I have to ask - How did you tell him you didn't want to see him again? Did you do something for him to justify saying he was going to throw it away?

Dick move on his part either way but it begs the question.

Do you ever feel like maybe I'm just rustling your feathers? Just curious.

Why would he offer that he has your jacket, then act as if he wants to return it to you and then be a jerk after? That is a dick move.

I feel you on the clothing bit though. I once cut a man for scuffing my sneakers. Not really. I would though. The ex-wife managed to steal a vintage Lacoste cardigan from me when she left for the last time. Dirty bitch. Eight years together.....you mention her name and I think of adultery and my vintage cardigan that went with everything.

So many questions about a jacket:

Just make sure you remember to take your hanky home with you. Otherwise, you'll be calling uber.

None. That I could see.

She had a baby at 21 and only gained 8 lbs. She is in fantastic shape. Ask Sara .

No apologies ever necessary, my friend! We still need to figure out a central location for a meet-up! We once did this on the M5 Board but the central location and event was a car launch in Spain. We don't need to go that far but it would be super awesome!!

Sometimes snapping necks is the only way to be a king.

The comedy behind this is what I really look like. At 44, with a shaved head, glasses and below 140 pounds; I'm the most menacing, un-menacing looking guy you'll ever see.

Hey now! I detect sarcasm! I actually didn't come up with King Rudi. I feel like calling yourself king is a bit conceited. I got named and avatar made by my homeboy Soul_Glo

Agree 1000% I'm not too far from you. I'm in east TN, just a few hours away. We haven't set a date yet, but the girlfriend and I plan to go to Savannah, hopefully this summer, for some haunted tour goodness. When we finalize everything, I'll get at you.

Wut? No way! Below 140? Somehow I don't believe that, lol.

Last September, when I came off my cut and started my winter bulk; I weighed 132 pounds @ 8% body fat. Craziness. Two years ago when I started the gym/body transformation, I weighed 211. Never worked out a day in my life. The only sports I was in to prior, was skateboarding. I'm older, kids are grown, needed a new challenge. My dumb ass did everything backwards. I didn't want to be "all muscled up" I just didn't want to be fat anymore. Did little weight resistance training and did 1 hour to 1.5 hours of cardio 6 days a week. Seriously, we're talking 1.5 hours on an elliptical with the resistance set on about 3/4 of the max, 6 days roughly 1100 - 1300 k/cal burned per session - mind you my BMR is 1600. Made myself crazy catabolic and crazy skinny fat. Didn't realize it would be easier to build muscle, then lose the fat. I see too many fat muscular guys at the gym. Yes, they can lift big heavy weight, but they aren't in shape, they're just big. They're belly is as big as their arms, chest and shoulders. Didn't want to be bigger, wanted to be lean and cut. I started this cut cycle mid-February at 149 pounds. I'm trying to lose the fluff slowly, but damn it's hard. I've already lost 13 pounds. I'm at 136 as of this morning. The goal is to get to 146 - 150 at around 10-12% body fat. Getting there, just takes time and persistence. I was so lean in September the veins in my obliques and v-taper were very visible. I look skinny as shit until I take my shirt off. Once the fluff is gone, maybe about another month to 6 weeks, the striations in each muscle are very visible.

Not directed at you I do recall you sharing how the name came about and it’s evolutionary state that led to this. A couple/few iterations iirc.

More just here to post whole heaping amounts of nothingness. Carry on

Wow. How tall are you? Yes, it seems you are almost overdoing it with the cardio stuff. I mean I do a lot myself but not at that crazy level! You're right about the muscle dudes at the gym, they look big and strong (and they often times are), but as you said, they've got a gut sometimes. Lean muscle mass is the way to go.

Needless to say and I'm very sure you are more than aware of this, but DIET is extremely important. In other words, what you put in your body makes a big difference. For the past year or so I've stayed away from PUFA oils, mainly seed based oils because that shit is nasty and causes inflammation which is unhealthy. I haven't felt better since doing so. Less bloated and a general feeling of health if you will. Hard as hell to get in that habit (no fried foods, potato chips, typical salad dressings, mayo, etc.) Combined with a good diet and regular exercise, I'm fairly happy with the results but have to keep it up. As you know, it's very easy to fall out of it due to burn out or other.

Oh and lastly, the most underrated thing and one I am guilty of, SLEEP. I don't get enough of it but that has a tremendous impact on your ability to be healthy and fit. I honestly think it may be the most underrated thing when it comes to being healthy.

I'm 5' 9". I was most definitely over doing it with the cardio. This past Saturday I did cardio for the second time since October. Valiant effort at almost 45 minutes and just a little over 400k/cal burned. I'm good with that. I've all but eliminated my cardio completely. For time management, if I want to burn 200 calories, rather than running it off, I track what I eat and just don't eat the 200 calories, saves me the time from actually doing the cardio. I also want to keep those calories to build muscle. My routine these days is kind of a hybrid push/pull/leg split done twice a week, no cardio unless I've over eaten my allotted calories for more than 2 days in a row and aside from the girlfriend offering snacks, my diet is spot on. Good carbs, lean proteins and healthy fats. I've reached that phase where food is only fuel and I don't mind to eat the same thing over and over again as I know how many calories/macros are in what I eat. My weakness is, late at night, post sex, I'm starving and want to eat everything. The trick is to eat nothing. If I eat a bite of something the fat kid in me wakes up and wants to eat everything in the house. I find that eating pickles helps. Three small pickles registers no caloric value whatsoever.

The sleep thing gets me too. I'm a typical Type A personality, I'm 100 mph as fast and as hard as I can go from the second my eyes open until my head touches a pillow. 10-12 hours of work a day, 1.5-2 hours at the gym, then shower, then sex. I usually get about 4-5 hours a night. I'd love to get more sleep but my day is stacked already. To get more sleep I need to work less, not spend time at the gym and not see the girlfriend. None of those 3 are changing. Lack of sleep it is!

I'm terrible with sleep, and it makes literally everything in life more difficult!

[TiMSport]

Well done! You have a lot more willpower than I do for sure. Rather than go to the gym I just bought my own equipment instead. Almost commercial grade (treadmill, elliptical, spinning bike, weights) and I can work out any time I want and don't have to look at the muscle head dummies staring at themselves in the mirror. I find that cuts down on the amount of time wasted going to and from the gym, etc. Don't pay a membership fee either, but of course it's an upfront investment for ownership of said equipment.

Ha, among those choices I certainly understand how sleep becomes the victim
