Ah well, get my meat-money at 6pm tonight, in an hour.

Just waiting to see if my friend wants to go to the half pipe after work adore it gets dark.

I can see out the window there's skater chicks at the ramp now

I'll get some interesting meat that you guys might not have, sure there's something

Thats a good amount of eggs, very clean eating

Day 6: Dole Day Shopping & Dinner
Meat is back on the menu boys​

Tuesday 6pm is when my dole cheque appears in my account. I got a fat key of steak and a few cans to replenish the bed-tuna stores. It's weekly, $351.78 Sir Edmonds, £156.09 Pound Sterling or $209.86 United States Dollars. We gotta make it as anabolic and protein laden as possible

View attachment 115520

Got some steak & milk & tuna & coffee

View attachment 115521

I pulled my sleeve over my hand to grab the receipt to photo then abandoned it, as receipt paper and ink is estrogenic and gets in through your skin

Fry and threw it down my throat with my hands. It was so salty and good, I want more

View attachment 115529

Going to walk to the new R18 main stream yuppie gym, I'm super excited for this place

I can't wait to become a part of it, and since everyone is new because it only opened yesterday, starting a conversation with another gym goer should be easy,

Will report back.

High protein, thats the steak of champions LOVE this meal and milk is perfect
steak + milk best proteins

[toddthelineman]

Okay cool, is that common? I just assumed the needle would get a microbend on the tip from going through the stopper on the vial.

Took about 5 pokes through your skin/vein to make them blunt in the past, but veins are much more delicate

I used to do it too. I avoid it now. Fresh needles in my skin only

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

A new adults only gym opened

across road from where I park yesterday

It's like Disneyland for gym bunnies

I dunno what the fuck this room is but there were HOT woman in compromising positions in there

Advanced sitting room!!

Private shower rooms with power points too.

I have been getting access to new stuff lately!!

Day 7: Calves Attempt 1
​

Big news fellas. I woke up with a raging hard-on again. Also showered for the first time since last Wednesday, and winter is drawing to a close so I better get better at that, I get sniffed directly by officials every morning. Won't be able to leave meat under my bed much longer either.

Gonna try pin Calves today, didn't go super smoothly both the video attempt and the pin but it's done now, here's the video

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AsnAKfnBx3OEaMahQNZB3TCVjh-gAPYZ/view?usp=drivesdk

Nectar was frozen but not AS frozen as last week

.2 over again, whoops

Flex, eye the spot, prick

apart from not being very smooth it's okay, didn't hurt much. I'll update if that changes

calf injections can really get infected and cause high pip brother
dont do them if you can avoid, the only places to pin for you are delts arms glutes and quads last resort

Okay man I'll try move to the glutes. Haven't atcually thought about how to do that. If you've got any tips I'm keen, and I'll try look up some text books

bro that look like a nice trailer gym dayum. blows mine away

It's sweet man!

Thinking of moving across the road from the park to this carpark

Then I could stop pissing in a bottle and come here instead!

There's this room full of insanely hot woman in nice outfits.

I can tell their houses don't have wheels

I don't know what they're up to

I couldn't stay to see what they were doing

It was like staring into the sun

They were just too hot for me

Peak pilates

you can train here free?

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

you can train here free?

Nah not free but it was kinda a bonus. Peter Jackson bought up the whole block where my gym is and is going to smash the gym down and the gym doesn't have a new location

It's a mainstream gym chain, really good but they have another brand of gyms, their R18 ones with private bathrooms and all that sort of thing.

I always had the most expensive membership because I wanted to go to their group classes and stuff, and that same membership gets me into this new gym too

Day 7: Breakfast Steak​

Had the other half of the Dole Day Steak for breakfast

It was soo salty and good.

I need to aquire more

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

A bonus is perfect, you should go there, it's nice.

Yeah cheers man, I'm loving it. Back there now =)

From 9pm until midnight last night I had the whole place to myself.

Nobody even came execpt the one girl who was in the whacky machine room I may have scared off, she left when I came

 

[milbous1]

The steak in the picture was 1.038kg and was tough but great cut up, would have been great in a slow cooker. I'm about to go get my daily kilo, but I'll get ground beef this time.

Great podcast and interview you guys just did, thanks mate!

that’s chuck roast it’s awesome in a slow cooker. Chuck roast is the best roast in my opinion.

i was looking at a different picture sorry

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

that’s chuck roast it’s awesome in a slow cooker. Chuck roast is the best roast in my opinion.

Yeah man I agree, it seems to be cheaper than the others too. That like was about $12 USD.

 

[milbous1]

you can get cheap cuts of meat and use a jaccard meat tenderizer and make them pretty tender. it was my best friend in my 20’s and 30’s when i was poor. I’m really thinking about using it again for sirloin steak. my daughter likes beef tenderloin a little to much.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

i was looking at a different picture sorry

It's not exactly chuck steak but most people would find it tough, I just cut it up before cooking and just swollow it. I don't know what cut it is exactly either

It was not much more expensive than chuck or blade steak though, I would have got that if I had a slow cooker

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Potential Dinner Options
Pork or Lamb?
​

Gonna try some different meat. Pork is cheap here. We have lots of sheep too.

USD: $1 = $1.70 NZD​

GBP: £1 = $2.28 NZD​

Lamb candidates

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Pork candidates

Oh this is sweet man!! I remember my mum whacking meat with a hammer looking thing when I was a kid but totally forgot about it.

I'll try find one of these and give it a go and report back.

Thanks for the tip bro!

 

[HarleyGuy]

calves can get infections easy and if you hit the wrong spot its a mess with pain

Bro we gotta teach you the best spots and how to pin, gauges, etc. Glutes, lats, all three delt heads, and a very specific spot on the quad you have many really meaty options that can handle 3 CC's easy!

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

I'm keen as, cheers bro. I was just going through a guide book I have and videoing pinning a new spot each day until someone said something

Think I've done:

Day 1: left quad
Day 2: right quad
Day 3: left quad
Day 4: outer quad with updated instructions
Day 5: right deltoid
Day 6: left Deltoid
Day 7: right calve

I'll try the quad tomorrow or the next day after we talk about it =)

Alright bro, ass it is first thing in the morning.

The testosterone and retatrutide I'm going to be running in this log from Life Forge is due tomorrow.

Gonna begin in earnest and try be detailed and consistent.

I'm sure someone will spot it if I start slippin' and skipping the dishes on the ship and stuff.

I can't be doing that even if I'm only going off for an hour.

There's glute and vent glute. Each side. So that's 4 new spots you can use that work really well.

Day 7 Dinner: Pork​

 
Took the opportunity to get sale Pork

$13 NZD for 1.5KG & cook it up before the gym.

Washed and dried my clothes at the laundromat mat. It's ah, been a while.

Gotta clean up for the new gym a little, it's swanky.

I'm in the carpark eating pork then I'll go in and lift.

Considering staying in the gym car park tonight

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

New Gym Update

I'm at my new gym and this is the second night in a row that I have the entire place to myself.

This is my second visit in today, I talked to the female owner, staff and cleaner, told them I think this new place is like Disneyland and I'll be in every day from now on.

I told them I wrote them a five star google maps review after my three hour visit last night, where I had the entire gym to myself. They giggled and said thank you in tandem in that adorable way woman do that smacks you in the feels sometimes.


It is stocked with all Nautilus machines and a lifting cage and platform, full cable stations.

All these Nautilus machines are brand fucking new too.

Nautilus build and refined these machines over decades and decades, tested on the general public at large, to transform the human body.

Strengthen, grow and mould flesh with steel.

If logging is to be my new occupation then this is my new workshop.

I can't describe how well things are going.

The testosterone therapy is working. I'm not just a new-age hippy smack-head alcoholic. I really can feel my life force returning and symptoms subsiding.

All the pieces of my life are falling into place nicely.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

New Gym Update - Nautilus Lifting Session
​

Good times at the new gym, I didn't really have a plan, just wanted to touch, explore and use these brand-spanking new, straight out of the box on Monday engineering marvels from the explorers and pioneers past and present from Nautilus

I smashed out 50 Ab Cruncher reps x 2

3 sets of 12 on the lat pulldown

3 x 12 on the shoulder press

Never row'd the Nautilus way before

Bit of rare delt action

Don't get distracted by the hot asses on the big television you degenerate

There's pull-ups to be assisted with.

3 sets of 12 to be precise.

Weight 79.85 KG

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Not really I'm barely treading water. I'm running multiple servers on discord, posting content. I have a lot on my plate trying to prepare for when I'm back looking for work

You should take a day off and vape some MC and watch a TV series or something brother.

Have you seen the Japanese anime Baki? If not download that. It's about training and it's mad pre-workout. It's got sweet training and lifting montages. I love those crazy little buggers.

But seriously bro six hours is not enough sleep, 1600 is not enough kcals for how hard you're going. You're also way too stressed.

Remember what Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates say about rest and recuperation bro. Go back and listen to their stuff about it again.

Your body will struggle to grow under those conditions and add stress onto that and you'll start getting dodgy skin and shit too. Take it from someone who has burnt out several times burning the candle at both ends as an alcoholic corporate whore.

You gotta take it easy sometimes bro. Can you catch the bus into town and get a massage or some shit? Why not try drop fifty bucks on a hipster haircut or something. Make you feel good and forget about training for a day.

Maybe go to the public swimming pool and soak in the hot tub. Usually some friends to be made there too.

How about we watch some shit together on the weekend and talk on the phone at the same time and forget about training. Pick a night bro and I'll be there.

I also recommend daily "body scan meditation", there's ten minute guided ones around.

Basically spending ten minutes controlling your breath and move your focus from muscle to muscle and actively concentrate to relax it, then move onto the next.

I also set a reminder to relax a few times a day. Take a minute and unforrow your brow, then unclench your jaw, then relax your shoulders and let your arms hang, then take a deep breath and hold it for five and slowly exhale.

Loving your log bro, you're going hard!!

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

I meant to say too, there's only one good spot on your quad where you're not playing with fire. Lots of nerves and vascularity in the quads.

Mean, I while prefer not to do the quad, it kinda hurt for a couple of days, but a dude here a couple of days ago showed me how to do the outer head and that went better

What I'm getting from this is as long as you don't stick it in your atcual ass then you basically can't miss. I'm just gonna try.

Day 8: Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Pinning my ass with other men's guidance​

Hope me mum never sees this.

Seems you can't miss

I drew with one needle and pinned with a new one like the chick at the needle exchange told me. I chose short tip for pin.

Just had this random memory from the gym last year, I was in ear shot of these two Indians, I didn't atcually atcually see them but I heard one say "she'd be super pissed if she knew what you put in your ass".

Now I'm about to stick a pin in my ass it clicked that they probably weren't gay, they were probably talking about steroids! You can't get one passed me.

I'll spare you the ass pics but it slid in smooth. I think I'm an ass man now.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

It was bro!

Can only afford it the day I get my food stamps

It's not a huge concern at the moment though, just in the back of my mind.

If I was gay mum and you all would know all about it haha.

I appreciate the feedback man, I've been trying to get a daily template together. I'm going to do one daily update to make things easier for others. I see how other people do that and it works better than what I've been doing.

I want to nail this because the gear from Life Forge just arrived. I posted touchdown pics here:

Atcually bro, would you mind spelling out for me what you're saying here? Just want to make sure I'm not overlooking something

My plan was to download a bunch of heavy metal albums and lifting related soundcloud psychedelic trance edits with Tom Platz screaming shit at me with some thumping trance to help me commit during the sets and not giving in to thoughts of bailing

It's only a minute long but I added this Sam Sulek edit to my playlist this morning, highly recommended addition to your in-gym lifting play lists

I have been lifting mainly at lunchtime the past six months, but I'm changing to night so I have a chance of having the whole place to myself, no staff, no others.

I'll try and manifest it so:

Dear Universe, I command that I will have the sweet new nautilus gym to myself on weekday evenings. Thanks in advance.​

I will copy other Forum Guys routines' from their logs or messages.

In my van before I go inside I'll write a post-it note with a list of exercises to do or machines to hit, and go hit 3 sets of 12 reps for each.

I did the @HarleyGuy Shoulder Routine the first night.

If there's nobody there I can grunt more freely. I'll be ready by the time I swipe the doors open and right away warm up in some fancy upper crust manner I'm not aware exists yet. All the cardio machines are up on the mezzanine floor up stairs, so running up the staircase is a good way to start

Then I'll follow the post-it list of exercises, going from machine to machine smashing out my sets while blasting loud music on my headphones and generally behaving like I own the place.

Ill go as hard as I can, and choose weight aiming to take most sets of 12 to near failure like I do with my PT, he always nails it.

I did three sets of 12 Olympic bar squats last night after the machines and pull-ups.

Dunno if I was just exhausted from all the machine sets but it was relatively difficult, the bar felt pretty heavy.

I'll take a photo of it tonight and do more bar squats and see how they feel

I did the @HarleyGuy Shoulder Routine the first night.

Hell ya! Interested to hear how that felt, especially the much neglected rear delts too. That cable bar 'unsheath your sword' trick is killer on those rear delts.

 

[HarleyGuy]

Cut and paste mine if you want bro I don't mind. If that works for you. I have been able to do it daily for some time now.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Cut and paste mine if you want bro I don't mind. If that works for you. I have been able to do it daily for some time now.

I will bro thanks! I was planning to copy a bunch of your stuff too anyway. I only currently buy eggs from a good source and I've been buying meat from one of the evil mainstream supermarkets.

I haven't atcually thought about it at all but it's completely against my philosophy of life and how I want to live. I want to buy from farmers and market gardeners and fishermen directly.

I was thinking I could visit local butchers, I cant even think where a single one is, and just tell them my situation and try and form a relationship.

I'll say I have $140 a week for food and want to eat only meat and see what he replies with in the way of solutions. Might mention I'm willing to eat anything if he runs it through his grinder for me.

Then I could try aim higher with protein, not as crazy as you or anything but pointed upwards in that direction and steadily increasing over time.

I encountered a new potential place I could do volunteer work for, maybe an hour every morning cleaning up this overnight rubbish problem they have, I'm going to go in the morning and talk to them about it.

The lady said there's a criminal record check but I only have dangerous-driving and high-range drunk-driving convictions on my record so it should be okay.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Hell ya! Interested to hear how that felt, especially the much neglected rear delts too. That cable bar 'unsheath your sword' trick is killer on those rear delts.

It is! I didn't know that one, done it the last two nights in a row, 3 sets of 12 @ 5kg, it gets tough! I went to failure.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Day 8: Meat & Machines
​

Quite a few others tonight but that's cool, I'll try make friends. I can always come after midnight when I want it to myself.

Got some Power Metal from Italy blasting in my ear-phones tonight.

Leg Extension

12 x 18kg
12 x 23kg
12 x 27kg
14 x 32kg to failure

Leg Press

12 x 45kg (too easy I think)
12 x 54kg
12 x 64kg
12 x 73kg

I feel stronger on leg-press than last week. Those all felt pretty easy.

I'll move up the weight next time

Leg Curl

12 x 50kg
12 x 50kg

Damn those were hard. CBF doing another set of those tonight

Atcually changed my mind after a rest and did another 12 x 50kg

Olympic Bar-Squats

12 x Bar
12 x Bar
12 x Bar

Took me a while to get the hip-hinge movement and my PT said I'm not ready. But I was so into leg-press and hack-squat that we kinda forgot about them.

He taught me RDLs, initially with kettle bells and I practice the hip-hinge in various ways, we started progressing on the landmine-row too, starting light.

So these barbell-squats are the first atcual real squats I've ever done and I feel they are okay form and I'm not hurting myself.

I've fractured L2 before, and thrown it out again swimming so I think I'd feel if I was putting the weight on my spine.

I will try video tape my form but there's others around tonight =/ one dude moved nearly the full stack on leg-press, didn't look like the type too.

Maybe I can find a lifting-partner here one day. At least I know he's not the type to go for the $7 membership and not support the gym and use their elite stuff

Did another 12 on leg-press before I remembered I already done them, those squats spaced me out

Tuna can before gym

Yesterday's Pork

The collared shirt I had for job interviews is now for lifting.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Hell ya! Interested to hear how that felt, especially the much neglected rear delts too. That cable bar 'unsheath your sword' trick is killer on those rear delts.

My abs and arms were sore today so I hit legs tonight.

Can only afford it the day I get my food stamps

What kinda meat you eat bro?

Perfect, thanks for the feedback bro. I'm keen to follow this advice, I've been getting a lot of benefits from volume such as enjoying atcually doing it for the most part, practising visualising through the exercise before executing it, the mind-muscle connection and just practising my form.

Also cardio is going good thanks and I'll have some updates on that soon as I formalise some more things. But at the moment I'm out of deisel so been walking at least two hours a day just doing my daily tasks, but pleasure walking and pacing while on the phone in addition.

Cardio is this entire UNIVERSE of cool stuff to explore outside the gym! I'm hoping to do some budgeting so I can do one two hour roller skating session a week, they're hard-core intense cardio I wouldn't know how to replicate in the gym .

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Yeah thanks dude, I do need to relax more. At this stage I have one day we're I jam the game with the bros if they are available but everyone has been busy so I have just been playing by myself

Day 9: Friday Night Lifting & Metal​

Friday night at the new gym, exciting!! There's two chicks in yoga pants I'm the Reformer Pilates room, that room full of weird machines I posted on Monday.

I smashed out ten minutes on the treadmill to warm up and could sense the presence of proper gym bunnies but I just turned the volume up.

Another Rhapsody album tonight, Dawn of Victory

\m/

I just saw out the side of my eye on the way to the water Fountain, I didn't dare look else I might get distracted and I'm gonna get these bicep curls in on a machine for it, first time!

There's a chick doing RDLs with the bar in the squat rack, a dude on the Ab Cruncher and two ladies doing something on the mats.

I am riding the vibes for sure but got my headphones cranking and focused on lifting.

Friday night is Lifting Night now.  Not unlike the days before and after it.

That last set of 12 curls did the trick. Near failure again. After the cardio and curls I'm sweating and had to wipe the machine down. This place has wipes dispensers not bottles and paper towels - flash az f bros. Dude on the Ab Cruncher so I'll come back later.

Then shoulder press

12 x 23kg (too easy)
12 x 27kg (1 RIR)
15 x 27kg to failure

Then more assisted pull ups

15 with the machine pin on 70kg. Forget how it works. Hardish, 2 RIR

12 @ 70kg, 2 SLOW RIR

@HarleyGuy sword scabbard side cable pulls

12 x 12.5kg each arm got sloppy, dropping
12 x 5kg left arm (got difficult at the end)
12 x 5kg right arm also got hard

Olympic Bar-Squats Again

Was thinking to help add volume to my sessions as recommended by @LevButlerov and because I'm new to barbell squatting and not confident I could add more sets with the bar and do a higher volume of squats that way instead of adding weight. Does that sound right?

12 x Bar
12 x Bar
12 x Bar

Dooooone with that for the day. Totally done. Pouring sweat.

Did another set of 12 assisted pull-ups

30 Ab Crunches, though can still feel the Tuesday session and I forget the rest, just gonna screw around and go to the massage chair room. Yeah buddy.

Breakfast this morning

What I mean is the more volume you can do the better, I'm talking about getting more sets in the gym and cardio. Cardio being the big one that will help you progress a lot

I was about to bail home but I reread your message and went and did another 12 bar squats and some eazy-bar preacher curls and more ab-crunches and another 12 assisted pullups.

I feel more alive than I have since I was a teenager in the nineties staying up all night on the modem.

I might just be a crackhead but I swear woman can pick up that I've started showering again or something. I've been trying to keep my distance but they just seem to be there when I'm trying to stay away. Ah well.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

I can't turn my back on the old gym or neglect visiting her.

I need to go more, double gym. Go do cardio there in the mornings.

I need to go to the group classes at their yoga studio. Ive been oauing for it for three years but not going.

It's on the second floor and I've never even been up there before... I just watch gaggles of woman stream out of there occasionally. I've already got my own mat.

They do these gamified half our cardio bike group classes at 6:15am that look pretty sweet.

But above all other reasons, that is where my nearest hacksquat lives. The new gym only has a leg press, leg curl and leg extension.

The old gym is large and has a full suite of pin-loaded Startrac machines on one side of the gym, and plate loaded Hammer Strength gear on the other side.

The new gym is a Nautilus-based outfit. Between the two gyms I have access to a full range of machines from three major manufacturers.

She'll be right.

I think there's room for two gyms in my life. I pay for all their shit so I should participate. And they are only 150 meters apart.

-As an addict in recovery Thiamine is important as the booze especially depletes the shit out it so keep taking that.
-If your sword cable pulls for delts are too forced just lower the weight and increase volume so you get the burn, and hold the contraction when your arm is fully out and up.
-Great update and great job on the low carb (low carb for now)

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Oh you think so??? Damn I've never thought about that.

Remember pheromone-aftershave adverts in the back of Playboys back in the day?

But now you mention it that does not sound crazy to me at all.

Testosterone is a big part of our masculine essence.

Woman are hard-wired to detect manly traits so will likely respond to increased manliness... they've probably got recivers and tripwire alarms somewhere inside them.

Damn bro, my mind is blown.

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

-As an addict in recovery Thiamine is important as the booze especially depletes the shit out it so keep taking that.

You're totally correct brother. They started giving it to me in hospital detox two years ago.

I used to get given them daily by the pharmacist with my antabuse and methadone but I was sick of bumping into other bums who try and sell me benzos so I moved to a upper-crust neighbourhood an hour round trip on foot away and dose there.

I'm the worst case there so everyone's a good influence in one way or another and my mornings are much more pleasent. Plus I'm motivated to walk an hour each weekday morning by not wanting to go into crippling opiod withdrawal

At the new place they give me a new bottle of each every 56 days.

-If your sword cable pulls for delts are too forced just lower the weight and increase volume so you get the burn, and hold the contraction when your arm is fully out and up.

Im on the lowest weight of 5kg but got through 3 sets of 12 on three different days this week, and shoulder press too. Feel great man!

I just got back from the gym, it's 23:30 and ate another can of tuna. Labouring descaling rust on the ship tomorrow, carb refeeding day. Gotta try get some sleep.

After lifting I did a half-hour sequence on the fancy massage chairs and I feel amazing... never been touched like that by a machine before.

-Great update and great job on the low carb (low carb for now)

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

-Great update and great job on the low carb (low carb for now)

Thanks bro I'm working on a plan for eating to run by you.

I'm thinking about adding fruit and vegetables from the farmers market back in for financial reasons. @Mobster and @stevesmi talk about eating your vegetables on the podcast a lot.

I was thinking about getting a blender for whey protein powder, eggs and maybe banana shakes. I don't know but I only have $6 left, blew all my money on meat and now only have 12 eggs left. I should check out food banks and see what I can get. I've paid a couple of million dollars in tax before.

What do you think? I will still stay organic, up my protein but lower my fat, and stay eating mainly whole food but not just meat like I would like to do but can't really afford.

I'm going to be on retatrutide and @LevButlerov said low fat digests better on reta. Dunno if that changes things.

 

[Allupfromhere]

Bro your log is steaming along and can clearly see your loving the journey your now on also its awesome to see brother.

What I mean is the more volume you can do the better, I'm talking about getting more sets in the gym and cardio. Cardio being the big one that will help you progress a lot

@LevButlerov is right though, cardio is often overlooked or disregarded. But imo its almost the most important, not just fat loss focus but the big one being heart health. Bad heart and its all downhill from there.
Keep up the momentum brother

 

[vanlife_gymbum]

Bro your log is steaming along and can clearly see your loving the journey your now on also its awesome to see brother.

I really am bro, but I don't feel like it's a solo journey, I'm following a path laid out, logged and proven by the underground masters here on the forums and am being greatly assisted and inspired by all you guys.

@LevButlerov is right though, cardio is often overlooked or disregarded. But imo its almost the most important, not just fat loss focus but the big one being heart health. Bad heart and its all downhill from there.

I totally agree bro I'd never trade cardio for anything. I love skateboarding and roller skating and surfing and swimming and running away from the police and juggling.

I'm going to add more structure though, and want to start yoga and cardio bike group classes, maybe one each a week.

Government Thiamine and Mysterious Multivitamin

I’ll bet they give you these for your previous alcohol use. Alcohol blocks thiamine in the brain. It’s why alcohol makes people kinda whacky. I self administered it when I stopped drinking. In theory, with no alcohol or processed grains you would not need to supplement it. Pretty much all processed grains in the US are fortified with B1 and other things by law, even if the package doesn’t say so, like white rice if it isn’t organic. You can actually become deficient by eating all organic because of this. Unless you supplement, of course.

When I first started training, I was 100% replacing my addictive behavior with the high from working out and I would damn near cripple myself often. You’ve got hormonal support so that will help, and you are wise stick to the bar with squats for now. Your enthusiasm hints to me that you could do like I did. I’m sure you’ll be fine, I just want to mention that I absolutely did hurt myself and I’m lucky it wasn’t worse. Lots of two steps forward, three steps back for me.

Your gym looks super clean and quite kitted out, did that just open recently?

How are you feeling day to day from your workouts? Are you still getting alot of DOMS, or have you toughened up and passed that phase already

Okay bro I will.

I went to the Arizona boarder once and went on a canoe ride to a cave that had really crazy old cave paintings, the cave was on an episode of Ancient Aliens, it was cool stuff

Yeah bro it opened for the first time on Monday morning so I was in there first thing Tuesday evening. I guess coz it's 24/7 it only opens once.

I watched them unbox the Nautilus machines.

It's so flash man. I used the massage chairs last night and it almost gave me a hand job, felt weird being touched by a machine like that. Woman have got some pretty stiff competition these days.

Man I haven't thought about DOMS at all now you mention it. I'm going to go with no, I should have got some after that leg press at least.

Ah atcually my abs were really sore the other day from that Nautilus Ab Cruncher machine come to think of it, better now two days later.

Every work out this week has been the best workout I've ever had. Maybe not as important as some of the ones with my trainer where I learnt something big but I was by myself this week

Hack squats not crucial as long as you doing volume.

You think so? I was shocked the hacksquat was missing from the new gym. I will just travel to it.

Why would they choose a bicep curl machine over a hacksquat? Those are hardly a dangerous learning curve with free weights. The gym is small so they had to choose but still...

I was thinking of doing really heavy hacksquat once a week and other times do high volume squats with just the olympic bar. They were fucking me up just with the bar for sure. Got through six sets of 12 all up last night

@LevButlerov help me with this. When I think of volume, I’m thinking of the total amount lifted, weightXrepsXstes. So 100 pound bench x 10 reps x 1set = 1000 pounds total volume. Does this translate correctly to your use of the word “volume”?

Fair enough man, I can see how that'd work. I atcually wish I'd tried that when I was younger, it might have worked. Probaby not actually but seems worth a try.

I had a two year break in between sobering up and beginning at the gym. I bought the membership right away with that intention but couldn't figure it out until I got the PT.

I'm way more likely to do too little than too much. I'm also really scared of getting hurt now I'm sober. I have broken every bone in my body apart from my spine which I fractured riding my bike to the liquor store while drunk in a mountain bike accident.

Did you level out or just keep going?

Hah interesting. I think of it like adding more sets at the same weight or more sets after dropping the weight.

You could stretch out 1000 pounds into a million reps right?

Hack squat v barbell, chose what ever you can execute most safely. I love hack squats though

I can put a shit ton more weight on the hack squat. I love it too.. look up the guy who invented it, George Hackenschmidt, he's a madman. He also invented the bench press.

Looks bloody nice. Yeah 24 hours gyms will have certain staffed hours for walk ins, new membership sign ups, trial/day passes etc.

at the handy comment. The chair would be cheaper and a better financial investment too. Just needs a little clean up occasionally, but you'd never get nagged at hey

Nah that's good mate. DOM's are nice to feel sometimes, but week in week out and it just becomes annoying. Sounds like you're making good headway brother.

Yes, technically. My app would calculate it that way. And that’s what makes me wonder if I’m defining it the same way

Day 10: Refeed & Rust
And Back-Loading Syringes ​

Didn’t make it to the exchange the other day like I said. And I'm out of short-tips and in a hurry.

I was just gonna get that ever familiar 27g 1ml and slam it through that vial-stopper and into my ass but I don't want the negative feedback haha.

So here's how to back-load a syringe barrel. This is not advisable for street drugs as usually that means skipping filtering them and they've likely been in a few asses already on the way to you.

Get out two picks (seen in 2 and 3) and take the plunger put and out it back in the packet like in 1:

Fill the complete syringe's barrel with warez and stick it into the back of the one you removed the plunger for:

Then now is the tricky part.

Get the stopper back out and gently hold it at the end but don't push it in else the pressure will make your warez squirt out the needle end.

While gentle holding it in place, tip the whole rug upside down keeping the plunger there, as soon as you see an air gap, push the plunger in 1mm till you feel it pop in.

Then hold it upside down for a minute while the oil trickles down so all oil is at the bottom. Flick it with your finger to help it along

Then you can push the plunger up to remove all the air and get it ready to put in your ass

Right cheek today, still no pain

I have learned not to overdo it. This may have been easier because as my form and strength improved I simply can’t go as hard because the heavier squats and deadlifts are so immediately taxing that I won’t keep going. My body is or was very optimized for endurance. A little weight goes a long way for me
