Incline DB benched 100x6!!! That ties my all-time PR. I think i weigh heavier than the last time i did it though

Binged today again. Freakin halal guys...

Squatted 315x5 as well. Been about... a year since i was at that weight? Also RDL’d 405x5 earlier this week. PR is 445x6 i think, somewhere around there

I cant believe squat singles of 405 used to be my bread and butter. What the heck. Thats so unreal to me. Not trying to say its impressive, but rather just the fact that it feels so out of reach for me right now yet i used to be at that level. It feels unreal that i used to do it.

Got some more food pics    lazy to upload and post now. 2:34am, time for an hour or so of sleep. Had too much tea.

Good Job Man. You are more consistent then me.
Man. I am unable to do all that. But it's good to see that it's helping.

Which part looks tough for you? Are you referring to having just a small iftar before maghreb and you just go all out on the food or what lol


Weighed in at a dry fasted 192lbs yesterday, or maybe 193lbs i forget
Crazy how much water weight one can actually hold

Guys how do i stop binge eating
This is ridiculous
Pretty much un-did my cut

Lol damn i make a lot of typos. Lots of times they are grammar errors and really just make me look like i dont know english! Especially while texting. So eg the d is next to the s, so at times ill accidentally change the tense of a word. “He has saves the game” instead of “he has saved the game,” etc.

I have more food porn on my phone. Keto pizzza, lots of different greek yogurt combos. Greek yogurt with fig preserves and crushed cashews is heavenly. In the fridge i have greek yogurt with toasted oats n black seed, and honey right now. Greek yogurt with honey, banana, and granola is another tasty combo. Oh and also greek yogurt, strawberry preserves, and black seed
Just freakin love greek yogurt. Good casein before bed

Nah that's not specific to IF.

What are you referring to here

figure i should post something in here every now and then

finished a cut very nicely, bottomed out at 182.0lbs which i haven't been since high school! I was also very dry (as in, did a full water fast the day before, and then a dry fast on the day of my weigh-in). next week i binged. cutting a little this week to re-do that, and doing a slow lean bulk. currently at like 188lbs ish. Hard to really gauge my weight since i do a lot of fasting, both water fasting and dry fasting. freakin love fasting.

love using full day fasts for cutting. the benefits are amazing. i even did a ~65hour fast to finish off my cut with a couple of ~14hr dry fasts included in there. you don't even get that hungry. helps me sleep very well, too. it's amazing. minimal strength loss and i love not having to cut for months at a time.

lifts are like... squat 295x5, RDL 385x5, incline db bench 90x8 (pr is 100x6, goal is 100x10),
i miss playing basketball. i gotta find a qualified PT near me, get some MRIs of my knees, and take this SERIOUSLY. my cardio sucks man. i'm 26 now and i should start caring about cardio.

Whats my goal now? why do i lift? tbh, i just want to stay looking good and be healthy. i also hate having a fat face. after a certain bodyweight it's like boom my face is fat and bloated and it's a huge difference.

 my target strength levels squat 405x1, db incline bench 100x10, rdl 495x1, chin up maybe +100x5. if my knees seriously heal up, maybe ill go kingfish and just work back up to a 455 squat like i used to have and work on that 40" standing vert. but it's not so important to me anymore. would be cool as hell though.

thinking of doing some kind of martial arts in the future, God willing. men are the protectors and maintainers of women, and i need to get on that. i have the job part down (not a crazy salary but enough for me) and the physique, but i've never been in a fight in my life lol


work has been real good to me. been having a lot of work from home projects. got hotspot on my phone, i work on my laptop while driving with my friend, or local dunking donuts, sometimes i log in to check my mail while at the gym eating my preworkout clif bar at the table, etc. not having to commute saves so much time, and wakign up at 5:30am daily on top if that is just amazing. i wake up and have a few hours to kill before i have to sign on. can even take a mid-day nap as part of my lunch break without anyone knowing.

been really slacking on learning my arabic, but i'm picking it up here and there very slowly. very cool to listen to the dawn prayer recitation and understand some things here and there. what a sick language (at least the standardized Arabic is). i could go on and on about the very basics of the root system and how even individual letters have characteristics, so beast. i think i posted before about how when i started to pray 5x a day, all of a sudden i didn't need as much sleep. wide awake by 7am -- not just awake, but like fully functioning awake on 6hrs of sleep (unusual for me). i was guessing that the change was due to entering a deep sleep much quicker. i got a sleep study done for suspected sleep apnea and they discovered that within three minutes of falling asleep i was entering REM. They want to test me for narcolepsy now lol. kind of confirms my guess of falling into deep sleep very quickly, but to be fair i dont have this data on me from before praying 5x/day



some meals i've been having recently, home cooked:

some beef patties with olive oil, spinach, mushrooms, onions, salt pepper paprika cayenne, then i threw in some eggs on top and melted provolone and gouda in:





home made halal guys, thats cauliflower rice in there (tastes amazing) with some veggies and idn what spices. got the sauce from halal guys, this thing tasted incredible, probably better than the famous cart itself:



Then my other friend came over and melted some cheese on top and seasoned it more... the cheese melted even more afterward (not pictured):



meatballs stuffed with cheese, aka meatbombs. also some zuchini salad, tastes so freaking good:



steak with provolone and parm crust, cauliflower rice and avocado:





i don't eat like this every day. usually its a protein shake, some greek yogurt combos: fig preserves + crushed cashews, honey + granola + banana, strawberry preserves + black seeds, and some eggs with a bunch of random stuff thrown in

What's the consensus on IF while bulking? I'm looking at a ~2000 calorie weekly surplus (slow bulk)

Is it better for putting on lean body mass while bulking?

I love IF while cutting or maintaining weight, but not sure about bulking
