If anything, I'd say it's pretty damned admirable that you were able to transition into "let's keep this together" mode after coming from a competitive background. Hell, I'd much rather see someone who maintains your attitude, over all of the "I used to squat (insert likely BS amount here)" coming from the mouths of people who now have what look like packs of hotdogs on the back of their necks.2 -
@psuLemon
I'd say eat some ice cream- always makes you feel better- but well- that's not going to help you or me. LMAO.
womp womp. I feel the same way about my pants. ALL THE FLUFF is keeping the clothes tight. I'm debating going to buy new pants- but I'm trying to hold out- in 15 pounds- they SHOULD fit. sigh. #strugglebusisreal
Chocolate marshmellow and Klondikes are what got me into this mess... and a pregnant wife.... super nauseated and can only eat a few things (ice cream is one of those things)... Ironically, she has lost 16 lbs so far. I'm jealous, ha.
Well it being pretty much summer, do you have dresses?
OMG! Have you had the caramel pretzel? I love those. I must try the chocolate marshmallow!
Funny - the talk of keeping bigger clothes. I did a closet purge a few months ago but I kept 3 pairs of jeans and 2 yoga pants that are a tad big because I was thinking about bulking again - before I even finished cutting!
I just finished the first week of thinner, leaner, stronger. I like it but am a little worried. Bench press once a week?!?! It just seems wrong.
I am a fairly equal opportunity Klondike eater. But the Chocolate Marshmallow was ice cream.. I realized I left that last part off.
I am starting to share similar concerns with BLS. While there is bench 2x a week (in the four day), I am thinking the frequency is lacking since most things are 1x a week (it's an upper/lower, but core lifts are only once a week).
I do like the simplicity of the program and the progression scheme, so it's definitely been on my head on whether to switch or not.
My program is, I am still seeing noob gains but am debating if I am leaving anything on the table.
Interesting. I had been debating TLS or BLS. It sounds like TLS might have a little more lower body work and BLS might have a little more upper body work?
I am also doing the 4 day split:
Chest/Triceps/Calves
Back/Butt/Biceps/ABS
Shoulders/Calves
Legs/Butt/ABS
It has me doing squats twice a week. Deadlift once, but RDL the next time. I am going to do it as written for the first 8 weeks. If I feel like I am not progressing I might just add a bench press to shoulder/calves day. I am tapped out for any gains on bench from my previous program so I really do need to do something different.
@Gallowmere1984 - Truly awesome deltoids!
Ditto, Gallowmere!
It's funny how different perceptions can be. I learned on TLS. I didn't know until I joined MFP a year ago that a five-day split isn't a normal starting point. My schedule changed (it's my husband's turn for the year to go to the gym 3 weekday mornings, so I only have 4 days available to me for weight training) a few months ago and I switched to A Workout Routine's Upper/Lower split. At first I liked it, but I think that was just the newness of it. I just switched back to a 4 day split because I didn't feel like any body part except legs was getting enough attention.
I'm going to keep this for the summer and then try my hand at BLS over the winter.0 -
@DancingMoosie I think you asked me about my Old Navy jean leggings?
I totally put together a picture for you- and now I can't get it to the computer. LOL womp womp- why MFP won't let you load pictures off your phone into a thread yet is beyond me.0 -

I know these 3 pounds I am up are pre-TOM pounds. I do not suck this bad at cutting. (Just talking myself down over here. Don't mind me.)0

Idk how to load them to a thread, but it's easy to do in your status update. I don't think I'm on your friends list...0 -

2 cups of spinach, 130g of black beans, 90g of corn, 75g of avocado, 14g of cheese, 4 tbsp of salsa, 2 tbsp of ranch, one roma tomato, 45g of basmati rice (with lime, salt and parsley - very similar to the chipotle rice). I was going to add some chicken, but I didn't have any unfrozen and i was too lazy to unfreeze it.
And the bowl is something like 14". So it's a ton of volume.2 -

I'll have to take the time this summer to really sit down and read the book and make sure that I understand it. Except for my brief Upper/Lower split stint I've been strictly 3 sets, 8 reps.0
