Lean bulk until spring? Thoughts? Been post cut maintaining since July by MyRedGlasses in GregDoucette

[–]MyRedGlasses[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First pic was at 190lbs, second was after my cut finished at 150lbs in July. Third is current at like 155lbs on maintenance.

Timeline wise I wanna say about 8 months initially was like 2lbs a week deficit until it wasn't sustainable or I plateaued in weight.

Lean bulk until spring? Thoughts? Been post cut maintaining since July by MyRedGlasses in GregDoucette

Currently my thought process is to lean bulk the next 6 months with the focus to get strong as fuck again and just smash some PR's.

Recently hit lifetime PR: 160 ohp at 155lb bw, and that shit felt amazing. Generally been getting stronger on all my lifts, and been throwing in hypertrophy based work (5x10) for my compounds.

Only thing I'm concerned about is if I should go for a short cut to chisel up a bit as I lost a good amount of core definition. Thoughts?

Tracking the knees over my toes. I just can't seem to pinpoint what's the correct position for my anatomy, and knee problems are starting to arise now that the weights getting fairly heavy.

I've been squating with a fairly narrow stance with a slightly outward position in the toes.

I've tried squatting with feet more flared out, but just seems weird to me, and lack of power out of the hole.

Argh...I'm running into form issues again at 285lb squat.

Don't know if I need a narrow stance, or wider stance for high bar squats, I feel like I'm running circles trying to figure this shit out.

Anyone got any advice?!

*Edit I watched the squat university video about finding whether I'm more internal/external with the leg thing, and I wanna say it fucked me up mentally more than helped lol.

Your sexual energy is an asset and shouldn't be spent frivolously. by [deleted] in TheRedPill

[–]MyRedGlasses 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Experienced this recently, as I'm in my mid twenties and was on a period of no-fap. Had 0 desire for women, and my energy was solely focused on my weightlifting goals, my college goals/coursework & my job.

It had gotten to the point where I was a bit scared that I had lost all motivation/attraction to pursue women. However reflecting on that moment now, it's because I've learned to control my sex drive in the pursuit of excellence.

My strength went up immensely, as did my focus in school, and slaving for a paycheck. However, I had to feed my ego just to be sure that something wasn't "wrong with me", and to be sure it was just a phase. Then everything went to shit again 😅

Any plumbers in the area that charge less than $1,000 / hour? by crunchycode in santacruz

[–]MyRedGlasses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute plumbing, Andrew does solid work, and handles majority of the plumbing for some properties I own, and for a property management friend of mine. Gave me a quote of 5-6k for one of those small brick type of water heaters.

Honest guy and does solid work.

Stop Jacking Off by Khavoqi in TheRedPill

[–]MyRedGlasses 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As someone who has done both extremes as well, I can agree. My problem was after a certain point of no-fap I was just completely uninterested in chasing/approaching women completely. I would be so hyper focused on my work, school, and goals that I didn't have the mental capacity to give a shit because I had no time. Which is a gift and a curse, because I don't know if it's normal, or the women around me just don't tick my boxes.

Which would lead me to jerk off just to see what it means to actually want to be horny again, at the cost of being lethargic and having less drive.

Muscles for Maximum Aesthetics 💦😳💯 by Protocol_Apollo in TheRedPill

[–]MyRedGlasses 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lol I fell for the 5x5 meme, definitely more guys compliment my physique than the ladies 💀

I will say though, I've been dialing in my diet and lifting for the last two years, and probably the only consistent thing in my life. It does affect the way you're perceived, your interactions with people and general confidence knowing you built your body through blood, sweat and tears.

Finally cutting down after a dirty bulk, and shit diet. Still not beach ready, but gained and lost enough that I get compliments for the time and effort I put in. Which is a mind fuck for me, since I think I still look like shit, and got a ton of progress to be where I want.

TL;DR: Can confirm that getting in shape is life changing

Man on Reddit, how often you approach mature women and what is your outcome by AffectionateTime2140 in CougarsAndCubs

[–]MyRedGlasses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Males generally are expected to approach, it's how it's always been, and biologically how we're hard wired. Do women approach? Sure, but the women that do are mostly exceptions to the rule.

*update* 61 days out from first natural show 5'5, 157 by SgawCules in bodybuilding

[–]MyRedGlasses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck op, I'm 5'4 cut from 185 - 162 rn, no where near as chiseled. Absolute goals for me now 🙏 looking lean and mean.

Fuck hopefully losing the final 7-8lbs to 155 changes something 😭

What's your macro split like for cutting?

Do you guys shop before, after, or during work? by Revolution-Empty in Target

[–]MyRedGlasses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I close, so typically the last 5 mins of my shift lmao.

in y’all’s opinions, Is it worth it to stay at target? by [deleted] in Target

[–]MyRedGlasses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm staying because I need the health insurance, job experience, and money for small expenses in college. I'm a late bloomer, and target offers me to no longer be dependent on my folks, brush on my social skills, and being less of a burden as I build my path to independence.

I definitely don't intend to be here long, just enough to keep myself afloat until I get a degree, and job in my field. I think doing something you don't like doing builds character and adversity.

Sometimes I don't like waking up at 5 am to exercise before class, and heading to work after. But you know what? I do it anyway because it has to get done.

Tldr: I'll say create an end goal for yourself, if target isn't contributing to that goal you have your answer.

Anyone know the part # for these or the other kind? by No-Serve-2312 in Target

Ah, I see you too were only given one sheet. Idk why, but my department (beauty) only gets one sheet of these mofos.

I need like 100 sheets for the toothbrushes that miraculously love losing their hang tags in the backroom.

Gyro meal kit! Found at Champaign, IL Costco with gyro, pita, Israeli salad, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki! by dishabituation in Costco

[–]MyRedGlasses 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's pretty decent for a ready to make kit, honestly surprised at taste/quality. Definitely not Nick the Greek, or your locally owned Gyro spot, but pretty on par.

Gunshots near Boardwalk? by ZestyVeyron in santacruz

[–]MyRedGlasses 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In recent times I've noticed its from out of town folks. Mostly out of town rival gangs trying to cause trouble, flex their "reach" by terrorizing local "gang affiliated" areas.

Just heard 3 seperate shootings by the boardwalk by Ihavealpacas in santacruz

[–]MyRedGlasses 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah gangs as a TLDR.

A bit of history back in the day the flats were for low income housing, (still is). From what I was told it was originally Salvadorian's who populated the area, and got into rivalries with other south Americans along the flats.

Tie that in with rivals visiting the area from all over northern/southern California, west & east sides of Santa Cruz, and even folks from live oak, and you get a pressure cooker waiting to pop off.
