Your bitch of a partner is simultaneously stealing your gainz and making you fatter

should have told him there'd be Disney movies and ice cream at the end. would have kept him around imo.

Well he did squat almost as much as I did after essentially not squatting for 3 months, albeit with terrible form (folded over by the bar, knees in, not to depth); after he was done with his first set he looks over at me and is like "Not bad for the first time back, right?" I'd have tried to correct him on stuff even a year ago, but he never listens to anything I say so I just gave him the verbal fakebusto fist bump and moved on.

He really is kind of a gash about this stuff; I'm relatively certain he's probably gained 10 pounds this year, and considering we started out the year 30 pounds apart and I know weigh at least 10 pounds less while being 8 inches taller, he's not really in a good spot.

I really like that restaurant in Miami. Their chocolate lava cake thing topped with ice cream is delicious but may or may not be terrific for hitting 185 any time soon.

Your workout pal really is something special.

Ab wheel is probably the best $5 workout related investment I've ever made.

Of course; the wife is getting the salad, salmon, and cookies and milk and we'll pass it around.

Will confirmed have had only 700 calories before dinner tonight, plenty of room imo

Have fun! Don't go crazy on the nomzies, though, bro.
185, then cut, right?

It's frustrating to read about your gym partner.

Confirmed on all counts, I'm going to try to limit myself on the dessert. I don't think half a salad, half a serving of oysters, and some fish is really going to destroy the ol diet, but we'll see.



And it's even more frustrating to live it, but whatever. Hearing how rustled his jimmies are about how much harder it is for him to lose weight than me because I'm younger/kids not older/don't travel as much/have a larger dong is mildly nourishing to my soul at least.

So I got a nice present when I got home from dinner today -- the ab wheel came! So I'll be adding that in tonight.

The portions on the Restaurant Week menu were pretty small, I'd be surprised if I had more than 6 oz of fish; we upgraded to the seafood chopped salad (pro move), had some clams, and the cookies and milk and sticky toffee pudding. All told, I estimated it at 1100 calories, which may have been slightly high, but whatever, so 18xx for the day. Good deal.

Weight this morning: 186.8

Cut confirmed over; wife started yelling at me saying I was too skinny and that she could feel my hip bones during the sexy time, so this is going to have to be it. Weighed in at 188.8 last night after a full day of eating and whatnot, with a mean Omron of 8.3. Should have some nudes tonight after I get home; they're not quite CB level uninspiring, but they're not to Syndrom level either.

Plan now is to ramp slowly up to maintenance over a few weeks and then slow bulk for the next 6-8 months; I'm surprised it took her this long, honestly.

U should tape measure your arms/legs, I'm curious

See you in prville, bro.

Bye bye, abs. Hello strempth.

Alright, here's the official end of the cut. Weight this morning: 186.6; weight now: 190.2. BF as per the Omron: 8.6%, so who the hell knows what that actual means. Had about 2500 calories today, with only 200 g protein, so many more carbs than I'm used to, and I feel a fair bit better -- not as irritable.

This was from whenever it was I posted my last nood (pretty sure this was a morning weight of a bit under 200, not positive though):



Now here are two probably crappy photos from just now:

oh lawdy. you's a sexy beast now!

wtg Monty!!

Thanks!

lol

legit didn't notice and wasn't trying to pull a CB; luckily there are posters such as yourself that focus on the crotch with laser like efficiency in photos like this

BF estimates from the evaluators would be welcome

U ript bro.

Time to gain some muscle, skeletor brah.

Syndr0m must have the best pect genetics ever, no use comparing yourself to him. He and jdock must be on the opposite ends of the scale, with you somewhere in the middle.

:chathumb:


Nice, that's nice. Solid move not including legs in pics. Hmm, maybe you're closer to jdock on the pect genetics scale though :/

yeah Syndrome lifts jelly and looks like he lifts all of the weights.

Monte actually benches a lot and doesn't look like he benches. cruel world.

Looking good bro. Do some squats. The mystery of why I weigh more than you has officially been solved

Well he's got a decent bench (250ish 1RM or so?), so it's not completely unfathomable. Still, it def goes to show the ginormous difference in genetics.

SS + GOMAD imo
