well why not posted:

presently 85kg and I’m 5’10” so I’m a way off my goal of 90kg, which is the reported weight of Christian Bale in his Batman movies. I doubt I’ll get there but we’ll see. 5kg is a big jump and he looks way way bigger.

I’m not doing his ridiculous steroid programme so that sets me way back.

just keep at it

the part of doing it that people dont mention (w goals in mind) is that you are gonna start looking and feeling noticably good while doing it

so keep at it

this also applies to a lot of things that require practice and dedication

finally migrated the power rack from the garage to the basement for winter. 12 bolts connecting 4 parts, not a big deal just a chore.

my squat weight is a lot lower than it used to be but I've been putting more effort into delts and traps and now my back isn't shrieking at me two days later, which is nice

well why not

that thumbnail is a weird way to learn that the kind of "gym bod" i am into is just what it looks like normally if you don't do steroids

nice! I’ve been doing more jogging lately with the pooch. it’s exactly 5 kilometers from my door, around the neighborhood lake, then back home so it’s a good distance to work up to.

i get bored walking. running is just the right amount of challenge/reward balance for me. because this is also me:

Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

had a nice jog on the treadmill tonight, I'm trying to use it (either jogging or walking) every day I don't lift and it's going well so far. I used to hate the treadmill vs running outside but I'm getting used to it

did 2.85 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill. maybe next time I’ll push myself and do 3 miles in 30 minutes.

I’m also happy with how my chest and shoulders are looking in the mirror these days

decided to shuffle my workouts around a little this week and try something different. i’m still doing a 4 day per week upper/lower split, but i’m doing biceps and triceps MWF to up the frequency a bit. wednesday is exclusively arms, so i can really pile on some volume. i feel like i’m recovering well, i just need to move some lifts around to different days to account for my triceps being a little fatigued still

I've been dieting and somehow managed to gain 6 lbs over the three days I spent with family. water weight, mostly, I think.

Makes sense, how do you feel?

I’m happy with my weight (around 185 at the moment), but I want more strength and less fat. I need to start cooking high protein meals and stop eating garbage

I’m also at 185 and 5’10”. I like some of the muscle definition I’m seeing in the mirror but still have too much midsection fat at the moment. I’d like to maintain 170 or so if that looks good.

Buying portioned lunches from a place near by has been helpful as I’m not big into cooking.
