Re: The Fitness Thread
Man, it makes no sense that Jay beat Ramy.
Literally everything (save maybe calves) is superior.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I was slowly realizing that I've been slacking. Slacking too much to make progress. My weight hasn't moved in months and I'm finally starting to feel it. I've had comments that I'm looking smaller even. Pushing diet into serious mode now. Counting more accurately. Prepping food days before, eating as soon as I wake up, and eating more frequently throughout the day to get what I need in.
Here's day 1 of hopefully the rest of my lifting career.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I see you've started taking creatine again. Is that to help get bigger?Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
Chris, your progress is some of the most enviable natural progress I've ever seen. In just a year and a half you've surpassed my lifts (and I'm a cm under 6'0", so I should have a default strength advantage) and you got to where Reach was in two years lift-wise (who is also about where I am height-wise).
If you're "slacking" then I don't even know what that makes other people here.Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
Not necessarily to get "bigger" but to give me that little edge on my 5/3/1 weeks. I think it may benefit in setting PR's.
I really do appreciate the compliments on my lifts and just overall progress. My numbers definitely aren't bad, but I'm striving to make them higher. I think in terms of anything, I feel if I'm dedicating myself to something, I don't need to be absorbed by it, but I feel as though if I'm not making progress then there's not much reason to keep doing it. I strive to grow stronger physically and mentally, and letting myself slack for the sake of a little extra time to literally do nothing with my time, I could take an hour a day to make sure my progress doesn't halt.
If at any point I feel that the workload isn't worth the reward, I will take it slower but at this point in my life I don't really do much. I'm pretty introverted and I'm straight edge. My friends are all gone to university, so I'm taking this winter and making a goal to get some GAIIIIINZ. Especially if I'm already spending all this money on food, I might as well make use of it.Comment

This won me over onto the Kai side. It was weird, Jay came out looking SICK, but then when they came back out for the pose down, he suddenly went watery. Dont understand that shit at all.Last edited by Senip; 10-10-2013, 05:49 PM.Comment

Dennis Wolf has hair, the others shave because the amount of gear they're on caused balding.
Going to start posting my daily macros on here. If people like seeing it, I'll continue doing it. It's to give people kind of an idea of what to possibly implement into their diet to help them get their macros in.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I am in this dilemma a lot because of the Sunday-Monday transition at my gym (Sunday has terrible hours, Monday opens at 12AM) so I'd like to know which is preferable
Scenario A: Lift and get shitty sleep (3-6 hours)
Scenario B: Don't lift, get OK sleep (7-8 hours) and lift the next day
The easy answer is to say "get good sleep and lift", but that's because it's the easy answer. I'm wondering which out of these two is better for gains and why.
Note that I have the option of sleeping extra (say, 10 hours) from Tuesday night --> Wednesday morning, so recovering isn't an issue.Last edited by Arch0wl; 10-14-2013, 12:30 AM.Comment

Re: The Fitness Thread
Sleeping is more anabolic than not sleeping. Always go for more sleep.Last edited by SCWolf; 10-14-2013, 01:00 AM.Comment
