MISC Lean Bulkers Crew: Now that the cuts are done, let's have some fun

[-Gin-]

hush now its all good, her blocking you is for the best (no hate) because it will stop her from being even more tempted to contact you, i mean did you have any plans to keep in touch etc?

regardless its nearly x-mas and like you said your surrounded by others that can help you take your mind off things so be merry and such.

also funny gif

It would'v been wise to end things in person before I left, but we were on great terms...no reason to end other than distance. And I didn't want to end it 'til now 'cos she was in the middle of exams, then prize-giving, etc so I didn't want to cause any more chitstorm on top of my leaving.

Anyway, I know this is for the best. I've got my family and friends (and you guys, too) so I'll be sweet. It's the holiday season, so need to keep my chin up, lift big, and eat big

Thanks again for all the kind words. Merry Christmas Eve, bros

Any history PhDs able to explain why USA celebrates xmas during the 25th while europe celebrates it during the 24th? (Not even sure whole of europe even does this)

And to Gin, tbh you were the bigger man in this relationsship, because you handed it all very well and even waited for her personal life to get easier before Breaking up, kudos.

orthodox Christmas is January 7th. having a european background i always kind of was involved in 2 Christmases. most Europeans just go by something called a new calendar. and anglo's or whites go by 25th. same for Easter and new years.

Dirty bulker checking in, I am never doing this again. Next bulk will be lean bulk.

24th - christmas eve, with a big "fasting" feast (no meat, dairy or eggs)
25-26th - christmas, but usually only the 25th is celebrated.

That's the lithuanian tradition at least...

Even more intredasting. The reason i wonder is because the lutheran-teaching was that the 24th is to be celebrated.

Happy holidays everybody <3

I get that there Christmas twice a year mum's family on the dec 25th (catholic) dad's family on jan 7th (orthodox). Easter usually comes twice a year as well but it lands on the same day every few years. Than that der Ramadan for my muslim friends. We also picked up the US holidays (American European) so Independence day and Thanksgiving is on full blast. Trying to keep it lean and mean the rest of the year.

[b0yer2]

I'm back in the States for good now that I'm done with university, and she's over in NZ about to start (yes, slight age difference...haters gonna hate).

Been over a month since I've seen her now, and who knows how much longer we won't get to see each other. I'm gonna start working (given I can find a job...lol) and she's gonna start uni...both very busy, so naturally, start distancing, etc. Thought about it for a good two weeks, and ending it was the best thing I could do for her, even if it hurts now.


She's already blocked me on ********, Skype, etc. Hurts a bit knowing we've been so close these past 22 months, but whatever makes it easier for her. At the end of the day, it was my fault, and my decision.

Luckily for me, it's Christmas, so I'm surrounded by family and friends (and you guys )

Sorry for the spiel.

Dude seems like you made a solid decision. Being in a relationship when you don't see each other is awful. The only way LDR's actually work is if there is an end goal in sight. Like you going back to NZ or her coming to the US after uni. Seems like you made a solid choice. It sucks, but part of being a man is making decisions like that. I would give it some time and reach out to her though since it is not like you broke up because you fight or she cheated. Maybe she will become a close friend and who knows maybe one day she will move to the states and you guys can get back. Always keep those doors of communication available.

But again give her some time.

GL man,

You sound like you're doing it correct as fuk. I have lost most ab definition atm

[ampUP11]

Christmas Eve block pulls, snatch grips, and rows, what a way to annihilate my back before Christmas tomorrow lol. Hopefully everyone is doing well and enjoys tomorrow because lets be realistic if you're lean bulking and don't binge on Xmas you're a *******



Need to start eating more, I keep floating 186-188 and then dropping back down, time to move my set point up a bit

[Hnnggh]

7k calories in a 10 hour period. And that's just sugarcoating it, because it was probably more towards 8k.

Gym closed until the 26th.. :'(

Merry Christmas, brahs! Hope you all have a great day with your family and friends and make sure to keep on top of your macros!

The amount of carbs I've eaten today should go down in history books, feels bad man. Grandparents want to take me to this excellent hot dog place tomorrow, feels even worse

Don't worry, my combination of beer and triple chocolate cookies was astronomical...
