Ditto, I drink between 3-8 pints a day. It works quite well re total calorie intake, cause if I drink more than 3 beers i lose appetite and skip dinner!
Iāve sort of worked out that I probably average about 1000 calories a day from alcohol, so just stopping drinking would probably drop me 2lbs of fat a week without changing anything else.
Dude, thatās goddamn impressive, and also maybe you have a bit of a problem lol. I actually probably never exceed a couple drinks a day, but I enjoy it and donāt give a fuck. When you hit 40 and above, enjoying your life is alpha and omega.
Iām either on or off with it, I can go for for months without drinking, but I struggle with just one or two, one always leads to many.
Have this in my log from last summer when I stopped drinking and committed to leaning up. 25 days between.
Iām planning on a dry May for the finish of the
t-ransformation
Hah, yeah, quite a difference. I try to stay in some kind of equilibrium never really straying too far into one direction or the other. But that also kind of makes it mentally difficult when bulking or cuttingā¦because I dislike getting too far off target in either direction.
Which leads me back to the pertinent question: just WTF am I trying to accomplish right now? I donāt even know.
Maybe itās the journey that matters not the destination.
Iāve kind of got two conflicting goals, I want to look better in my 40ās than I ever have, (visible abs and appreciable level of muscularity) and I also want to hit 5,4,3,2, plates on the big 4 lifts.
I know I could get the lifts much quicker if I wasnāt concerned with the first goal.
Truth. I mean, I have specific ideas about losing some fat and showing a tiny bit of abs, but I also know I will turn around again in a few months and go for pure strength because I will tire of being a pussy.

Thereās a little voice in the back of my head thatās saying, āfuck abs, fuck 5432, get massive and go for 6543!ā
I would probably do it, too, except imagine all the damn clothes I would have to buy.

Your right, hate clothes shopping, lean out it is.
But what if I go too far and drop down a size.
Shit better just stay as I am.
I am in a middle state where both the fat clothes and the skinny clothes fit. That is the only positive thing about this state.
Just wear the skinny clothes whilst bulking so you and everyone around you is aware of the gainz.
Which I will do. Up until such point that I cannot actually, you know, button my pants.
@simo74 has the right of it. Just fucking get stronger and who fucking cares. Then again, he is already surrounded by women.
Kind of a side note: was listening to a podcast discussing all the weirdness in body building with the different classes now. Got to thinking, wouldnāt it be much more entertaining and marketable, if there was a performance aspect?
Like a knockout round of like bench/Squat/for repās, before they did the physique judging?
If you are going that direction, just do all kinds of tests of athleticism and make it all a part of the overall judging. The winners would look nothing like bodybuilders.
CrossFit?

Fuck, I wrote CrossFit and deleted it. Then you came and wrote it anyway. I AM NOT DOING CROSSFIT!
Except maybe, because there are often cute girls there.
Itās odd even the non Scandinavian ones have very strong jaw lines though.
