[Guitarman]

Grats Ksan! Keep it up! Must've felt amazing to put on the smaller size pant for the first time.

For sure!

Biggest thing was the dresses. I had to get something to wear to the students' prom, and I found out that XL was too big on me now. Usually I hate hate hate trying on dresses, but I found a maxi dress that worked really well for me.

Hurt my ankle so I couldn't go running at Fossil tonight, so I hopped on my bike instead



Only issue with biking is that I've been doing it so long, my legs give out before I can ever get winded. Kept a 20+ mph pace and came home with my heart rate under 100 bpm

[Zetanio]

Sounds like you need to star in a terrible movie about fixed gear biking in Manhattan now.

[Cream Soda]

Fuck that. I like my gears lol

[Darlantan]

Officially down 20 lbs now!

Went from an XL to L on shirts and dresses.

Went from a size 16 pants to a 14/12.

:D

Glad to see you are still at it and it was not only for the sake of that competition... must have been nice to see it already resulted in one less clothing size! Keep it up and us posted, please.

How in the world? When I do that kind of pace I similarly wont get winded but legs die eventually but yeah my heartrate goes to like 180... hell just reading you do that probably bumped me to 100 bpm lol

[thetruepandagod]

can get my heart rate up to 220 with 5min of light cardio.

P. sure i'm gonna die soon.

Hell I walk into the gym @160.

amphetamines.

[thetruepandagod]

amphetamines.

Spoiler: show

Heart rate still spikes past 220 during bike or run even on days I skip amphetamines/pwo. Resting heart rate was 110 when I got it checked last time. My mom's being in the mid 40's and my dads being around 58bpm.

[Guitarman]

you on an EC stack? or something else.

[thetruepandagod]

No.

[Boyiee]

Do you see a cardiologist? Lol

Back over 315 bench, closing back in on 4 plate squat and 5 plate deadlift. All while dropping body fat and about 10 lbs. I'm guessing it's mostly muscle memory. I have probably about 5 more pounds (195) to go before I'm where I want to be body fat wise. Should get me between 8-10 mm belly skinfolds.


Next goal 4 5 6 plate bench,squat,deadlift and 210 lean? Idk if that's realistic. Maybe 3 4 5 plate plus a 25 lol.

[Darlantan]

hahaha Glad to see you back hitting the iron Gustave. Fuck that 25, I'd rather shoot for the moon and go for that 4 5 6 plate! All of that while just looking at the next 1lb improvement. Small steps but the ceiling high.

[Osede]

No.

Could try to stop all caffeine related product, include coffee and tea.

This might just heart burn issue

So preface my sinuses have been really dry , eyes feeling funy and stuffy ear.

Today I was finishing up front wiyh 275 x3 with a 2 second pause at the bottom. I normally exhale inhale quickly at the bottom but I just held on my last rep. Once I finished I had a few drops of blood from my nose.

Should I be worried? I'll get my BP checked but it's never been an issue. I take multi, joint support, fish oils, aminos daily. Beta alanine , l arginine , creatine preworkout and caffene sometimes if I miss my afternoon coffee.

I figure it's a combo of not breathing on my last rep and dry sinuses. Just wondering what you guys think. I'm trying to get to 405 front and 495 back and I don't want this to become a common thing.

[Hushigoshi]

Dry sinus and high internal pressure. It's very common in power lifting.

[Ghost_Wheel22]

Sounds like your valsalva hold coming out of the hole. Definitely possible if your sinuses are already suffering.

Going heavy on DL + valsalva is a fun a quick way to spurt blood out of your nose and pass out for a few seconds.
