"Take #345 - aaaand go!"

Welcome! Feel free to add me :)

Y'all do know the OP started this thread 2 years ago, right?

I'm lifting less weight. My body comp is slowly changing - very slowly. Need to lose the BF and have a ways to go. But I miss the weight I used to lift - I started losing gains when I increased my calorie deficit to try to lose fat quicker. Don't think that was a good idea.

I need to get him on MFP so he can read all your awesome replies. And it all makes so much sense. :drinker:

Hmm, didn't even think of a combination of the two. Any laid out programs that cater to this concept? Curious to see what it would look like. I actually did bring up Wendler's about 6 months ago. But because we work out at home, it would be kind of difficult to do some of the assistance work that's required since we don't…

By the way, I think he's TOO keen on the gospels of Kali Muscle. Basically - he's into the broscience of it all :noway: Okay so maybe I should wait to work on my gains until I'm at a body mass I'm comfortable with? I've been hovering around 180 since December and would prefer to be about 30-40 pounds south of that number.

Never heard of this but definitely will be checking it out. GAINS!! His goals are to get ripped. He was a bit on the thin side when we met...moved to America, land of the fast food, and bulked like he wanted. But now he needs to cut as his bulk phase was a bit too successful. Which is why it surprised me that he went on…

Sounds cool! I've registered :)

Just curious but how tall are you?

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

I try to get at least 1700 but I'm more concerned with my protein goal which is 160g daily. The scale has been slow to change but I've lost about 13-15 inches all over my body in the past 12 months. Slowly but surely I'm getting there.

1.5-2 hours of lifting - mainly high-rep compound lifts at the moment 2 hours of cardio but upping that to 3-4 hours - jogging/mountain biking

Yeah, not sure why I started getting stomach aches. I went through a whole tub of pre-workout with no problems. Maybe I should've taken more breaks. But I had to go off it. I did like it though - I did feel as if it gave me an edge on the lifts. But I'm doing well now too so don't think I'll be going back.

Same here.

I see lower numbers the next morning when I have a glass or two of wine the night before. I read it's supposed to work as a diuretic since alcohol has a dehydrating effect. Seems to work for me.

Sounds like me! :) Lift 3x per week and also mountain bike on the weekends. Love to eat and get in my proteins. Anyone is free to add me :)

When I lived by myself, I would "treat" myself with one of those frozen party pizzas with a side of fries and ranch dressing. I miss that :( lol

That made my mouth water.

It's not nice to plagiarize. If you took this information from someone else, you should credit the source. Just sayin'...

Easy sources for protein: greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder (I sprinkle in protein powder in my coffee, yogurt and cottage cheese - great way to increase protein), eggs, meats and fish (all you need is 6 oz of any lean meat and you're good). Check out my diary - I eat 160+ grams of protein easily.

My husband and I ride weekly - and hard. We got the Gravity and Motobecane bikes cheap online and have had no problems - and I punish my bike on each ride. The hubs added seat suspension on mine for smoother rides. So far so good with ours!

I never cleaned my plate. In fact, my mom purposely served herself less so that she could finish my leftovers - or my brother would just eat them. Either way, the food was going to get eaten. My husband, however, was raised with that "clean your plate" mentality. I also don't clean my plate when we visit his parents - and…

Maybe you're going to a sh!tty Subway?

A six-incher is all that fits........ .......in me belly. :happy:

Use protein powder as snow.

Lolz
