Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Damn yea I remember u are like 135lbs

3200 calories

I should have done my googles more studiously

that iifym calc said working out FIVE times a week a good clip my maintence is like 2kish

shyt blew my mind. welp, at least this spurred me to adhere to that whole perfect diet thing. I used to just say I got protein in i'm good

now i'm measuring carbs, fiber, fat, the works.

i'm forsee a good increase in gains with a perfect diet

2200 aint no bulking calories. You aint gonna gain shyt on that even at 135 lbs

You were just cutting on that a couple months ago, bruh

Real world experience >>>>> calculators

You got fat at 3200 because thats what happens when people bulk, they get fat.

Something aint right with a calculator that says 2200.

this isn't accurate either? is the whole world a lie?

i'm over bulking. my whole identity is being the ripped nikka, i felt like a shell of myself with a slight gut.

i'm honestly more like 125-130 tbh

life has been majorly in the way but slowly i'm getting back on my training stee. moved into new house mid dec, was in cali for a week and half thru new years, came back and got slammed w flu and was out of commission for a full 10 days. finally back on track w weights last week. going back to pulmonologist tmrw for follow up beathing tests. the flu destroyed my lungs, may have even developed asthma. hoping it's just temporary but my last few cardio sessions have been pretty awful. turned 35 today and i feel every of day it, but doing my best to get back at it. 2 kids, commuting, a house i didn't anticipate maintaining thru this sh!tty winter, all doing their best to keep me out of gym though lol.

how you doing homie? you check out any of those zeppelin tunes?

Jogged 4 miles and worked on bicep.
I worked on 30 lbs dumbbell curls for 10 reps so that felt good.

Signed up for my marathon today. $108.25 (8.25 "processing fee"). No turning back now! I'm having surgery on the 20th of this month and I'm hoping recovery time is fairly short, according to my doctor it is so I can start training seriously in March. My friend suggested I focus on eating and weight training for the duration of this month and pick up the running in March so I'm going to do that. Plus by March it shouldn't be as cold and I can be more consistent in getting my miles up.

Don't even care that it looks like a good morning, got it up

 

[unit321]

I jogged another 4 miles straight yesterday at a little bit faster pace. I hate not having heavy upper body days anymore. It ain't the lyfe.

Hoes be wearing yoga pants with mesmerizing patterns. Used to be just plain black or solid color. Now they got stripes and stuff.

I'm heavier than I have been in at least 2 years (intentionally, not by accident)

Said I was done bulk/cut cycling but fukk it did it anyway

In my most recent leanest state I was 158, past bulking cycles I have quit once I got up to around 167 because I felt i was getting too fat (I hate losing abs). Today I'm up to 169 and not even panicking yet. So I think I did a better job putting on actual muscle this time instead of just fat.

Didn't do much different other than I only used bulking calories on my lifting days, then used maintenance calories on my non-lifting days. In the past I used bulking calories every day.


EDIT: Oh wait, I DID do something else different this time. I bumped up my reps from 5 average to 8-10 average on compound movements.
