Get back in the ring Dan!

Nice work Nick! I'm still struggling with the grip and wrist flexibility on front squats. Dropped my DLs down to 315# and felt pretty good.

It can take some time to develop the mobility. Keep working on those things I mentioned in the thread, and if you can consistently incorporate it into your daily routine it should start to show a bit. Shit aint easy tho so I dig its a pain in the ass. You can try a modification on the front squats that some squaters do to avoid the front rack.

It looks like this

Yeah I've been working that in as well. Bruises on the shoulders and all.

First true mountain bike ride of the year today and my legs felt super strong. Bit behind on the cardio but the gams are beefy.

Bruises? Ain't nothing compared to this dude's pectoral muscles that were torn during a competition. Just saw it today. It's totally fucked up.

Did you ever buy lifters for squatting?

As in shoes? Not yet. Been using some pretty low profile Nike running shoes and going barefoot for DLs.

I think with the level of squatting you are doing I would invest in a pair of lifters.

In other news I am not starting the cut, goddamn diet changes

I know you, vid and everyone else here have this shit covered, but for conversation sakes, the personal 'diet' I'm on has been both affordable, effective, tasty, good for you, and most importantly indefinitely manageable. The basic concept is: Instead of having three-four main meals in a day and a snack or two in between, you eat smaller amounts of one meal every two-three hours. It's not a new concept by any means, but it's worked well for me and for my buddy who's been working with me at the boxing club.

To run it down, in the morning I eat something like a bowl of porridge with half a t-spoon full of Manuka Honey, a chopped banana and a sprinkle of sugar for additional texture and sweetness. Straight after eating that, or while I'm eating it, I'll boil enough brown rice, white rice, pasta, or new potatoes to last the entire day, or maybe even two days. As that's cooking, I'll defrost a chicken breast, turkey breast, pork chop, or something else and marinade it for fifteen minutes in my favourite sauces and spices. I'll then fry or grill the meat, chop it up and add it to the rice. I'll then stir-fry my favourite vegetables and add that to the lot. I'll mix it all up and let it cool. Once it's cooled I'll store it in the fridge. Two hours after eating my breakfast, I'll eat eight-ten spoonfuls of my dinner. Two hours later I'll do the same. Two hours later I'll do the same. The idea is to cut out gorging or 'main' meals entirely. For me, gorging was bad because I would still snack afterwards. This way, my stack IS my dinner. It's healthier, heartier, and I've lost a bunch of weight without busting my balls at the gym every day. Not to say that busting your balls isn't fun, because we all know it can be once you get into it. It's just you don't have to do it in order for the weight to slowly fall off. And it only slowly falls off. Unless you're on deaths door with obesity, I don't think it's healthy to lose weight too rapidly. You may end up eating away at your muscles and ruining your work, or affecting your metabolism and your ability to fight off infections.

But you know all that shit anyway, so for 'cutting', this diet might be ineffective, or just a bad idea. This is just for conversations sake rather than a 'do-this-because-it'll-make-you-lose-your-fat' diet. I'm finding it an enjoyable experience. I appreciate food in a different way now.

My recent favorite is the everything burrito. If it's in the fridge, it's fair game. Three eggs, sautéed red onion and mushrooms, two week old taco meat and some cheese. Smothered in sour cream and Shrirachi. Washed down with five double IPAs.

Trainer session was tough today. 100 body squats, 100 jump squats, 50 box jump burpees plus some other shit.

Why I no has six pack? :picard:

Two week European vacation is going to seriously derail me.

For the current cut im just subbing 1% milk in for whole, decreasing how much I drink per day subbing in water where there is less milk and cutting back on some carbs and sugary shit.

Those little changes will have a big impact. I "cut" for just two weeks watching my diet and adding in a bit if cardio and dropped 5 pounds quick. My challenge is sticking with a "strict" diet after eating like a horse for months. Cuz food is fun.

I bet Mrs Dunwich will notice results in a couple of weeks.

My gym finally decided to allow people to lift barefoot (read: in socks) when doing squats and DLs. Since I don't have lifting shoes this made both much easier.

She actually likes me at a higher weight then when I was like ~180 lb in November/December. Today was not too bad adjusting to less food. My body sure as hell is hungry and wants to maintain the weight but it was not a bad eating day

Protein shake with 1% milk + Energy Drink + Protein Bar (morning-ish food)

Half chicken + 1 scoop of potatoes + 250 mL of whole milk + water (lunch)

3/4 lb steak, 2 cups brown rice + protein shake with 1% milk (dinner)

Caffeine and spicy foods each act as natural appetite suppressants and the former can help if you eat too much, if you know what I mean

I end up eating a bit more for dinner. So far eating the same at yesterday. Will take a good week to get used to it but so far so good.
