Update. Well this past week has ended. I didnt hit what I was looking for, but that is just me with high expectations. Started the week at 268. As of this morning fresh out of bed after the morning tinkle I was 263.6. I was pushing to break into the 250s for the first time in years. So my new goal for this week is to hit the mid to low 50s.

I am so thankful for all the responses and encouragement by all of you.

Thanks

you ll get there man. Dont get caught up with it. Soon you ll be all over the 240's, just keep putting in the time at the gym and be wise with each meal choice. things will continue to go your way. :banana:
 
Thanks guys. Yes I have been blessed with alot of support from everyone including family. I personaly like it when people bust your chops and call you out. Or point out the good and bad in what our doin or not doing. It helps. Some may not believe it but it does.
 
As long as it is done constructively for sure. There is a difference in being called out with good intentions and called out to be chastized. I and I am sure you would not stand for being chastized, but a gentle nudge in the right direction is always a good thing.
 
There's a lot of us that have your back through this Jeff!! You are doing awesome bro....just set realistic attainable goals each week and push towards them, and the satisfaction and results will keep coming!! ;)
 
Hey NUTSACK! Where is your post for the day. You are slacking slacker!

Those real barbell squats or on a machine of some sort Jeff? I don't know anyone personally that can rep 405x20 for a warm up or 540x8. I don't even know that I can stand under 540 and hold it. If you are doing that with a barbell I am going to have to come and check that ish out some time. Either way killer workout.

Machine. I might be stupid but not that stupid. I put a little video up on my fb.

Good stuff we need to work on some hip flexibility to get you a little deeper on the leg press look up a few hip stretches. Not for the hamstring but for the actual hip muscles. Once those hips loosen up you will be able to spread the legs out a little more giving you more clearance for the pressing movement. Squat machine looked good. Sitting back nicely into it. That machine is a nice one. I hit it at Fitness Connection every once in a while.
 
yeah i actually have been looking into hip stretches. As far as the machine is concerned i like it. That is one thing that i have been trying to focus on is form. I am thinking about dropping down in the leg press weight to help my loosen up my quads and hammies as well as work on my flexability. That has always been an issue. No matter how much i stretch my hammies will not loosen up. I had one of the trainers take a look at my stretching motion and they say it is good. But i dont think so. I always feel super tight.

Also I started to video some of the exercises to see my form and to show how much weight i am actually doing. That way if anyone questions what i say i can back it up. :laugh:

Yesterdays workout was abs and a crap load of cardio in my 1/2 acre of yard work to get ready for my 9 year old daughters bday party.
 
Yeah Yeah Yeah... LOL I will see you all the way out in B.F.E. later today.
 
Hope you, your family, and especially your daughter have a great birthday party Jeff!! :party:

Keep up the great work man!! :bigok:
 
Well I have to say when someone is pretty big sometimes the initial weight loss is not completely noticeable. However today Jeff looked noticeably better healthier and leaner than the last time I saw him. On top of that he held fast to his plans for food while I enjoyed my lean gains style feasting. Great Job Jeff, and looking great too!
 
So Jeff, spill the beans, did Chris pork out!?!?

Great to hear you held to your plans, way to go. You just knew Chris would ride you forever if you didn't, right!!!
 
Milas,

That is funny. You know i never really thought about it. Yeah i knew he was coming up but when i put my mind to something. I do everything possible to stick to it. Only thing i do different is i dont normally use supplements on the weekends.

Now as far as Chris porking out no he really didnt do bad. I grilled some venison steaks, Hamburgers, Hot dogs, and warmed up what was left of some ribs.

Chris thank you for saying this it just validates that i am doing the right things that work for me. So far that is. It helps also when i look at my old pics and then look at your new one and use them as motivation. :banana: :footinmouth:
 
I think starting Monday i will add some bcaa to my diet. I have only been taking it after my evening workouts. Well I think i am going to take some with my morning breakfast then again about 30 minutes prior to my work out and then again 30 minutes or so afterwards.

BCAA's are great to use preworkout and post workout and also inbetween meals and before bedtime. Thats pretty much how I use them
 
No problem Jeff, glad you have stuck with it. You are doing great and it shows. Now the next 30 is going to be like Holy Crap Where did Jeff go? Good stuff man!

going to failure will force muscles to grow. But they will need a lot of rest afterwards, so dont go doing back tomorrow. Give them the rest they need.


For your cardio you should do some incline walking on a treadmill. 2.8-3.3mph and 8-12% incline. Its what most of the Pro's do, it will allow you to burn up cals without having a skyhigh heartrate. It should helpout with fat burning/muscle building

Looking good bro!
 
so the last few days have been crazy. Had some friends and family get evacuated from there homes due to a massive fire. It is now only 9 miles from my house. We need some rain really bad. Today was an off day, Yesterday was abs. And this weekend was when stuff hit the fan.
 
If you google Grimes County Fire you will see how bad it is. It started because of a bbq pit, there is a burn ban all around and this moron was burning trash in there bbq pit. :shock:
