A year ago, I was in the best shape of my life and averaged around 155, so I would weigh between 153-157, but always in that area. Over the last year, I have increased my weight to the 160s


Is this a problem? Is this more muscle gain, or fat?

If that is your lifting routine I'd expect you to be gaining weight from 155, assuming you eat. 155 at 5'9" for a consistent weightlifter is pretty damn low.

It sounds like you really just want to be skinny (low muscle) with abs, which is tough without good genetics. You gotta get your diet on point.

If it's not just about being skinny, I'd cut the cardio completely and devote time to building muscle. Yes, your mid section will get even softer. But then you'll have a better base to cut down from and you'll have abs at 165 instead of 155.

If you really want to stay skinny, you can reverse/recomp up and keep some of your cardio but it's going to take serious macro tracking that I'm not sure you wanna do. Basically, keep doing what you're doing for two weeks and track what you eat perfectly. Find out your maintenance calories (and macros). From there you can tweak your macros weekly (I would bet you aren't getting near enough protein), get on a slight surplus, and build some muscle while maintaining/cutting fat.

You don't need to "go on a diet" you just need to know your diet. But again, that's a lot of work.

Easiest thing would be to start eating more protein and good carbs (rice/oats), progress on weight training (lift heavier every couple workouts), cut out cardio (at least some of it, drop to 30 minutes instead of an hour to start) then cut once you're 180ish.

Obligatory cut out alcohol for the obvious, quickest returns - but it sounds like you don't want to do that which I am totally fine with, me neither brother.
Do you take any stimulant preworkouts?

I started getting these really randomly a few years ago, and finally figured out it was associated with a particular preworkout that I was taking (amino energy).

Absolutely no idea why. Was debilitating, though.

Shot in the dark, and it sounds like you've got a pretty solid acute event to pin it on, but just in case might be something to consider.

Lemme see that PR soon.

I wonder if they PR this tomorrow. Got to, right?

Let's see if price and volume start coming in here. Might be a good time to buy. I'm buying.

I'm so confused...it just got approved right?

The motion was to approve the royalty rate as proposed, and they unanimously voted in favor...?

I'm going with yes, it's approved. :nana: Done deal.

The opposition's major arguments are hilariously contradictory.

"Standard is going to make a huge profit off this lithium royalty rate"

also

"Standard has not proven they can even extract lithium from the brine profitably"

And the opposition still can't understand the difference between lithium chloride and lithium carbonate/hydroxide.

Possibly - they didn't finish til I think 4 or 5 last meeting. Might have enough time today, not sure.

They looked brand spankin' new.

He was funny. I'm curious why SLI has to destroy 2 acres of his land for their project :lol:

Otherwise, lots of support in favor of this time around from the public comments.

Jaxon Browser: "We have been offered anywhere from 3 to 10% on our acreage by major companies"

Commission: "Do you have proof of these offers?"

Jaxon: "I do not"

Commission: "What exactly were you offered, 3-10% of what?"

Jaxon: "I do not know"


:rolleyes: :lol:

I wonder if we get this done today or if it stretches into tomorrow morning like the last one.

Oh they're going with the threatening route right now.

Telling AOGC that their Texas leases are more rich in lithium and they've already signed royalty agreements for less than they're offering in Arkansas.

Taking the gloves off now.

65% of leases are owned by non-Arkansas citizens (so the majority of the royalty payments are going out of the state anyway)
