When I really started to look in the logs about april last I found a very ripped @MarkKO and I was just under 75 kg. End 2018 I guess I’ll be somewhere between 85 - 90 kg.

I remember that. I felt like shit most of the time. It was a great experience though, to know I can do that. Now I want the great experience of being really big and strong.

High levels of obesity… I think

I’m an American. Obesity is normal. It’s funny we have all these fat people who cry about fat shaming and how models are all thin. They’re all offended. The reality is that it’s NOT socially acceptable to tell someone they’re fat even though it’s a medical diagnosis. But fat people have no problem saying things to skinny people.

“You’re so thin.”
“You need to eat more.”

I’d be on CNN as some sort of monster if I did the opposite.

“You’re fat.”
“Stop eating.”
“I think your physical appearance is offensive and unpleasant.”

I hear you man.

Lots of fat people say that it’s because they are sick and can’t do anything about it.

Most of the time that is BS.

Solid set and good grind.Congrats on the PR. I would personally prefer to tuck the elbows a little more.

I really try to, you can’t see it, and I end up like that.
I’ll work on it, really. Next 6x2 session I’ll try to record a set.

It certainly isn’t the best angle to judge. Also it may not even pose an immediate problem, don’t get me wrong. To work on it you may want to try spoto presses. Pause bench may work as well but spotos force you to be tight better.
