Can’t move with me in this digital space
Am I wrong for thinking a lot of crossfit type exercises are useless? Today I saw people carrying a 45 plate one hand over their head, they'd walk to the wall, touch it, then come back. I don't get the point of that. Why not just do some direct arm or shoulder work. What if it slips and lands on your fukking head? What does that help? How much time do people have that they can waste their time doing that? Is it a waste of time?

I ain't had a chest pump this good in so long. 
My nikka what?
Does it taste good?
Should I buy one? 
So you can just buy egg whites on its own?

Going back to using ON whey. Should have never bought this trash epic isolate protein. shyt was only 20 servings and like $70 my ass just wanted to try it. Doesnt mix at all and too thick when drinking
Leg days for the past couple weeks have been horrible. I feel lightheaded when I have 2 more workouts left. Today I skipped 2 sets of my last lift of leg curls because I just felt too dizzy during my 1 min rest. I think I've been just pushing too hard during leg day but legs are my weakpoint
For the past week Ive been doing my lifts in the AM before work with cardio then after work do some more cardio
Imgotta stop getting on the scale so much too. Im down about 10lbs and it seems like my body just doesnt wanna get below 206lbs. Ive been cutting at 160-200g of protein, 50-80g of fat and 150-160g of carbs. But, Ive been seeing my body get leaner. Starting to see my forearm veins even more and veins in my thighs. My girl said my thighs look firm and fit
.
Waist did get smaller. Used to wear size 38 jeans last summer and now 36 size feel loose. And my size 40 belt is loose also
I think if I keep doing what Im doing by the end of the year I'll be greek body ready

How bad? Age shouldn't be a a factor IMO.Noticed my doms are now getting longer and longer. I suppose at 29 it Shouldn't be a surprise but not really helping my anxiety about reaching 30
Used to take me at least two days to leave but now its taking at least 5 days.
Did some pullups on monday and my lats still have doms
That's not age dude.

To me hitting everything twice a week has helped really limit doms where I don't feel it anymore. Although I do get it slightly for my hams & glutes.
I've started doing a one day fast once a week. One the day that I fast, I will do a cardio workout, no weight lifting.
I ran 2 miles yesterday on the treadmill.
On the day after, today, my weight goes down. I have to watch what I eat or my weight will go back up. So to prevent yo-yo'ing, I watch what I eat every day. I usually eat too much dinner.
I am okay with eating the appropriate amount for breakfast and lunch. I'm going to the beach this weekend. I still have a bit of a paunch.

Brehs if you have an iron gym or any kind of pullup bar at home, do yourself a favor and cop some gymnastics rings to hang from it 
So much versatility. My latest use for mine is helping me progress to L-sit pullups. Using the rings lets me start in a sitting position on the floor and pull myself up

I def co-sign the high pulls. They work fast and unlike other movements that lead to trap growth, high pulls won't cause any imbalances or neck pain.
