Maternity wear.

Bwahahahahahaha.

That’s funny.

My twelve year old told me I looked much younger than my age. Physically. Not my face.

Embarrassed to admit that I wore a pair of 32’s to work on Friday. And they were baggy.

My wife told me I’m not a very good pillow this morning!

Translation: “you’re getting lean.”

Na jeggins are like jean leggings, these are legit jeans but the denim actually stretched a little. Which I need with my legs and arse !!

That would work because the waste is big and elastic but the legs are still skinny. I need the other way round. Normal waste but big butt and legs!!!

My work trousers are made of this

I think they’ve been doing this to women’s jeans for a long time and my wife hates it. She prefers just plain old denim. I’ve never seen men’s jeans with the stretchy feature. I buy my jeans from western stores of Wrangler online. I found that they actually have a wide variety of leg sizes—not every pair falls under the category of nut huggers.

We have a store here that always has them “on sale” and I can get a pair for $30-40.

I’ve found that the other traditional brands like Levi or Arizona don’t make jeans with big enough legs for me. And I don’t think my legs are big. I guess the average person is walking around on toothpicks.

I confess I slept in yesterday rather than getting up for my early morning Saturday deadlift workout.

I’m sure my duplexmates enjoyed the quieter morning. I tried to make up for it with 10x10 deadlifts in the evening, but the damage to my psyche was already done.

Are you not worried about the missed session?

Could always start a thread asking if you will be okay if you are concerned.

I already aligned my MRV against my astrological sign and neurotype to discover I had lost exactly .47 cubits of muscle.

Don’t you train for strength? Ain’t no way your building 0.47 cubits per session.

Also, I consulted the stars once for training advice. They said just do 5/3/1.

I’m beginning to think all this hard work on natural genetics is overrated. It seems that reaching my pathetic goals would be a lot easier with a little pharmaceutical help.

According to the Pharma section I meet the age and experience requirements…

I came to the conclusion earlier this year too.

Wife Comments from this weekend:

Her: your truck looks really small to me today. (I drive a f250 diesel)

I’m not sure if she’s questioning my manhood. If I lift it more, then people may assume I’m overcompensating. Women are so paradoxical.

Me: hey our town (~1,500 people) will be having an inaugural end of summer party and 5k. Should I do it.

Her: no…

Me: why cause your mom will be here?

Her: no, because you wouldn’t finish.

Just like that… training starts today.

Lol - I recently had a physical and they did blood work. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect because I had never checked my levels before. When I did get it back, @BrickHead looked it over, read my t-levels and replied “well, no TRT for you”

TRT or steroid use for lifting?

Yes.

From what I can tell using it for lifting can easily lead to TRT.

I’m in the same boat. I had my T levels checked last year and it appeared to be fine.

I must admit that if I was on TRT then I’d probably blast and cruise with it. If I’m already doomed to inject my T the rest of my days then I might as well go big(ger). Until then I can’t seem to take the leap. Hormone manipulation scares me.

I’d read a while back that new fatherhood can cause a drop in T. Mine seemed to go through the floor when my wife had my son.

After a couple of years it seemed to go back up, and more recently seem just skippy. I’m actually kind of afraid to have mine tested. Aside from no apparent reason, I worry about enough crap.

Lack of sleep: check

Getting kicked in the nads 10+ times per week: check
