I had some real momentum going but now I'm on mandatory leave which means I'm not even allowed to set foot in the corporate gym for two weeks. I have to go back to my local gym and I really can't work up the desire to go there again.

"Can't work up the desire" JFC. What the gently caress is that. The desire to work out should burn inside you, so that if you miss a work out you feel guilty, feel like you are slipping back towards your old self who didn't work out, who didn't gently caress, who was just kinda waiting to die. If you don't feel like that alright take a few weeks off, your highness. You've earned it.

Been on a post show diet for 6 weeks now and my hunger levels are still all hosed up. Non-geared bodybuilding at its finest, folks

sounds like you need to get on some gear, then BB prep sounds awful. heard of so many people who are sick for quite some time after especially if they get one of the millions of "coaches" who just starve you down to a skeleton without thought to what it'll do to your metabolism

I recommend the Iron Culture podcast if you want to hear about great bodybuilding stories like getting so lean people can see your rear end in a top hat without you bending over, or a bunch of dudes in a kitchen wearing nothing but a sock over their dicks slapping fake tan onto each other other's buttcheeks

I went from ~240 -> 207 and I’m going to let myself rebound to 225-230 and hang out there until I’m like 50 which I won’t need any gear for I don’t think. Edit: I actually worked with RP as my coaching team and they were phenomenal. Jared Feather had me eating into the show and I never went below 2100 kcal/day

As you get older don't you still need testosterone supplementation? Because father time wins every fight, but you can delay that process.

There are tons of people who stay big into their late 40s without trt. The key is it being maintenance rather than new growth

Me, a peasant: I’m 34 years old and going to my first (amateur open) powerlifting meet in two weeks. You, a wizened lifter: here, let me give you two cents. Any thoughts about what I should be doing? I basically don’t anticipate being anywhere near the top, and that’s cool because I am not nearly dedicated enough for that, but I really just don’t want to embarrass myself. Any faux pas that I should know about to avoid?

Eat/bring food you know won't gently caress with your stomach, enough for a whole day. Talk to people, both for help and because you'll meet cool people. You might have to initiate the conversation. Ed Coan carries himself like a goony recluse until you introduce yourself to him, I think most (non-rear end in a top hat) powerlifters are the same.

Do you have a friend to go with you and help do coachy things? Do powerlifting meets typically have coaches? Mostly so you don't have to focus on anything but lifting.

All your anxiety is probably going to melt away after you hit your first squat. Enjoy! Also if you aren't being coached right now, make sure to look up your federations commands and have a friend call them out to you in the gym so you can practice. It's really easy to skip a rack command or whatever because you're too in the moment, so I'd definitely practice a bit to get it ingrained.

TenementFunster posted:i still hate squats I used to, then I'd look at all the bros in my gym that have giant upper bodies & arms that are bigger around than their calves. Or ones that hide their chicken legs with baggy shorts & track pants, then try to brag about how much they bench. Shut your face, half-lifter, come brag to me when your squat weight is better than your bench...this ain't "trickle down gymanomics"

The bro owner of my gym was hanging out and talking with another bro when I was squatting the other day, and said it was four months since he squatted. I said something along the lines of "oh, sorry to hear it's not working out". "No", says he, "there's nothing wrong, I am really strong at it. It's just that my rear end gets to big and I think it looks weird." Sure, my man, getting to muscular is a common problem. Anyway, I ended up asking him to join me for for some squats on monday, favouring strength over hypertrophy, and he agreed. However, something mysteriously came up and he regrettably had to take a rain check. I mean, you can just say that you dont like to squat, it is not a crime

You should talk to the manager there is no reason a customer should be able to gently caress with heat for the entire gym.

Yesterday a girl turned the fan on the other side of the weight room on after she saw me turn the other fan on. My sweaty rear end appreciated it.

Both the owner and the other guy are friends of mine, they are total, superstitious bros though and both have a history of back pain, I just decided to take his comment about getting too big at face value since I wanted to see where it lead.

Weighed in at 168 this morning, managed to pull 4@420. Getting enough calories is magical. I think 5 was there too, just didn't want to grind.
