Nice bench big dog. What's your weight down to?
 
nice man that's solid! I must be gaining all the weight you're losing. I don't know where it's coming from.
 
Dan do you subscribe to the Mountain Dog training forum? I am really thinking of doing it at least for a few months. Seems a good idea to get some of the alternate workouts and what not for just $10 a month.

Man that would be awesome! Meadows is a beast and may be my idol lol. Ive always considered getting a custom plan made by him but never really looked into it. I heard somewhere its ridiculously expensive?


Off day today spent the day with the fam at the Zoo. Shoulders in the AM May be a fasted session im gonna try to get up early and go before PT. So if i don't get up in time to make breakfast ill have to go fasted and catch breakfast as my post workout meal.

Back-

OH grip shoulder width pull up- really wanted to knock 3 sets of these out first while I was fresh but some tool bag was doing some sketchy looking what im guessing was supposed to be supersets of jumping rope/pushups and some weird jumping thing except he was literally taking like 2-3 minutes between sets....right under the only pull up bar....aint nobody got time for that.. so I got one set in and decided to come back when he was gone.
BW-15

Should have waited till his pushups set and "lose your grip" lading both feet firmly on his lower spine. That would teach the fuker to do sissy shyt.

Yeah man its a perfect way to cap off an arm day.

Off day today had some errands to run after PT. Today was my last day of PT foc says he thinks im ready to start out on my own. So hopefully that works out.

side note- went to get my hair cut today by the same chick whos cut my haor for the last 2 years and she told I was getting huge!! WTF lol I better not be getting bigger haha. Weight has been funny all week been waking up at 206.0 every morning and then like an hour later im down to 204.5....every morning this week so far. Kinda weird. Especially since I was down in the 203 range last week and weekend and nothin has really changed. I know the scale doesnt matter I just like to track it to kind of see what my metabolism is doing but its hard to gage when my weight fluctuates so much
 
Well you definitely look much bigger the leaner you have gotten. You are doing a great job keeping muscle while leaning up!

you will look bigger, when you look better and leaner - simply because your muscle will be more visible/obvious

as for weight: try not to get caught up in inconsequential things..no sense raising cortisol levels over this lol
just weight yourself one time, same time every day, and be done with it
for the record, issue you speak of could be many things, first thing that comes to mind is you are weighing pre-morning pee/poop, so this would obvious reflect a change afterwards, even if you have a meal in you
again bro - not really something you need to worry about tracking, keep focus on what truly matters

It's from carrying my heart around with you. That's where the extra weight is from.

That had crossed my mind but then I remembered I had it before the weight gain started ;)

So Im bored here at work and decided to go back through some of my old logs and look at pics....cant believe how sh1tty I looked compared to where im at today...dont get me.wrong im still nowhere near happy with where im at but I didnt realize how bad I was just a year ago (1 of them was actually october of last year so not even a year) Just goes to show patience is key..thought id share these with you guys :)

Thanks bud. Im glad I kept those around for motivation haha. Patience is definitely not my forte so its nice to step back and take a look at the big picture every once in a while.
 
I feel ya. I went through a bad stage where I was in the best shape of my life, got a bad injury, lost 75% of it, and had to get it all back and I am just now passing where I used to be. It sucks thinking hey I'm just back to where I started but now I know the sky is my limit and I can keep on going. You can make whatever changes and progress you want to see in yourself if you work hard enough. It does take time, but they will come and it's worth it.
 
You have the mindset now and know what it takes. That is most of the battle.

Well I think I may have the worlds slowest metabolism so we'll just pick one and roll with it lol im saying leaning out a little and not.gaining any size...but again im good with that
 
I am right there with you I was steadily adding at 2400 cals. Complete recomp, actually slight gains in weight. Had to drop lower to see the weight actually begin to drop.
