The thing about eating frequently and on schedule is that you never give yourself time to get overly hungry, which leads to bnging and cravings for bad foots. Eat like it's your job, not as a recreational activity. It's 10:00, time to eat a piece of chicken and a little bit of rice. If you plan, prep, and know what's in store for the day, you don't leave room for bad decisions.

Routine, routine routine. Build it it becomes part of you, good or bad. Your choice which routine to build.

People tell me all the time they don't see how I can have the discipline I have ( And I am far from perfect) like I'm some kind of freak, I just have been doing the routine for so long I feel off if I deviate for very long.

My favorite is when people say something to the effect it must be easy for you thats why you can do it. No its not easy its years of being focused on the results. Nobody likes getting up at 4:30 to work out or run. Or doing it after work etc....they like it after the work is done though.

My wife always tells me that it's easy for me because I'm on testosterone. No, it's not easy, but it's possible because I pay attention to what I'm doing and I don't eat bags of candy when I'm at work.

I just got a bike the past week riding the **** out of it has been along of fun good for fitness as well

...and it's a great way to stay in shape

I have been rowing recently. I just need a solution to my garage cooling. I think I need to bite the bullet for a ductless mini split.

Let's talk about chicken. How do you season it and cook it? Any low calorie sauces you put on it?

I'm gonna pull the trigger on an Ebike soon. Fuk all the pedaling!

I need to regain some muscle mass.

I had the brilliant idea of trying to carry my 350+ pound fwb on my back a few weeks ago. Didn't work out and my back hurt for about a week.

I've got no numbers to back it up, but maxing out just doesn't seem prudent, IMO.

Obviously there is always an element of wanting to push yourself in the gym, but this thread is a great cautionary tale. It's a bunch of old broken dudes who once deadlifted 400 lbs lol

I know you didn't ask me but I use this stuff quite a bit. Its not awesome but for what it is its pretty damn good. You can get it on Amazon. Also FWIW I cook all my chicken on my Traeger with some Dano's seasoning.

Typically I marinate in italian dressing for 24 hours, butterfly it, and grill it hot and fast (high heat, 4 minutes per side). Sometimes I'll do unmarinated and leave room in my diet plan for some BBQ sauce. If I'm really going hardcore, I'll do plain and dip it in yellow mustard.


Sometimes I'll use Walden Farms calorie free BBQ sauce. It tastes OK considering it's calorie free, but it's expensive as hell. I really like the Walden Farms calorie free syrups - they go very well on egg white french toast.

Rebuilding the muscle breakdowns from a lifting sessions consumes more calories over more time than recovery from a jog.

The more muscle the more calories burnt while sitting still.

Can just go cheep and get a cooler, fill it with ice and have a fan blow across it.

Even better is to just suck it up and suffer. Will be miserable while doing it but will condition your body more.

Cooking in coconut aminos is good. Very similar to soy but fewer calories and much less sodium.

I also like to just throw a 10 breasts or so in the crockpot and cover with salsa or broth with cumin and garlic. Makes terrific tacos/burritos.
