For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

@ Yab
.... 6'6 ... Man I wish I had the frame when I was playing sports. I'm 5'10 :/


I think I'm the only person (other then maybe Meat) that is actively trying to gain weight. I've gotten up to 190-192 but I'm trying to get to 205 before I start cutting.

[BerenTebogo]

I had the best chinese food in the world the other night, auuugh. Felt so guilty about it.

Sucks keeping weight off.

[Diamicles]

Holy shit how tall are you to weight that much? I look like i'm throwing up after every meal if i get under 200, then again i'm 6'6.

haha yeah I'm only 5'7", so 150 really isn't that bad.

HOW DO I TALLER TRAPS?

power cleans

I'd love to try and get to 145, but we'll see how hard these last couple of lbs are going to be, an additional 5 might be a little too low for my bf%. What really sucks right now is that I re-aggravated a strain in my soleus (deep in my calf) and can't do as much cardio as I'd like to.

Meh, cardio is bullshit for weight loss if you ask me

Sure, you burn calories, but you could just eat less too. That's why I love weightlifting - added muscle = more metabolic tissue to burn calories all day long.

Brought a tub of peppers/onions/steak stirfry to work today, I'll be snacking on for the duration of my shift.

I like the "must fuck everything" feeling cardio gives.

I feel that way after a good weightlifting session. Cardio just makes me want to go to sleep, but I'm all sweaty and gross so I can't.

After cardio i don't feel like doing shit but shower and take a nap.

I'd really have to cut back, I think my body is starting to tell me I'm getting at a still comfortable low bf%, if that makes sense. I should be around 9% (going to get caliper tested again next week) and losing the fat is becoming increasingly more difficult. My weight is steadily dropping still (about 0.5lbs/week) but I know extra cardio on my off days (I do full body lifting 3x/week, higher reps lower weight - I'm not trying to bulk just lean out) probably couldn't hurt.

I don't really want to go on a cutting diet either.

When you hit single digit Bodyfat % it gets really hard, but it sounds like your doing the right shit to lower it more unless your diet sucks. Of course that would count on your size now, going lean is good if you don't have girl arms ;p

I definitely don't have girl arms lol

My diet is fairly tight, but I probably could squeeze out a little bit more weight loss if I actually count calories and strictly monitor what I'm eating.

What do you look like at 9%? Post a pic fool. I'm sure I've never been that low, I doubt I've ever been below 12%, hopefully by the end of this year I will be.

I'm not for sure that I'm at 9%, but I was at 11% last time I was measured, and lost a few lbs since then.

edit: fuck, if T.O. is like 7% there's no way I'm 9% rofl

Here's 2 pics from today. Remember I'm not bulking! I'm really not huge anymore but I was 196 about 18 months ago. Pic quality isn't great, phone cam sucks.

Basically the only fat I'm carrying is on my abdominals. Still some loose skin from being so fat.

so I had a low blood sugar so just ran down to the vending machine and grabbed this Big Texas Cinnamon Roll. Ate it without looking at the label...later when I did, hoooooly shit it was so much worse than I would have ever imagined:



What did I just put into my body. Onthe left, all those words are the INGREDIENTS. Over 40 "ingredients"

Also man, I almost ripped my shoulder apart last night doing seated barbell shoulder press. Its this special chair and rack that I was using for the first time and as I was done with my second set I was bringing the bar backwards over my head to set it down but I had it raised too high and it started to fall backwards. Idk how I saved it, almost had to bail which would have made an amazing mess. Shit felt like it was ripping my shoulder pulling it back so far, good thing I had the right side stable and it was only the left that was falling backwards.

[Diamicles]

nothing good ever comes out of the vending machines at my work...except the peanuts and nature valley granola. I dont mess with anything else, unless I feel like my blood sugar is getting low (I get the shakes when that happens), then I just grab a snickers >.>

[Zoolander]

I'm always curious what low blood sugar feels like to non-diabetics, I dont recall ever having the feeling before I was diagnosed. Is it just feeling tired? Or do you start shaking, sweating, short temper, tingling all over body, and insatiable desire to not be low too?

edit lol, didn't totally read your post. interesting.

[Diamicles]

I just get shaky and feel weak, but I don't feel hungry, which is really how I can tell something is wrong lol I eat too much to not be hungry often.

[Yabby]

Dude... it has 2g of fiber. It's all good.


I've finally got into eating only non processed food. I like eating shit i can pronounce.

[Atreides]

oh yeah, I had a craving for real butter so I picked up this Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter With Olive Oil. It's got only 4g of saturated fat per serving, and only 3 ingredients, and tastes just like the real thing. I have missed butter so, so much.
