    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Didn't post in foreverrr. Lockdown got me hard the first time in March 2020 but I prepared better when they inevitably closed the gym again in December. I bought a (inclinable) bench and 100kg of weight plus a barbell. Built a poverty squat rack out of wood with a pullup bar screwed onto it and...

    Office bro does as office bros do... I track everything in Microsoft Excel on my phone.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Just "kicked off" my summer cut by having norovirus last week and losing 4kg of weight over 5 days. Took that as inspiration to actual start dieting for real now, seeing as I have zero cravings for food currently. Jumped straight into EC and tracking macros again. Didn't make it to six pack abs...

    We prep again currently, every weekend we prepare lunch and dinner for Monday to Friday. The only fixed thing about my meal prep is that every meal has to be at least 30g of protein. Filling up on carbs or fat is relatively easy but I realized quickly that I struggle to consistently keep eating...

    Reporting back after long, long time. After buying a bunch of stuff over the past years I did the jump this summer to get a MTM suit. Stores in Germany are in far and meh cities, Zürich store is close but 50% more expensive and I anyway every once in a while go to Milano for weekend trips (dat...

    Yassss, exactly a week until Xmas holidays. Of course I failed my cut by like 1-2kg but whatever, got enough definition to look better than Joe Everybody. Already scouted around for a gym and got two tips. So after lifting at a cheap ass gym in Dominican Republic that was better for actual...

     It's South-West Germany/North Switzerland so it's okish, we typically hover between 0-10°C. I'm supplementing a lot of vitamins, Omega3 (hate ***** fish) and ZMA since a few month consistently. Clearly helped my general well being and avoiding getting a cold and stuff. Wrist got better with a...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     Bold part is probably me. At least I feel for the effort put in, the results are stalling too much. But I've never done any sports until age 28. I can accept the fact that I'll never look amazing and that there's some stuff you can't overcome (wide hips, weird chest, short biceps muscles...

    At 18-20% bodyfat? No question, I'd cut. 25% bodyfat "yo I'm bulking" chubbies look horrific.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Guys, weird question. I feel like I'm stuck. Since a few months I didn't make any strength progress, didn't gain any size but also didn't lose any muscle or strenght. But I'm losing my motivation and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I can't really figure out how to overcome this situation...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    Back from two weeks in Thailand. Didn't get as in shape as I hoped but wasn't a total disgrace around the pool either. I managed to train like three times a week there but the hotel gym was rubbish. I've cut quite a bit water weight though... got food poisoning, weigh nearly 3kg less than when...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     I'd have to get food poisoning to lose 10lbs in 2 weeks without trying super hard. I don't think if you eat normal food you gain/lose considerable body mass or strengths within 1 or 2 weeks. I ran the "a cake a day" program last vacation where during my 2 week vacation I had cake every...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    I travel quite a bit and bring protein to business trips and protein + supps sometimes for vacation. Pills only in original containers, protein only in original bag which is unopened. Everything else would be stretching your luck with TSA, etc. too much. If it's a one week trip, I wouldn't...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     Well normally yes but I'd say something went rather wrong on that lift, seeing how it was actually 20kg under my 1RM. Probably combination of being super hyped to deadlift again and actually knowing that I can rep that weight multiple times. Shows that form is priority 1. Won't deadlift...

    Got two jackets, a suit and two pants. Actually the suit and one of the jackets were items I've eyed a while so I won't complain about the discount.
