Just wanted to shout out to all my brothers and sisters in the US and beyond. Have a great holiday(Even for those who don't recognize TG). Its the holiday season and I wanted to wish all of you safe and happy Holidays.

Many thanks. I wish all you guys the best. & I hope you get to spend the holidays with your loved ones.
Unfortunately I have to work but at least I'm being paid what I'm worth today.

You were never much of a bulker, Arnold.
You need to condition your stomach to take in heavy poundage.

The Thanksgiving Feed is one of the things I miss about the US. :'( I'll be making up for it at Christmas.

You need to plan ahead next year...you know overeat for a week before Thanksgiving. Just like training your muscles you gotta train your stomach. ;D

DIV, right now I feel like a million bucks. I've been training fairly hard...I say fairly because I've been working quite a bit of overtime & it's kicked my ass so I've only been hitting the gym twice a week for the past couple weeks.

Unless you have a physical job you shouldn't let work detract from your workouts.
Mental exhaustion can be overcome with some fresh Test and possibly Winstrol.....
That last thing you want to do is reinjure the wrist, though.

Well DIV I got both a mental & physically demanding job. The main reason it's detracting from training is I've been splitting a lot of midnights lately so trying to train, cook dinner, sleep, & get up at 1:45AM is hard.

I think you'd be very surprised as to how much food I can eat at one sitting.
I don't know how we could set it up but if we could I'd make a money wager on it against you and probably anyone here.

I'm not much of a bulker these days at all...so on that I'm guilty as charged.
Even when I was trying to pack in tons of calories I never ate what I would call large meals...just a whole lot of meals. In my bulking prime, I was eating 8 meals every day and having a shake in the middle of the night around 3a.m.

Some what, but not as much as you might think.
I was eating a lot but eating very clean, about 600 calories per meal, with the exception of breakfast which was around 700 calories. So I was eating a little over 5k calories per day.
I managed to stay relatively lean for a bulk, kept my cardio up the whole time.
The fattest I ever got was eating 5-6 meals per day, roughly the same amount of calories as when I was eating 8 and a late night shake.
All that said, I would never eat the 8 meal plus the late night shake schedule again...there is just no need.
These days since I'm not bulking at all but not really trying to diet down...more just trying to get into better and better shape, I take in 5-6 meals per day, somewhere in the 2500-3000 calorie per day range, and am keeping my cardio consistent. I eat two cheat meals each week end.
Goal is ton continue to get into better shape, body fat should continue to drop slowly with my calories in that range. After that, then I'll think about really bulking again...by "Really Bulking" I'm talking about within reason.

Don't you ever get tired of sticking your diet?
If I ever decided to compete and had to diet like a bodybuilder it would be a real shame to go through all of that and only receive a trophy or something of that nature.
Money or Whey Isolate are nice, but I'd prefer a sponsorship and some Pro-Lab t-shirts.

Tired of it? Honestly, no...I really don't even think about it that much.
I'm not near as nuts about it all as I used to be...nuts as in compulsive to where other areas of my life suffer.
As for a trophy...I could care less right now. I don't know what I'll do in the future, I have no plans right now. If I decide to really diet down again for something it will be more about personal satisfaction then anything else.
Think about it this way. You enjoy moving the largest amounts of weights possible. Do you actually get anything out of that, i.e. money, fame, power, etc? Obviously no, you do it for your own personal satisfaction.
I know you might say that you get actual functional strength and that's great. I get the same thing, it's just a different approach and different goals. In the end it boils down to the same kind of thing.

Functional strength is important in life, as it tends to deter people from ever perstering you.
You're right though, it's all about what's important to you.
If I had genetics like Sergio Oliva, I'd probably reconsider, but I'm stuck with a powerlifter's build akin to a baby Cuter, so.......
I think it's funny to be knows as "baby Cutler", you really see how people's perspectived are shaped.

I agree, functional strength is important...can't argue that. But if someone is lifting more along the BB style, if they're doing it correctly they should build some solid functional strength. Of course sometimes even a vast quantity of functional strength means nothing, I say this because of something that happened here where I live a couple weeks ago that still blows my mind.
Two 17yr old high school boys had been arguing and fighting for weeks and then their two dads got involved. Both of their fathers are in the late forties, one owns a restaurant here in town, the other works as a building contractor.
They argued on the phone and then set up a meeting to fight it out...these are grown men mind you and men who most in our town would consider good citizens. The restaurant owner is what I would call just an average size guy; the other guy isn't huge but he's got some good meat on him and in a face to face fight I'd put my money on him all day long.
The two met up for the fight. With their two sons standing there and about 50 other high school age kids, the two dads got out of their cars and met face to face.
They stood there for all of about 30 seconds yelling at each other, before one punch could be thrown, the average sized restaurant owner pulled out a snubbed nose .38 and shot the other dad in the chest twice...dead on the spot.
Just a crazy story. I still agree functional strength is great, i enjoy what I've got...but a bullet is a bullet, no matter who you are.

I don't think anyone's going to argue that a bullet will trump muscle every time.
Most of us don't walk around with guns, though....
In Phoenix, it's legal to carry a concealed weapon with a permit, and I've considered it, but never been in a situation where I regret not having one.
It might be because I live in the suburbs and my only dangerous enounters are with suburban milfs who don't know how to drive SUV's but I'm not the type to get in to confrontations.
People generally get out of my way for things......in the gym, in the grocery store, wherever......
People these days are non-confrontational and soft, IMO.
If you have have a decent amount of muscle, people are very wary of bothering you......

Maybe it's a side affect of living in the dirty south. For the most part people are very nice here, but we also have an abundant amount of rednecks. All cities have rednecks but in the south it's just more amplified.
Me, I've had a gun put directly on my forehead, I was 19. The guy was the stereotypical redneck to a tee. About 280lbs, muscle covered in a thick layer of fat. Fishnet hat, beard, overalls with no shirt on underneath, and drunk beyond belief.
When that gun made it's way to my forehead, I kept my cool and didn't show my fear, but inside I'm not going to lie...I was very concerned and that's putting it lightly.
I had a gun too, but it was in my hand down to my side when he pulled his. To this day I really do believe that idiot was about to shoot me. My friends are what saved me. There were 8 of us in all, we all had guns. He was so drunk though that it took him a few minutes for this to register and to realize all 7 of the other guns were pointed at him. Once he realized he ran off like a little girl pissing his pants...but I'm shocked to this day that he didn't shoot me, but hey, at least he would've been mowed down too...not that, that really helps me lol!
I've had a gun pointed at me one other time in my life, that was at a party when I was in college. Big fight broke out and one thing led to another. Anyway, the other story is my favorite...not favorite as in I actually liked it, just saying.

I've never had a gun pulled on me.....
After serving in the Army, guns don't scare me.........used too many of them to worry about death.
I don't think you can live your life fearing anything, I don't.
All I know is that I will go down fighting and I'm taking them with me.
That's my nature....

There's nothing wrong with fear - it's natural response. The real key is not letting our fears control us. It's ok to be afraid - it just depends on the time & place. We all have fears no one is immune to it. We're people not robots.

Good post Rim. Fear is very healthy. Keeps you from doing things you shouldn't.. or evaluating something you have to do so you get the best possible outcome. Pointing a gun at someone is easy but pulling the trigger, getting caught.... that's what scares most people. Everyone has fears admitted or not. LN

When I was active duty we fought Marines constantly.....
They were scrawny kids, and they didn't know how to fight one on one.
Those guys fight in packs like dogs.
I was always stronger than the Marines I saw..........all the running killed their LBM.

I have known many very large Marines, so all the running does not destroy LBM. You are right about one thing though we do fight like rabbid dogs. Thats why the Germans started calling us "Devil Dogs". Most of the running is done in Boot camp and MOS school. When you get into the fleet its not as intense, unless you have a CO who is a running psycho.
