PSA about dieting: 265@25% -> 205@10% at 6'5". rough estimates but you really do get a lot smaller than you think. also explains how bulking is kind of dumb for a natural but then again I'm sort of glad I did it, if that makes sense. strength levels maintained which is nice.

i think he means getting up over 15-20%, which is advice I hear touted a lot.

I had some lifting #s I wanted to hit so I ate a lot and lifted until I hit them. I started around 215 high teens bf%. It took a few years and I got to 265 and 315x3 bench, 405x5 sq and 555 dl, 290x5 pullups, then was like ****, I feel sloppy, I can't stop sweating, and my blood pressure is too high.

for dieting I ate ~3000kcal and 200g protein usually IF style, which I recommend for ease of compliance low fuss, and I wasn't too strict. It took me about a year and a half with some months off here and there.

don't understand cali's love affair with tri tip

[cobrastatus]

kc, you remind me of that south park episode where stan thinks everything is turning to ****

tell us, what do you actually like?

haha

[kidcolin]

i mean, tri tip is fine. it's quite good. it was just like, when I got to cali i just saw it everywhere and was like "oh so it's beef? kthnx".

i like squats, boobs, and burgers. and murder mystery novels. bout sums it up.

The Nero Wolfe books by Rex Stout are probably my favorite. They seem repetitive, but it doesn't matter. They're so awesome. I think I still have a couple to go before finishing them all. Order doesn't matter except for apparently the last one should be read last, which I haven't read yet.

All the Leaphorn and Chee books by Tony Hillerman. I haven't read all of these yet but I'm close. Dude is a fantastic writer. These are up there as well for me.

Just read Dashiell Hammett's 5 novels (red harvest, the dain curse, the maltese falcon, the glass key, and the thin man). I think dude is overrated. The Dain Curse and The Thin Man were my favorites out of this.

That's about it. I'll eventually read Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, etc etc. My mom has most of the stuff.

I guess you could call the girl with the dragon tattoo books murder mysteries, and those are also incredible.
