Lol. That episode of the simpsons made absolutley no sense to us as Australians. Literally nothing from that episode is indicitive of our country, including its central theme of capital punishment (which ironically, is an american thing)

I realise I wasn't the most likable bloke back in the day, man. Don't be mad at yourself. Id also like to crack a stubby with ya (stubby slang for beer)

I'm 5'8"/ 1.72m and hovering around 200lb/ 91 kg, at my strongest I was around 172lb/ 78kg. My goalis to get back to that

At home I have 3 sets of dumbbells, 10-20-30 lb / 4.5-9-13 kg and 2 kettle bells at 35lb and 50lb/ 16 and 23 kg, along with a 4.5 kg medicine ball and a giant rubber band that I use when I can't do seated rows or face pulls.


If your body is like mine, the extra protein won't necessarily be bad, as muscle burns calories just to maintain size. I don't usually get bulky, except for my legs, which have always been huge

I think I might have a similar body type to you, cause the same thing happens to me if I sit around vs putting effort in. Do you have enough equipment at home to do all you need to do? Im probably ingesting around 15 -20mg of creatine per day (5mg 3 times per day) which is kinda scary but apparantly its safe and im only doing it for the first 5 days, then im just gonna stick to 5mg per day.

I have heard of monster milk, but like you, im actually in a cutting phase atm. I have been for about 6 weeks and i've lost 7kg. I also somehow managed to increase my strength too, which is strange. Im looking forward to bulking again but I havnt finished the cut yet and things are slowing down a lot.

I just started using creatine so im still in the loading phase. Apparantly takes a few weeks to notice the changes. Pre-workout is arriving today so im gonna see how I go with that. I go to gym 5 days a week and sometimes I lack energy being on a somewhat calorie defecit diet, so i think it might benefit me in that way.

You still work out now?

The South is the South. Eh. It's whatevs, it's just not home. I'm finally meeting some people I get along with through a catholic group; one that wasn't super legalistic and judgmental, heh. I'll be back home on the 17th and 18th, haha. And yeah, that's a good plan. I'm actually taking classes through Oregon State now, working towards my Bachelor's (Tuition Assistance is a nice perk). Gotta write a paper... starting it has been like pulling teeth, heh.

Is it a black hole? I hear those are hard to get out of. Apparently this base is a black hole.

Heh. I think there'd be at least a few more regrets in m post, if I posted that mess now.

How are you, Peter Pumpkin Eater? I'm still in Arkan-Sass. Going home a little later this month, though. For a month. I still have a bit less than 3 years on this bullshit enlistment that I decided to do, lolol...

Have you ever experimented with pre-workouts?

Mens studies - how to be a man 101.

lmao

I LOL'd. Legit.

Funny how things move forward, isn't it? Thanks to VMs (plus Likes), we're now talking about not having rep any more.

Yeah for whatever reason 90% of the Simpsons clips that don't get removed from YouTube are not in English. I assumed you'd know that bit well enough anyway haha.

These past couple of years I wonder why we let Carlos Gomez go. In Milwaukee he has done really well.

I feel like Wright now is too injury prone. He lands on the DL and then something else happens to him while rehabbing or he returns only to quickly get hurt again. I am feeling like the Mets may need to start looking for a new 3B. He reminds me of Tulo, great when playing - though I view Tulo better - but they are often hurt. Wright's best years were when he had the protection of Beltran and Delgado.

Niese hasn't been doing well these past few starts. I felt we should've took 2 out of 3 or swept the Pirates, felt the same way with this series and so far we lost both games against the Marlins. We're hanging in their but we need to do better if we are to contend. This year may still be a "building" year, we need a great offensive part not and old person like Cuddyer, whose been serviceable. We got a core of young pitching, we now need a core of young position players.

I plan on travelling up to Denver in August to see the Mets at Rockies.
