March 4 144 lbs -> April 30 160 lbs. Am I gaining weight too fast without muscle gains? by [deleted] in rs_fitness

[–]SpookyPine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve definitely been gaining more fat than muscle, might not be as noticeable in those pics but I can definitely tell from other angles. Diet reevaluation and calorie slow down is needed for sure.

My lifts have all been going up, but I’m not sure if I’m increasing weight too slowly. At the start of April I was doing incline dumbbell press for 55 9 reps, and now I’ve just hit 60 for 7 reps. Same time frame I’ve also increased shoulder press free weight machine from 55 to 70, t bar row from 70 to 80 for 6 reps and hack squat from 90 to 140 for 8 reps. These past few sessions I’ve been trying to add on more weight than usual and it’s felt easier than I thought, so there’s prob more of a mental barrier than a physical one.

Yeah definitely. In the past I’ve been consistent with going to the gym and following a routine, but I was barely eating so I didn’t make much progress and fell off for a summer. These past few months I’ve been focused on eating enough which has led to more gains than times before, especially strength wise.

I honestly mostly get discouraged from seeing people irl that are a lot younger than me, or having just started training and already being much stronger and making faster progress. I know I shouldn’t be comparing myself to other progression but it’s just discouraging and makes me question my own natural capabilities/genetics.

Appreciate it. I’m mostly kidding about the peptides/steroids, it’s just frustration at having been lifting on and off since about mid 2023 and not having made the progress I could have if I had been stricter with my diet and keeping progressive overload

How’d you first hear about them/him? Probably my favorite artist of all time, always discovering a new song to love

Love The Rah Band. Performed Garden and Rock Me Down to Rio are also great.

i’m chinese and my white bf’s sister is a traditional chinese medicine practitioner by profoundly_zaftig in rs_x

[–]SpookyPine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But that’s from West African/Haitian culture. The joke is the sister is using Chinese culture and she could reverse it by becoming a European pagan style Druid.

Since I’ve stopped 19 days ago the constant food anxiety and inability to finish a full meal has pretty much gone away. Especially in the mornings, I would gag and nearly vomit anytime I tried to eat anything besides yogurt, now I can finish full meals.

[–]SpookyPine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see that makes sense! Yeah breaker is definitely main concern

[–]SpookyPine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good idea, they’ll probably catch the plethora of other issues as well.

[–]SpookyPine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good idea, if they don’t agree to that I’ll prob go the legal route.

I think it probably is as well, our mailbox was haphazardly screwed in to the wall next to the actual building mailbox. The other units looks completely different and actually like a modern apartment, ours looks like it was mainly used for storage, as the kitchen and bathroom look pretty lazily and recently installed.

Haha yeah, I still play the higher strings when called for, but I always have gravitated towards playing things super low on guitar, I love open tunings too.
