I decided to take a trip down memory lane.

I found your post all the way back to OT3.

Good times.

lol

 

[Szu]

The comments from some of the regulars still crack me up. Cooter's was the best.

Wow you guys were a bunch of assholes...

I love looking at my first post. It's like a different guy.

Was this post directed at you Szu? If so will you accept my 4.5 year old apology?

 

[Psychotext]

Definitely never posting pics now. lol

 

[BumRush]

Cooter is one of the biggest motivators here. It's hilarious reading that post.

 

[Rimon-hanit]

I think I can start posting here.

Good times.

It's sad those sort of comments pop up here (by normal posters) every-time the issue of body image come up. people employ some really fucked up mental gymnastic to make themselves feel better.

Edit: Noted.

 

[mdsfx]

I think I can start posting here, I am sort of fit.

You don't need to be fit to post here. 'Beginners' are always welcome.

I don't follow? I see nothing wrong with the criticism. If that is what you are trying to say anyway.

You'll find FitGAF (and Cooter especially) to be an incredibly motivating yet honest place.

In my 4-5 years here, I cannot remember an issue of body shaming AT ALL (unless it's FE's bulgepics and that's probably just jealousy).

I don't post here because I enjoy writing about fitness, I do so because this place and the honest critique has motivated me to achieve my fitness goals and I hope to do the same for others.

I see comments like this and the one titled a lot here on Gaf, people trying to put others down, just because they are trying to improve/take care of themselves.

There's nothing to forgive.

Still fun times.

Fitness threads outside of FitGAF are always depressing to read

Oh thank god, we dodged a bullet guys.

 

[Cooter]

It's not something I would say now and it came off a little mean. That being said, your arms do take people out of their comfort zone. They're difficult to comprehend.

ehhh

I know what you are talking about and while that does exist, the stuff in this thread is positive criticism. I honestly see nothing wrong with what Cooter said or people who have said similar. There was no malicious intent.

I want people to call me out on my shit or weak body parts. If something looks weird, I want to know.

 

[Szu]

At the same time, what you said was true.

And one of these days, I might actually have a chest and back that I can be proud of.

Yeah I am kind of sensitive about those stuff, maybe I'm just making assumptions in this case.

I imagine at this stage, your chest takes a break when you bench since your triceps can pretty much handle anything themselves

OMG, with your ass, you probably feel like a lollipop from the waist down.

 

[Psychotext]

Don't know what you mean.

Edit - Related... my calves are bigger than my arms. I'm assuming that's probably not the norm. lol

Not making me feel any better about my deformity.

lol, I've never noticed it and Cooter's comment was 4 years ago.

Haha. I was early on the Szu gigantic arms train.

You were a visionary

Lol no but lets says she treats it like a lolipop

 

[Szu]

Well played.

Struggled for years with regular pull-ups, and had no delusions of ever being able to do even one single wide-grip one. Been going beastmode in my training these last 4 months and just found out yesterday I can now do 4 consecutive wide-grip ones. Feels so good.

Spoiler

muscle-ups by next summer.

Attaboy! Nice work.

How fucked up am I going to get constantly drinking whey with lactose while being lactose intolerant? My stomach is doing flips right now.

Any suggestions for decent lactose free protein?

Poultry, beef, pork and seafood really does have all the protein you need. Shakes are nice, but not necessary.

Fucked.

Let me tell you a little story, I shit 6 times Tuesday.

 

[Psychotext]

Isolate is pretty much lactose free isn't it?

But yeah, you really don't need shakes.

Look at the ingredients. Especially for lactase. That should help you with digestive problems with milk-based protein products. Otherwise you can look towards plant/soy/egg protein powders.

 

[Psychotext]

Idiots at work have completely drained the life out of me. Training session should be interesting tonight. =/

 

[FallingEdge]

not like M1nion but I did get 1x3 @ 290 on flat bench, third rep was struggle

Yeah I am kind of sensitive about those stuff, maybe I'm just making assumptions in this case.

I gotcha. There is no ill will, but if a body part is lagging, we'll tell you. Goals and all that.

#TeamNoCalves here

18" arms
16" calves

:X

18.5" arms
17" calves

I think your calves are suppose to be the same size as your arms or otherwise, you have an imbalance.

hard times, daddah

 

[alternade]

I just don't see how else to get to 280g protein a day without them I usually only take them after workout but thats right before bed and I wake up with a shitty ass.

Definitely going to look into egg or plant variety

How much do you weigh? You only need between 0.8 / 1.0 grams per pound of bodyfat. Anything over that is overkill (for the most part)

You're a mass monster.

Small calves make my legs look bigger, think they're still around 28". I'm 205 right now and don't want any of it going to my calves, if they could be smaller they would be. All mass to the ass!

I even caught two IFBB pros, male and female, mirin my ass a while back.

 

[Szu]

Fucked.

You're making it way too easy for ass jokes.

 

[alternade]

280lbs, 6'2", somewhat muscular but could lose 30-40 lbs

i'm also 6'2 so they still look small, 235 lbs or so

ain't that impressive

Yes, tell us more about your non-problems.

 

[Psychotext]

For a second I thought that was your calf size.

 

[MrToughPants]

You're a giant. I'm 5'9-10 205lbs

Calves ain't real bro

 

[BumRush]

280lbs, 6'2", somewhat muscular but could lose 30-40 lbs

You could get away with 220 grams, although yeah, that's still a lot.

Have a ground Turkey and egg omelette in the morning. We're talking 70+ grams of protein.

 

[Cooter]

Oh you guys want funky muscle size comparisons? My forearms and calves are the same size. 14.5"

 

[Szu]

Dammit, I'm trying to get a decent cut started. And I find out that it's Restaurant Week here in NY.
