Machine you are far from fat, wtf why would you worry about that? lol

Sjarl... Damn. Takes a lot to find time between rotations and getting to the gym. How the hell you did/ will do your surgery rotations (4 am x.x) I do not know. Beastly.
Otherwise update from myself, something iffy about my squat form because my right knee has begun to bother me from time to time when I'm walking about or driving for an extended period of time. Resetting down to 78kg and working back up to 90kg with better form for squats.

185 lb squats (3x5) 40 lb DB OHP (3x5) 5/5/3 wide grip pull ups (unweighted) 225 lb (3x5) for deadlift today. 2 plates Hell yeah. Only 25 pounds to go until I'm at 1.5x BW, should have it in the next few workouts. So pumped, such a great feeling, great exercise. Love me some deadlifting days.
Still over 9000 frat bros doing curls in the gym, it's ridiculous. Literally had to pick up & rack almost half the dumbbells in the place just to get enough floor space to do a deadlift. On the positive side, had a bunch of people staring at me while I was doing it... might not look like much when we have vids in this thread of decaf doing a C&J of just as much, or of him deadlifting more than double, but I don't look like a big guy (6'4, 165. Haven't been able to gain a pound in months), and the next biggest weight a guy in the gym is lifting is the one curling the 40 pound dumbbells, it's pretty sweet. Had some hardstyle music going, always gets me pumped for deadlifts, psyched myself up, stepped up to the bar and punched right through them. Almost didn't lock out the very last rep, but until then they were almost perfect.
But yeah. Should have 1.25x BW squat and 1.5x BW deadlift by the end of the month. Bench is taking forever to hit BW (still at 135), but what are you gonna do with gorilla arms, eh?

We need to put some fucking weight on you. at 6'4 you should be like 225-250 terrorizing the gym. Congrats on the 2 plates though, always awesome to finally reach that next one.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Occasionally I'll throw in some chips and salsa at night, or substitute the chicken for an equal amount of hamburger, steak, turkey, salmon, whatever. I need to eat better lunches, I need to add more vegetables, and I need to have something as a side with my dinner (currently eating just the chicken most nights). I'm allergic to most fruit, so I can't really add any of that. I finish a gallon of whole milk every two or three days. Goddamn, food shopping is expensive.

I'm think you got my post wrong, I'm not starting to attend sturgeries yet. But the way it goes in Iceland the shifts are from 8am to 4pm (and extras (4pm to midnight) spread around the semester). So I have about 2 years to sit on my arse and read and go to the gym when I can
Today's workout:
BB Bench Press: 82,5kg x 5 (+2 reps), 75kg x 8 (+2,5kg, -1rep) and 65kg x 12 (+2,5kg) Inc. BB BP: since my shoulder appears to really really hates this exercice I only managed singles of 60kg...seriously considering scrapping it. Close Grip BP: 2 sets of 60kg x 8

Now add a gallon of milk and a pound of your choice in slaughtered animal

there is a machine at my new gym. you sit? or stand straight directly under a suspended barbell (that is weighted). the exercise is to PULL the barbell down from above your head towards you (presumeably ending at the chest or infront of face).
what is this machine likely called? i want to look it up and see if it would be useful in helping me to do chin-ups, since i do not have an assisted chin-up machine

I stopped reading at "machine"
Do regular chin ups, and if you need assistance you can use resistance bands connected to the bar + your knees to help.
And I wish i lived with the guys who do epic meal time....so amazing

a lat pulldown? just go do some chins instead. can't do chins, do negatives then. force out 8. i started at 0 chins not that long ago, i can do a solid set with good form now and all i did was chins until i can't do anymore -- then negatives until i hit 8. (so started off 0chins+8negs.. 1+7 .. 2+6 etc). 3 sets of that. i think i woulda made better progress with that assistance machine thing that i have in my gym but all i had at the time was a bar so i made the best of it
edit: GHR question i was doing my GHR sets this morning and it kind of felt uncomfortable on my quads.. like a lot of pressure was put on them. used to be fine before, not sure what changed. can a machine adjustment cause this? i haven't looked into whether you can change something in the GHR, but as little as 2 days ago i had no problems whatsoever ideas?

Well I've proven far too lazy to really keep with any sort of exercise routine, lol. However, I've been away from home for almost a month now, staying in Alaska, then WA, then AZ, and eventually heading back home. Over the course of my travels, I seem to have lost about 7 pounds. Not sure if that's from the cold, eating less, stress from travel, or what. I finally stepped onto a scale after a while and almost shat a brick at the numbers I saw.
But I don't really think I like how I look this skinny tbh. Aside from just sort of stuffing my face with ice cream or chocolate, are there any tips or tricks to re-gaining a bit of fat? And while this last bit sounds impossible, I've got to ask anyway. Are there any tricks and such to encourage it to go to the right places?
Tell me I'm a fool with my feet off the ground! The way that I see it, it's the other way around! Say that I'm a dreamer who's walking on air! Might as well be water, why should I care!
idk, negative chin ups seemed very messy to me, too high weight leading to retarded form, unecessary stress, and no control of the descent. it shouldnt take too many sessions before im comfortable doing chinup(s), so i will try out this lat pulldown (its not a "fixed" machine, just a barbell dangling on a cable that you pull). thanks all, continuing advice is appreciated

you could possibly get into a habit of drinking a litre of milk a day? this would a) give you a nice targetted habit to maintain fluid intake b) give you the goodness of milk c) ~600 extra calories/day
what are the right places? just curious :d
