163.6 lbs

- I failed Today. Didn't puke but almost passed out from heat exhaustion. Calling that close to a win.
- passed out when I got home after taking a shower. I'm so exhausted. Lack of energy everyday now for the last 2 weeks. Dunno what is going on with my body. Intaking like 3k calories a day and doing no cardio. Something is up.

eat some moar!

u are probably not even in a surplus with 3.1k cals. 2.5k cals for me to maintain, and you're bigger than me and also move around a lot more with your day job.

pm for dirty bulk coaching.

Physique update:

With the exception of this morning, I've been at 165 for the past week. Total of ~4 lbs in 10 weeks. Goal is to gain .50-.75 lbs on average until I hit 185 or so. Problem is that I'm feeling fat already, sigh. Eating close to 400g carbs per day and only 165 lbs lol. Getting a lot stronger though, that feels good at least.

- Already up to 167 lbs, getting up there in weight. Going to sit at same macros for a while I think, at least another week. Trying to extend this surplus as long as possible. Goal is to keep getting stronger.
- My weight belt was stolen so been doing light deadlifts until I save up some money and get a good one. Prob will save 100-125 bucks for a new one.
- About 80-90 lbs Increase since last time I did Romanian DLs. Getting stronger.

- Weight is around 166/167 and feeling pretty good about it. I think I look a lot more full. Very slow surplus is going very well imo.
