Ive done many things for bacon (hangs head in shame)

I keep a stapler in my gym bag just incase.

You gotta watch out, a grapefruit shot my dog and stole my truck...

Raspberry ketones.....

as of tonight it is Tall Grass Buffalo Sweat Stout. Normaly I just drink Killians Irish Red.

Squat to stands as seen here : http://stronglifts.com/squats-improve-hip-flexibility-exercise/ and any movements that I can feel a good stretch in the adductors and hamstrings. doing good mornings with an empty bar just to have something pushing my shoulders down and letting my hamstrings stretch helps allot too.

I had an issue with tight muscles and ligaments in the legs and that was causing knee pain until I learned to stretch. Also if your new to the lifts keep the weight light until you get the form perfected and slowly work up the weight. Don't know if this helps, but Just brings back memories of my early problems. A year ago…

how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop....... the world may never know.

I was going to start a new thread for my second 8 week cut, but I think that I might as well just keep using the same one. I don't see much point in posting finish pictures from the first phase because you all kicked my *kitten* as far as changing your appearance. good job everybody. can't wait to see whats underneath in…

NIce job man, I hope to be that lean some day.

hey, thats a hell of a job so far, keep it up!!!

Results from http://usmc.pftcalculator.com/ 17.9% bf from 23.99 been on maintenance all week/not logging, just eating based on hunger…

According to my calendar Im done cutting today. I have been so god awful busy building my new career up that I have not been posting here in nearly 2 weeks. I still logged and have dropped weight consistently. I forgot to take measurments and pictures today before hitting the gym and eating, so Ill get finish numbers up in…

Shake weight

pick a direction and kill it, see it thru. you will prosper. Enjoy your bulk!!!

still here, still in it. just too damn busy to update my posting. 2.5 weeks left I think... I have lost track. Diet the last few days has suffered due to being so damn busy and stressed at work. When I say suffered, I mean Im not eating enough. 2 days @ or below BMR. I lifted this morning and felt ok, but I need to make a…

Squats bench press and pendlay rows. Think im getting sick. Lacked energy and endurance and now getting a pretty nasty sore throat. If I feel better in the morning I will do some cardio.

20 minutes Fasted HIIT followed by 30 minutes max incline treadmill. Wont be around food till supper time. That oughta cook some fat.

Bit at least if I did this id hit my fiber goal....... and then some. Sounds fun!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feed back and support. I am dropping my creatine supplement as of yesterday minus any they have included in the pre-workout stuff and I know there is some added to at least one of my protein powders. I never noticed a change in body weight, muscle fullness, or endurance/recovery when I started…

Thats what she said.

defintely can see the progress, don't be discouraged, keep kicking *kitten*.

thanks man. really need to buckle down for the next 3 weeks.

Next up, Sea weed crisps taste just like chips!!!! only if chips taste like fishy turf grass and turn to slime after a moment in your mouth. seriously though. I just did oven roasted chick peas last night and they were really tasty, I will try the green beans once. I try everything once. Even tried the rocky mountain…

still have not taken the time to do pictures and my diet has sucked *kitten* this week. Still hit every workout though. It will be interesting to see where numbers land on Sunday when I check in for end of week 5. Oven Roasted chicken and roasted potatoes for supper tonight and will probably have a massive egg white omelet…

I guess I should have looked closer at the sheet you guys were referring too, I thought it was giving a TDEE including her running. which now that I think on it 1900 would be insanely low for high mile running. anyway you look at it, she should be nailing that 1900 every day as a minimum rather than the 12-1300?

the key of course is at that point your not eating back your exercise calories but instead eating that 1950 or close to that every day. I was stuck in the same rut a year ago, and now that my body settled down from actually feeding it, Im losing 1-1.5 lbs a week at 2100-2400 a day, no endurace running, just weights and…

I would be really interested to hear what that spread sheet suggests for your intake compared to what you have been on. I thik Foxy is on the right track, if your religiously following a marathon training program, then your tdee is going to be plenty high.
