sounds like Mark Rippetoe’s recommendation. I was watching a video with him in it, and he said the solution to back pain was “gaining some weight”
Woke at 84.9 not sure what happened but it seems that the morning after training my weight drops back a little.
I know exactly how you feel. My wife is always saying I need to lose a bit of weight. Actually that’s not true 2 years ago when I was a runner and weighed 73kg she didn’t complain. Now I am adding weight she always makes comments. She tried to have an intervention the other day but telling me it was unhealthy and I should lose weight. I agreed that once I had added weight I would cut back next year. She just rolled her eyes as if to say why do I bother you never listen to me anyway !! When she told me to eat more last night it was very sarcastic and not at all on board !!

LOL, I actually want to do what @MarkKO is doing right now. I am going to enter a strongman comp in December that has a Master’s LW class that goes up to 220#, and I’m sitting at 203# right now, so it would probably rock to do that, from a performance POV, but I think the domestic consequences would be… less desirable.

Show her a picture of old Marius when he was in Strongman, tell her that’s what your aiming for.

She knows Marius very well so wouldn’t need to show her a picture. I think she is worried I’ll end up more like Geoff Capes

Haha, just googled him, he looked alright when younger, but a fattyboomstick now.
Mate the fact you googled him makes me feel old. He was a champion shot putter back in the 1970’s and then went into strongman. When he won worlds strongest man back in 1983 he was a living legend back in the U.K. Still love watching the old footage.
But you are right, as he got older he did indeed get very fat.

Sorry, man, but I wasn’t alive yet.
The other night my coworkers were giving me crap about being young because I didn’t know the music being played at the concert. I think part of the problem is that I didn’t pay attention to the rest of the world as a kid. I grew up in the country and we had 5 channels on TV. There wasn’t much worth watching so I played on my own (blessing in disguise). I only know the stuff that interested my parents. They listened to Country music and watched the news (and that drove me out of the room).

Im only 23, but was able to walk into alcohol stores at 15 and not get ID checked
Also cons, I got charged as an adult at the cinema when I was 14, and my ID was labelled as “fake”

That has to be the first time I’ve heard of a fake ID to make you younger!
