Bodybuilding Classic Physique Division Offseason log

"I only got a boob job, double eyelid surgery, botox, spend 45 minutes on makeup every morning, wear thongs and yoga pants, wear high heels, and wear 1200 RMB designer perfume before I go to the gym to do hip thrusts, squats, RDLs, and various glute kickbacks for 75 minutes 3x/wk for ME. I promise it's not because of millions of years of mammalian evolution driving every single behaviour I exhibit toward the purpose of reproduction, feeding, or social status! It has nothing to do with rising in inter-sex status hierarchies for the enormous dopamine and serotonin hits of mogging my female peers! It has nothing to do with the enormous amount of brain chemical rewards I involuntarily feel when the 6'1 kpop chang stares at me in the gym with a visible erection!!1!. All that matters is loving yourself and being your true self! I do it because I like it, not for other people's validation and approval! Doing things for other people is pathetic!!"

'bro I only lift for myself and to BE STRONG. It has nothing to do with intra-sexual competition or a desire for more mating opportunities, physical dominance, and attractiveness bro. It's just about my own fulfillment and being the best version of myself bro. You shouldn't care too much about what other people think man, just do it for yourself bro. Be the best version of yourself bro. It's definitely not to try to slay as many fitness girl wellness competitors as possible or to attract and retain one high quality partner or to gain rank in male status hierarchies!"

"She dropped down from 62kg to 52kg in 10 weeks on Tirzapetide using no structured diet and doing no systematic training or attentiveness to micronutrient needs. But it's okay because as long as she's comfortable in her own skin that's all that matters . Losing 16% of bodyweight in 9 weeks on a 2nd generation GLP1 agonist from a non-obese starting point isn't definitely unhealthy and potentially risking serious complications! ohh and she's definitely not doing it to conform to societal expectations for women in China nor the natural sexual preferences of the opposite sex. This dangerous abuse of a powerful medication with potential severe side effects was just about doing it for herself "

I'll prob be able to pop off to this several times. 3 hours and 48 minutes this is gonna make good material.

bookmark the particularly arousing sections for the fans?

Huberman recently said he started doing grease the groove pull-ups because he wanted more strength and not get more bulky.

That's the good life man. Guy is raging at 2000 ng/dl barebacking 5 different girls he is dating, passing them the herp and has to worry about getting too massive from pull-ups even though he is pushing 50 years old. Must be nice, must nice to rage at 2000ng/dl.

Lol get too big at that age. Good shiet man, almost as good as these Trump briefings.

Never married no kids btw. That's an important part along with 2000ng/dl. get on 2000ng/dl with a wife and children and see if you can bareback 5 different girls, work at stanford, g2g pullups, and release 4 hour legitimately informative densely packed with information high content podcasts 2-3x/mo. Not happening.

LFG, 10,000 ng/dl energy baby.

but if it must be nice, why don't you do it, f4got?

Interview to become head of high school （so basically vice principal and 3rd in command) at my school next week. it'll probably involve a three year contract so Id be locked in. But obv more money and having it on CV opens the last of any doors.

We'll see.... Im more worried about the school not closing down than getting the role so Ill prep a 10 page aspie document on what to fix, why, and how as part of my interview prep. Some “simple but difficult” fixes

And you are good with the area for a few more years? Iirc it wasn't too long ago that you freaked out about being locked into that area for even just 6 more months or something like that.

I wouldn't ever get pumped up to greater than 600-800 ng/dl. I mean that's probably my T levels at 18 years old, makes zero sense for me to get pumped up higher than that.

Now if research comes out that 2000 ng/dl decreases mortality, well I am aboard.

Huberman just sounds ridiculous. I GTG because I am too big. Maybe lowering da dose a better option good doctor.

this 50 something did grease the groove pull ups but not for those reasons. tough on the elbows tbh and I've had to switch to chins at way less volume

I'm getting my test levels checked next week to see what impact TRT has had. Certainly don't notice much/any difference to my physique but definitely mood enhancements

I had no proper bbing compatible gym nearby or grocery store at the time. Those opened 3 months ago. So it was not flippantly changing my mind.

Its gonna suck and make it basically impossible to find a partner to get married or have children with however. I'd rather not even think about that part.

Jesus I don't know how I survived that... 30 minute trips to get chicken breast or having to order all my food frozen, terrible gym nearby with the broken cable machine and everything falling apart (but ace lighting lol), and the only real gym was something like $120 usd/mo and a 25 minute ~5 usd taxi each way. The gym stole the name muscle factory despite not being affiliated with the international brand and was ostensibly owned by a competitor but he let all his equipment fall into disarray because it was all DYEL 18-25 year old males in there going to play on their cell phones but still be able to say they "went to the gym". I think I saw a woman in there a grand total of 2 times after probably ~20 visits. But now the good times are here, gym is 10 minute taxi away/could bicycle there during prep, reasonable grocery store that only runs out of potatoes and green beans occasionally, get to speak to an actual under 45 woman I don't work with face to face 4x/wk. LIVIN THE HIGH LIFE BOYOS.

My current gym's equipment, despite not great stuff for pressing, is top 1% of gyms I've ever had the pleasure of using. Free weights kinda mog for pressing anyway and pressing muscles are a huge strong point for me anyway to where I need good equipment for back, biceps, hams, quads, and glutes but my chest+delts+tris are always good no matter what I do.

Coming here was still overall a life mistake, but if I get this role then it wouldn't be. I'm ambivalent because getting the role means more $ and better future prospects but not getting the role means I get to go somewhere that actually has women and modern Chinese delivery services. The utility I'd get from both is probably about the same or maybe slightly higher from the extra money+career advancement so I won't be beat up either way.

On a rolling basis piecemeal style.

1 hour and 49 minutes they are discussing hormones and behaviour, specifically testosterone. One thing I did not consciously know but upon reflection (heh) is very true. "Testosterone makes you reflect less"

My nickname was literally emoken. In my natty and early roidding days I was far more reflective. But frankly, being reflective can get you into an emotional doomspiral and often times isn't very productive. A certain amount of reflection is okay and even helpful, but at some point you have to just ****ing do **** and not think so damn much about doing ****.

I'm waayyyy more confrontational and disagreeable IRL. Sometimes this has negative consequences, sometimes very positive results.

Nothing else all that notable. A lot of monkey talk. Interesting and still an enjoyable listening, but not as focused an HC as many other episodes. It's hard to do so when it's 3hr 48 minutes long.

God mode session today. I'm not sure if it was the recent introduction of ment, better sleep, fatigue dissipating from relatively lighter weights last upper session, recently lower volume of pressing exercises overall, re-adjusting to my normal equipment isntead of thailand setup, higher caffeine intake this morning, or some combo of everything. This was only my 2nd dose of 10mg superdrol so it couldn't have been that.

Upper

I got the db low incline on video. Will upload when I feel like it idk.

I never got around to buying the roller thingy for RFESS so tomorrow I'm just going to leg press. My rdls are working well for glutes already and I'd really like to not RFESS b/c I am a pussy. If i can figure out a way to leg press to get more glute activation maybe I can justify skipping rfess. It'd probably involve just doing single leg press but that almost sounds worse than RFESS tbh.

Ahh, I didn't catch that the gym and grocery store opened up in the meantime.

Do you....even want children?

Sounds like you get to win no matter what. Nice, nice.

idk, lol.

One could spend endless circular hours thinking about the pros and cons of having kids, but that would be a fruitless dumb emo waste of time. Do whatever feels natural and don't really think too hard about it. Some of the people I look up to and am inspired by are unmarried with no kids, and some people I look up to and am inspired by are married with kids. Like before, the utility from either is probably about the same so don't stress out about the decision.

This basically just sounds like an ad to rawdog everyone and anyone you can.

Although, at this point in your life, for you, I agree. Just saying for many (most?) people, this is a terrible idea lol.

oh yeah for sure. I'm actually very conservative with not using protection and still in single digits on that. But in terms of actually forming or seeking serious relationships with the explicit intent of marriage and children? Don't overthink or intellectualize or analyze that part. 100% FEEL, NO MATHS.

Most people don't have this problem of overthinking themselves into unhappiness because their capacity to think about major life decisions is already 0 or close to it. Terrible idea for most other people, but great for me.

I liked this a lot. Entertaining, not all that related to bb or fitness.

Funny the normie neurotypical white woman narrator who has probably never lifted a weight says she thinks that the steroid use had more influence on behaviour that psychadelics or other rec drugs and were the more likely culprit in driving this man to commit a violent brutal murder. Normie women gonna normie woman.

db incline presses from last night

very un godmode session today. i was super distracted thinking about work stuff all the workout and couldn't focus. I literally didn't even remember to put on my oly shoes out the door. Appetite also kinda trash rn (I've learned not to try to force feed past this, this is a signal from your body to take it easy because it has enough food to make the muscles it's gonna make)

Lower+arms
Leg extenions: 3 sets unable to even count my reps
Ham curls: 3 sets, same
Leg press: 4ppsx20, 10, 14 paused actually got a good setup with a lot of glute action, but didn't feel quads nearly as much as the kind daddy rfess. leg press is just overall the lesser exercise, I feel more of quads and glutes on rfess, marginally more hamstrings on leg press but much less quad and a little less glute.

Cable curls: lmao 3 sets
pushdowns: 3 sets
Skullcrushers: 3 sets
DB curls: 3 sets

I was on too many devices for too long and my attention was all scatterbrained as I went into today's workday. Totally preventable, I messed up today. I'm going to try and do a better job managing my day tomorrow and not get into electronic multi-tasking for hours at a time.

On the bright side one thing that was distracting me was talking to this 20 year old Chinese kid who just dropped out of university in Thailand and seems to have some interest in bodybuilding. His English is okay but not as good as my Chinese. He's already familiar with the idea of carb cycling which indicates a high level of interest in all of this. Is this the dream client I would literally pay to be able to coach falling into my lap? Is he willing to get enhanced fairly early in life? Probably. Is he willing to prep all his meals and eat boring emotionally unsatisfied foods? That's the actually hard part of all this for most people. We'll find out shortly. Maybe we'll have a chad demigod in the making. He's tall with a lanky frame which is perfect for men's physique or classic.

Alright he's on board but wants to stay natty. This will be a fun test though for sure, coaching a natty 20 year old aspiring BB.

Upper

Incline bb: 95kgx8, 75kgx18 all paused obv
v-handle pulldowns: only got 80x12 so did 2 sets of HS high row with 45x8 and 35x7
flies: 47x20, 2 more sets failure
hammer rows: 2.5ppsx15, 12, 10
incline machine: 30kgx14

superset delt raise pullover
some curls and triceps very light

I can't do v-handle pulldowns both upper workouts, too much local fatigue and wasn't recovered. The original plan on incline was 92.5kg but then I realized we don't have 1.25kg plates. 95x8 was still very sub max and I expect 100x8 will also be very submax. 75kgx18 was max/almost max.

My last few weeks of offseason I'm being very loose and fast with my diet. I mean while I'm eating at work and pre workout meals are always clean bodybuilding food, but rest days or post workout after work I'm eating stuff like very fatty ribeye steak, beef fried noodles with eggs and potatoes from a chinese restaurant, and even ice cream. I'm just going to keep an eye on the scale and make sure I'm not blowing up too fast. Still hovering around 99-101 which is perfect.

The next 20 weeks of prep and the 7 weeks immediately after when I'm in the rebound are going to be very strict, and when I do cheat I'm doing home made ribeyes
