Ok, it is officially killing me. Did you have a different profile at one time? I never get tired of seeing your success, but swear I saw your pics under a different name at one point. Am I just crazy?

much

Yeah I was arditarose I needed a new account and no friends for a little while. I bulked and struggled cutting weight and was in a really bad place. So now I'm at my bulking weight. Still never officially lost I suck at deficits now.

I knew it was you, but didn't want to 'out' you

We love you at any name. You've always been an inspiration, even when you struggle....

(and BTW, you ALWAYS look fabulous)

What meet did you do? I recently did an in-house friendly meet, and am thinking of registering for an Elite meet that's in August in Toronto, but I'm terrified of doing a "real" meet!

Ooh @quiksylver296 you could do 3 of me and my cat!
Just out of curiosity what are your other lifts like?

Cheers, h.

The most I've ever benched is 160 lbs, but I only got 145 in my meet last month. Squats, with proper form, 200 lbs. Pre-trainer, with bad form, 280 lbs.

It was a USAPL local meet. I live in Idaho, USA.

I am having that same issue. Gained 10-12lbs on a bulk. Lost 5lbs of it and now am just like la de da sucking at cutting.

I can do it, I know I can but also was tested last time at 16% or so fat at my goal weight pre bulk so know these last 5lbs of fat are not easy.

I recently added a gym membership to utilize equipment I don't have at home. I don't lift as heavy as I'd like on some things because of joint issues, but I push it as much as possible. I'm enjoying the changes.

I never thought about that. I totally didn't mean to "out" anyone.

Yeah. It's so hard. I do NOT have that willpower on the weekend that I had when I was fat. I want a drink and I want ramen and burgers.

It's fine. When I first came back my face wasn't in the pics. I am not anonymous anymore

350 lb deadlift - hopefully by the powerlifting meet I'm doing in August. Still cutting/recomping - not sure what my goal weight is at this point, but I'm not there yet.
