Didn't see any bad lifts today but I got annoyed by 2 elderly guys yelling a basic conversation. One guy was on the treadmill and the other guy was just standing next to him but everyone could fucking hear them. Also got scarred by an old man standing buck ass naked with his walker directly in the busiest part of the locker room. No idea why he decided that was a good idea
 
Anyone have good music recommendations? Struggling to dial in for my sets.

Pantera and classic rap (Jay Z and 50 Cent really) are my go to. I guess Type O Negative could work too, since Peter Steele was a big intimidating jacked dude.

I listen to plenty of other music but neither, say, Bob Dylan nor Sleep work well for working out.
 
I need something bouncy and faggoty to lift to like Dance Gavin Dance.
Can’t relate to new year troubles. I motorboated my wife’s tits then stepped outside off my front porch to OHP for 40 minutes in the squat rack.
 
Does anybody have tips for getting that final few % of bodyfat down? I started at around 27% and I'm at 17% right now but I'm making a very slow progress than what I want (used to be doing 1.5lbs of loss a week). Someone suggested ketosis and I have a doomsday bunker worth of beef I need to get rid of in my fridge so thats my first thing I'm going to do.

Obviously calories in, calories out but my issue is that I sometimes binge and eat 2600-3000 calories when my TDEE is 2600~ and my daily limit is 1800 calories. This usually happens due to eating at the wrong times and having nothing for the end of the day or I eat a bunch of low-protein stuff that doesn't satiate me.

I don't drink any calories besides protein shakes and have been pretty good now about making my own food instead of eating fast food like a retard which I attribute to my success so far.

I say this with love, kiwi bro, but you are getting dangerously close to eating disorder territory.

Make your own food. Eat healthy food that you enjoy.

If you’re not overweight, don’t worry about it.

I'm moreso looking to drop down so I can see muscle results in real-time with my first bulk, but I do agree 1.5lbs/wk and such is aggressive. Do you think its time for a lean bulk then?

I did a dream bulk like a retard in 2024 and went from 170-200lbs with lots of liquor and minimal gym time and ended up just getting fat and retarded so I've been trying to fix it.

My goal is 10-12% BF. Probably 12% BF because I can't deal with this weight loss shit anymore lol

Ketosis will rob your muscles of glycogen and water. You'll look worse and perform worse.
 
I think I've encountered peak January. Or nesting behavior. Or something.

Imagine a squat rack platform. On the platform are 2 stacks of 4 aerobics steps and a bridge piece arranged in a bench formation. In front of the bench (on the platform, not the rack) is a straight bar with 225 on it, and the bar has a squat shoulderpad on it for some reason. On the other side of the bench are two 45s and and 2 dumbbells (iirc 25s?).

Sitting on this bench is a woman deeply immersed in her phone. I was there for half an hour or so after this setup materialized and never did get to see what she actually did with any of it. If you're going to say hip thrusts, there was a completely unoccupied dedicated hip thrust machine roughly 6 feet from her, so I seriously doubt it.

Positive note, they're replacing the sauna with something that goes way hotter. YES.

I'm 12-15% most of the time. I have no idea what you're trying for physique-wise but personally I wound up breaking the plateau at 18-20% by just stuffing myself on lean protein and vegetables and going harder on my exercise, so if you're just caring about bf% and not explicitly aiming for a specific weight class for a sport, give yourself a break, you'll feel a ton better and perform a lot better.

Also basic bitch advice you've probably heard thousands of times but it's really true: low-calorie fiber-dense foods are your friend if you're aiming to not feel hungry on a limited diet; you can make lentils and broccoli taste really good if you prep them right. Recently I've figured out that kale stops being disgusting sandpaper and starts being good fiber filler for shakes if your blender can blend hard enough to really liquefy it. Cheap and filling.
