Hollyweirders are unique in that they look good on camera.

It's their talent.

At my heaviest (when I was young) I weighed around 250 lbs. at 6' 1"and my bodyfat was probably 24%.  BFD.  I no longer wanted to be on the dais and felt good.  Strong too but to be honest carrying that much weight was simultaneously easy and oddly taxing.   I could still run as I had not yet been injured.   

I think bodyfat is needed but not to excess.  Even too much muscle, as in today's competitors weighing 250 at 5' 6" is unhealthy and ridiculous looking.

I want to wear that shirt so bad in public it almost makes me want to become a fat fuck.  I would buy 10 of them and wear them all the time.

Good for comparison actually thanks. I think I'm holding more water than I should but my diet is LOL diet? For lunch today I had a giant cup o noodles and 14 chicken nuggets with syrup on them. I eat waffles and eggs almost every day sometimes twice a day (I should call them sticks of butter with bits of waffles swimming in syrup lol)

ah what to do what to do...if I competed now lets say I started prep tomorrow I have ~30lbs of fat to lose I think. I would be in shape around mmm 195-200 realistically. So if I can get to 275, I would diet down to 230ish. So 275 is my goal, and i'll go from there (assuming I can get that heavy but my appetite comes and goes, some days I am so hungry I want to vomit and I get 9 meals in some days like today I barely eat twice. I kind of go with what my body is telling me, and I have no problem gaining weight. but 275 is way out there for me, I don't know if I can sustain the food intake to keep it going. might have to do weight gainers when I can afford to.)

also my backup gym is apparently drying up on me. I got so pissed when I found out yesterday I chucked my phone at the wall and it did not survive. I was on track to hit 405 on squats Monday and I am super pissed and a bit depressed because I don't have a barbell or a squat rack or power rack here at the house. im really stressing, I had been 110% that I was going to compete this year and then dislocated my shoulder Christmas eve, down for 6 weeks, got 5 weeks of training in and gained 30lbs and I was hospitalized and was down another 4 weeks. got 2-3 weeks in the gym and wham my gym closed. I started lifting at my friends shop wham the city came down on him and he won't let anyone there that's not on payroll. when does this bullshit end????? ffs only in the last month was I able to do back squats because my shoulder hurt too much (ya'll who never had shoulder problems have  no idea, it's a blessing to be able to rotate your shoulders back like you do when you do back squats trust me. I never realized until I COULDN'T FCKING DO THEM what a blessing squats are)

but I have faith in God and I know He is in control and eventually things will work themselves out according to His Will and I am blessed to be alive and with a body that can workout so im not tripping too too badly.

Always go by the mirror...not the scale. :)


A mirror is more accurate that a camera because:

- it's life sized
- three dimensional
- virtually infinite resolution and color
- real time motion
- light rays come off your body and go into someones eyes in the same way that light comes off your body and bounces off the mirror and goes back into your eyes, you are seeing a life sized 3D recreation of yourself standing behind the mirror.

Camera:

- 2D
- limited resolution and color
- lense distortion
- color distortion
- lighting distortion
- image shown on a screen which adds more distortion

The downside to the mirror is that the image is flipped horizontally,.

Will do. Also I remember Shawn Ray saying in his video he always used the mirror as his guide not the scale because the image you see looking back at you can't lie or something like that.
