The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

My broken left pinky toe is finally 100%. Last night I broke the middle toe on my right foot.

I seem to naturally sit at 10-12% bf if I don’t eat like an A-hole so it’s good to know I’ve accidently started my bulks at the right point.

Was just looking at my peak fatty pics… Wondering why no one told me I was so fat! Was learning manual therapy techniques in school and everyone was fine with poking their fingers into my fat body as I munched on pop tarts and they never said a word.

I used to go for PRs during a bulk but during this most recent transformation challenge I’ve been hitting squat PRs while cutting so I like the approach @T3hPwnisher lays out. Only problem is adjusting the belt as you lose weight. Because my cut was slow at 1lb a week and the volume was fairly low, I felt strong every session which really surprised me. I think the decrease in volume more than makes up for the decrease in calories.

I also like what @T3hPwnisher said about hating training during a bulk, that may have been my mistake. Although my peak weight was heavier than ever this year, I’m already down to the same weight as last year and don’t think I look any better. I think I’ve been scared to really push training because that’s how I burnt out with running. It may be time to really punish myself though (pun intended) if I want to see results in size.

@samul I think some good advice has been given about picking your goals, performance or aesthetic, and sticking with it for a bit. After my first year of stalling out I ate seriously and gained 23lbs in 19 weeks. Got strong and fat but the abs came back easily, you just gotta trust that you will get them back and focus on growing.

Last night I dreamt I was at an elderly lady’s home. Each of us was in our own rocking chair and we were knitting.

She had a knitted jumper, missing the chest section. Her breasts were naked and exposed but they looked like a 19 year old’s breats perched on an old lady body.

This is the craziest lifting feat I’ve seen. I imagine just standing with that much weight for 10 minutes is hard, fuck it even 98 air squats doesn’t sound like fun really. This weight weight for damn near 100 reps is absolute insanity.

I wonder if it kills him he didn’t get to 100?

It must have, from what I’ve heard about him.

What kind of weird shit did you take before bed?

ZMA, the crazy is real

I confess that THIS shit pisses me off:

Planet Fitness has targeted every single teen thinking they can get big and strong going to Planet Fitness.

Another confession — I was just forced to empty a can of pepper spray into my brother’s eyeballs. He tried to bite my father; he hasn’t flipped like that in a long time. He couldn’t control it, but I feel bad that I had to fucking destroy his face.

I’m just lucky I had it with me.

My confession — I feel bad because he couldn’t control that particular violent outburst; but I don’t feel bad because even though he’s autistic, he’s a fucking bully.

I don’t know about that. Those individuals in the ad don’t have a physique that I’ve ever desired.

Pigyback confession: I’m seriously considering going. At least they have machines, cables and power racks

Free pizza and Red Bull some days too I hear :joy:

In reality most whom are looking for more then general fitness will evidently gravitate towards a different environment.

Also in reality, most of whom won’t come more than twice before they go back to their video games, but some number, lets say 20%, will cough up for a membership at some point, only some of whom will stick with it long term and actually utilize the gym, and others of which will pay without taking up space.

It’s a marketing campaign, and a good one.

Side note: I met my ex-husband when he came to my gym with a 30 day free pass and I sold him a membership.

Confession - me too.

I have a Black membership, just too cheap to get rid of.

My meat head gym is $360 for the year. And, I’m thinking about joining LA Fitness as well so I can work out with my kids.

I have a membership problem.

I’m a member of a gym I’ve never worked out in. I’ve tanned there a few times though. Going on 2 years now

I’ll join the membership problem gang. Snap fitness that is 2 miles from home for general workouts, another membership at a strongman/powerlifting gym 20 mins away that I only go to on weekends and considering getting an alumni membership at my uni’s rec center because they had an expansion after I graduated and I’d also have access to the pool, 300m indoor track facility, rock climbing, and racquetball.

On top of all that I spent $400 on a rack, weights, dumbbells and a couple bars last week.

Me too…

I’m about to join a second gym, solely for the sauna.
