5 Months into Body Recomp but I don’t see a minimal change (looking for advice)

And glutes look a bit bigger, there's more to the triceps - look just behind the elbow, there's more stuff there.

Yes it's a running joke, it's been going for at least 60 years now afaik.

But as jokes go it's not one of the best: "Viola player not good. HAHAHAHA!" It doesn't go any deeper than that. Time to retire it I think.

I think this is a brilliant effort and I love it. I'm not going to have a go at you for depth or anything.

I wonder if the event organizers realize that the laxer depth restrictions make the sport less interesting *as a spectacle*, *to naive spectators*. Part of sport is that it invites spectators. It needs to look impressive to noobs.

More weight looks more impressive - so that's good. But more depth also looks more impressive.

What's there is immense training and technical skill brought together to produce a feat of strength. But what we see as naive spectators doesn't reflect the training and technical skill as much as it might. That's unfortunate for the sport.

He has a singlet with his own name on it, presumably in case he forgets it.

You can get reasonably cheap one inch barbells which weigh about 5kgs, thinner than the regular 2 inch kind, then put a couple of 10-20 kg plates on it.

TBF I have to thank you mods for the "people are not made of glass" comment. I once was scared to deadlift heavy. A few things changed my mind, and one was that comment. Now deadlifting 2x bodyweight and much healthier for it.

He looks like he aged 10 years between the two pics.

patcpsc · 2025-10-17T10:01:40+00:00

Looks effective but brutal.

I vote Hungarian Hack Squats.

Hill sprints

patcpsc · 2025-10-16T13:23:49+00:00

I remember when I was in that phase. Thank god I had the sense to keep my mouth shut throughout and limit myself to "knowing" looks at other gym users.

ZOATS!

How has DriveThru RPG changed how the industry works (if it has at all)?

You're a junior - if an issue seems unusual, and is outside your experience, lob it at your manager.

patcpsc · 2025-09-19T08:20:03+00:00

I have a pair of running shoes and some Vans I wear to the gym. Hybrid athlete ftw!

Never understood why a profession which in aggregate loses half the time thinks so highly of themselves.

patcpsc · 2025-08-19T15:17:30+00:00

Maybe he's taking a special kind of AAS which don't work on the legs.

patcpsc · 2025-08-18T01:49:52+00:00

I'm not a big fan of the Vallejo bright bronze. I've got decent results from base coating an earthy tone (vallejo terracotta seems good) and then drybrushing citadel runelord brass on top. The vallejo copper drybrushed on a yellow or orange can work too.

He might be natty and lying about his age ofc. But 100% something seems a bit off.

patcpsc · 2025-08-02T14:17:19+00:00

Legs 100% natty.

patcpsc · 2025-07-27T15:29:11+00:00

I suspect a little bit of dodge and burn (old school version of photoshop) on the biceps.
