Woooo! Congrats

What height?

 

Approx 6'2". Got long arms, have to move the weight a long ways!

 

Jesus Christ 6’2” and 165 lbs!!!!!!! Are you like 16!?!?!? And you hit a horrible growth spurt

 

No I like being lean. I did raise my daily calories from about 2900 to 3400 and did some carb cycling which helped. Not sure I want to get more than 165 though. Body fat is pretty low, was under 10% but haven't checked in a few weeks. Still looking lean as heck.

 

Lol, will be 41 in January

 

If your turn sideways I bet I can’t see you.

 

Got some hard earned muscle. Def an ectomorph which makes the gainz tough. Seems like I have to work twice as hard for crumbs

 

Holy Shit.

And I’m self loathing at 151 and 5’9”.
More self loathing over the mass I lost being ill.
Being super lean is kinda fun because you can run circles around the big brahs and beat them on a peg board.

 

Congrats man! My bench max isn’t much over 225. I’m 6’1 ~180. Bench has always been my weak point though.

 

But can you lift your truck off yourself when it falls on top of you

 

But you’re you.

 

A guy at my gym today was deadlifting 675 and I was pretty jazzed that I could budge one end of the bar, lol

 

Prolly not...

I might be effed there.

 

Most I have seen a guy lift at the gym was 715 (DL).
I remember thinking to myself, at what point does the bar snap? Lol

 

Most bars are rated for a little over 1000lbs. Squat bars even higher.

 

Well then I don’t have much to worry about.

 

Depending on the bar I bent one with 700 on it.

 

My Texas squat bar 55# is rated to 2500# my Ohio deadlift bar 45# is rated 1700# my power bar 45# (bench and whatever else you wanna do) is rated at 1000#

Then I have my duffalo bar, multigrip, and a few other bars in the garage that are “specialty bars” but they don’t hold much weight. My safety squat bar holds up to 1500# I think.

 

Did you hang it on your wall? Lol

 

No workout anytime bearden made me pay for a new bar
