I did this for the flat db presses and having hit tri’s the day b4, they were much less of a limiting factor. I did the incline flyes in a similar manner. Keep tension on the pec, didn’t touch db’s at top of arc. Full Active Range of Tension… or F.A.R.T. If you will
. Pecs r feeling it this a.m.I wanted to blame it on being bald. Get a class action going

It sure is flying by. Tweaked the elbow a bit in last workout. Didn’t feel anything during workout but it was sore once I cooled down. Right elbow. To be expected. Same side as torn tricep. Dr saw a lot of arthritis in elbow. We’ll see what p!sses it off today.
I’ll just be passive aggressive w it
that's an awkward speed for me, it's like a fast jog but not enough to open up the gait, but a little too fast to just speed walk it lol. I always land on either 5, or 6-7+ lol
It’s def a brisk, brisk walk. I’m sure I look like a speed walk douche

The pull-downs at working weight was when it lessened. Almost like the stretch at the top of the motion was like a dead hang?
I got hit w something nasty the weeknd after thanksgiving. Head cold, body ache, no fever, but then it parked in my lungs. This is the first week I’ve been able to not cough between sets. Doing a slow but steady fat loss phase from 12-1-24 until the end of January. Doing it all diet related, no supps or magic potions. Even stopped the berberine as I want to see how I handle carbs w/out it in rotation. Daily cals are at 2250. Started this at an avg of 218lbs(I’d float from 217-220). I was sitting at 212.6 at yest weigh-in. Some SLOW progress is better than no progress!!! Should have taken a “Day 1” photo but I didn’t.Looking forward to new construction!
Did you get that new position at work?
Ah yeah something else will come along!
180p 60f 315c. 220c on non-lifting days
Good to be back. Been lurking and lifting…if that doesn’t make me sound CREEPY. Lmaooo
Thanks man! 1.5lb a week is slightly below my 2% of BW/week target, but I’ll take it. I’m surely not losing any muscle at this pace
Thank you! I hadn’t been sick since thanksgiving 2021. Odd I got the same thing/felt the same way both times and I was on-call for work both times. Cue the Alanis Morissette…Glad you’re feeling better….good job on the weight loss.
As long as you’re progressing in the right direction is a win…..good job.
Thanks GP!!! I know nothing works unless you do! I did notice as I cut cals I wanted to move less. Just little things like “on your way back to the living room, could you grab me a bottle of water” instead of me getting off my ass and getting it myself. Or stopping at the top of the driveway to grab the mail instead of pulling in and walking back up.As long as you’re progressing in the right direction is a win…..good job.
I actually like the looks of that Recomp 20, may have to add that to the stash.
Nice work! Sounds like kept strength and improvement on some lifts, solid work!
Thanks Bro!!! I went w Prime Butcher 1 meal a day. Not super cost effective but amazing taste!!!Nice recomp man... And even during "New England Bulking Season"!! (Winter)
You gotta do what it takes to set yourself up for success, so this was probably a good move despite the cost this time. Now you really understand the importance of simplifying your food prep for your compliance. You have to have a plan, even if it’s just resorting to X premade things. You can always use a cheaper service or food product next time.Thanks Bro!!! I went w Prime Butcher 1 meal a day. Not super cost effective but amazing taste!!!
Thank you Sir!!!
Yep, the waist never lies…..pants getting loose and having to tighten your belt is the true barometer of fat loss. My wife gets extremely happy when her pants get loose. Funny thing is it makes her feel sexier so she’s more frisky.Thank you Sir!!!
Prime Butcher is AMAZING. It’s a higher end butcher shop. I grab 6lb of marinated chicken, 6lb of marinated sirloin tips, and 10lb of ground beef. I break the chicken and steak into 1lb pkgs that the Misses and I can split for a dinner each night. I break the beef into 5lb bags and we do meatballs or meatloaf, patties, or I’ll just do ground beef in the skillet. Also got a rice cooker and have been enjoying a lot of Jasmine Rice. Call me a heathen but I put the chix breast in the air fryer at 375 for 25 min and you could cut it w a fork!!!
My better half felt that rice made one fat. So, we had rice and a protein and a veg every night for dinner. I’d have a half cup and she’d have maybe a 3rd cup of rice. This has been going on since Dec 1st. She was getting dressed the other day and was getting into her “favorite” jeans. I hear “I’m going to have to throw these in the dryer and shrink them up, I need a belt to keep them from falling down”. To which I reply, “must be all that rice making you fat”.
I found that her being unaware of my attempt at weight loss and just “phasing it in” at dinner drastically put me in a position to succeed. She has lost more weight than I have. Win, win as far as I am concerned.
I don't think it's a big deal unless you were on a very low fat diet. Fiber can mess with the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, the more fat you have consumed the less likely it's a issue. At least to the best of my knowledge. In a situation where you are on a low fat diet you could take your fish oils or whatever you're using for omega's and take that with your fat soluble vitamins.
I had the same thoughts. Don’t take my omegas etc w it. It’s really hard to find a time where I haven’t eaten within the last 3 hrs or am not going to eat in the next 3 hrs to consume a fiber product. But we have all done a protein w oatmeal and I’m sure that didn’t negate the body’s ability to absorb the protein.
40-60 g of fat a day so prob not an issue. I don’t like veggies, have never eaten broccoli, not a big salad guy. So w out a fiber sup, eating 175-200 g of protein can become a problem. lol
I got to tell ya, so far T-Bones (a chain) is still the best around for a burger (for me).
Can’t speak for Broderick, because he gears literally none of his rhetoric for naturals.
We got there 2 min before they open at 11 and we still waited 20 min. The entire time spent there was roughly 2 hrs. WELL WORTH ITWe go to Tuckaway as well, really good place... Other restaurants around (Granfinallys, etc) use their (Tuckaways) butcher shop meat for their own burgers. We try to get there 5 mins or so before they open (on a SAT) otherwise the wait is forever, and I wont wait... Ive been on a burger-kick for the last year, trying every place I think of (that is how I spend my Saturdays
