I seriously knew a guy who would do coke while at the gym. It was one of those 24 hour gyms that don't have staff and he would just be doing bumps and reps for an hour or two every day. He was jacked so I guess it worked.

Not jacked or on roids, but I am 6'2 and run 50 mpw. 3800 calories was an estimate for moderate workout days with +250 cal for bulking and +400 cal for running. Having lived off 2300 calories for the past 6 months, I'm cautious but amused by the amount of food I'm stuffing in my face now without bursting like an overcooked sausage. Will adjust if that changes.

I get what you're saying, and it's against the spirit of this thread, but I like running and I'm not going to be too broken up if I spend a month eating everything and doing what I normally do without gaining weight.

The GOMAD guy was one of Rippetoe's disciples. Mr. FrogTech did something else horrible:

As a result
- I overtrained (by a long shot). My training was in fact consistent. So consistent that my cns never had a chance to recover.
- I over ate by about 3,500 calories above my maintenance daily.
- The packet rice was packed with sodium, Hence the inflation in my face.

lol gotta love all the assumptions made with followup conclusions based on said assumptions.

I'm 6'0 and my maintenance is 3440. I don't do cardio and I sit on my rear end besides 2 hours per day at the gym 4 times per week of lifting. I don't/can't do roids or anything like that. That two hours is mostly 3-5 minute rest periods too with the occasional almost 10 minute rest periods on heavy squat/deadlift days. I guess I superset most of my accessories at the end.

Let me rephrase. Idk how old you are but a few random tdee calculators with male, 6' and moderate exercise (3-5 days a week) give a 3300-3500 maintenance only at 240-250+. So either you're obese (and should eat well below that) or roided up (and that is actually your Tdee). No one (maybe .01% of the population) is 250 lb and lean at that height naturally

Running Sheiko right now so nah. Mostly do 3-5 minute rest periods for deadlifts, 3ish for bench except near the end where I'll wait a bit more if I feel I need it. But the last set or three of squats I will rest 8-10 sometimes. Squats tax the poo poo out of my cardiovascular system and it takes a while for me to come down. I have a poo poo heart. I have a prosthetic aortic valve and mild aortic stenosis.

I'm 235 and around 24% bf right now. I am not that muscular either. <6 months of lifting, no real GPP at all. I have a large frame in some ways.

I pace back and forth like a madman, browse my phone, or do stretches/some practical movement stuff. I only just sit there and zone out if I'm totally tapped.

I have been losing weight. I was 265 in march when I had open heart surgery again, 255 in June when I was able to begin physical activity after ~3 years of being borderline bedridden, and I'm 235 now.

If you go to the YLLS weight loss thread you can see some pictures of me wearing only boxer-briefs at 255 and 240. I've lost another 5lbs since the last one and probably put on another 1lb of muscle. I plan on going down to ~205 after eating maint for a month at 225. My stomach hasn't gone past my ribcage since 240 or so (~39" waist circum, ribcage area circum is ~40", hips were ~46", neck ~17"). Those measurements have all gone down except neck which went up and ribcage which stayed the same. My waist and hips were not much smaller measurement wise at 185-195 in the past.

Yeah I am weak and fat and have poo poo posture, the fat is going down, the posture is improving, the weak is becoming less weak, and I finally get to participate in a hobby I've wanted to participate in since I was 19. Or since a child? Since I was banned from most physical activity since a very young age.

This is wonderful and I'm very proud of you (unironically, getting in shape is so hard especially after something major like surgery), I'm just making a point about calorie consumption. You're eating way, way too much. I just checked out your pics, and I really, really don't think you are 24% at 6 0 and I don't understand why you would eat at maintenance at 225 considering you are still obese at that height/weight; I would recommend a minimum of a 1000 cal deficit really. To put it in perspective, 24% at 235 is a lean mass of ~180. That means at 200 lb you'll be 10% body fat. 6 '0. . That's fuckin jacked dude, like dedicated to the gym for years from a sedentary lifestyle.. You are not 35 lbs of fat loss away from being loving jacked, no offense intended. just going by pics alone I would guess 30%+ but it's hard to tell.
