I changed my diet and eating habits recently and the weight has just fallen off.
I started doing a 12-14 hr fast between dinner and breakfast, and that's what I mainly attribute it to. I hate cardio, so I don't do any of that, although I have continued with my weight training. I can still bench 140kg for reps, but not 150kg now.

If more people knew how easy it is and they had just a tiny bit of discipline, there would be far fewer fatties around.

I'd powerlevelled before about how I lost some 15-20kgs just by not eating like a fucking glutton and eating less junk food (still ate a bit, just tried to keep it to less than once per week) and more fruit and picking up weightlifting. Unlike you the weight on the bar went up, but then again i was obese as shit and still very new to the gym

It was almost effortless, a little discipline and some time was needed.

Nobody suspected I was taking PEDs though ;)

I cut a similar amount by just cutting out alcohol (am Kraut/Slavmutt so it's in my genetic and cultural code) aside on dates. Not entirely the caloric deficit that gave me, but also sleeping better from not getting shitfaced a couple times a week meant I could work harder in the gym and recover from it more easily. I won't tell anyone else how to live their life, but it's worth considering.
 
My brothers in getting strong and dangerous, have we talked about Zercher stuff already? I feel like we have but I'm also too gay and retarded to search the thread. I wanted to share something with you all that has helped my leg hypertrophy quite a bit.

I use the Rogue CB-4 for these just because its shape makes it a bit easier to hold. Give them a try as an accessory on the next lower day. Start light and worry about form over reps. Trust me, this one makes it clear real quick that you'll want to include it regularly.

Hell yeah, zerchers! I've used the zercher grip for shrugs, squats and good mornings.

I'd started doing zercher good mornings as a way to do RDLs with an even bigger deficit than last time without stacking mats and plates beneath me

All I have access to are straight bars at my cheap commercial gym, but they do just fine. Considering a year or 2 ago I was doing hip thrusts in the quad extension machine, I can't really complain.
 
I posted this in the MATI thread but it also belongs here. Lift safe frens.

I thought I'd give the podcast a try yesterday. Listening to the Bully XXL episode, I was bench pressing heavy when Josh started doing his shitty English accent and laughed so hard I lost all focus, failed the rep, totally got trapped and had to do the roll of shame. Why does Josh Moon keep hurting people?

I want to stay light and lean for rock climbing but after seeing the natsu thread I have a sudden urge to accumulate ridiculous mass for the sole purpose of psychologically terrorizing fat effeminate pedo bastards with my presence
 
What's a good exercise for wrists? I've been doing wrist curls for a few months 3x a weeks. I usually do 5 sets of 20 alternating one day to another between 20lb dumbbells and 40. More reps and or weight? feels like my forearms are getting bigger but the wrists just stay the same.

I assume you already have OHP, bench press and rows in your routine, with a real barbell instead of a machine (if you don't, stop fucking around with isolation exercises and do some real lifting). Perhaps add farmer's walks. No real form, just pick up the heaviest kettlebells in your gym and walk up and down a set path. Time how long you can do it for and aim to increase the time per set.

At a concert recently, the security girl giving me a wristband said I had the biggest wrists she'd ever seen, so perhaps there's something to it.

wrists arent a muscle. try bone smashing.

You can increase the size of the tendons. Consider what it feels like to shake the hand of a builder or other tradesman vs the hand of a career office worker. Regardless of how big they are, the builder's hand feels massive because they lift heavy stuff all day.

The builder's hands have larger muscles. Source: me, guy who works in construction and crushes hands when I shake.

Anyway, @Eternally Fresh Meat if you want to build muscle, fewer reps and more weight is the key. 5 sets of 20 reps is called "toning".
 
Last leg day I did 236lb/107.5kg on the squats. The trick for me to dare to push myself more, was to set up the protector bars high enough that I can go just below 90 degrees in knee angle. I stopped going ass to grass, because it was hurting my knees.
I use a weight lifting belt too, the same model as the one I told about earlier that was too stiff to use. It's one the gym loans out, and I feel it protects my lower back more than the other flimsy belts they have

518lb/235kg in the sledded leg press

Ironically the numbers are higher now than when I did my failed SARMS experiment.

I have begun to eat a lot more too, ramped up my proteins and decreased my carbs a little. As a perspective, it's an amount of food I used 2-3 days to eat. And now I eat most of it and need to make a new batch every 1-2 days. So I'm so happy that I recently got a bigger fridge.

As my chest press is weak af, I have started to do cable chest fly and while that is still low. I do feel I work the muscles more than my half assed chest press.

And lately, my thighs have gotten bigger. The inner thighs rubs each other when I walk normally. Not at the point where they chafe yet, but I'm starting to understand the frustration behind it.
