Just finished reading over 200 post on why your a powerlifter…and agree with 95% of them
"You have the biggest quads in your gym… and the smallest calves.
You check your depth while taking a dump. "
guilty.
When you absolutely gross out your co-worker because you eat so damn much at work . . .
When you visit relatives for Thanksgiving dinner and bring along protein powder and canned tuna for dessert . . .
When you simply loathe cooking because it delays you from eating . . .
I actually got my first lat cramp while wiping my ass the other day. I was actually pretty proud.
CS
When you lose your tp “in there”
When your boxers roll up on your thighs
When you get “tri-spasms”
When you can’t stop thinking about your traps and core when carrying something
When you tell people who your favorite athletes are and they respond “Who?”
Any lift under your bodyweight is isolation or warmup.
The cashier looks confused when you check out with a cart full of frozen veggies enough to feed a whole vegan family…only to see that you have enough fried chicken under that to feed an entire black family.
When a cheat meal is a meal without enough protein.
When your calluses have calluses on them.
When your squat weak point is your traps, but your bench weak point is your quads.
When you eat more during a workout than most others eat during a meal.
when I am called the “ghost of christmas past” as I drag 120# of chains and bands through the spa and I get to say that actually I am the "Spectre of future strength : ) !!!
…When you take 3 to 10 minute breaks. . . . . between reps.
…When anything under 85% is light weight.
You’ve ever dropped something and just go buy another, because it’s easier than picking it up.
You’ve ever asked a stranger to tie your shoes

You’ve ever made protein shakes with whole cream.

You can name 3 places on the way home from the gym to pick up a rotisserie chicken
A rotisserie chicken and a protein shake counts a good snack before dinner
You have ever eaten hummus with a spoon and washed it down with a protein shake
You weigh yourself before and after you take a dump and keep track of the largest difference and try to beat it
When you want to “cheat” to take a big dump you take your metamucil.
You get mad when you see 20 10lb weights on the squat rack and no 45’s
you know what protein powder and beer tastes like.

Funny you mention this. Actually had this discussion with my workout partner last night. I realized I had gone from wearing a 32x30 to wearing a 36x32 in the past 6 months I have been working with him. I didn’t realize how much I had grown until last night.

I can only wear Levis 569s. They were designed to be baggy, but fit me perfectly around the legs while still keeping the waist trim.
