I would count em. Tbh. Body still processes them. They are dead cals like alcohol.
 
I count them just because I don't care to think about it too much.
 
I don't count fibrous carbs, but do alcohol sugars, FWIW. The calories all get counted though.
 
Today starts my strict diet no more cheat meals everything is going to fit in or I don't eat it this is for me and my wife, I cheat and she thinks she can it ends today

Notes
Good day still got some work to do on front squats depth is still a touch high for me used my powerlifts today to see if that would help.

Deadlift felt good focused on speed from warmup then staying tight on the pauses then back to speed on amrap

Seated good mornings were different really showed I need more flexibility in the hip so I'm going to work on that.

Lunges were done the same as last week

That's it thanks for reading

Great job surviving.
 
...and on the FS.
 
So I increased my protein from 180 to 200 a day been at the 180 mark for 6 months now I'm not sure if it will make any difference thou

If anything, it'll make you opt for more satiating foods

I know this is true when it's my lower day calorie day I focus on quality foods less processed whole foods. High days I still stick to this thinking except post workout normal throw in a couple not so great items like fat free Pringles or something like that

I noticed as long as my calorie aren't too low on my low calorie days (a difference is as little as say 100 calories) the higher fat leaves me less hungry then higher carb days

Just an observation I've made over the 2-3 years of dieting

Edit: I also cut down on my caffeine by about ½

Try to flatten/spread your foot while you squat, buddy. That and wrap ankles with a knee wrap before squats.

Wasn't trying to come off like an ass but just don't want to spout off an answer to something I know little about and still try to work on myself. If I got a problem I normal consult Dr. Google or u guys lol

And see Dr. Herderdude came through for u. I'd maybe try to roll your arches too

Thank you herder sir. I'll try a voodoo floss during warm ups. I am working on addressing it. Thanks again

Yeah, wrap and elevate for 5-10min before squatting, and I like to push really hard into dorsiflexion and eversion while I'm wrapped as well

No I thought you might be implying I'm a wise ass or a jokester...bc I am :D haha
 
So whats everyone using for joint health been getting some cracking from my right knee

Currently taking fish oil and was taking OT with greens but due to financial difficulties I needed to go cheaper
 
Just fish oil here, but curious as to what is beneficial and cheap as well.
 
Yea they have that. Unfortunately they don't have much topical outside tiger balm. There is a sore muscle run that makes a great lubricant for graston.

Zyflamend is supposed to be very good as well.
 
K ill look to those my knee doesn't hurt or ache it just clicks a lot more now seems after I've stopped taking OT
 
Hmm...ask about fast acting joint care. Pretty cheap. Had the glucosamine, chondroiton, msm, hyarulonic acid, and I am pretty sure a couple anti inflammatory herbs. 20 bucks
 
PF work
7min Warm-up cycling
Did the stretch I posted with various others
Lite leg press with calf raises, then heavy standing smith machine calf raises standing on 2.5lbs plates worked up to 4 plates and a 25 on each side for amrap

Then HIIT stairstepper
30sec on 30sec off for 8 cycles then 5 min break then repeat above Holy sweat

Thats it good time. Still trying to keep the wife going she can't do much machine ab work because of her weight so that depressed her a bit I think. She is coming along thou said that she is starting to enjoy it a bit more :-)
 
Once she starts seeing what a couple months can do there is a good chance she could get hooked to where you don't even have to try.
