if you were lifting you'd notice how much heavier everything feels and your loss of stamina over time
I've gained visual muscle size since the start of my diet tho. Biceps got bigger. Don't know if that's from the push-ups and other bodyweight exercises I do.
direct correlation to muscle consumption in the body
nah it'll be from losing fat
you get the visual illusion of looking bigger
from the fat around the muscles going away
Nah I gained like two inches in bicep girth
I mean one inch
I'm gonna find my measuring tape.
Fug holy shit it's nearly 3 in the morning.
one inch is negligible, how long have you been doing push-ups and bodyweight stuff?
you'd need to measure it all cold
and I bet you've measured it post-workout
Nah
I measure in the morn
After rest
Dude I used to lift.
It's all good
Stop judging me.
>used to
I'm one of those guys too kek
what were your PRs?
I was 82kg bench, 140kg squat, 160kg deadlift at my max, nothing impressive
Ugh I don't even remember I was all over the place because of my declining health.
Like I said I overdid my heart.
I don't get much of a racing heart lifting, cardio does me in
It's more about the strain
The sudden increase in blood pressure.
What strained you?
squats?
Yeah
what weight?
And dead
I only got the pressure at 110kg for some reason, the time under pressure
felt like I needed to get it off me asap
You get any bone problems?
nope
The thing that really spooked me is my friend snapped his wrist while lifting.
yeah that'll happen
most people have bent back wrists while they lift
my friend does, makes me cringe
