Road to pure alphaness and a 1,600 total

[Brandaddy]

Are people commenting on your weight loss? I saw someone the other day I hadn't seen in forever and they said I looked like I lost weight. A big part of me hates hearing that, lol.

Haha! Not really, I've had people say I look really lean though. I wear a jacket at work, and loose dress pants so it would be kind of hard to really notice a change in my physique.

Yesterday I did take off my jacket and was in just a button up polo shirt and my bicep vein was showing through my shirt sleeve. Lol. Unfortunately I was in my office all by myself so I couldn't show it off. Ha!

Weight yesterday was 194.2

you carb up?

 

[Brandaddy]

you carb up?

Yeah. I finally shed off the winter bulk fat, so I went back into a slight surplus. Not enough to really put on much weight, but at least fill back out and get some strength back.

P.S. I came to the conclusion 83kg was a bad idea, so I decided to just stick with 198lbs like I originally planned.

How tall are you again? 5'9?

Good call on not going down to the concentration camp survivor weight class.

Haha. It sounded like a good idea until my lifts started going down and my arms started looking smaller.

I know those feels. Ego crushing.

 

[Brandaddy]

I know those feels. Ego crushing.

It honestly almost made me want to start slamming a gram of test a week and some anadrol to try and get it back. Lol!! Jk...


but not really. I seriously did consider it. Ha.

Today is my day off. I wanted to do deadlifts yesterday, but my calves were so sore that I could barely walk. Lol

 

[Perrin Aybara]

@Brandaddy you all good?

 

[Brandaddy]

Yeah. Everything is good. I actually left my new finance job, and went back to being self employed. I've been workiNg on the road the last couple weeks, so I've been working out in shitty hotel gyms. I finally got back home and don't have to work for another two weeks, so I'll find out yesterday how well I've maintained my strength.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

What made you decide to leave your job and hit the road? Just prefer to be your own boss?

 

[Brandaddy]

What made you decide to leave your job and hit the road? Just prefer to be your own boss?

Yeah. I was getting jerked around a bit. I'm not really used to being bossed around, so it was really starting to piss me off.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Yeah, I don't care for it much either. As long as they're not rude or disrespectful I can tolerate it though.

 

[Brandaddy]

They were definitely rude and disrespectful. At least I thought so. Lol
