    Does a calorie burned just equal a calorie burned? What I mean is, if I can burn 400 calories in 40 minutes, is that better than taking it easier and doing 2 sessions of 25 minutes burning 200 calories each? Also, all this is assuming that the little calorie readout on machines is even remotely accurate.

    A calorie is a calorie, so in your two scenarios the result is the same. It might technically be better cardio/conditioning to do it 40 mins straight but I don't have any support for that. I wouldn't necessarily trust those "calories burned" readouts on machines but 400 in 40 minutes sounds fair depending on the activity.

    More progress on my side, I lost another 10 lbs in the last 3 months. Considering Anime North is in 50 days from now I'm hoping to lose another 10 lbs until then but I doubt it's even feasible unless I increase cardio by a lot.

    P.S. I'm getting really tired of eating this thing like 20 times a month.

    Hit the big 5-0 today! Took a bit less than 4 months. Had a rough spot in the last week between 45-48 lbs, but seeing the progress I am motivated again.

    Can easily google healthy recipes. And do some lifting man, some people I've met looked better after putting on 10 lbs of muscle when they originally wanted to lost 10 lbs of fat. Mix it up!

    Any of you bros use the Jawbone UP app?

    I just ordered one and my team is looking pretty barren. Kinda lonely, looking to add a crew so it isn't so sad looking.

    So did a modified murph this morning... 1mile run, 50 pull ups, 150 push-ups, 50 toe's to bar, 150 squats, 1 mile run
    I got 3 blisters 2 of which ripped completely off... yay...
    Get to the gym that afternoon and it's >90% of your 1rm Deadlifts... get to 415 and still got gas in the tank, but i can't grip the bar right, they won't let us use chalk and i didn't have straps, so on the 2nd rep of 415 as i'm coming down my callus decides it doesn't want to hang out anymore and straight rips off.
    I did two more reps of 415 and was like.... fuck...

    Gross. Not sure I'd want to go to a gym that wouldn't allow chalk.

    Fuck gyms that don't allow chalk. 95% of the time is because the employees don't want to deal with the hassle of cleaning up the chalk debris. I'd rather take a vacuum out once a day than deal with disinfecting equipment because someone tore a callus and bled everywhere.

    I haven't heard him mentioned in any of Scooby's videos, but he has brought it up multiple times if you've ever seen his live stream Q&A sessions

    April was not as good for me as I hit a wall @ -55lbs. Mostly because I got tired of the same meal regimen for 4 months, but I maintained fortunately and am back on the wagon.

    Good news is I started with a BP reading of 134/98 with a resting heart rate of 100. Down to 111/71 with a HR of 68.

    I am extremely grateful for my innately low blood pressure; I would die without copious amounts of salt. Normal BP for me is 90-100/55-65.

    Finished the ninth week of my current training regimen, which has muscle exercises outlined for four days a week. Supplemented it with two additional days, doing one short run (6 km) and one long run (something between 19 and 20 km). Worked my way up and got back to ~20 km two weeks ago, finishing it in 1 hour and 45 minutes then somehow finished it in the same time the next week for some reason; maybe tired, no idea.

    Felt much better today and managed to noticeably improve my pace, but was getting really tired towards the end. Figured I'd have improved my time by two or three minutes, then felt like a boss when I saw I had finished the same course in 1 hour and 36 minutes.

    I think I'm either back to where I was before I injured my knees or getting really close to it; I'm becoming increasingly optimistic about finally running a marathon in the near future. I never cared much about my build as long as I wasn't overweight and, honestly speaking, I still don't care all that much about muscle/fat-ratios, but I love being able to actually feel muscular partitions when I touch my leg.

    I'm definitely going to do my best to avoid becoming lazy again; as far as I can tell, the muscle exercises have tremendously contributed to easing the burden on my knees.

    Maxed my lifts as the end of the semester comes to a close. Dirty bulked this semester, essentially adding 1000 calories of garbage (chips, snickers bars, cookies) on top of my regular diet of grilled chicken/etc. Gained 13lbs, up to 142 (I'm a skinny shit with a metabolism that makes it hard to gain weight)
    Deadlift: 315
    Squat: 300
    Bench: 180

    Really happy with how far squat and bench came since the beginning of the semester. Didn't really push myself on the deadlift (which was on monday) because I had a golf outing the following day and I didn't want to fuck my back.

    This is the number one thing I try to tell all runners. Resistance/weight training is amazing for everyone, especially runners. Having stronger muscles, tendons, and ligaments around your joints means less joint pain. No amount of running will ever make your muscles stronger compared to resistance training.

    What were your numbers when you first started?

    It's good you're keeping up the cross training, it is beneficial as mentioned. I need to restart that myself having just started my marathon training again, luckily my work place has a gym. I'd say with the pace you ran 20km in you're easily looking at a sub-4hour mara (if you decide to do one).
