i was just on a short vacation where i ate mostly horribly so i dont feel like it's right for me to post an update anytime soon lol. i think one thing that i'm happy with is that my alcohol consumption has reduced significantly in the past 5 years. now i really only drink a few beers a week at most. it's a rare day that i have more than 2 in a sitting. don't like how it makes me feel the next day and also empty calories.

I keep forgetting to ask in this thread next time Mike drops in on it, wondering how he maintains bulk if he only eats once a day that seems crazy.

In regards to drinking I always see all these memes about drinking in your 30’s+ and how bad the hang overs are
I learned a couple years ago the importance of being hydrated lol.. drink a glass or two of water every beer and pound back some more before bed, in the 25 years of drinking I’ve never felt better than in the last few lol

If you're drinking a lot taking one of those Liquid IV powder pouches after seems to help quite a bit as to how well you feel in the morning. I don't get shitfaced very often anymore but the the worst hangovers I have are usually when I don't put some electrolytes and food in me before going to bed.

I lift 5 days a week, alternating each week between heavy and hypertrophy (less weight higher reps for the joints, we're getting old). I'm not trying to get bigger anymore, concentrating more on trying to stay lean, it gets harder each year in your late 30s.
You'd be surprised how much the body can retain its size once you've settled it on.
I'm looking to drop 5-8lbs over the next month or so to get ready for a boy's trip down to Columbia in January, this was my fat ass over the last 2 weekends.

Is Dark going to post a before and after of his weight after his cruise?
I'm genuinely curious how much he packs on.

Fuck sakes mikey. Dats incredible.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chinaman who’s that big and has that kind of definition. Just not genetically possible. Either you look like Bruce Lee aka stick thin and then easily ripped or a giant panda bear looking motherfucker like me

This was after the cut from 235 to 205lbs before I tore my pec 3 months ago.
I can add 10-20 more lbs but I've never met another Asian dude over 6'1 that was as big as Mike. Other than one guy but was lifting for 4 years and on the sauce for 2. https://imgur.com/a/k18KYET https://imgur.com/a/fVuVY4y https://imgur.com/a/MyuxshU

Ok I'll bite. I wrote it out in the workout training thread, but the tl;dr version:
Worked out casually for years since my mid 20s but mostly focused on strength less on hypertrophy. At my best i got up to 160lbs at 5'8" but didn't focus on aesthetics.
During COVID until last year I was pretty much in maintenance mode, but as I got older maintenance mode was slowly deteriorating as I approach my late 30s.
With work being much more balanced and flexible with hours, I decided to try to go on a full on intentional (dirty) bulk/cut cylce late last year in time for this summer, starting at ~155lbs, focusing on hypertrophy and size vs strength and a much more intentional program.
I maxed out to 172lbs with water weight by around March this year, April onwards I started on my cut. This is how far I got as of yesterday, at 158.5lbs.
Given this was just maybe 9 months of work, I'm decently satisfied with the results so far being my first attempt at size, especially given I am definitely not eating clean on weekends (rather, Thurs evenings to Sundays) and still have a hard time giving up the alcohol (less beer but still on vodka sodas). I probably would be way more defined if I cut out the booze.
Looking forward to same time next year after applying what I've learned this first time around.

My personal rule when going on a cruise is to never use the elevator, lol
Usually there’s too much of a wait anyway.

Going up and down 5 pounds is pretty easy, it doesn't mean you just gained all fat. I can put 5 pounds on the scale in one night if I just eat a bunch of carbs all day, most of its water weight and will go away in a day or two if you eat normally after.

Especially after a round of golf or pickleball, you burn 1,200 - 2,500 calories. Perfect time to pop an edible and dome AYCE + pint of ice cream + durian milkshake

Gerbs, I'm 5'9 btw.
Dark, I wouldn't sweat 3-5 lbs, the body goes up and down that amount quite normally from day to day.
You more want to deduce an overall average during a longer period of time.
