What comes FROM their heads goes back TO their heads? How meta.

No negative gingerism here; my baby brother and a couple cousins are gingers, so you could say I’m ginger-adjacent.

COVID vaccine has completely floored me. Head is pounding and feel sick .

Cancelling my session tonight. First one I’ve missed in 17 weeks :cold_sweat:

Almost everyone I hear speaking of side effects has had the AZ one. I had some minor stuff from 2nd dose of Pfizer but nothing like what people are describing with AZ.

Absolutely brutal @alex_uk mate. I wasn’t expecting that.

The night I got it was horrific.

Lay wide eyed in bed all night with a pounding headache, shivering with cramps all over my limbs and a 10 month old slowly pushing me out my side of the bed all night :joy:

Sounds like you’re prepping for Deep Water!

Funny you say that because I’m planning to give this style of eating a bash @T3hPwnisher mate.

The way I’ve felt over the last day or two combined with having a serious lapse of discipline in my nutrition has made me contemplate my current position. Don’t want to get too whiny about it however the calorie counting is killing me plus @TrainForPain made me think for a moment when he spoke about his food choices influencing his wee girl

Hell yeah dude. Always got my backing. Just makes so much sense to me. There are essential amino acids, essential fatty acids…no essential carbs. Eliminate 1 macro, eat lots of meat, eat more fats when you want to gain, less fats when you want to lose.

Gotta let me know how haggis works into the equation.

Haha I think Haggis is too anabolic for you yanks hence why it’s illegal in your county @T3hPwnisher mate

@T3hPwnisher mate how in god damn can you over eat this way??

I’ve been eating like a lord and I’m at 2300kcal

How the fuck do you bulk on this shit :joy::joy:

If it’s a burden - drop it. For me it’s always something of an excuse to be less disciplined anyway: it’s easier for me to stick to a predetermined calculator than to just tell myself to control my portions while I eat.

Anyway - you’re crushing it while just being stupid simple in the gym; you can definitely apply the same approach to your diet. You’ve got a solid, masterfully bearded head on your shoulders

Cheers @TrainForPain my man

The only issue I have is that I keep workout shit simple because it’s in the gym environment therefore family interaction is nil

Nutrition on the other hand…

Minefield

In saying that, I start back at work in a couple of weeks so I can get a better handle on things as I’ll be away from home more. I’ve been on furlough for 10 out 12 months man. I’m surprised I still have a wife :joy:

Hooray! That is great news. Way to stay positive throughout the time.

I hear you about the minefield. That’s why I always like counting. We’ll see how I go without it. I like the simplicity of drastically reducing carbs, but I tend to overeat fatty meats. Anyway, learning experience and all that. I also didn’t ā€œlikeā€ cardio when I wasn’t doing it and don’t hate it (quite as badly) since I’ve prioritized it; these things work themselves out I suppose. It’s not like we’re doing something hard like giving up beer!
