Yes, but did he try to squeeze your bicep?

sadly, no, but I did once have a gay guy at a party tell me I had a nice ass. I was like “thanks, bro!”
As far as I’m concerned, one ass-related comment from a gay guy is worth like 1000 comments from a chick. Those guys know asses.

An advert for this keeps coming up on my browser.
How beautiful is that???
For three and a half grand, you’d expect it to be, but still

Yogi, I got a video on technique for you, mate. Few pointers, couple tricks, y’know, just general good shit.

well I certainly didn’t expect to come home to that, but I’m up for it!
You are all encouraged to post as much random shit up in here as possible.
I’m kiiiiinda toying with the idea of working with a coach to get so lean it scares people. I’ve absolutely zero intention of ever doing any kind of physique show, but it’s a bucket list thing of mine to get into that kind of condition.
I’ve done a little shopping around and to get a good coach is a significant amount of money. Like, an amount of money that I could just afford to pay (I am not, by any measure, a wealthy man) but only just, and would require quite a lot of sacrifice in other areas of my life. That’s obviously a huge consideration.
That said - I get that it needs to be a significant amount of money, otherwise I’d probably half-ass it. If I drop a shitload of cash on something like this then you can bet your ass I’ll give it everything I’ve got, and I would probably be living the life of a total hermit anyway while I’m doing it so I’d save a little money on social life stuff while it was going on. In a month period I probably go out for dinner like, I dunno, maybe 6 times? So a 3 month cut’d probably drop that back to 1 or 2 a month, max, or so I’d expect…
The other thing to consider is just why the fuck would I want to do it in the first place? I’ve proven to myself on several occasions that I have the discipline to cut fat successfully; I can go from fat shit to beach ready in 8 weeks or less fairly easily, so why would I ever really need to take it to the next level? It’s a lot of money and suffering… for what?
I think part of me has always thought I would eventually do one mega cut, and then move from that to a sustainable level of leanness, which I would easily maintain with the knowledge I gained from the mega cut. I’ve sort of always thought that’s the phase of my lifting career I’d eventually move into. I sit here now typing this at, I think, 195lbs with abs (beach, not stage) and I know that even when I use drugs if I creep up past the two hundo mark it never really looks all that good. I’m just happier keeping my waist tight, rather than stretching bigger shirts. Suits my body type better, I think.
There’s always that little voice that says “noooo blast loads of fucking steroids for the next couple of years and get to like 220 before cutting” but the fact is I fucking hate taking steroids these days. I hate buying them, I hate all the ancillaries that go along with them, I hate controlling my fucking oestrogen and I absolutely, positively, fucking LOATHE pinning. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze at all for me anymore.
So I dunno. The plan wouldn’t be to cut until after summer; probably around autumn or just before, so I have some time to consider it.
Has anyone else ever considered something similar? Am I stone cold crazy to even consider it?

You’re probably crazy, but I’m not quite normal either so glass houses, etc
Anyway, no, not just you. It’s a matter of when and not if any more for me. I already have someone lined up who trains out of my gym that I hire for a session or two periodically to help with my nutrition. When I actually decide to focus on physique training, I’ll hire him and pick a show and hand over my entire diet and training.

Wow!!!
I have a proposition for you. Free coaching. Post a pic of yourself, give honest training history, commit to my program. If you aren’t satisfied with the results, I will pay you a fee agreed upon by the forum, and leave the site for good.
P.S. At this point I do not care about your physique status or training status. We can use this as an opportunity to turn a troll into a hero.
Wait… Whos the troll? I’m seriously confused…
He is. Or if it helps to get this done, I will play the part
If you have no plan to do a show, what would be your end point or goal? Like 5% Bf…? Until you get a total of 15 people say you are crazy lean?
Depending on environment, you could be under 5% bf and not get 15 people saying you are really lean.
Sorry, “crazy lean”
Yeah well I guess in Scotland you can’t just walk down the beach with your shirt off winking at chicks inviting compliments 
… Or maybe you can idk…
If really feels like you have proven my point
What are your qualifications?
Have you got contest lean before?
How many clients have you worked with?
How many competed?
How many won?
Any pics of you or you clients contest lean?
Why do you keep threatening/promising to leave this forum as if any one actually cares?
Do you feel you will be missed?
I agree that I think yogi should post a pic but then it don’t bother me or ruin my day so I don’t really care.
