My ex girlfriend that took me to court for walking past her at the gym has now made a facebook post about how I gave her body image issues by verbally abusing her and shaming her 'squishy bits' for 2 years. Obviously none of this actually happened, because she's a total loon, but still. Good poo poo.

I do! But I try to stay in the spirit of my 5/3/1, so I don't do stuff like that until my 3s/1s week. Thinking about doing some heavy singles up to ~205 or 210 on my 3s week, then trying to crush 225 on the 1 week.

Yuppie gym trip report-

Negatives: Squat racks on fifth floor, benches / dumbbells on fourth floor, cardio on third floor, changing rooms on second floor. Someone was using a loud-rear end circuit station change alarm (I dunno, just a really piercing beep noise) in the squat rack room. Fewer water fountains than I hoped there'd be.

Positives: Giant bowl of chalk powder next to squat racks, plates fit bars extremely tight, every squat rack has its own full set of plates, change room has a sauna and a scale, cardio machines have a solitaire app. Recovering from latest deload rather nicely.

Also I'm hardly noticing the stairs, which is crazy because I used to avoid stairs like the plague. Which is probably how I got so fuckin' fat.

E: Just did a quick check and my resting heart rate has dropped from 89 bpm (measured a couple years back when I was still heavy) to 61 bpm, holy fuckin' poo poo.

I've bulked a bit too fast. Like twice as fast as I wanted to, because I wasn't tracking calories. Not sure if I should set a weight limit then switch to maintenance or a cut early, or if I should ride the dreamer bulk through to the end of february. A pair of jeans was already a casualty. I think my plan now is to stop eating garbage entirely and try to eat a bit more than I did while losing weight.

I have made more gains in the past month and a half than in my past 4 months. Eating food is good for moving weight.

For me, not eating junk food means I won't be gaining 2lbs/wk but instead closer to 0.5-1. Which is how I screwed up. It's more of a calories in thing.

I mean your cholesterol and blood pressure would probably fair better without the huge amount of saturated fat and sodium contained in McD's food.

Other than health, there's a small difference from timing your simple carbs around your workouts that no one in this thread would probably be disciplined enough with their diet to notice.

Agreed. Both bulking and cutting still require care and attention to caloric intake.

I may take this to heart. I was just getting frustrated with a total lack of progress. Like nothing went up much in 6+ months, and even before that it crawled for 6 months. So like an entire year of kinda stalling strength wise despite only lifting for 18 months total. Gaining weight made me PR in everything drat near every session for the entire past month. Not little PRs either, like what people claim beginner gains are.

So at least now I know I can make progress, and that will hopefully motivate me to stick it out while losing some weight again. I might keep gaining weight until the end of the month but I'll try to slow it down some.

Anti-Hero posted:

I still put care into it I just went a little heavy on extra baked goods. Eating an extra 2k calories here, an extra 2k there adds up real fast if you do it 2 times per week on top of your planned bulk.

Yeah an extra 4K calories is a little over a lb of fat.

How long have you been lifting for? Personal anecdote: I’m a skinny twink that requires a lot of calories to put on weight, and I have to have my training really on point or those extra calories just go to fat. With training 5 days a week I eat 2700 cals/day to put on about 2 lbs of weight A MONTH. That’s a weekly surplus of like 1500 kcals. Another 4K on top of that and hello fat city.

I think the best way to handle bulking, in my limited experience, is find the minimum amount of calories needed to sustain training progress. Or at least that’s how I view it, I could be wrong. I’ve only been seriously training for a couple years now (with 8 previous years of loving around).

I've seen studies that show if you eat a ton of, lets say, carbs at once and don't burn them off they'll turn to fat easier because of [insert science here]

insulin spikes, uhh, and such.

nah, i had poo poo cholesterol breakdown and elevated bp at one point in college even w/ 13÷ bf and mma training because i was eating spectacularly garbage college diet. elevated bp especially will gently caress your arterial stiffness over time regardless of how fit you are

plus lifters are susceptible to a lot of heart conditions that our cardio nemeses arent (and vice versa)

I've been lifting around 18 months. At maintenance or a deficit until now.

My plan was 1lb/wk gain for 12 weeks. I over shot that significantly by not keeping track and eating a bunch of foods I didn't know the caloric content of.
