Definitely liking my adjustments to percentages for deloads. Low enough volume to shed fatigue, while still being heavy enough that I don’t just feel like I’m phoning it in.

Settling in on my new diet. Had to drop a lot of shit that’s been fucking up my guts for a long time. Denial can be a motherfucker.
Third day in, zero bloat, and I think I’ve farted twice.

Gallowmere's Obsession, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Deadlift
For me it’s proven to be oats (fucks up my breathing and plugs up my head), all dairy proteins other than yogurts (painful bloats and constant mustard gas farts), and all of the fucking veg I was eating.
Amusingly for the dairy, it’s not the lactose. I can drink goat or sheep milk by the quart with zero issues, yet even an extremely isolated whey makes my guts explode.

Gonna go full retard today, since my birthday lined up with squat day. Will do my normal JTM squats, then finish with a “birthday set”. Current bodyweight (180 is close enough) for 34 reps.

Decided to start tracking blood glucose so I have some hard numbers to judge a bulk by. I’ll know I’m getting too fat when I get into “normie” glucose uptake levels.
For now, my 2-hour postprandial is 85 (after a 450+g sweet potato and 150g of 90/10 ground sirloin), which is lower than most people’s fasted. Apparently my insulin sensitivity is just fine, to put it mildly.

Haven’t been here much.
Impressed by your dedication.
Your transformation is amazing.
OK, just read the whole thing while watching football - not impressed, but f’n impressed. Your mind set is insane. What was the tipping point that solidified it?Last edited by Proximal; 12-02-2018 at 07:49 PM.

Thank you.
As for the tipping point, I happened to stumble across this blog post one day: https://chaosandpain.blogspot.com/20...our-fault.html
Before that, I was a typical “muh genetics, big boned, blah blah blah” fat guy.

Had to cut short due to a bit of work fuckery. No big deal though, as I’ll just do some HLR from the ladder on a roller or paver later today.

That means a lot, coming from someone with your obsession toward improvement.
Honestly though, I view it completely backward from most people. I’m not dedicated to getting better. I’m abstaining from the modern bullshit that makes people suck. I feel like my approach to life is the most “natural”, even if not the most “normal”, if that makes sense.
Modern normal is pathetic.

Complacency, making it through the day & not making waves. Flavors of the current times.

Smoking weed, drinking, sleeping around, pleasure in the now, lack of any sort of discipline, and zero standards. That is cool today.
I hear all the time people say "IDGAF" like its a term of endearment. Its why everyone speaks like a valley girl and nen don't exist in society.
Precisely why I can't socialize well. I can't bring myself down to the level of debauchery expected to fit in.
The average used to admire the greats. Now they admire one another it seems.
"I would rather be myself than someone I am not" became an excuse.
I would rather strive to be who I want to be and am not yet.

Finally unfucked my left shoulder entirely.
Years of shitty posture (you can see the lean in my fatty pic) caused me to have a nasty bit of scapular winging on that side. Not problematic in daily life, but under load it was putting the whole joint in a shit position, and I had a bunch of crackling and later on, pain from heavy bench and OHP.
After weeks of forcing that shoulder to stay pinned back, it’s finally started resting and moving properly, with the scap retracting along the back of the ribs.

If it were just aesthetic, I’d never have worried about it honestly. However, it’s definitely been a limiting factor for my bench and overhead work, so I finally got pissed enough to fix it.
Pulling alone wasn’t enough to fix it. It’s kinda like how people think less about nutrition and sleep than training. Even though I do about twice the pulling volume as pushing, I’m only in the gym for a couple of hours at a time. That was nowhere near enough to offset the other 22 hours of my shoulders being allowed to be in shit positions.
I’m pretty sure it was mostly caused by years of being in the truck that I drive for work. I’d usually sit cocked to the right, left hand on the steering wheel, and right hand running the control board in the distributor. Just had to start making sure I’m using my core to twist, instead of the shoulder slopping forward to reach the wheel.
