Who else is getting turbo shredded this year?

[GaryRidgway]

My clinic convinced me to hop on Tesofensine and semaglutide and I’m shocked. I’ve never done a peptide before and they actually work. I’ll eat a meal that’s about 800-1000 calories that’s mostly only protein and will be full until the late evening. I haven’t been able to eat any more than 1800-2000 calories a day.

Hunger has been my biggest downfall from test. I have went from 175 to 200 since august. I put in a lot of size, finally losing the gut. (Ded fkn Srs)

When I was running a higher amount I bulked up to 225 from 200. After that I literally had no appetite. Even eating cutting amounts is kind of a struggle for me.

[Coal Man]

You should research low test and how it can enhance all those stressors. (Ded fkn Srs)

All those things can affect men of any test level, especially when dealing with several of them at the same time. You don't know the details of his situation, lmfao @ just blaming it on "get test levels checked bro"

i stopped drinking like a week ago (legit forever this time lol) and didn't backslide even a lb because i wasn't eating much on my bender(s)

i thought my new gal would interfere with me having an autistic cutting diet but her diet is way more autistic (all in bar form wtf)

i'll uh be diced real soon, boys srs

[Sgt T-Man]

Last night, had a bag of chips with dip, 4 donuts, 4 cupcakes & 3 large cookies.

So far down from 230 to 224 this week.

Yeah I went on a bender too and my weight stayed the same. Also ate a ton of junk. Crazy how that works.

on thanksgiving weekend I went on an absolute binge that most of you would probably shudder at.

between that thursday, and that sunday, I went through six 12 packs of bud light, and one 12 pack of corona.

High blood pressure and backne doesn't sound like a high price to pay at all. This is the level of side effect that I'm worried about: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...hp?t=181299533

In all seriousness though, maybe the reason I don't see the issue is because I don't have blood pressure issues, maybe it's a major concern for people who do.

As a tangentially related side note to contribute to the conversation, I've been experimenting with Viagra recently which showed me what high blood pressure feels like. An odd thing I noticed was that my quads would burn when doing deadlifts but not squats which was strange because squats should be more taxing on the legs. When I experimented with Viagra, I felt that exact same burning feeling in the quads which explained it, that feeling is from high blood pressure.

My issues weren't a big deal, I just realized I don't care that much about lifting and don't really need to be doing this for no reason really.

Interesting about the viagra. Did you feel stronger? Apparently high blood pressure makes you stronger

My theory about the turning homo thing might be guys take super high doses and end up with way too much estrogen conversion. Do ****s have higher estrogen?

Makes no sense sometimes

LOL'd


Unrelated note: I saw an Instagram reel the other day where Arnold was describing his chest workout from his prime. Decided I would attempt to recreate it. It was great. I had actually never done DB pullovers before but will now incorporate them. Felt like a god doing those and for hours after. I goofed a bit and worked in some accessory type stuff that really toasted my tris before I could get through the last exercise - the dips. Won't make that mistake again.

I like doing dips last. I can actually feel them in my triceps when they're fatigued first.

I just went too hard on other things, so when it came time for dips my triceps were too tired to do set of them. Will adjust to account for that next time.

[MrQuint]

Hit a little plateau but back on track and down 21 lbs. My workouts are mostly cardio but I’m still lifting too. Main thing for me is tracking cals.

PM'd you, brah.

[George2100]

I have a strongman comp in May and I’m right in between 2 weight classes. Not sure if going to get diced now or after, but it’ll happen

[GaryRidgway]

Not too bad considering I've been drinking a chitload this month. Desperately need a tan and better lighting. Bw is 220 currently. I wanna get as close to 200 as possible.

Have you done a strongman contest before? I was gonna do one last february and the first day of training for it I snapped my back deadlifting.

Mirin’ shoulder vein. Keep it up, brah.

[SSM12]

Got the ‘vid I think. Still trying to eat around same calories but haven’t hit gym in 4 days. Fffff

I should have been close to done by now but so many fuk ups lol. Oh well I'll get there eventually.

I got sick at the beginning of this month and it reallly threw me off. I had no energy and no appetite. Sucks bro.

[DustinTheHuss]

You've been saying that celltech isn't worth it but you've also only talked about upsides, never any downsides.

What makes it not worth it?

It makes me gain weight and break out. I get a lot of muscle but I want it to burn fat and it doesn't do that as easily as I thought it would.

My ENT specialist wants me to take Sudafed since I have a cold and something is finally curbing my appetite from my psych meds. I'm down 300-500 calories a day.

[MrQuint]

A weekend getaway set me back a few days but down to 186 this morning. Still averaging 3 lbs a week. Everyone else still heading in the right direction?

3lbs a week is solid. GJDM.

I'm still noticing differences in the mirror going the right way. Scale bounces around a bit based on water it seems, but trending in the right direction. This week was my first week of cutting alcohol out entirely in order to move things along faster and reduce face puffiness, etc., that restricts aesthetics. Lifts are still going up too, so I'm feeling good.

[cjayzzz]

i've been turbo bulking.... summer is right around the corner need to get the phuck in the gym and stop eating like chit

Looking better, dropping weight and lifts going up? That’s what I’m talking about, gjdm

[SSM12]

My scale said 10.7% bf yesterday. Probably not accurate but a good idea. Keep grinding boyos

[bradlehman]

How is everyone doing lately? Ended up having visitors from abroad Tuesday night and an impromptu office happy hour yesterday, so a couple days of several drinks each have me retaining extra water. Looking forward to lifting this evening and continuing on the "minimal alcohol" path going forward toward maximum 2023 aesthetics.

Minimal alcohol is the key. I need to figure out how to do that. I either don't drink at all or go way overboard for weeks at a time.

I've been sticking to doing the vertical diet the past couple weeks. Maintaining around 220lbs but strength is increasing and I'm definitely a bit more vascular. Need to drop calories a little and do some cardio. Haven't really been doing any.

[MrQuint]

Checked in at 184 this morning. I'll be 44 in a few months, I'm hoping for more ab definition by then, I can see some now but I want moar.

[MrQuint]

I'm down 27 lbs in 10 weeks. I'm not dropping quite as consistent as I was the first 2 months but I'm still happy with how it's going. Weighing in at 181 now, at the moment I'm still aiming for 165 I think.

That's really good. How's your strength holding up?
