@DreamBroken My man, I just put up my training montage video on the general wrestling talk thread and it features The Man Who Made a Monster by Dance with the Dead and since you are pretty much the only dude who knows the band, I just wanted to give you a heads up, if you want to check it out! I'm on summer holiday now, so I can finally catch up on TNA as well!

That wasn't the song I was using, but I did make a very squat based video for my wife. Obviously, that one is not going on YouTube. We did joke that If I'm desperate enough for money in the near future, another kind of account isn't out of the question, however.
If I already got one veiled request here, there must be some dudes out there ready to pay for it. Chicks, not so much...

So you should be pretty F'n jacked at this point, because that is a huge cut! The weather here in Finland has been cold as fuck for June/July, especially compared to last May//July which was awesome. The problem is that it has also rained a whole lot, so it has ruined more than a few cardios for me, but I still made the F'n cut this year, too!
Anyway, keep up the awesome work, those are some badass numbers as far as losing pounds is concerned!

@Technico Support Where is your weight at currently? Do you feel like the shed pounds have improved your cardio further? I mean I remember you telling that your cardio has always been on a good level despite being a big guy!
I ran without the weight vest last weekend and it felt like cheating !

I am a huge Mortician fan, completely unashamedly, so it is definitely a compliment. They are one of the bands that most unjustly gets a bad rap in... anywhere, really. They fucking RULE.
One of my oldest friends is a fan, too! I mean he is a fan of hundreds of bands, just like you and me, but he's the only one who has mentioned Mortician to me before. He was praising them, if I recall correctly. Definitely not hating on them, that's for sure!

I'm only at Fyter Fest so far and was watching Thekla's entrance thinking "Damn, she should really team up with Lady Frost... I wonder who she's going up aga...HOLY SHIT!!!" Sadly, too much of a squash, but I'm sure these two would have a better, more competitive match in them for sure!
Casually starting the Summer Blockbuster with Ospreay vs Swerve 2! This ought to be nice... yeah, but I called the 30-minute draw!
Okada showing respect to Kenny, only to blindside the shit out of him was a dick move!
While I think Bowens' gimmick is very cheesily tacked on (go with one or the other) I think his music is awesome and him going against all these great workers who are total douches (Prickochet, Okada and Fletcher) is working pretty well.
Mortos vs Bandido is a dream match that I have been waiting for a good while now! Me and Bandido currently share a physique, just look at us!

All In just purchased via Triller TV, there was some discount going on, so the price was only 17e to begin with and with 2e worth of Google Play credits, it ended up costing 15e, which is a steal if there ever was one! I'm so far behind the shows at the moment that I have no real idea of the card, but I already know that it will be worth THAT price, even with Mox in the main event.

I think I'm going to have to consider this at least pro wrestling adjacent for the first time, so I post this here and not the fitness thread, but: Here's me lifting things and putting them back down to the tune The Outrunners' most "famous" theme, The Man Who Made a Monster by Dance with the Dead!
And I'm pretty sure that is going to be the only wrestling theme I will make a video of, but we'll see?

The grueling photoshoot is done, with some crazy shots in there, but I'm afraid there is way less usable (possible) profile pics in the lot, but it did have a couple double bicep shots from the back that almost made my head explode! So, money well spent.

Dude, Shartnado, I can't help it... every time I look at one of your photos I think of Will Rahmer from Mortician.
And I will take that as a huge compliment, whether it is intended as such or not! I salute you!

Took this year's first photo of the cut today, after a 55-minute jog/stairs, sauna and 90 minute pump workout outside . I will probably go back to the professional photos for my profile pic, but I put this up, so you can see it's business as usual, even at almost 48 years old!

The PPV was amazing, but that main event was the reason why work out, why I listen to music and why I fucking drink! That was all the shit even worth going through this life at this point! The best things! The guy I wanted to win lost, and I was fine with that because the other guy had reasons too! And I'm not the guy who will save the day, but I can be the guy whose sacrifice will help turn the tide. This is why I still watch wrestling and even if I hate watching it sober, I still do, sometimes, so that the times I watch it the way it was meant to be watched, actually means something! Thanks and if you don't like Hangman or Ospreay, please stop watching wrestling, you are not needed here!

This is from the time I went full Trapbar, even though I know you should never go full Trapbar !

I ended up doing bigger and better lifts here and there after this, too, but it remains a really good session!

I've been playing far too much Elden Ring lately, by a company famous for its "do big falls, take damage" mechanic, and I just finished watching the Alicia Vikander Tomb Raider, which has as much ridiculousness as the games.
I say this because I passed out a couple of times and fell last night from some kind of weird dizzy spell, and I dinged up my face pretty good in the process. And this was (probably) just the equivalent of a prat fall. And all I can think about video game jumps now is, "Motherfucker, do you realize how much you bust your ass falling 6 feet?!?!?"
Less than 6 feet is plenty! Falling 3 feet backwards would probably do damage I would prefer not to even think about!

Got under 185 for a spell yesterday after a 90 minute walk after waking up. That was right back up this morning, but I'll be damned if I'm not nearly as cut as I used to be at below 180. Big if true, still not sure. 1 hour cardio this morning as well along with slow walking and biking during the day. On the other hand, today I have consumed literally thousands of extra calories on refeed. Was looking pretty jacked even with no pump whatsoever, which is an encouraging sign at least.
By next week it will be close to a month and a half without any alcohol, but Finnish Midsummer will put a swift end to that. Even with that, this has been the driest I think I've ever been during the diet. There has always been a couple of exception weekends along with Midsummer, this time, none of that business. There was a Rock/Metal Festival over here just a few kilometers away from me (again) this weekend, but this year I chose not to go. Way easier not to get tempted just staying at home (eating pizza and ice cream, however)!

As of this past weekend, I’m finally below my initial goal weight, 76ish pounds down from two years ago. I feel like I probably have 10-20 to go, we’ll see. The biggest difference maker for the last 15-20 pounds was cutting out alcohol. I was convinced hard liquor and diet soda drinks were fine since they had no macros. Turns out hard liquor actually has calories anyway! So I was at or under my food calorie goal every day, but then drinking like 600-1000 calories. So now I only drink on Saturdays. Anyway, thanks for letting my skinnier ass brag here.
Unfortunately, alcohol is a macro and a shitty one at that. I guess it's like carbs and fats put together without any of the benefits of either one, just the calories. I have read that since your digestive system cannot actually use the alcohol's calories in their original form, they need to processed in the liver and turned into fat and the only way to avoid this, is to cut down on the intake.
I have definitely cut down on the times of consuming alcohol for the past 5-6 years, if not the units when actually getting my drinking on, but that has reduced the overall consumption very significantly. I'm happy about that but also miserable.
That being said, if anyone wants to lose weight and alcohol is still part of your diet, cutting it back (or out) will likely have a huge positive impact, if you can do it without resorting to a constant sugar rush or caffeine high!

The diet is chugging along and I'm progressing slowly but surely. It seems to be very different this year, though.
I started from such a high weight (for me) that it seems like peaking too early is definitely off the table this year. That's of course great, but it also keeps the pressure on me until the very end. I have booked a photoshoot for July 2nd and I will try to keep the cut going until the 7th which is when my summer holiday starts.
I have had three off weekends at this point, one of which was rather tame and all of which have included some cardio and no alcohol. Yet, my weight is around 183 lbs, whereas it has usually been 176 and under by this point. Granted, I have done way less cardio compared to two previous years (at least, maybe more) but I have had the weight vest at full (well half, but as far as I can have it full) capacity from the word go, unlike last year.
Now, I would like to imagine that some of this stubborn weight is actually some newly aquired lean mass from the bulk/strength season that I put absolutely everything I had into, but I can't tell for sure. Nothing seems that much bigger, but on the other hand I don't think I look any less cut than I usually look around 176, but again, I'm not sure.
Strength levels have now started to go down, but I was still doing reasonably impressive stuff as late as couple of weeks ago and they haven't exactly crashed yet. I have been doing some pretty insane calorie cutting during these weeks, so it's pretty surprising that they haven't, actually.
My secret weapons this year, compared to previous ones have been pineapple and beets. Everything else from previous years, I have kept. Well, I haven't had to need to go get the Nick's low calorie ice cream yet, but that would definitely be on the menu, if needed.
Now I'm fixing to leave for the night shift and gym before that, obviously. Last night, I did 3 different bench pyramids (two inclines and regular) weights weren't heavy and the sets weren't particularly long, but it was 24 sets overall, if I counted correctly. That was a decent chest pump for a change!

I guess it pays to complain here, because Triller TV got around to putting the Double or Nothing up for purchase a second ago, nicely just a day after my triple Google points offer expired. But hey, I'm on board for this one, as well!
-
I have been checking Triller TV app for updates constantly for a while now and there's still nothing about Double or Nothing becoming available to purchase. There has been no notification about discontinuation of AEW PPV's on Triller TV (for specific countries, or whatever) or anything like that. I'm baffled. Also, there's also MAX in our household at the moment. There's no AEW in sight. That of course can be a Europe thing, but these kinds of things really irk me, especially since WWE and NXT are showing up on Netflix just fine.
This sucks even more now that for once, there's a good match on tap at an AEW PPV, in Ospreay vs Hangman! I was totally ready to pay for that particular view. The lack of information is the worst part. That is not on AEW, obviously, but on Triller TV or Fite, specifically.

Last dignitary Pope Francis ever met was Couch Vance. Reminds me of The Queen, Queen Elizabeth II last Royal engagement was with Lettuce Liz Truss. No wonder both tapped out after.
Pope praying after meeting Vance:

Gotta say I'm out of the loop on sociopathic/psychopathic behavior from Cena, though it wouldn't surprise me. I was a huge fan of his since his Prototype days but haven't seen much of his work since 2007 outside of some Manias and weekly shows in 2015/16 when I gave WWE another chance. Is there some shady stuff I missed out on? You know, besides the Vince dick riding which is already a deal breaker for me
The only thing that I can recall is him dating and dumping a bunch of women from WWE and not be willing to marry them or have children ever, as well as doing a bunch of underhanded stuff with coworkers (JTG and the not Matt Cardona of Edgeheads come to mind), but I'm not sure if that makes him any more sociopathic than your average WWE worker, so maybe others can help you out with this one?
