@Kloi Dr. David Buss was a huge influence on Rollo Tomassi, at least in his early work before he (Buss) sold out to the feminists in the last few years
Evolutionary psychologists have had success in finding experimental correspondence between observations and expectations. In one example, in a study of mate preference differences between men and women that spanned 37 cultures, Buss (1989) found that women valued earning potential factors greater than men, and men valued potential reproductive factors (youth and attractiveness) greater than women in their prospective mates. In general, the predictions were in line with the predictions of evolution, although there were deviations in some cultures.
Just some literature from some course material that shouldn't come as a shock to anyone here.
Noticed the men I get along with best at work, are the ones that just talk shit back and forth all day or debate life topics.
In comparison the ones that I dread to work next to try and talk about themselves, their lives.

@Kloi Sounds like a good plan to me. I've trained for periods of time where I've done the big 3 but not at high volume and focused on assistance work usually at 8 reps and up. More of a bodybuilding than a strength routine. I started out training that way and have gone back to it from time to time.
@Vermillion-Rx I'm not.
@kloi is no son of mine!

Trying something different; I think the kids call it power building.
PPL twice a week, opening with one of the main lifts for two heavy sets then the rest of the work out hitting the 8-12 rep range.
Example being today was OHP heavy next push day would be some form of heavy Bench.
Also dropping down from 3 sets to 2 working sets per work out.
Hopefully this will elevate some soreness that lingers. Helping me to focus on 4 good sets a week vs 6 per exercise.
You're doing the The Lord's work I'm proud of you
I was never fat to begin with, I was struggling to break 175 on the scale at the time.
Hey sucking dick ain't easy but it's honest work.
If we're going with anecdotes, then here's mine.
Many years ago, I had on my bucket list "run a marathon" by age x.
So I did. And during that training, I adhered to old time advice that you carb load the day before a long run for energy.
So I did.
I was about 25-30 pounds overweight at that time and my training towards the end was 50+ miles a week.
After my divorce, I started eating differently (as many do) and I IMMEDIATELY dropped 20 points with no effort - an much less exercise.
The key takeaway? Carbs and sugar are bad for you.
I stand by my original comment, but i do recognize that results may vary.
