@pony unless you're short like @ljs you shouldn't be really fat at this point?

@vbabka @pony scales weight is a crap measure in the end, as I have (worked fucking hard for) a reasonable amount of muscle mass so you could say I'm probably equivalent of ~80kg right now if I didn't lift (~90 in reality).

But at my height it's too much :P I want to get down to 70kg which, if I didn't lift would be more like 60...

But in reality the only way to know body fat % is to get a dexa scan literally xraying your fat which I will do soon...

It's all an enormous amount of fun this

can't wait to spend another fucking 8+ months cutting

@ljs @vbabka well, it's one simple measure i have

@pony @vbabka you won't get muscular or athletic unless you really work hard at it it's still good to build some basic level of strength you can be skinny but have some definition

@pony @vbabka honestly resistance training is good for everyone there's no such thing as 'accidentally' getting big haha, I see some _extremely_ slender guys in the gym doing resistance training as well as the man mountain types.

To gain significant muscle you have to eat shit tons of protein, constantly push for muscle hypertrophy, rotate muscle groups, bulk that is eat more calories than you need, then cut if you don't want to be fat and etc. etc.

If you go down the gym and just do a basic resistance workout on top of normal stuff you will get some early nice gains that won't make you big, you'll get healthier and stronger and all is good.

If you want to be arnie-like you have to fucking work insanely hard at it and be very very specific

@pony @ljs @vbabka you know what would be cool? not carrying heavy backpacks. as if bipedalism didn't fuck our backs and skeletons enough

(sorry to randomly bring this up, but it pisses me off every morning, seeing the poor small schoolkids with bags bigger than them. who thought this is a good idea)

@pony @ljs @vbabka i discharge the battery and delete files before i carry my x-line thinkpad so that it's lighter

btw, do you swim? it's the sort of thing that helps you exercise & stretch the tendons and muscles, making your posture better, but is unlikely to significantly contribute to muscle gain

@ljs @pony @vbabka the point is, if something contributes to muscle growth
then it's probably also very difficult

@pony @lkundrak @ljs @vbabka rowing is a pretty nice full body workout. The water and thus "oh shit I need to swim" is optional πŸ˜…

@pony the same here (with the distinction of being most fatty I've ever been). So this thing (in CZ) is relevant for us: https://www.wired.cz/clanky/zemrit-mlady-co-nejpozdeji-to-jde-diky-cinkam
