I'll reply once in this thread even though I dont want to.
I completely quit being the loud mouth threatening asswipe I used to be because, after seeing the constant posts made by fatpanda cutting people down and being arrogant and loud, it made me realize what an insecure tool I must have looked like making posts in that manner. His posts made me realize I can and am doing better in life by just shutting my mouth, living life and not being such a dick on getbig to others. Instead of making me feel worse, his posts have led to me feeling unmeasurably better about myself and been a massive contribution to being a better person on here and in life. Yeah, I am bipolar and some people might say it can't last, but all I can do is prove it by being better and feeling better about myself each and every day. I make photoshops on here about, and if they offend a member I will immediately take them down. Maybe people havent noticed, but over the last few weeks I have toned down on here and it will stay that way, I like it this way now.
As far as the gym goes, obviously what he says has less than zero meaning or bearing on my training. All I do is bust my ass at the gym to the level I did 15 years ago each and every time. Its not done to outdo him or anyone else anymore. Its done for me, my mental and physical health and overall improvement. I used to be a fairly large, muscular guy and my measurements are just a reflection of who I used to be coming back. It affects me zero percent what he thinks, all I can do is keep busting my ass at the gym and benefit from that hard work.
Other than writing this informing people on getbig of where I stand, I will not respond to fatpanda on getbig, it just is so irrelevant in my life.
p.s. ,...........sorry for the long winded speech
edit: just a little subnote--I noticed he said 5 weeks,...I have been back in the gym for 3 months now. So my changes have been over that time frame, not 5 weeks.
