Strong and Conditioned (ChongLordUno)

Today at the gym I did that motion while holding a 35 plate at my side to stretch my trap. It felt good! Like I grew an inch taller.

Ok man

This has shocked me. Cold flexed morning hotel pic btw

I look thin. I look like I have no muscle. I don’t know where I’m going with this.

I don’t want to ā€˜bulk’ however I feel that the first lockdown devoured so much muscle. It’s like I came straight back in to a fat loss block without slowly building tissue

Maybe this is the ā€˜perpetually small guy’ we all have inside our head consuming our thoughts.

Fuxk man, I don’t know :man_facepalming:

Pretty sure this is this. I’ve had the same ā€œshockingā€ crazyness a couple days ago. You didn’t trained for a few days, plus general volume, especially on the beach bodyparts was very low these times because of all this => you’re flatter is all.

I’m in the same conundrum. But in the end, you have no big weights: strength is pretty much out of the question. Hypertrophy, real hard! So not a bad thing to try and lean out, and maintain strength and muscle because it’s way easier to maintain. Then when gyms reopen you can do maintenance/very slight surplus and you blow back up in a few weeks! Probably even better than ever? That’s what happened with me and Colossus after the first lockdown, despite the fact that I was eating like a pig, never sleeping + alcool (and sometimes drugs) 4x a week. Now I live a like a monk, at bed at 9 pm, no alcool etc and I don’t feel I’m getting better at all ahahah

But yeah have faith, it’ll get better in the long term I have no doubt about it! We can clearly see your shoulders and traps, the nice yoke. But it’s normal, you did KB stuff: lots of clean etc

If you’re not doing lots of dips, arm works etc of course chest and arms will look flatter

Yeah I hear you bud

In saying that, I’m at that place where I don’t know what the fuxk is happening

I can feel myself heading towards dark nutrition

Already bought myself a pack of salted caramel brownies and had a KFC ON TOP of a hotel lunch

I’m bored as fuck man. Had a COVID test and have to spend the rest of the day in a hotel room.

Rotherham is grim as fuck man.

You’re painting such a gloomy scenery of England ahahah

Yeah well KFC is delicious and at least has proteins! A few days ago I was glancing at the advent calendar my sister bought me. It’s been here for days. All big 24 Toblerone chunks. I ripped it all and ate them all in one sitting.

Now I’m eating stricter but I don’t see much change. there is the dark zone when you feel getting flatter, smaller, but don’t see visual change. We have to push through it honestly you can’t fuck off your body in a week of vacation and a few cheats.

You’re looking lean man! Loved the vid with your son too.
We all want to fill out the XXL shirt. The reality is most of us look more jacked in a medium.

You’re doing so much cardio, though, you can probably have some more fun eating this holiday without getting fat and - bonus - justify it by saying you’re now thin enough it’s gain weight time!

You could be at that point where you’ve lost lots of fat so feel small but not so much that your abs are visible.

Thanks man

When I woke up and took that photo, I felt I was auditioning for a role in The Machinist 2.

Obviously I’m gonna keep on grinding. Good point about the cardio. Have been rinsing that lately

Yeah man, I’m desperate for that ab action

Took a time out from logging. Got back from Leeds on Thursday and have been spending more time with the family

Also put on about 4lbs as being lonely on hotel rooms brought the food demons back. Eating KFC and hotel food. Alongside cakey treats :man_facepalming:

Been doing KB work. Nothing specific. Almost playing about with them. Complexes mainly. Just trying to keep myself oiled up for when hopefully, the gyms open back up.
