Yeah, well, it was the end of the bag. I wasn't counting 2 just to restrict my diet. When they're available, I like to put 3 or 4 in.

Thanks!
Certainly I've had massive improvements to my max and volume from just 4 weeks ago.
Of course that's almost entirely from my muscles trying to get back to where they once were. As soon as I get to that point, I expect new PRs to be smaller and farther apart.

Great workout! Your workouts HAVE gotten a lot more intense and your weights are going up. One thing I want to point out, just because it's something we all do and sometimes we need to have it pointed out - we all have negative beliefs about how hard things will be. The entire "I expect new PRs will be smaller and further apart" may be true - not arguing that - but you are hitting PRs NOW. And you will continue to do so. Don't discount it by saying it's "just getting back where I was" - you aren't where you were because you took time off. It takes a lot to get back in the gym, swallow your pride when you knew you once lifted much more or did much more, and start all over again. It doesn't matter if they come every week or every two weeks, or whatever - what matters is that you are working toward them and doing it. Great work.
And as far as the new low - I fully expect you to be down to 235 very soon. Look at my log - it is so frustratingly cyclical how weight comes off. It's like, 215 to 205, no problem, then to 202, then it stops, then to 205, then it starts, then back to 202, then to 200, then back to 202, then to 195, then to 198, then to 192, etc. It's like every time you hit a new low, you rebound a few pounds and stick there for a moment. The good news is, if you have enough faith and just keep plugging you will have a day on the back end of it where suddenly you lose 2,3,4, even 5 pounds really fast ....and then it starts all over again.
Great work on bringing up the leg curls, fast progress. How are the pull ups coming? Working on that at all?

Yeah, I try to be realistic. That doesn't change the fact that I'm proud of my progress. It's just acknowledging things as they are and setting expectations for the future. That doesn't mean I'm going to try any less.
As for pull ups, I've not made any effort there, yet. I recall them being very hard on my shoulders last time I tried. And also last time, I worked for weeks and never got to where I could do them unassisted. And, I didn't notice it having much effect on how I looked. In short, a lot of pain, little gain, and bigger injury risk. So, I'm just not all that interested in going there, yet.
Maybe when I reach my weight goal. Or, if I stall with my current workout plan.

Around 5:30p I had Brite / Epitome / Gut Health
Dinner was grilled chicken on greek flatbread and a greek yogurt sauce, with some veggies.
Best guess at Macros so far:
Cal: 1365
F: 50
C: 78
P: 196
I'll probably have one more protein shake (maybe in water -- I think we're out of milk) to bump up the protein.
and probably a green drink.
I want to keep my intake low tonight because I have a good chance at a new low weight tomorrow and I don't want to sabbatage that.
Pics and measurements will be tomorrow or Sunday evening, depending on how good or bad I think they are tomorrow!

I went on a brisk 1.5 mile walk early afternoon.
Then around 2p, I applied SN to core and chest.
Around 2:30p, I headed to the gym for a non standard (for me) workout. (fasted)
5 mins brisk paced rowing machine warmup.
I don't know what order I did stuff, but I did
Rope pulls vertical
Rope pulls relatively horizontal.
weighted sled pull
half tire 180 toss
medicine ball tosses against a trampoline
about 15 mins shoulder rehab
10 mins hydrabed
13 mins incline treadmill
post workout weight: 236!!!
That's 3 pounds lower than my previous post workout record (on 9/3)!
That's 31 pounds lost since my high from about 4 months ago.
and 15 pounds list since starting the EvoMuse log on 8/9.
I'm exhausted. But in a good way!
PS: HIT4ME, hairygrandpa, I believe that makes me the only one who's keeping up in your contest, so far!

Great work. Just to float a little on you success - what have I been telling you - just keep plugging and suddenly you will just lose 2-3 pounds. It is so weird but it just seems to work that way. Like your body knows you are looking at a number on a scale and is trying to take away your motivation to keep working and dieting, haha. Proud of you!
And see...you should be in on the challenge and not avoiding it. You will be a competitor.

Well, my goal is just 215 and I think I'll be happy there. At least I intend to stabilize there for a while before deciding whether or not to go down further. I'd like to train my mind and body that 215 is my new standard -- or maybe my new high.
Then after being there for 3 to 6 months, I may look into dropping further. But more likely, I'd be more interested in bulking up while maintaining 215.
We'll see.

Here's the equipment I used in today's workout.
Weighted sled. I pushed this around a bunch. Sometimes straight armed, sometimes arms to chest, and once doing a push up motion.
Invalid Link Removed
Here's the rope pull. It's on a continuous loop and getting to 50 pulls (25 each arm) was actually quite exhausting.
Invalid Link Removed
I took a 6 pound medicine ball and then an 8 pound one and threw it at this trampoline at about 9 feet away. First from the chest, then from overhead. Also exhausting. But, kinda fun.
Invalid Link Removed
This tractor tire is medium heavy (whatever THAT means). It's on an axle and you go to one side, go down like doing squats, grab the bottom of the tire and toss it to the other side. You go to the other side and do it again. Over and over again. (exhausting! )

OH! I also did farmers walk with 65 pound dumbbells. (Guess what? EXHAUSTING! )

Hah! Today was the first time I'd tried any of those (other than the treadmill).
I normally do more traditional lifting. But, I might make this my standard Saturday workout. It's a great mix of anabolic and cardio. Nothing too heavy Mostly just high repetition until very very tired.

Updated macros for today, after another protein shake and some pretzels!
Cal: 1894
F: 97
C: 163
P: 90
56g of those carbs came from a jelly filled donut and a slice of Papa John's S'More pie!
Another 50g from some chocolate milk I had right after my workout (some folks say chocolate milk is ideal right after a grueling workout -- that would be nice, but I'd have had it, anyway! )
Hey, cut me some slack. My daughter brought home a dozen donuts, this morning. And my wife brought a whole S'More pie and a whole Cheesy Bread plate from Papa Johns, this evening.
I had NONE of the donuts or chocolate milk until after my afternoon workout. And limited it to 1 donut and just 2 cups of choc milk. I had 1/3 of one slice of the cheesy bread and a single slice of the s'more pie.
My share of the donuts was 3. My share of the pie was 1/3 of it.
That's some iron willpower there, folks!

DAY 42
Well, I'm a bit depressed. I really felt like I made great progress these past couple of weeks, but you'd never know it from the measurements or the pics.
I put a couple of today's pics next to last weeks and it seemed to me that some of last week's pics looked better!
Oh well. I know I'm improving in the gym. And, the scale DID drop this week, so I won't let it bother me. Too much.

Really? You're depressed? Look at the change since the beginning brother. You're becoming a new you. I went back and looked at your last group of photos and, I see a change in those pics, but I am more impressed with this new group. I see progress. It's REALLY hard to see a visual change in 1-2 weeks. This is a FIGHT. But it becomes habit over time, and you become better at bringing the fight constantly.
I have a question for you, if this isn't too personal, what is your big WHY for wanting to get in shape? And are you enjoying this?
For me, I had an epiphany over time a few years back. I saw my grandmother loose her ability to stand and get out of a chair on her own. She has bad knees and they wouldn't operate because "she was too old" but I really knew that was just the doctors avoiding liability because at the time she was 78-80 years old and I know plenty of other people that age who have had surgeries much worse. They wouldn't operate because she was lazy, didn't take care of herself, and would never recover and they knew it. And I knew she was becoming confined to a chair because she wouldn't fight to change anything.
Then I looked at my dad, who is in his 60's and over 300 pounds and has been all my life. And his knees are shot and he hobbles around in pain and is losing his ability to do the most simple of tasks - in his 60s!!!
And then I looked in the mirror and saw myself on that same path. And I realized, it only gets harder to turn this ship around.
And over time I realized, being in shape isn't about living or dying like everyone pretends. You can be really obese and lazy and weak and live a LONG time. The real question isn't whether you live. It's how much suffering do you really want to put up with while you live? Do you want to be stuck in a chair, unable to move, for the last 10 years of your life? When my grandmother started becoming confined my mom and my aunt were acting like it was the end, and one day I said, "She's out of shape, but not ready to die from old age yet. This could go on for 10 years." And my mom and aunt didn't agree. And that was 3 years ago and she is showing no new issues at all.
And, this came on slowly for me. I started slowly, didn't even change my diet and just started lifting weights. But I started to enjoy it, and started to see that I could suddenly do a little more, and do things I couldn't before. Now, I'm starting to be able to do things that other people look at in my life and they make comments because they can't believe it - like doing weighted pull ups, or just picking something up and moving it when they think it is "so heavy it can't be moved".
So, what is your story? Do you have your "why"? Are you actually having fun? I hope so, cause you're doing great and you should be proud of what you're doing. I see huge progress.

Depressed was too strong a word. But my impression during this last couple of weeks was that I was growing in shoulders, arms and chest, and shrinking in gut. I was EXPECTING to see some bin body comp changes and didn't. So, it was a bit discouraging.
But, yeah, I know it's a long term game. And I AM quite excited about the change from the beginning.
I don't have a BIG WHY. I have more of a KINDA WHY.
I'm just tired of looking fat. I'm tired of huffing when I walk up a single flight of stairs. I'm tired of not being able to play frisbee without being afraid of pulling a hamstring.
I want to be able to enjoy the outdoors -- hiking, kayaking, maybe even some rock climbing. And, I can't do that at 250 pounds, 40% BF.
I want to take my shirt off and have people either think I'm 40 (I'm celebrating my 55th, today) or that I look amazing for a 55 year old.
So, those are good WHYs, but not like Scarlet O'Hara standing in the rain yelling, "With God as my witness, I shall NEVER go hungry again!"
But, it's what I've got.
And, I'm no where near the point of throwing in the towel. Still highly motivated. Just really disappointed in today's measurements and pics, that's all.
Thanks for the encouragement!

Lol, I knew you meant disappointed. Keep in mind, fat is less dense than muscle. Losing a point of fat on your arm will impact size more than losing or gaining 1 pound of muscle on your arms. In other words, you are losing fat and the measurements that are larger are measurements that should be getting smaller, this suggests muscle gain. Things like your waist are getting smaller ..suggesting fat loss. I think your measurements are showing recomp.

Yep. The trick with cheats/refeeds is limiting it to the one night. There are always leftovers with the sweet siren call!
Plus, my kids say they're making root beer floats tonight (ugh). The plan was for that to be part of the birthday celebration but they forgot to buy ice creme (and we don't shop on Sunday). So, it's tonight.
I'll probably keep my day calories low enough to enjoy ONE float, tonight without totally derailing. I'll precede it with some Defuse.

There were chips, dip, pizza, cake, and pop sitting around the kitchen all day today.
I partook of none of it.
Today's run:
Down:
0.76 miles in 6:08
That's a couple seconds faster than my record -- which surprised me because I felt sluggish. My legs were still somewhat sore/tired from Saturday's workout.
Up:
0.84 miles in 14:00
Looks like I paid for my record DOWN with a much slower time going UP.
I think my record UP is 12:37.
But in fairness, I didn't take as long a rest before starting back up. Normally, I at least wait for my breathing to return to normal. And I stretch. But I was still breathing heavy and no stretching when I started back up.
Post workout weight: 239.8
I know I pushed my run plenty hard because I was still coughing periodically, 2 hours later.
Dinner around 6p. I took Defuse right before.
1 Polish Dog on a deluxe white bun
w/ condiments.
A couple hours later, I had 2 more polish dogs, plain.
and a root beer float consisting two cans of root bear and 4 or 5 scoops of ice creme.
The ice creme all by itself did the big damage. 1450 calories!

(Cuz I yell take that KAPrice after I bench a new PR)

175
I'm finding it practically impossible to REALLY go for a max on the free weight bench without a spotter. I think I could have gotten an extra rep on each of the 175s but I didn't dare.
But, in my gym, spotting isn't a "thing" unless you bring your own partner. I've been in gyms where it's common to ask someone if they'd spot you. I'm sure I could ask someone in this gym and they'd say yes, but I've never seen it done.
Also, I've come to believe in the benefit of short rest periods between sets and when you start swapping with spotting partners, you end up with long rests.
So, I'm torn. I'll probably just keep playing it safe and never quite pushing for that last rep -- the one where two fingers under the bar gets you locked.

No, because I'm not hitting 185 x 10. But, I intend to when I get there -- unless you've gotten to 200 x 10 by then!

Yes, not benching 185 x 10....YET!
You started behind me and you are closing the gap, keep going. I am going to put up a fight though. But I expect I will be trying to catch you soon enough.

I think you said you hit 185 x 8, right?
