Not yet, but come September - if the referendum is successful - we may be part of a 3rd world country.[/quote]

I think it’s time to come on over to this side of the pond![/quote]

If I was offered immigration in a field I like I would totally take it. If I get in Abercrombies graduate scheme the opportunity is definitely there!

Yeah, that’s pretty crazy it’s really happening.

And lol at those gifs. I’m trying to keep a straight face as much as possible in that thread… but wow. Even managed to drag Stu into it. I just wanted to see how far the rabbit hole really went, and I don’t think we’re anywhere near the end yet.[/quote]

I can’t take the thread too seriously or I will get angry and have to actually discuss things with the guy. I have to literally do what I did with the good professor and just have a laugh at their ignorance.

=================================================================

I’m totally in a shitty situation. Had to get my first suit today, which was a nightmare.

Ended up having to get 48 inch jacket to fit my shoulders and have major alterations to it so the waist isn’t like a tent, cost a fair bit of £’s. Was a hassle trying to get the guy to give me 34 inch waist trousers as well because the rule there is for trouser waist measurement to be 6 inches less than chest.

I need this suit for graduation in 2 weeks as well as future job interviews. So i’m a bit fucked for losing or gaining weight right now as I want to fit to it as perfectly as I do now!

1/7/2014 shoulders

Fear not droogies, I am still wanting to be lean - not gonna be pulling a marzouk.

Sitting at 195lbs, which is 5lbs down.

Shaved my chest and shit to get a good idea of how fat I am. Weird being fat yet still have a small waist lol.

If I time my dieting right I should still be able to make good use of my new suit.

L raises

5ks x 20 reps x 4 sets

M press

40k x 8 reps,
50k x 6 reps
60k x 4 reps
70k x 1 rep

Wide grip press

30k x 15 reps x 3 sets

Rear delt swings

10k x 25 reps x 3 sets

78

Are you going to continue with these bulk/cut cycles in the future? Do you find this to be a better approach than “lean gains” (not leangains, but just, you know what I mean)?

Trying to understand the motivations, benefits, pros/cons, etc.

79

And you have made some really good progress in your arms, shoulders and traps. Definitely noticeable compared to before. I’m impressed.

Sorry for the terse writing; been a weird day for me.

(EDIT: I just remembered why. I’m sore and I slept badly. Chiro + painful soft tissue work + axle Z presses really did me in.)
