There was a time early on when my wife and I both noticed irritability in me when I toyed with low carb. after a few practice runs at full 36hr fasts it faded away completely. however, I would... -
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Yeah, even Jesus loved to eat! But he also fasted. I’m just not there yet, and I get far too irritable for any IF.
-
totally get it, the hardest part of fasting is the social protocol. it "can" be done. But I'm also at a point where small things like having dinner with my wife is often more important so I...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Well, I had planned to skip when it was supposed to be a big bbq event, but some people cancelled and it turned into a sit down semi-formal dinner, so my daughter’s bf family is all staring at me...

Bane, that ain't a bad look at all!

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Good points which I need a reminder of as well. The deficit induced irritability is getting me also. 😔

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! We were dealing with an intense heat wave (102 one of the days) and some intense thunderstorms while camping, but still managed to get in plenty of time... -
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.And back to 209.2 today. Upper workout later. Saw a picture of myself from my daughter’s birthday party last week and was pleasantly surprised. I’m much closer to the first goal of Hardy’s...

Nicely done 👍

It was awesome! And all the TDS folks at our BBQ disappeared and just up and left when I turned on Trump's Speech and the record breaking firework show [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Weight: 211.0 I did end up eating at the bbq, but only had 1 plate and estimate that I went over maintenance by a few hundred calories. Eating my own meal before showing up helped circumvent any...

Yeah that’s the crazy part, I DO set them down and back - very meticulously. But because my elbow can be so tight & tough to get the last couple inches of ROM if it’s bound up, at the last moment...

FWIW, on any given work week when I’m not eating carbs there’s usually a day that will stick out as particularly rough for fatigue, while most of the others will be relatively fine. So I would say...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Roger that. Thanks.

Agree with Dustin, unless hypertrophy is the primary goal of a movement you generally want to do as much as you can reasonably tolerate for the day on strength work. Better to keep the weight up...
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Not nearly as sore as I thought I’d be. Next time will be 5 sets of 3, maybe a bit more weight.
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Good call. Hypertrophy is not my goal with squats or or deads, so maybe I’ll just focus on what I can low. I think I recover better from low rep higher intensity better also.
-
yeah dude those are some heavy pauses. IMO this is a trap! lol. I did this so many years running my CNS into the ground. Can't hit 315 for a set today? I"ll just do 225 until I destroy myself...
-
That is still some good work for paused squats, I am sure it did the trick!

As Arnold said there is no right way for everyone. You have to find the right way for you. Some people do better with lower volume higher intensity, and vice versa. I think that is always a part...

Yep, the real issue here though I think - and in today's society in general, particularly on social media - is that context matters. You can't just read the abstract of a study. You can't...
