Agreed. I was once a low BF percentage and used to power until I went into the Army; then, in the infantry I grew to enjoy endurance events and ran 1/2 marathons. Now, after coming back from injury, by bodyfat is 24%: way to high for me. Now, I am quickly dropping the fat off, again, without losing lean muscle. I lift…

What is your water intake like?

Listen to your body. If you are exercising a whole bunch, you might consider raising your calories for a bit; lower them on the rest days. It is easier to burn the fat off than starve it off.

Very cool ^^^

LOL, those ropes are in the gym I go to. And that video about sums it up. ^^^

I try to get in 40 minutes a day in addition to lifting 2 on/1 off. I have a sedentary job, so it is important for me to be active everyday. Yes, it is working. Muscle is staying on, and fat is coming off; I am happier; I have more energy; and I recover well enough to not burn out or overtrain.

I keep busy, which keeps my mind off having to eat. I have projects going on. I think keeping my protein levels at 45% of my calories keeps the hunger monster away. Like you already said, water is important, and you are drinking plenty. Then, if I really want something, I have it, but I choose to burn the fat off and not…

Welcome, and way to rock the bench.

Dang, dude, are you part of that Anonymous group getting my photo? (joking). I feel like he looks, sometimes.

Blast "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner as your alarm. That's how we used to get up every frick'n morning on the ranch to through hay bales when we were exhausted from the day before.

Burn it off. Don't starve it off.

No, you're going to kill it! Punish that 225! That's easy weight. I expect 25 reps, at least.

Gym. Accountability and motivation. After you've been going for a while, people notice when you take a day off and they ask you what's going on. Where I am at, guys are in an undeclared competition for results. At home, it's too easy to skip a day or not be as intense - at the gym, there are people watching. -

I thought it was about drawing.

As someone with a similiar story and a few weeks ahead of you, I would do the following (only based on the fact it is working for me). Now, that I am older, I need a little more rest, but the strength is coming back fast. Stick with what you can do 10 reps for 5-7 sets. Day 1: upper body, Day 2 lower body, and Day 3 rest;…

I look forward to hearing your results. A good pump up song for the contest: "Let the Bodies His the Floor" - Drowning Pool - -
