I am planning on going to the gym today and trying to roll, stretch, and do some type light strength training on the legs not to hurt myself but to work the muscle of hamstring and quads. I know leg extension is bad but I can get down with the leg curl machine as well as potentially a light one legged press. I was also…

While = evil. Sigh auto correct.

Sacrificed a pampered chef pizza dough roller to roll out quad tonight. Getting some while eyes saying if it touched my feet I have to buy her a new one :) lol

Yep that be the one. I would have named it but my memory bank couldn't see the logo. Concept 2 is exactly it. Thank you for this piece. About the setting. As you can tell noob here. And yes you are spot on regarding the routine. I am still figuring out what the final bits are to something that doesn't change. I approach…

Several year old Nike shocks. Never used to exercise. I have wondered if they helped contribute and keep trying to remember if I wore my chucks (converse all stars) the first run when I had no issue

It is also sore to the touch. Meaning I can press on the inside area below my knee a little and cause some pain. Not severe but noticeable and annoying. Really gets going after the drive home in the car since it takes an hour and that is my driving leg which is an hour

Thank you to everyone who has replied. This is a reply to you all. I am not a runner. Started lifting with a variation of SL 5x5 with many accessories and using the leg press over squat do to insecureities over form. Training since march (lift wise). This past 4-6 weeks started working in cardio on rest days to get a…

I will also mention all my burned calories are based off an Apple Watch sync through the day.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I will follow in the lead of those that have gone before as to not repeat the same mistakes in an attempt to sprint out a process that is a marathon. Something of note, it was mentioned to not eat back the calories from workouts. I have been using the app and after working out and…

No offense taken. It takes a lot more than the truth (I'm old) to trigger me. Someone once said I was pms'ing on here and triggered a hell of a laugh out of me. Keep the diggs coming as far as I am concerned it is all motivational in one way or another. Go Buckeyes, this past Saturday was too damn close. Wisconsin almost…

I do, as in think I am holding too much fat. Part of me wants to rip the band-aid off and go for a little more cut to something like 1500 or less just to hurry up on the cut side of things. I am down for the lifting. I look forward to going to the gym everytime now a days. Recently got a little runners knee from this…

Thanks for the replies and thoughts. I also rather enjoyed the discussion about chadlike and how I am not the demo that should be using the term.....which was a nice way to say I am too old to use chad as a adjective on the internets. That said, it appears that the consensus is I should not focus on my weight as a metric…

For those that may ask 6'0"

Wth, can't say the S word on here? Awesome that is replaced it with *kitten*

I totally agree with Tim above about the staying on track more than off the track is king. None of this happens over night. This journey takes patience. For me the physical changes (early so the gains were easy, as I have only been at it for 5 months and was full on middle age man skinny fat) are motivating the *kitten*…

I know....alcohol ruins all things when it comes to fitness *sadface* It messes with recovery as well after lifts. It's not a must for me, but is a nice to have. The fries.....it was well....I got nothing. So you are correct when you said are you even trying! The answer yesterday is a flat out no.

Most definitely. It's just managing, working and making the hard choices No pain. No pain.

You triggered me on the PMS too. I was like how dare you pms me. LoL

Well said, and yes tomorrow is another shot to get it right. Beer is the devil. It is going to be the lifestyle decision that is put to the test. Quit the dip recently. Back in march when I started this process / choices. Now I have to give up beer too, just to have my vanity? Sigh.

And it's not just ending the day in red from cut goal. But it's ~ 200 over TDEE

Over 1000 cal for a 6 inch sub. I got the smallest one i could! LOL Didn't need to pile on the fries. They looked good. Atleast I did water and not the lemonade too #nomorepennstation

That is my problem over doing it in weekends the blowing the macros for the entire week. The good news I am aware of it, acknowledge it, which means I can do something about it.

Thank you. So far so good.

Been lifting 3 time a week with row machine on rest days. Weekend full rest. Also when I am wrecking my gains because of the silver bullet. No loss in weight. But physical changes enough to keep me at it dedicated since march of this year. Eating good food, getting the water in. Could always do better on water. Also gave…

Could use some mad scientist in the what I am supposed to be doing. Currently running on a 500 cal deficit. Mentally with cheat weekends and too many beers on the weekends. Today, I start with tracking. A 'diary'
