DYELB: The Gainz Train
Man talking about that prep has me looking at pics from the show and weeks after the show where my body was just soaking up everything I threw at it. Will be awesome to have these pictures to look back on when I’m old(er).. Don’t think I’d ever noticed this one before of me setting up for a back dou...

:word: that part can be a little uncomfortable at times, but you learn to enjoy it. Swapping some of your meats for leaner cuts will help bump protein up while bringing fat and total calories down. The extra protein will keep you feeling full longer. Potatoes are also great for keeping that more fu...

after doing keto that one time for awhile, i dont need carbs and would be happy without them. That being said, I do enjoy them in moderation. I typically am vv low or no carb during the week and just kinda do whatever on the weekend. I think this is a great approach. Restrict them during the week, ...

General Economic chit chat/updates.
Our due date is around 12/12. I'm thinking since that time of year is sort of dead anyway, I'll just 'work remote' for the first few weeks and take the paternity leave in January. That should at least keep me from having to travel and leave :tits: + :baby: alone for 10ish weeks total. September - D...

Nice dude! I too prefer to get super lean before trying to build. You’ll be more sensitive to insulin and your body will naturally shuttle more nutrients to your muscles rather than sending them to your fat stores. Yea. Just fucking hungry all the time now. :word: that part can be a little uncomfor...

I was 199 before I went to folly beach for a boys trip. When I got back Sunday I was 209. Mostly beer weight. I decided I wanted to go on a cut hardcore to meet my goal of 180 by July 4th. Been hitting the cardio, not tracking calories, but cutting down on my portions. I’ve decided to go to a lift,...

:word: luckily I wouldn’t have to worry either way about coming back to a different job. The spending time with kid/family is in part what’s making me want to split the time up. 12 weeks all at once is nice, but I love the idea of taking 4 weeks, then when she’s 6 months old taking another 4 weeks ...

:notwrong: I do think it’ll be a little different being with the .gov though. A guy on our team is out on paternity leave right now. I’ll see what his thoughts are when he gets back. I think he split it up some iirc Yea just letting you know. Others in my org took the whole chunk and let their supe...

Damn. Yeah my buddy who works for Northrop is on week 3 of his leave and is already being pressured to return because the slack isn’t being carried by his team. He gets 8 weeks and will likely only be able to take 4 of them. My plan is to use 4 weeks up front, and supplement that with a week or 2 o...

Got my next little step raise at work. Just over $3k added to my salary. Decent. What I’m excited for though is now I have three years with the government and am now tenured and no longer a conditional employee. I get 50% more PTO now earning 6 hours of PTO every pay period. In 12 years when I have...

How old is the munchkin? Around 1 yo we started some bigger trips staying at airbnbs. Worked pretty well. You have to pack a lot but you have a truck so I’d assume you have plenty of ability to bring shit. 8 months of pure joy Met up with my buddy, his wife, and their 2.5 week old baby briefly at a...

Anyone doing anything with the long weekend? Buddy is coming down from Seattle tomorrow to stay for a few nights. He’s getting more into gym stuff and hired a coach recently, so we’re just gonna be meatheads and lift, cook, and eat all weekend. Wants me to take him through some stuff in the gym to c...

I saw a cybercuck driving in uptown Charlotte this AM. I was on a bike “highway” uptown the city built, that apparently is for cops to park and people to host run clubs 🤷🏻♂️. Anyway, I came face to face with it as it sat across the red light from me. I was overcome with emotion and felt the need t...

I bet your core is stronger than mine. I do some targeted ab work, and my deadlifts, but outside of that all my shit is done in machines and core bracing is only used here and there for safety and/or to keep my torso at certain angles to try to emphasize certain muscles.

One thing, for example, a lot of people sit in a chair with the back perpendicular to the ground. Just based on our anatomy this out you in a disadvantaged pressing position. I recommend having the back of the seat set at a slight recline… think like 100° rather than a 90° angle to the seat itself....

OHP is hard to progress for sure.
Brad if you ever want to post up or text a video of your seated OHP setup I can try to offer some potential tweak to help move some more weight.

325 at 180bw is a massive bench. Good shit! Would be rad to see you hitting above 300 again. :dat: Bench admittedly has always been my worst lift, but my best at 180lbs has been 245, which is about where I am now. I did put up 6x185 on incline bench this morning, :doe:. :notbad: :nice: bench is my ...
