The elusive 260

[44YOGearHead]

I'm a bit disappointed in myself as I'm stuck at 258.6 pounds it seems. I know I could hold my shit and jump on scale and tip 260, but I want the weight in mass, not shit outta my ass. I've been eating 5x a day plenty of proteins and carbs and even cheated in some fats by way of 6 oreo cookies... they were calling my name bro's. Any recommendations as to how I can get to 260 just for sake of doing it? After this cycle I wanna end up at a solid and firm 252-255 if possible. It's been hot as hell out here so maybe I'm a bit dehydrated? Usually I can feel that stuff though.

Simple: eat more, move less lol. If you're serious about tipping the scales to 260, track your exact caloric intake and increase it by 250-300 calories. That should get you there in about a week or two .

I have been running around like crazy this week I guess. Probably need extra rest, but the time creeps up on you so fast. I bumped my calories to compensate, but will increase it by 300 more and try to get a nap in after the gym. Good recommendation bro.

You'll be well on your way, my friend. I would increase the calories with foods that digest well. It doesn't have to be "clean" calories as long as the majority of your other calories are healthy, micronutrient dense foods. It's all about balance, brother. I'd much rather go to sleep at night being able to digest my food and not feel bloated as a water buffalo than force myself to eat another two sweet potatoes or bowl of oats (if it made me feel bloated). I believe in a flexible dieting approach as long as it is not abused. Too many people give flexible dieting a bad rap. "Let's see how many pop tarts and cupcakes I can fit into my macros today!" SMH lol.

Lol...true. Gonna wake up in the morning eat some egg whites and oatmeal then pound the gym into submission, come back have my aminos, chicken and brown rice and nap for like two hours if possible.

If the scale is stuck it sounds like another caloric jump is in order. Maybe up the carbs and protein just a tad more to compensate. That should do the trick to get you the extra pound or two you need buddy

Man I will donate you what you need for the 260 lol. I need to get UNDER 260 lol. Just won't happen lately no matter how hard I try at it.

Hoping so... I actually feel great as far as not feeling the weight on my bones/joints, or cardio wise. Being on my feet at the mall for hours can be a tad uncomfy for my frame, but I feel good considering. 260 would be a personal milestone for me. I think in order for me to get there and stay there eventually I'd have to bump bf% to 14%. SARMs have me pretty tight and might be delaying that 1.4 pound I want. I've got a dexa scan scheduled for next Wednesday so we shall see where I'm at.

Yeah man the old lady took me to the mall and the Benz dealer... on my feet for like two hours easy. I felt my glycemic index taking a nosedive and had to tap out and get some calories. Wife is a funny thing bro, said she wanted a more affordable car... let's go to MB. WTF? Still at a high end dealership... so they have a suv that looks like BMW's X6 and of course it's only available as a AMG. $80k starting price, then we see another car and she loved the two screens on the dash...$165k, so then the guy shows us the Maybach for $195,600... that was a nice fucking car man, but you need a driver to enjoy all that the car has to offer. I do well for myself, but there is no need for me to have a driver lol. When I get that well off, the driver will be a she and will spend more time in the back with me than anything else lol... so the old lady wants the AMG when the new model comes out in OCT/NOV time frame. If she isn't newly liberated I'll oblige, If I'm single... buying myself something sweet to celebrate, or moving some place with a island breeze and a nice gym.

All my personal cars are used. I hate car payments, but the wife gets new and our son got new as well courtesy of his mother fast talking me. I have a 07 Hayabusa, 03 Lexus, 12 Silverado monster truck and a 91 GT (love this fucking car, blown 306 putting 533 to the tires). When it comes to my vehicles I often get satisfaction outta toys, but I am going new when I get this boy graduated from college. Getting him and his girl an apartment at Christmas break if they both have good grades. They're both going to the same school. Her mom wanted her to join the AF, but she wants to go where my son goes and she's a great girl so I enrolled her too. As long as they're together I got her back. She qualified for a academic scholly so it won't set me back too much. Better investment than Pot Roast bro...
