Not a lift... But still, a bit of a strength flex lol

so nice to see your face! Looking awesome with a buzz

Great pic, but yeah, MFP is not the same with the newsfeed gone

Shredded!

Parental guilt is a real doozy. All you can do is remind yourself that you did the best you could with the knowledge and experience you had. Good thing is that she had the surgery and is recovering. Sending lots of healing vibes her way

Great pic Chris!

Been a tough week. My son has been struggling and I've been up till almost 2:00 in the morning every night this week with him. My eldest is also been in the middle of a huge pain flare and is needed more help with food and such. Still I managed to make it to the gym and did bench, deadlifts and leg press. (cut the rest of…

I have been finding it hard to get consistent workouts in with Baseball (Slo-Pitch) happening 2 (or 3) nights a week. I'm still trying to average 2 heavy sessions a week though and for the most part, I'm winning. My knee does act up on me ever since ball started, but so far it just gets puffy and not painful. I also took a…

I can't see any benefit to the friends feature, now that the feed is gone. Seems rather useless to add friends if you can't see their progress or updates. Not unless you use it as a list of people to go and separately stalk on the forums, as there appears to be no connection between the Friends and Community sections.

I do find it hard to quit this place, though I get sad when I log in and see no feed. I do find the feed at Lose It nice and active and the food diary is pretty good too, so maybe I'll just keep coming back here for this feed! HAHA. I do have quite a few favourite peeps here.

Well done! Skipping is sooooo not my forte!

it doesn't work the same. Not even close.

Not a lift, but here's something different!

I lift in a powerlifting gym. I will often record my max set of my major lifts (squats, dead, bench) and the majority of the reason is because I want to have the proper form (checking depth for squats, ramping / hitching / efficiency of lift for deads, stability / arch / flare of the elbows for bench). In a comp, the depth…

Even if they do, the ones who left probably won't come back.

Sad to hear that you are disappointed, but still so impressed at how well you did! I am sure that feeling sick contributed to your performance, and given how much you were off on your spares, it's even more impressive that you still placed so well! Be proud Gus, you did great! Congrats on the doubles standings too! Is…

This means a lot and I hope it keeps going. Would be nice to see others keep joining in and adding from time to time. I have also really enjoyed the dialog and lifting discussions we've had. It's definitely one of my fav threads! (but I'm kinda biased. Lol) Thanks for the kind words Chris. That means a tonne to me!

It's an app for logging and has a community with forums and a newsfeed. I think I like the logging and some of the extras better there, but it doesn't do gifs or pics like the forums do here. You just post links to google/amazon photos or ig content. Thanks Gus!

You are probably on to something here. I really wish I was more in tune with my body to understand why some days I'm a total beast under the bar and other days just a little beastish. HAHA I think your experiment with your triples has been a really neat thing to do, and while you may start "failing" some of the sets, I…

Just as an fyi... with the newsfeed gone, my desire to come to MFP has waned a lot. I used to check in with my friends and then check in with the community and this thread. I don't feel like I connect as well in the community as I did with the people on my FL, and half the time my social anxiety makes me feel like my posts…

Its sad and ironic. I was a user of MFP for 12+ years - using the free version. They took away the newsfeed and I moved over to Lose It. I have now purchased an annual membership there to use features that were free here. Those features (the newsfeed, scanning, customizing food diary), had they been moved to a paid version…

Mine is gone now too So weird that I feel so sad about this. 😔

well, you can post links to pics from IG / Google photos / etc. The links work on the browser version. So much like I used a hybrid combo to use MFP, I'll do the same for LI!

Feels like MFP forums have become an advertisement for the Lose It! app! haha. Sorry MFP... kind of did it to yourself. Pretty soon they'll make "Lose It!" a swear word and it'll get replaced with "kitten" every time someone types it! HAHAHA

Really wondering what the point of having "friends" on here is for if they: a) cannot see or support your progress / work (no news feed) b) don't link to the community forums in any way (not like there is a filter on here to see your friends posts) c) can't even see their diaries or activity logs With the newsfeeds gone...…

Yes, MFP decided that the newsfeed was a little used function and they were not going to support it anymore. A lot of long timers have moved over to the Lose It! app (as they DO have a newsfeed).

Tried kayak fishing. Loved it!

Managed to do 8,8,10x255lb tonight for deads... 3,2,2x130lb for bench and 3x8x639lb for leg press. Bring on the gains!

That is so epic, Gus! Congrats on all your hard work and on how well you're doing so far! You're a winner in my book already! Hope your wife recovers quickly from her surgery. So great that you're spending your lunch time with her. That's a man with awesome priorities in my book!

I am sure they could have converted MANY of us to paid or reduced fee memberships just so we could keep it. But they chose instead to alienate a huge part of the long term customer base. LoseIt takes a bit of getting used to, but their web version (which is also available on the phone browser) is largely reminiscent of the…
