous exercise will make me less hungry apart from very briefly if I push too hard and get nauseous.

I have been never been as famished in my life as after crazy training. Proof: yesterday and today. And on days with āregular trainingā I can almost not cheat

@aldebaran @dagill2 good point!
I think the idea is that when sedentary, appetite is higher than whatās necessary for weight maintenance and In the case of intense exercise, this:

Is appetite increased or are people bored?

My thoughts too.
Although if you restate it as a tendency to overeat or undereat when compared to maintenance, then I might be able to get on board.

Your obliques are wider than some peoples lats. Did you do anything specific for them or just lift heavy shit every which way?

Genetics honestly. I get it from my mom. I do zero direct oblique training, as every time I have done it, that very week I end up injuring my back on something. Happened enough times I didnāt care if it was a coincidence, haha. Been a boon for lifting heavy things. Makes it hard to not have love handles though. I have like no waist but wide hips. I am wearing a size 30" jeans these days and they fall off.

Slightly odd question, but whatās your chest and waist measurements? If 30ā jeans fall off you must have a weird waist.
No idea. Havenāt been measured in a long time.

See, this is the waist size I SHOULD be wearing, but my gigantic-shelf ass wonāt let me.
Still looking shredded as hell, man. Kudos, even though your inner fatboy is calling you lately.

Your pressing is even more impressive given how fecking long those arms seem.

@kdjohn Much appreciated dude. And man, I lost my glutes during this weight loss, haha. Been doing daily GHRs in the hopes of getting them back. Totally relate. Used to have to wear Leviās 569s just to accommodate the baggage.
@heretolog Thanks man. Iām like a lab grown deadlifter. Stupidly short torso, mutant long arms, long thin fingers. Whenever I watch myself press, itās like watching Dhalsim from Street Fighter. It was something I took pride in at strongman comps. Iād crush the deadlift event, and dudes would be like āItās just because you have long armsā, and Iād reply āDidnāt I beat you on the press?ā Haha.
AM WORKOUT (0305)
EMOM-Odd minute front squat triple at 190, even minute SSB squat triple at 260
32 rounds total
50 chins
50 band pull aparts
25 band pushdowns
Front squat followed immediately by SSB squat
32x135
8x135
GHR
1x30
Notes: 5lbs more and 2 more rounds than previous workout: canāt be upset with progress like that. I continue to appreciate this workout for what it is. My right knee ached coming down the stairs this morning: still dealing with the tweak from last week. Focused on turning that knee out during front squats. Trying to sink them rock bottom results in that knee wanting to twist to the inside. The āsalt the earthā front squat set at the end keeps being awesome. I really dig racking the bar in the yoke, stumbling to my rack and then hammering out the SSBs. Just completely torches me, and makes the workout go straight from simple conditioning and restoration to building. Got in some daily work in the middle. Still āoweā the ab wheel, but may just skip it today. Iām working 12s for the next 3 days, starting today, so training may get pushed to the weekend.
Guts have been a bit twitchy. It seems Iāve developed an intolerance to peppers. They were a big part of getting ācolorā in my diet, so Iāll be getting more creative it seems. I unfortunately seem to best handle a bland diet, and I figure thatās not ideal from a nutritional standpoint, but itās always been a balancing act.
Oh yeah, and caffeine is going to be SUPER ridiculous these next few days.

Is this like chili peppers or paprika (language barrier)?
