I admire the willpower! I had everything dialed in, in my 20’s/30’s. Now well into my 40’s I’m way looser with my food intake. I respect the members here young and older that continue to stick to the daily grind of repetitive calorie counting with healthy macros.
It’s not easy and that’s why so many newcomers enter this game wanting to increase the AAS doses before they have the diet portion handled. Basically looking for that magical secret! They’d be amazed how they’d transform if they’d just be consistent eating quality daily macros.
Cage
Earlier this week I sparrd against one of the active fighters in the boxing gym. Opened his lip and put a little bruise on his eye. Not what I usually do, as I don't throw with with a tightly closed fist.
But sometimes these young guys try to take my head off, so I'll touch them up with equal(or more power). So much they had to break us up.
Yesterday we went again, I touched him up in front of his coach the first round.
Next round I didn't throw as many punches as I decided just to let him work. Anyway he hits me in the kidney and from there I just sit down.
I usually don't let guys get that close as I'll push them off or I'll play distance. I have long reach.
Anyway I've been nursing what may be a broken rib. Will wait one more night to see how I feel in the morning. Then if not better I'll head into the ER. Ibuprofen has me feeling somewhat painless. Just hurts to take deep breaths.
Sucks as I'm making progress(cutting) in my physique. I can probably still get in stairs but keep it at level 1. Can't breathe heavily. Definitely cannot really lift any significant weights.
I have a torn bicep from trying to muscle out of an arm bar. That was a few years ago.
