If fbg gets chronically high, all you have to do is add a little metformin or a bit of insulin to move that stuff back into the cells. It doesn't typically get our of control on these small doses

After 3 weeks of not being able to do any lower body lifting I pulled a 405lb Axle Deadlift for a double yesterday.

Felt good. Shooting for a 450lb Axle Deadlift and a 250lb log press by end of Jan.

Oh, you're a strongman? I did not know that.

Getting more into as I get older. Virtually every lift is a compound lift so it is much easier on the body.

Competing in an amateur event at the end of Jan.

Overhead medley: Circus dumbbell press, log press, viking press for reps. 60s time limit.
Max axle DL
Atlas stone to shoulder for reps. 60s
Hercules Hold
Tractor pull

Trying to put down at least 6k calories per day. Not an easy task when you are really never hungry to begin with.

Goal is to get weight up to 200 from 185.

This time last year I was 150 due to all the medical shit I went through.

Whew man that has to suck as I am sure you are trying to keep the calories pretty clean.

I've been trying to add some weight myself as I am not training for a race at the moment and its tough to change your diet that much even when it seems like it would be fun. I just don't eat much at any given sitting and adding more meals is hard to do. 3,000cal a day is a challenge for me. At least consistently.

That seems excessive for your weight, unless you do tons of activity like a manual labor job through the day.

I was in the best shape of my life but then I foolishly quit smoking and turned into a fat butterball.

I put down around 4k to stay at 185.

Just daily walks and the 2-2.5 hours in gym.

If I eat less I start dropping weight quickly.

No. I stay dark a long time though...I got back from Hawaii a few weeks ago. I did tan before that though.

That’s pretty damn insane for your weight and that activity level.

Yeesh. You're a food processing machine.
