Good work leaf, I hit a bench press PR this week too. Thanksgiving is the time of big lifts.

so do u guise bulk first and eat a ton, then later on in the year try to cut and go keto?

I try to just eat all around good and keep up my weekly cardio levels.

for me its easier to bulk in winter anyway. I'm indoors more, lots of rich food, holidays and whatnot. And cold weather makes me eat a lot more and crave denser foods.

In the summer and when it gets really hot I just lose my appetite. I just want to drink cold water and stuff, even ice cream makes me feel sick in the summer because it's too rich. In the summer I end up eating a whole lot less, and more light foods like fruits and salads, maybe some fish and rice.

So for me it just seems natural to bulk for winter and cut for summer, but I'm not really doing it on purpose, at least not completely and I'm not doing it for aesthetics or anything.

I dont really cut out carbs because of all the extra energy I have. keto is just making your diet less than 5% carbs so you can eat things like bacon and your body uses globules of energy from your blood stream rather than glycogen from your muscles.

I only eat like 40-60 grams protein per day. >>143980

same. im doing it more to be more limber and supple.

>Finally benched 200 lbs for 10 reps.

What a coincidence, I just wanted to post that I did the same with hand expander. Well, it says 200 lb, I have no idea how hard it actually is.

Yep. Unfortunately with my union's shitty health insurance (which is still less shit than my work's insurance) I'm extremely limited in who I can see without paying in full -- which could be from the low hundreds to the high thousands, possibly multi-kilobuck for surgeries. And this is on top of paying close to $100/mo.

Warning: incoming blog. Since you're in Upsidedown-Land you're probably unfamiliar with the horrors of Burgerstani healthcare: there are "in-network" doctors/specialists/etc and "out-of-network" blahblah. In-network accept your copays etc, the rest do not. Mine happens to be $40 to walk in the door, $60 for specialists, $80 for "urgent care" visits, $350 to enter the emergency room, etc. None of which cover any additional costs like some drug tests (ie pee in a cup to show you're a good goy who doesn't weed/etc) or uncovered bloodwork (eg my insurance company will cover to check cholesterol levels but not testosterone). Ironically my best healthcare provider was Obamacare a couple years back before they suddenly doubled their monthly prices for no apparent fucking reason.

…about that same time I qualified for my union's healthcare (have to work 9 consecutive months on full-time before they decide you're a good enough goy to earn the right to a doctor without racking on decades of debt) and I was like "lol fuck Obamacare xD" … and then a few months ago my union's healthcare recently doubled monthly costs AND copays/etc. Perhaps it's time to look at Obamacare again?

Man, healthcare in the US is crazy expensive. I have family there and at times they'd come to Brazil to get the needed medical care because it would be much cheaper. And they make a LOT of money.

Depending on your problem, it might be worth it to go to Spain or a country like that and do whatever you need to do. You'll pay half and have a nice vacation
