I know I’m getting old when a gym buddy says, “this one time, at band camp…”, and he then says he doesn’t know where that reference came from.

Just a big 🌈🐻 who likes to lift heavy, eat big, and might show off from time to time.
When your underwear looks like it’s about to explode like a sweaty can of Grands biscuits.
Back and butt day felt a bit more successful than usual today (ffs, I’m sore 😅).
Long multi-post: I’m bothered, and I don’t know if I should be. A private account asked to follow my IG account, and it turned out to be a well-known straight powerlifter who is creating gym and strength training content in an LGBTQ-welcoming environment. His profile includes an OF link…
Little fit check before heading to Overhang tomorrow in DC. I love how big my ass looks in the white shorts, but the black ones have pockets, so I think they win.
Some late feeling-wide-Wednesday pics just because. My lats are killing me.
My hip flexors hate me, but I love any excuse to play with my massage gun.
Things that probably amuse only me: I’ve been getting a lot of clips of the Mary Tyler Moore show recently on Facebook (yes, I’m ancient and still use Facebook). I find myself all attracted to both Mary and her boss Lou, and I laugh at the weird polarization of my bisexuality or whatever it is. 🤪
I live a mile from my gym and walk. There’s a group of guys always at the bus stop that like to tell me I’m big and ask how much i lift. Today’s comment was, “You’ve gotta be in the Hawaiian shirt club!” I laughed. Different kind of big, but he wasn’t wrong. 😂
Ran across a pic from 2014 - an extremely rare nude from my “straight” days. I love my big body today, but seeing the comparison is pretty ridiculous, and I can’t help the little voice saying “WTF did you do?”. Damn, I was pretty for a brief moment there, but no regrets. Living my best Shrek life.😂
I may be a middle-aged grump, but I won’t let that stop me from watching Despicable Me 4 while eating my weight in tortellini. Adulting at its finest.
Just a bit of benchpress and belly. 340lbs x 5. Slowly getting my strength back.
Tonight’s bar theme was “boots and boxers.” Took some cheesy shots beforehand. I may have taken the theme too literally. First time I’ve been to a gay bar and felt underdressed. 😂
From last week’s gear night. Question: these shorts are faux leather with a fabric liner. The instructions say to spot clean with a damp rag. Anyone know how to do a more thorough job - at least on the interior? Musk has its time and place, but I’d rather not end up with a rash.
Just practicing, coach. I wanna make sure I’m good and ready for the big game.
Irrational gym rant: I’m not above wearing just socks to squat or deadlift. My gym has some guys who do their entire workout barefoot - no socks - getting their clearly very dirty feet on nearly every surface and the TRX handles. Annoys TF out of me. I know it’s hypocritical, but “Ugh!”
A high school girlfriend once sent me a tape cassette with Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” with no context. Almost 30 years later I’m posting shit like this. I guess in some ways, I really haven’t grown. 😬😅 Anyway, I felt pretty, in a middle-aged overfed housecat sort of way.
Big guy pull-ups. Yeah, I kip, and my range of motion still sucks, but I’m 340 lbs and do 4 sets of 12 at the end of my workouts. My overly humble gymbro cheering me on in the background.
When you’ve done a full day of yardwork in the hot sun, so you stuff yourself silly and collapse your sore body into bed.
Next Halloween I really hope to see a couple’s costume of the Resident Evil chef and the fat patient.
I’m wearing clothes for once! I was amused by the overhead lights giving me abs, and no one was around, so here’s a little flexing video.
