It’s awesome seeing you in the zone like this. I agree that without music the mind muscle connection is much better.

Fasted weight 172.8

I’ve eliminated social media for my self this week.( other then the forum because u fuckers are cool) I amproud of my self. I didn’t delete accounts or apps, but simply have not been on it at all. That shit is toxic. Sitting there scrolling watching reels. Like I literally feel like a potatoe when I’m using social media. I don’t focus on anything. I don’t pay attention to anything. This was a healthy move. I will pop on Facebook in the morning to check for events to go to but that’s it. I don’t respond to messages or notifications. It’s soooooo nice. 10/10 would recomend

I’ve been training the last 2 weeks, not using my head phones for music. Such a better connection to my muscle without headphones on. I feel way more in tune with what I’m doing. It seems to help with cardio too. Music can send me to good places then bad places in a matter of seconds. I love music though but for my training right now I’m doing without it.

After weeks of cook top! I finally got it and installed it today. Had to cut the counter a little but that was the hardest part. Easy peasy. So glad I don’t have to microwave my egg whites any more

Looking pretty lean bro, Keep up the good work!!

Almost! Wish I could lose the love handles. lol I feel like that’s where all my fat goes.

Clen cooked mine off. But soon as I drink couple glasses of water you can tell a difference in the lower back area.. next cut going to give Slu a try instead of Clen.

No clen needed at this point. He's going into a lean growth phase and throwing in Clen wouldn't make sense. If we were to go sub 10% than it would be an option. It's all about goals and the tools needed.

And Clen is 10x than SLU. You people and SLU, I don't get it.

Haha just playing, I just want to try slu, heard good things that’s all. Wasn’t following along, didn’t know what phase you was going into

I'm trying to save you money. The stuff is super weak. No randomized human trials and have had plenty of competitors want to try it. Found nothing from it. Clen on the other hand is tried and true. The evidence we have are a bunch of dad bod guys say "I feel it working." Whatever that means.

Nick is a rep for Chase Irons who sells it. Coincidence he started talking about it as soon as he was hired.

And you nor I are Nick Walker.

Speaking of goals coach…… I’m looking for your thoughts and honesty here,
i think id like to try and compete before im 40 if i can put on some size and shape before then. I was talking with my girl about it last night. It would be cool to step on stage before I’m to old. I love this sport I should embrace it in its entirety .

 

[Meetketchup]

I was actually going to ask you this in the near future. I have plenty of thoughts and let’s have this conversation via email.

I’ll be 56 in November. It’s just a number. I plan to defy the number and see what happens.

It’s Slu-pp-332, supposed to trick your body into thinking your doing cardio to help burn calories, may have other health benefits also.. how old are you Halfi?

Me too man! I’m really just trying to get as big as possible before I’m to old haha.. right now I’d like to get to 240ish like 12% bf if it’s even possible..

I’m in the same boat man. My clock is ticking I feel like to put size on. I’d love to be 240 lean . I been saying it for a while now. A man can dream lol

 

[BigD9795]

I don’t care how old you are, we all want to be as big as possible. And I get that the older you get there will be a point of diminishing returns. I feel like I still have hope. I’ve seen some incredible looking 60+ year olds and so I choose to believe it’s possible to still get jacked. But I do wish I had started my journey 20 years ago. That’s for sure.
