Fat grips help build forearms, so fat bar helps build shoulders. Why else would people even do it?

The famous spreadsheet diet got me eating 8 cups of vegetables a day. I'm far from a green-free goonlord, but believe me when I say my guts went through some changes that first week.

I finished my cut months ago and it's summer so i dont want to bulk yet (want to look good wtihout a shirt :grin:) and it feels strange to just eat at maintenance. Feels like I'm not moving in any one direction and just treading water :negative:

Two or three months of good maintenance after a cut are enough to get you physically and psychologically settled in at your new weight.

If you aren't at 12% bf yet and you'd like to start cutting again, you have this shrinking idiot's permission.

Setting a new PR for gym idiocy, today I only realized the left j-cup was one notch higher than the right after all five of my planned bench press sets.

I'm definitely feeling the difference now in my own j-cups, if you follow!

If you aren't rich enough for crossfit and you don't have any friends who would want to help you stay accountable and be healthy and strong, then focus on fixing one or both of those.

Some (weird) people enjoy and benefit from exercising in groups. If you can stay consistent without external accountability, then by all means buy bigger headphones and continue your monk-like quest towards hugeitude.

You can buy anti-fart pills OTC. "Beano" is a brand I remember.

I asked my doctor about psychological effects, and he said that, at least at the levels you get from TRT, it doesn't increase libido so much as it increases confidence. So you're roughly as horny as you've always been, but a fair bit less inhibited from doing something about it.

I've only been on it six days, but the only effect I've noticed so far is my face is oily every morning. Gonna have to start having an American-Psycho-esque cleansing routine.

As far as confidence, eh, I managed okay before with only the output of my weak and defective balls, we'll see what happens.

You Have To Work Out To Get a Workout posted:

Sure, working out can be boring. It can be mindless, and repetitive. Have you seen that Planet Fitness ad, where the big dumb goon says "I lift things up and put them down," over and over, like a big dumb goon? Ha, what a big dumb goon, right? What a mindless, repetitive, boring, lifestyle he has. He just lifts things up and puts them down. What an uncreative, inside-the box workout program he has, that big dumb goon. Just lifting, and putting down. Over and over again.

GUESS WHAT THAT'S WHY HE'S A loving MONSTER.

The safe answer is that reps only count if they're done with perfect form, and that you should stop when you "miss" one.

That article is the fitness version of the ones mega-bouge write when they're triggered by Earth Hour.

What’s up with all these gym bros being crazy pro-military and reactionary. Wendler, Rippetoe, etc always talking about some dumb bullshit about a man has to be this or that and skinny jeans are not manly. My gym even has marine flags waving around. Why can’t they chill out.

I think it depends where you are and who they are. Some of them are ornery old men from East Texas.

I remember watching a bench press form video by I think Mark Bell, and at the end there was a bonus thing where he was saying "Yeah 'everything's fine,' or what...what's that retarded poo poo people say nowadays? I hate that poo poo."

"It's all good" was the phrase he was looking for.

I love the RP templates as every workout leaves me a trembling aching mess, but it also kind of sucks to go "was that really 3/fail? Too hard? Too easy? TELL ME THE TRUTH DAMMIT!" after like every set. Oh well, shut up, eat, sleep, lift, and so on and so forth

I also enjoy debating whether to rate an exercise as a 1 or 0.

"Well, was I sore and tight, or just tight? And was the tightness really from the last time I worked this muscle, or just from general Old Man syndrome?"

I am likely one of those as I typically only sleep about five and a half hours in an evening and I recover well and always feel alert and fresh if I sleep more than that I end up getting lethargic

I also poop too much
