I’m with Euro here, how the hell did this thing get necroed and by all people Steyr?
I suppose while on topic, about the time Euro posted this I was driving old farts nuts at the gym, they were bragging about losing weight and I was sitting there going, “Hell, I gained 15 pounds since I started here.” Granted I was 30-40 years their junior but even I don’t think I was in the 3500 calorie diet point, at least I don’t think I was. Most of it at like 10 at night. This past summer though has been a bit rough, have been a little bit off my game and was laid up for a bit, just now getting spring back in the step.
I spent an entire year literally sitting on my ass (For real, I couldn’t walk) and eating Taco Bell and I lost 20 pounds. How the **** does that work? And how do people get to be 400lbs? Gaining weight has to be harder than losing it.
I’m 6’0" and fluctuate b/w 165-175. Depends on if I’m running mucho, lifting heavy, dropping for a BJJ tourney, etc.
Are you sure you are eating as much as you think you are? With two kids under 5, I can easily miss meals. Maybe your caloric intake isn’t quite as much as you think.
Well either it a sign of the end times, or shit just ****ed up. At this point, either is a good possibility. At least we all getting some much needed laughs out of it.
I haven’t a clue. I really don’t. Like Steyr said, maybe loss of muscle, likely the only reason I haven’t put any weight on since I have been pretty inactive lately, but who knows. Maybe you just one of those freaks. Look at it this way, could be worse, instead of Eurodriver they could be calling your ass doublewide.
Euro is likely sexing it off and he refuses to acknowledge just how much poon he’s pulling.
Laying on the couch and eating Taco Bell, but "servicing 6 to 8 vacationers a day can wear you out. Thus the loss of calories, it doesn’t help that at the end of the video he ask’s "Would you like some Sour Creme with that? Euro-porn.com.
Just sayin’
I had the same type issue throughout my 20’s. 6’2ish barefoot and 215lbs. Couldn’t gain anymore weight. Could get stronger…not bigger.
Fast forward to 30 years old…the hair on top of my head fell back thru the follicles and came out my ears and nose, and I eventually gained 40 lbs. [emoji52]
As much of a curse my ability to get fat or get to get big muscle is for me, it’s also nice blessing. Saw a kid trying to gain weight in the gym 155 lbs early last year… he wants to be bigger (I’m 235 right now with a 32"waist). Saw him last month. He was like damn… Dude… Your not that fat anymore? How did you get so big? Of course,I was shitty about it and said your still skinny…lol… He said I can’t get bigger… I say don’t eat like a princess and start lifting like a man… Purely in jest… Poor ****er… I felt bad afterwards cause I knew I hurt his feelings by the look on his face.
So I stopped my Arnold press, and went back over to where he was and apoligized. I didn’t mean to be a dick. He seemed better after that and I shot the shit with him for a minute. Asked him about his eating habits.
He wasn’t eating enough. He needs more food. More good food. Meat, rice, veggies, real food. Told him to try at least 200 grams protein a day. I said so five chicken breasts or cans a tuna a day at least. Bowl of rice every time too. Eat 6-8 meals a day… He said I can’t. So I said you want to get big or not dude? You didn’t win the genetic lottery for big. Just like I didn’t win for skinny. Deal with it.
I feel bad for him. He wants something but doesn’t have the money for knowledge or a nutritionist. I can relate to not knowing what the hell your doing cause I was there myself once.
So the moral if this story is eat M’fer… If you can’t gain, eat more.
I did the calculations without my reading glasses. I was dividing the first two, subtracted and multiplied and ended up with (-632). Holy crap, I should be in a casket!
Euro, did you ever gain the weight you strived for in the past four years?
No. I’m probably the (or one of the) tallest guy(s) on M4C and I’m not even 200
I have a thread on here (my whole life is on M4C…) where I drank a gallon of whole milk every day for a month. I shot up to like 220 or something. I started destroying squats and lifted real heavy and my thighs and ass got huge, but chicks started telling me I had a “glisten” on my face and that I constantly smelled bad so I stopped.
And then I shrank to like 178 in a few weeks.
I don’t want to be fat, but I’m sick of going to the beach with gymnast chicks who have traps and calves and abs bigger than me. Maybe I should start doing the balance beam.
It is what it is. Not every man can be fill-in-the-blank.
I am 5’8", 190ish, just weeks shy of turning 48. At my peak of fitness I could not run faster than a 7:45ish mile; and no matter how much I lifted or how I ate, I was never going to look like a body builder. I could get big, but not “defined.” Just not in my genes.
I’m 6’-3" and bounce between 185-190 @ 38 years. My best one mile was 5:27 on the day of my 35th birthday on an indoor track. Everyone in my family is fat and near or is a diabetic. I’m the oddball, but its not because of any gift, its all effort. I notice that all of my fluff seems to be stored around the middle in the spare tire zone. Diet is such a huge part. So much more than any workout.
But, genetics is the biggest portion…by far. Unless you want to start doping, you need to make your peace with your reality. Everything to bust past that genetic limitation is illegal.
Guys get the Adonis complex where they think they need to look like fitness models. Its just NOT the reality for most of the population.
At 60+ if I want to lose weight I starve for two weeks and get maybe 1 pound. If I want to gain weight, I walk down the pastry isle of a 7-11, just browsing is good for a pound or two before I get out the door. Haven’t been in a fast food joint in over a decade because I can’t afford new clothes.
Wait until you are 30s… wtf? I could eat a whole pack of pasta every night and still lose weight back then.
Everything you have heard about getting old is true… except most don’t tell you the stuff that would depress you
