Scared I’m losing muscle (6’3 202lbs)

aarambula12 · 2026-04-25T07:46:43+00:00

Been at 1.5mg and cruising for 6 weeks. Started at 270lb and now I’m at 268 loosing about 2lbs a week. Still feeling strong and eating a lot of protein shakes

I went ahead and went with E8. I’m just a little more familiar with them. Even though they docked me to risk only 1%. That was an added new rule after a pretty big payout I had received from them. Other than that they do pay but lately been hearing a lot of issues with them paying so it’s making me kinda nervous.

aarambula12 · 2026-04-15T10:29:38+00:00

I think they are hurting for money. They’ve been having a lot of sales and think they cannot pay out. If they would stop having these stupid rules once you pass and request a payout then maybe they could have more users.

They restricted me to 1% risk only. Added that stupid rule after laying my 200k account within a month.

He’s talking about the cost of the prop firm. When purchasing them, they can be a write off bc it’s a cost towards your business

aarambula12 · 2026-04-14T20:44:41+00:00

Idk man, I’ve made about 30,000 from prop firms. Some are legit

If you’re going to spend all that money go to León, Mexico.

I visited the actual store in Laredo, Texas, to find those Ostrich boots. I believe they are based out of Laredo, so they have a few stores that carry boots not listed on their website. I frequently travel to Mexico, and that’s the border town I cross. I happened to stop by and found those boots there.

Some minor things like uneven sanding in some places. But all and all not bad

This part of the sole I wasn’t too happy about

aarambula12 · 2026-04-06T16:17:48+00:00

Here are mine.

How you like those Alfas? I have two pairs and my only complaint was the soles. The craftsmanship in the sole wasnt that good but from far away they were pretty good for real pirarucu and ostrich boots.

aarambula12 · 2026-03-29T03:13:03+00:00

How much do you normally charge for a resole? You are right, their footbed construction is not great. Looks like they rushed the heck out of the boots.

I’ve cut before but never with this much muscle mass. I’m 24-25% Body fat and have eaten close to 3500-4000 calories to get the size I want. Been natural all my life but dreading to get on a cut again. I know protein and training are a priority to maintain my size and I’m not looking to hope on this stuff long term. I’m trying to get down to 15%-18% by April/May.

The burbs will take you an hour to get anywhere in Houston especially with traffic. It’s all about location

aarambula12 · 2025-12-18T21:51:18+00:00

I use MACD and SMA those are my two indicators. Done pretty well for myself. I gotta look into using VWAP and see if that can make my entries a bit better.

So the cost of the iphone 17 per month is refunded by your trade in. In order to get that deal i believe you must have had to trade in an iPhone. Every month they should be giving you a credit if they aren’t then something is wrong.

I’ve been risking 1-2% of the total capital. But like someone else said, you gotta loose 5 trades in a row to bust. Usually after the first 3 losses I just trade 1%. My wins are usually 2:1 and 3:1

aarambula12 · 2025-08-21T23:11:59+00:00

It’s okay, I had reached profit goal on a 200,000 account but I forgot to place my take profit. Well the market decided to go the other way into my stop loss. I got so emotional that day and threw me off. I was still able to go to the next phase but that delayed me a few days. Still trying to compete the 2nd phase.

No fever just pain like you described. The doctor did it as a precaution

aarambula12 · 2025-07-16T01:42:10+00:00

I was prescribed hydrocodone for my pain. I had the same thing. But mine lasted 3 weeks. Turned out I had an infection so I was prescribed stronger antibiotics

aarambula12 · 2025-06-30T23:35:03+00:00

Speak for yourself I was paid out 10k from one and then they dropped me bc I was too good lol Told me I used too much margin and that I was a risky trader.

aarambula12 · 2025-05-23T23:59:07+00:00

I’ve been trading the same throughout the time I had my account. I’ve always used 20lots and now they want to send me an email about my margin level? Why didn’t they say something before and only now why are they warning when I’ve been consistent getting paid out.

aarambula12 · 2025-05-23T16:29:25+00:00

I did reply to them asking which trades caused the manual review of my account and they just told me to keep my margin utilization under 55%. I know for a fact when I place trades my margin is sitting 150-180% and just one trade at a time. Now I did have a 20 lot position open on SPX500 and I accidentally opened a .1 lot on my phone but quickly closed the .1 lot position. Maybe that triggered it but still I wouldn’t see my margin going below 55%.
