Cutting out the processed sugars and fast food helped a ton. And thanks.

I told the wife to watch out because I may get down to my wedding weight from 18 years ago, lol.

That's Very Well done.

Just carb up! If you feel like you need a boost, eat some candy. Fast digesting carbs. I eat gummy worms when I'm desperate in the gym for a glycogen replenishment. Depending on how long you spend in the gym, and how heavy you're lifting, maybe you're burning through it, and energy is lost.

Thanks Buffy, I'll bring some sour patch kids for next weeks session. It just depends on my days off I usually lift for 2.5 hours. I just got it in my head like "I can't do it" so I didn't ha! For the deadlift portion of back day I did 15reps @135 12reps @225 8reps @275 6reps @315 and 5reps @365 I was pretty tired

I will get 405 next week! I can feel it

Pub-Med study from May 2017:

Abstract

Weight loss is the cornerstone of therapy for people with obesity because it can ameliorate or completely resolve the metabolic risk factors for diabetes, coronary artery disease, and obesity-associated cancers. The potential health benefits of diet-induced weight loss are thought to be compromised by the weight-loss-associated loss of lean body mass, which could increase the risk of sarcopenia (low muscle mass and impaired muscle function). The objective of this review is to provide an overview of what is known about weight-loss-induced muscle loss and its implications for overall physical function (e.g., ability to lift items, walk, and climb stairs). The currently available data in the literature show the following: 1) compared with persons with normal weight, those with obesity have more muscle mass but poor muscle quality; 2) diet-induced weight loss reduces muscle mass without adversely affecting muscle strength; 3) weight loss improves global physical function, most likely because of reduced fat mass; 4) high protein intake helps preserve lean body and muscle mass during weight loss but does not improve muscle strength and could have adverse effects on metabolic function; 5) both endurance- and resistance-type exercise help preserve muscle mass during weight loss, and resistance-type exercise also improves muscle strength. We therefore conclude that weight-loss therapy, including a hypocaloric diet with adequate (but not excessive) protein intake and increased physical activity (particularly resistance-type exercise), should be promoted to maintain muscle mass and improve muscle strength and physical function in persons with obesity.


I'm big on science and peer reviewed stuff, only. Bro science will not fly with me.

 

[Thainitty]

I didn't know there was any other kind of science besides bro science...all kidding aside yeah diet is one of the biggest factors in physique

Anyone looking for a great stationary bike, I highly recommend this one.

Great price, and it's definitely well made. I got mine last week and love it. It's very sturdy and most of it is put together right out of the box. You just need to assemble the petals and the handles. I put it together in like forty minutes.

 

[Thainitty]

Glad to hear you're enjoying the bike snake!

 

[Snake Plissken]

I weighed myself just now and I'm down 5lbs. I imagine it's from using the bike three times this week. I'm going on a vacation in August and I want to be as lean as can be.

 

[Thainitty]

That's awesome snake! I don't know if you meal prep or buy meal preps but staying on those can shred you...anywhere from 4-12 weeks on can transform you

 

[Snake Plissken]

My wife does it. She's trying to trim down too. With the bike (using a heart rate monitor) she burns about 8,000 calories per week.

 

[Thainitty]

Excellent! You guys should get the results you want no prob! You hitting the weights too?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah four days a week. I've gotten lazy over the last few months, due to this persistent knee problem but with the bike it doesn't aggravate it.

I'm watching some of my clients really drop body fat since I put them on a plan. It's great to see. Great job Snake. Keep it up.

Going to eat soon and get my booty on my gym. Took yesterday off so I'm back at it full force today.
