Forget bodyweight, although kudos to Darren, who feels like a dying remnant of a once very funny site, have any other old farts (who used to carry some competitive muscle) noticed how quickly you can swell up even though you don't train / hormone like you used to?
I sit at 235 eating 1-2 meals a day, when I train hard for a month I'll go to 245, and when I take an extended 2-3 week holiday, train high volume and high frequency, and eat a lot I swell up like I'm on dbol by 30lbs in 3 weeks. Based on how quickly that weight drops right back to the starting point (3 -4 weeks) I don't think I put more than 7lbs of blubber on, which means a lot gets turned into glycogen and water retention. I look and feel like I'm doing a cycle without the sex drive bump.
It's like my old man muscles, because they have been there before (and were there a long time) are more receptive than even 20 yrs ago, when I was in my mid 20s.
