Must've been standing to the right cos when I went down, the plates on the left bumped into the spotter bars and made me lose my balance. Also ripped my shorts up, too tight. Didn't do anything else cos I was in a bad mood.

LOL pretty high in sodium today. I haven't been cooking. Man, under 3000 isn't enough. Was hungry all day. Since I'm just trying to maintain my weight, I think I'll set my target to 3500 cals cos I've lost two kgs already.

[jimmybro1]

Your metabolism is nutz man :shock:

1) Any drop in calories, and you'll be hungry for the first few days. It means nothing except that your body is not yet used to eating less.

2) If you've dropped a lot of carbs from the diet, you will always lose a lot of water weight. On AAS, I imagine that would be exaggerated even more.

Serious question LR,

At 80.5kg on a fairly hefty cycle why are you trying to maintain weight rather than increase? Seems a little early for a re composition type approach?

What's your philosophy here?

My thoughts exactly.

Shouldn't nutrition have been on point and your macro/ calorie targets finalised before you started jabbing? Making drastic changes part way through doesn't make sense to me.

Theres something in the middle of April I want to keep my weight down for

[nate225]

Ahhh got ya! Playing strength athlete rather than bodybuilder!

Fair call then.

if strength per bodyweight is your goal in April just add Halotestin, it will raise your strength for your bodyweight and ultimately assist you in achieving your goal.

Just finished a 2 and a half hour arm wrestling training session. It was mean, biceps are pretty sore man!

far, long as session. were you able to hold it in for the whole 2 and a half hours or did you sort of go multiple times? were you solo or was this done with others? how do your forearms/wrists feel? i bet it made for a massive post workout shake

We worked on technique a lot. There were 5 of us so we went up against each other. Two of them are NZ's best so we would arm wrestle them and just go hard, and he'd just hold it there so that's a lot of static training. And then we'd try and hold our arm, which he'd drag down and then let us pull it back up so those were a form of negatives which really kills your biceps.

It's cool as, last week my forearms and biceps were sore as f*ck. DOMS hasn't kicked in yet today.

":9xd257ms]you going to enter any comps for it (arm-wrestling)?

Maybe, dunno. I am pretty strong apparently and they say I've picked up the technique really quick so would be keen to give it a shot.

At work, I took on three dudes about my weight (non lifters) and literally couldn't even feel them. Just silly. So the 130kg + Maori/Pacific dude (used to lift and arm wrestle, not srsly though) wanted a go and so I took him on. It was a struggle but I managed to beat him with the right but lost with the left.

And at the armwrestling club last week, I just beat a 75kg dude who's been training for a year hard and they were all surprised that I beat him lol. And today, I was beating another 85kg dude who goes gym hard but first time at the club.

Sickening

Happy Easter everyone lol. Progress pics. Didn't weigh myself yesterday or today but probably around 81kgs. Keeping the diet clean has made my face bloat come down a lot.

interesting, strange turn of events to get in to arm wrestling. how did you even start with that? i guess your roots really lay in power type sports aye?
