How do you plan on verifying that one pound isn't water or fat?

I don't care if its water, fat, fakelbm, Elven Gains, or Xmas magic. I am doing a slow, controlled "bulk" to 175. So I should be around there by EOY. Gainz to follow.

10/10
Squat speed
195x3x10

EMOtM.

Chins
+90x3x3

Still wearing squat shoes, so that should prob be notated as +105 right?

Bench wide paused
245x3x3

CGBP speed
215x3x10

EMOtM.

These squat and bench speed numbers seem dumb and reversed to me. Should be doing 225 on squat. Will fix next time. Whatever. This was all pretty easy.

Anyway, hello weekend. What donut will you give me this time? Thinking apple fritters.

There is another kind of doughnut?

I mean besides maple bars. Maple bars are Gods way of telling you to not be late to work meetings, otherwise you are stuck with it since it is the only thing left.

Skwats
275x8x3
275x7 (+f)
275x5
225x10

Sickening. Failed last rep of fourth set. Called the fifth set at five reps, felt nauseous. 225 for redemption. Going to pass out now.

Were those squats, deadlifts or bench? I think your numbers are about the same for all 3 so I dunno.

10/14
Bench
235x8x4
225x8

Last 235 set was max effort hard.

Got an insane pec pump right now.

Curls
40sx8
35s10x2

In other news, there are only two good bars left in the gym. The rest are bent to hell thanks to idiot rack pulls and a general lack of elf magic.

Dude if you bulk to weasel/Cha/bpa status, you might honestly hit 405.

But I don't think I like this from an aesthetic standpoint since your lower pecs are already overdeveloped. MOAR incline.

I don't like the thought of the GGGE bulking to 200+ and think he would look more like a bald and non-bearded Bombur than a strong elf.

IDK, I thought I looked okay as a DYEL pushing 190.

Spoiler:

Obv fat elf doesn't compare to ripped elf, but we shouldn't rule out an auramegabulk just yet. Waistline would probably expand as fast as my gainz, but those WRs...

ETA: Thanks for the compliments loco and skel!

Loco referenced cha, bpa, and The Weaz. IIRC all 3 are in the 230-240 range, so you would be adding 40-50 lb to that 190 pic and 60-70 lb to your current weight. I stand by my Bombur reference.

Well you said 200+. Obv if we are talking 230+ then we are looking at game changing weight. No abs anywhere in sight. Donotwant but dowant PRs

I think it was something like 18 months ago, when I first came to H&F. loco told me I was fat. Thus began my mega-cut to 160.

That's why he cannot return. Overdeveloped lowerpecs + genetic distribution to accumulate bodyfat in the chest area = droopy pecs. Fatbusto gets jumped in the ghetto parts of A-town and gets his titties sucked on by black dudes.

I have to be lean4lyfe cuz of my belly. Fakeb because of his chest. Beats but we move on.

To me it looks like most of his fat was evenly distributed around his waist

I mean that too. He did a good job of killing the love handles. I remember we use to pick on him for that. Probably got lipo. I have started doing research on how to get rid of my cottage cheesey bellyfat. One option is to cut to 149. The other option is to get cut and get it vacuumed out. Other option is var + t3.

Last week I did bench 225x10x3 and it was pretty hard. I am curious if 235x8x3 us harder or easier. I really have no idea. Will have to try it next bench workout and report. Regardless, good job.

Those were dark days. I ate nothing but heavily cheesed omelets, protein shakes, and peanut butter. And they say keto keeps you lean. Not this guy.

Thinking I will bring back incline on speed bench day.

Leg DOMS peaked last night. Finally feel better today. Just in time for DLs.

I have been feeling a little down lately. But then I read back over my log and found gems like this one.

Bring back the LOCOmotive. His enthusiasm and trolls were unparalleled. Now he is mostly sad. We should petition anklebreaker to give brother loco LOCOmotive as as undertitle. Get him back on track.
