My Training Journal

Just be sure you're training for yourself, not everyone else. This shit is ridiculous. Find yourself a little woman and then you won't have to stress so much over that bullshit lol. You'll always be your own worst critic anyways.

agreed with ghetto/rr..... i'm not the best lookin dude- not an ugly fuck, but i get more girls than my best friend here who gets approached by girls sometimes since he isn't as confident. Be comfortable in your own shoes with or without muscles and you'll be fine.

Dude, competing at 165 would be sick. I bet there is no way you even fathomed contemplating something like this 4-5 months ago. Your progress has been insane bro

I have to admit that was a pretty fucking faggy post EM.

Jesus, chill the fuck out, eat decently, focus on getting stronger and in time things will work out.

Carb loading/depleting, water deprivation for a tight t-shirt? And at your age? Skipping 3 parties for a fucking diet?

I'm not sure if you correlate how fit you appear to have serious bearing on whether girls will find you attractive, but I can tell you legit confidence trumps all. I've known too many average and even quite a few ugly fucks with fine girls.

Personally I'd go insane trying to do all this carb load/delaod crap. It's really not necessary on a diet. Also keep in mind you can factor in 1-2 beers on a party day. Keep things moderate. You don't need to get shit faced. Puff a joint once and drink a beer or 2 and you're good.

Feel me?

LOL. What are you hoping I say to that? "oh sorry mr studmuffin I shouldn't worry about the way I look just because you don't please forgive me and I won't do it again"

I'm enjoying cutting. And I enjoy manipulating my diet to manipulate the way I look. I felt proud of myself that my little "party prep" was successful and I will do it again next time. Just because you don't have the dedication to carb cycle and carb load, and it would drive you crazy or whatever you said doesn't mean I am not willing to put the effort into doing it.

Btw my friend who has guided me through this whole process only told me about the prep because he didn't realise I would be drinking alcohol. Afterwards he said it was a bad idea if I was planning to drink.

I didn't do all that "just for a tight t-shirt" either I just meansioned I can wear tighter clothes now I am leaner.

I have lost 30lbs and I plan to keep on going no matter what you guys say. I want to be lean for once in my life but that just doesn't seem to go down well with you for whatever reason.

Well I got to say you've done a great job em, but c'mon from here that does sound kind of gay you gotta admit the whole prepping so you can wear a tighter shirt to a party and all I understand your motives it just didnt sound great

oh and jdid everyone knows you are an ugly fuck

 

[ExtraMile]

Lol I already said I didn't do it for a tight shirt. I just wore a shirt that was tighter[/] than what I usually wear when I was so fat lol. Besides it worked, like I said I got alot of comments and people kept feeling my muscles.

[ExtraMile]

hows ur strength now compared to before you cut?

Before cut:
bench 242x1
squat 253x3 parallel
deadlift 314x3

now
bench 187x6-7
deadlift 286x2
squat 198x6x6 ATG

hit some pr's while cutting that I couldn't even do before I started cutting but only a few, pullovers, squats and calf raises have made progress but not much else has. Obv I can do more chins but only because I'm lighter. Hit an all time PR on seated db press on Monday though: 61's x 4 reps. I also Hit some leg curl PR's in the first month or so of cutting and got up to 100x9 but been stuck around there ever since...
