impromptu cape cod trip with a friend. i could definitely get used to eating an entire meal every 2-3 hours. salmon stuffed crab stuffed in a salmon in a crab shell x1000

You know what eggs benedict has always been missing? A crabcake underneath it.

(opposite is lobster eggs benedict. lolbster is more like it.

Don't worry, that's not sherbert, it's a palate cleanser and the glass is made of ice. Clean eating.

No cardio, just didn't have it in me. Skipped ab/adductor stuff, I have this weird limp in the top of my hip. It doesn't hurt and I don't feel it but I noticed I can't really walk right. Been like this for about 10 days now
BW: 194.0 +2lbs and I do not expect to see much weight shed off from salt and whatever else this time around. I ate a ****ing LOT of food during that trip. I regret nothing.

OH MY GOD LOOK AT ME CLEAN THE **** OUT OF THESE CARS

I'll show some stuff I've been up to this spring


Yikes! That dirt and grease was so heavy it made the leather look much glossier than it really is.


I got the before and after backwards, long day.


Dang, look at all those swirlies in the hood!



Well that's better


This was even worse!

Previous owner decided to scrape bugs off with a stainless steel pad?



Ah, that's better




I took this hood out of a junkyard!


Some areas area tough to get to


So let's just do it by hand


Black cars make the difference very obvious

Things I want to learn

-Leather repair
-Wheel refurb
-Touching up paint chips

diet feelings wim and everything besides bw is in the gutter
took a week off the ephedrine just to see if i'd miss it, fear of addiction. definitely no problems but wow is it effective. even after all this time, i was fine on 2 meals a day without really trying at ALL and 50mg ephedrine. off the stuff I'm on 4 meals of the same food and wanting to snack in between.

go back to your buzzfeed homeboy

I've had free passes to a gym for months now and remembered to use them for the first time today.

I walk in and WTF. There's this huge UFC octagon in the middle. In the cage there is all this mystery equipment.


Does anyone know what any of this stuff is used for?

Moving on I see a room with no people in it and numbers all over the place.

The floor and walls light up at random times. My guess is this is some kind of Twister sex dungeon???

Another room with more mystery equipment but also some stuff that definitely looks cool

-Ropes in the foreground, SICK. I want my workouts to be loud.
- A (the) place to squat in the very back unless you don't need safetys.
-deadlift platforms, some random box thing on the right
-monkey bars, kettleballs, and a punching bag
-nonsensical phrase on the wall
-TIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


A quick glance to my right reveals things that, again, look almost like gym equipment

-horizontal prison bars?
-Barbells fixed on one end
-Mystery bars with a pair of pants hanging from them

This looked sweet

There's a rope in front of it that says "do not cross" wtf? Doesn't matter, no way I'm using something like this while people can see me, and if people can't see me, then a rule can't be broken.


SAND BAGS. For: ????


CORE BAGS AND NECK PILLOWS FOR GIANTS. Please do not slam this bag. Again

This cardio thing that is surely designed to make the user look like an ass

Even my camera wouldn't take a clear picture of it. WTF is that thing??????


Welcome to the Matrix, this treadmill has more buttons than the gym has cages (28 vs 1)
PRO TIP: Keep the TV off and stare at the screen's reflection to check out the girl's whale tail behind you.


All the machines use phantom measurement system. I like this, because the machine's doing all the work anyways, and now nobody can say "oh yeah I bench 365 too I just do it on the machine" Machines are for pussies, and the highest weight we deserve to say is "eighteen"

No need to pull out the phone any more to time rest, and no need to count anymore

This is actually legit awesome



Another mystery machine. Tried doing curls in it and tore a bicep.


The elusive C2 rower. sickkkkk

Gym is $10/month but if I want all that mystery equipment, punching pad machine, 3 tires, C2 Rowers, and even elastic bands(LOL) it's $40/month.
$20/month gets me all the bro and cardio stuff but also unlimited tanning and some hydro massage that felt like sitting in front of a jacuzzi jet for too long. Yeah, no thanks.

Locker room is legit and I christened the gym by puking for the first time in ages in the toilet. No lid above the seat to rest in between puke waves is a big minus though
The weights are these weird frisbee disc things and the 10s and 5s are inexplicably red. Bars are definitely cheap.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight Workout time
BW 194.0

-Incline Bench(paused): 1x5x205 4x5x185. I almost failed to lockout 205 on 2 reps but then 185 felt super light. :shrug:
-Mobility CrossWOD plyo static clean eating flexibility K Starr all starr stretching

TIRE FLIPS: 8x132 2x8x172 8x132. Oh my god this was fun and brutal. My legs were cramping and shaking uncontrollably and my chest was burning like I just did some actual exercise.

-Tricep Machine thing: 2x10x"9" uh oh, not sure if I'm gonna make it. Okay, now I'm sure I'm not going to make it
PUKE. puke in the sink. recover. puke in the toilet for a good five minutes. CHEERLEADER DIET

-Neo Matrix cardio. 30 minutes between 3 and 3.7mph.

-Some low back reverse crunch machine. I tried to see if I could do this without hurting my back and I did fine. Erectors above the lower back are pretty pumped but it feels good. I'm a little stiff now but it's probably more from tire flippin than anything else

-Chest Press machine: 2x8x"8"


overall, good. No sauna is a big issue at $40/month. The gym offers what I'm guessing is a lot of the crossfit equipment at 1/3 the price. I have a few more free sessions so I'll feel it out. Honestly the tires are probably enough to sway me, that was so much goddamn fun. Showers and bathroom are a little nicer, and that weird mystery room in 1st picture is included in $10/month. I have no idea what 30% of the equipment in this gym does though.

That gym is ridiculous. Did you travel to the future on accident?

I hope so, because I was bigger than any other two people in there combined and there were quite a few girls and all of them were hot. miss u bae

forgot I did pec flies at the end until I started feeling tired. probably 40 light reps, just wanted to see if I could do them without hurting myself since I've been doing a good amount of mobility stuff

Survey says:

definitely a little more lukewarm on this gym today. I walked in and there were four separate classes going on.

1 A woman's fitness thing where they decided to let the doors open so everyone, and I mean everyone, could hear the music and the requisite "come on girls you can do it!" from the instructor/dance coordinator. What a great job that has to be. Exercise + yell = trainer

2 that middle cage thing that you guys said was a BW cage. wow. watching zumba is embarassing enough but this was filled with guys under 40. have some self respect jesus christ. Woman running it apparently has to tap in to the entire loudspeaker system for the entire gym so all six trainees can hear her. Seriously, full volume, everywhere in the gym, everyone is listening to a woman yell commands for people we can't see. WTF

3 The fake Crossfit section had a class going on. And they didn't even use any of the mystery equipment so I could figure out what it's for. No tire flips and so much for doing standing OHP. Also, there's no excuse for a gym packed with what has to be at least $50,000 worth of equipment that has never helped anyone accomplish anything ever to not have a single ab wheel. there is a sled though which is legit as ****

4 A spin class upstairs, couldn't see or hear them but when they left damn that place was ****ing packed.

I tried the GHR, this didn't feel good at all. machine > ghr
All of the girls are very hot and I am the tallest and biggest guy I've seen in the gym so far. Probably the closest I'll ever get to the Playboy mansion.

Seated calf raises 3x10x195. legs still fried and this made my calves go crazy with spasms. whoops

Press Machine: 5x5x150. 90 second rests, way too easy.
Delt Machine: 3x12x"8"
cardio 10 minutes 4 mph
low back work
rollin & stretchin
BW 192.0
pec deck machines can't be adjusted to do rear delts.

>tfw kpewz blows away your OHP numbers
>**** this gay earth

machines don't count, this log is such a joke now.

could probably OHP 5x5x150 and 90 second rests without issues though so yeah you're right you do suck

gym was alright today. will probably make the switch

BW 196.0 haven't gone to the bathroom or used a sauna in 6 days. not sure wtf is wrong with me
90 second rests unless otherwise indicated
Cable Pullups: 5x5x235
Face Pulls 3x10x73
Curls 25s: 10, 10, 8
Row Machine: 3x8x150, 1x8x120
Cardio: 10 minutes 3.5 mph
Light mobility stuff
Tire Flips: 2x8x135
Sleddin: idk, not much. this was really fun and had a lot less friction than I expected to. Way more rewarding than I assumed.

Been sub 190 for a while now but not impressed. Figured I'd wait until 185 but been wheelspinning at 187-188. This past weekend was nothing but fudge, pulled pork, cinnamon buns, Blue Moon, and crabcakes, and I've got no pump here either.



Last one is for Evoken.

Workout today:

buncha reps for a few sets with a bit of weight and a brief rest in between. worked legs, with no back pain! and then some shoulder work and followed up with some light cardio for some amount of minutes.

^^ also for evo

Yes! The king is back!

A while back with the dizziness I decided to WIM and jump on the treadmill the second I felt dizzy and just walk until it went away. This was so effective I ended up doing a set, sitting, getting dizzy, walking to the treadmill, walking for 3 minutes (3 mph) and then doing another set.

It felt incredible, like steroids or when Popeye ate spinach. Just immediately took all the bad away and I could go back and do another set with no issue. I toyed around with this and tweaked a few things and I basically ended up at the point where I was a GGO who would lift-sit-run-repeat all the time.

Naturally I did this for weeks before Googling anything but after doing some research it looks like I have something called orthostatic hypotension or something similar to it. Stems from low blood pressure, which I remember seeing despite being a fat a while back.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/47...on-exercising/

Turns out it also has to do with postural changes, which explains why it would hit me so much harder after I sit. Symptoms line up pretty well. Kinda busy and didn't get too much info WRT treatment so that'll have to wait a few days but at least I know WTF is going on.

if only there was some sort of drug out there that could raise my blood pressure, maybe while increasing my ability to pack on LBM. oh well.

this seems.... slow

just about everything I eat has a barcode on it or comes from a place with a menu that lists calories so most of this is very accurate.

you getting ready for a bikini show?

14lbs in 4 weeks. Doesn't seem slow to me?

I didn't start counting calories again until the 2nd.

In that case... Maybe your fat is prescient
