Not rich at all. When we built this house back in 2005 the market was just starting to get nuts. Thats why we built. Everyone was asking a ton of money for their house that would need to be updated. My neighbor just sold his house for more than double than what he paid to build it. I prob couldn't afford my house now.
I only have about a half acre here. Think the lot is 150'x200'. Hopefully be selling this house in the next couple years to move to our property in the finger lakes. We have 25acres there.
We used to have 2 Weimaraners. Loved them but a lot of work. Great dogs though. Now I just have my sweet Lucy.
Count my blessings every day man!
@s.gentz Nolvember is the start of the bulk I cant wait good timing too
you got that food locked in bro
November will be start of the diet. I've been putting on size since June. 175lbs show day and 222.6 this morning.
Today is my trial run with adding a meal. Going to 7 meals now but keeping same cals.
Stevesmi and I have discussed the whole 5-10 meals a day thing. It's over done. Heck, as we've seen, there are as many advantages to a 1 meal a day or a short window for eating. Stevemsi pointed out that your digestion is 'on', as it were, all damn day with more meals.
Here's ONE reason why I MIGHT support the increasing of meal number while, as you say, keeping actual intake the same, a flatter stomach. If. for example, each meal was 500kcals the volume is small.

I think there is probably a middle ground that makes most sense. I imagine that, despite protestations to the contrary, fasting is quite catabolic if only from looking at the pathways activated by the body by doing so. I think it is a mistake under almost every circumstance if muscle gain is the goal.
On the other hand, the glucose-insulin cycle takes about 2 hours in most people, maybe a little less if you have really good sensitivity, so if you don’t wait long enough between meals, you are going to be in a high glucose state much of the day, and you are going to tire out your pancreas leading to all sorts of problems.
If I were to guess, spacing meals at 3 hours apart is probably the sweet spot long term. If you need to lose a ton of weight, then fast, if you are bulking short term, eat more, but having a relatively consistent flow of nutrients while minimizing strain on insulin production seems pretty smart.

So far this feels better. We will see how digestion holds up. I get the less meals thing but when trying to put on size it becomes to difficult unless you are eating shit food.
At the end of the day it's all about getting the food in. I sent the below to Mobster. Mainly just shifting cals around for better nutriant spacing through the day. Open to suggestions.

That looks like a superb facility you have access to. Nice when gyms treat their members like that.
This place is great. Thats the owner to the left of the machine in the first pic training a client. Super nice guy. Occasionally competes and has a few guys on staf that have won shows. They started out super small in 2012 and moved into this place about 6-7 years ago. That whole room i'm in (im the fat guy in the hoodie taking the pic) is all arsenal equipment and there's another room attached with six arsenal squat racks. Plays loud music and it feels pretty hard core when your in there. Upstairs is all life fitness and hammer stuff and cardio.
@s.gentz amazing gym and your dog is super cute
I'm liking those toys. I'd fill them both!!
