I don't need harder erections. Ginkgo biloba is like free viagra.

Trainer (regarding jumping rope: Have you ever done double unders?
Me: When I was in 6th grade. Trainer: It's something to work up to. Bear crawlers. Funny looking, but fun! |

But I also think you're right. It could just be my body adjusting to a new stance. I am gonna go with wide stance and feet angled out for my entire next cycle of 5/3/1. If this pain continues, I'll re-evaluate. Nothing else in my training, recovery or stretching has changed so I can only think it's the change in foot position and lower hip position to initiate my deadlift that has caused some discomfort. But it is too early to tell if it's going to continue or if my body will get used to it as it's not a super severe pain. |

Checking in on my weight. Weighed in at 310 and 6 ounces, a drop of 3 pounds and 13 oz. from last week.
I'm that I'll be in the 200's in September, which would be awesome! Down a total of 107 pounds now from my high of 417. |
Grats!
I guess I'll check in with my weight, too. Started at 202 8 weeks ago. 175.7 tonight. Hopefully down to 175 by Friday. |

Just curious as to what you're doing. I think i saw you doing some UD diet or something and also ECA right? Any HIT? |
Pretty much ALL HIT.
I started off following UD 2.0 diet and lifting protocols, but I'm doing far more cardio than is recommended, mostly because with experimentation, I've found out that I *can*. Not a lot of people can do it without a lot of muscle loss, but I'm able to somehow. I can't explain it. Some of the theories I've come up with involve metabolic adaptation and efficiency. Basically, because I eat mostly meat and fat anyway, when I cut, my body is already used to using mostly protein and fat for energy and over the years, has become quite efficient at doing so. So, when I cut, I can do a lot more on much fewer calories than other people may be able to do. What I'm doing isn't *exactly* UD 2.0, so if I tell you I'm doing it, I'd be lying. It's more of a mix between Rapid Fat Loss and UD 2.0. A typical workout schedule for me is: Sunday - Heavy workout (UD 2.0) 1.5-2 hrs, 1 indoor soccer game after Monday - Pick-up soccer, 1.5 hours MISS on a spin bike Tuesday - Depletion workout (UD 2.0), 2 indoor soccer games (on two teams on Tuesday for some reason) Wednesday - Stubborn Fat Loss protocol (again, by Lyle McDonald) on spin bike, yoga Thursday - Tension workout (UD 2.0 style), indoor soccer game Friday - Stubborn Fat Loss protocol, maybe sub for an outdoor soccer game if I'm needed Saturday - Tension workout (UD 2.0), carb load Supplements: EC stack 3x day 1000 mg Green Tea extract 3x day 1g HMB before every meal, up to 3x day (HMB doesn't work very well when you're bulking, but works amazingly well when you're cutting... pretty much the only time it's worth the money) 15mg melatonin & 100mg 5-HTP at night Calcium & magnesium supplement at night Double dose of multivitamin every day 5 fiber gummies 3x day |
Well, daughter #2 arrived the other day so training for now will be whenever the **** I can get in. Couple more weeks I'll have the basement ready for a Rogue rack, glute ham, reverse hyper and some Ironmaster adjustable DB's (120lb kit). Been reading a lot about RPE (rate of perceived exhaustion) and have been basing training around that rather than a set %. Some days ya go it, some days ya don't.
We named our new daughter Maddison and she came in 20in, 7lbs 14oz. Other daughter was 15lbs on the dot, pretty big girls. :) |
