New year, new haircut, new aesthetic. I usually sit around 220-230, but I've decided to go for a leaner, more aesthetic look for 2018.



I find that when I get too big - my dominant body parts like my back, my Glutes, and my shoulders get way out of proportion, and it's just not fun to have to isolate groups of muscles that I'm not really stoked to train that day.

So I want to try and stay as close to fat free as I can get, and work on keeping size with consistency. It's going to be a fun year.

I only have one light in that room. On the ceiling. So, not a lot of alternatives to choose from. 2 seconds maybe?

Cheers. The only leg shots I have of me are in boxer-briefs, so I'll have to edit them, as not to be NWS lol. I train legs on Thursday so I'll definitely get some then.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

ANYWAYS my loving iron monger gym just went and closed up shop. They were closed for two weeks for renovations and then decided "yup we're not re-opening cya"

I miss my platforms and my squat racks.

My old gym suddenly closed for "renovations" that turned out to be the property manager evicting the gym owner because he was like a year behind on rent and in a lawsuit with them but also he forgot to collect membership dues from like half the members for 6 or more months probably and he listed all of the gym equipment including stuff he didn't even own for sale on craigslist while trying to hide the fact that he was in massive amounts of debt

Speaking of which you should definitely check if your gym owner is selling any equipment so you can get it for cheap

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Oh well, Jeremy Hamilton is opening a new gym near me in a few weeks, I'm gonna go sign up there for a few months to clang+bang.

They could always use more size; everyone wants bigger legs. I'm workin squats like the rest of us.

Started a Fitness Log to take this out of GBS - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3846692


This gym opened up down the street from me; suspiciously directly across the street from my Gold's Gym.

What do you guys think? The vid's they have posted kind of say it all.

I'm not sure if I will like this place, or hate this place?

I feel like there's a bit too much negative space in your lower right abdomen, I can't not see it

Thought I'd be more not-broken almost 4 months out from a lower back spasm and 2 months out from a grade 2 sprained ankle.

But here I am with a tight back from benching and limping from trying out jogging 1/4 mi after finishing arms.

gently caress getting old.

I know the pain. Had to quit rugby last year after tearing my ankle, again...and my rotator cuff, again.

But the wicked bad concussion from a head to head hit was what really put me away for good. gently caress that noise.

Yeah I was a forward, doing a line crash and one of my own teammates tried bull-rushing and crossing ahead of me. Put his head down and smashed his forehead into my jaw at maximum speed. I don't remember the 2 days before that.

Tried going back after a month, did one tackle and thought I was gonna hurl. I quit that same day. Still need an MRI but socialized medicine, long wait times, y'know.

Maybe I'll drop 15lbs some day. Probably not. I like food.

Yuppie gym inexplicably allows squatting in socks. Tried it tonight. Broke back through 110kg for 5x5, feeling it in the best way.

I'm never going back.

I like to deadlift in socks. Hadn't tried squats yet. Still not sure how I feel about my powerlifts with a narrow stance low bar squat. They definitely feel better than my regular tennis shoes.

when your shoulders settle in the right place and your head is punched through and your arms are fully extended it's an almost zenlike equilibrium. and then you slowly descend and slowly ascend, perfectly controlled, and then do it 10 more times. it's magical

and of course it's an important step to getting to your max snatch
