Check out this expert nutritional eating I've done today.

Breakfast: three slices of center cut bacon, cook in oven and take off as much grease. Two slices of whole wheat bread with butter and a cup of coffee. That was around 2.

After that: a be kind protein bar, a reeses pieces cup, a kit Kat big Kat bar and two slices of papa johns cookie pizza. So I've accumulated about a thousand grams of sugar. :francis:

I now weigh 163 lbs. Highest I've ever been in my life. I used to box from 126 to 135lb and was super skinny and minimal body fat. I'm 5'9 and have really long limbs and a short torso.

I started lifting at home with literally the bar and have been adding weight every session. Because I've never lifted weights before I wasn't sure how much I could lift so just started with nothing and worked my way up.

Just have a barbell and plates so Ive been doing squats, deadlifts, pushups (no bench at home), bent over rows, military press.

I look healthier now than when I was extremely fit and fighting. Ive ran out of plates and am going to have to join a weightlifting gym.

Update. I'm 167lbs now. Im still working out at home with the limited weights but also adding some bodyweight.

I'm worried that when I join the gym and am able to lift alot heavier my weight is going to shoot up. :damn:

This is madness :damn:

I couldnt spend more than 15 mins in a gym...now i get atleast a hour

the motivation for me was looking at my stomach and how :flabbynsick: i've gotten

what worked for me was starting off with dumbells to failure and then going to the pull up bar

after that i go to the leg press and go right back to dumbells..that can easily get you 25-30 minutes

then end with cardio on the treadmill for 30 minutes..

once you find your groove, its off to the races

now as i begin to experiment with more things, my time will naturally increase

make sure you got your headphones and music

Also faster tempoed music makes the time feel like its going faster

About to try some quinoa with my chicken.....:leostare:
You late cuz

I'm gonna try and record a quinoa recipe video this weekend. Also prob gonna load up my cut "transformation" video this weekend. You gotta add flavor though, shyt is boring as fukk. I like to throw in some kale, mushrooms and garlic. You gotta cook it in chicken broth as well, shyt has zero salt

I need to really focus on cutting carbs. That's my latest goal. No more bread at breakfast and no more unnecessary bread. Reading the label on the package, one slice had like 9 grams of carbs or maybe it was 9% but still too much. I think a cut in carbs will help me get over this small plateau. Bread retains water so cutting will help with that too.

Went on vacation for a week then came back and said fukk it. Did first workout in about two weeks, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be:dame:

Although I love squats, my knees felt great taking some rest. I guess I'm just going to have to face the fact that my joints are :flabbynsick: at 30.:to: Although going back to the stronglifts routine shot my numbers up, squatting 3x a week just might be too much:to:



The hard part is getting my diet back on point, although I wished there was a decent place that had a breakfast buffet like my hotel:noah:

Went back to the gym today after two weeks off ready to put in work and these mutherfukkers are doing some kind of refurbishment so the entire weight room is off limits. Only cardio machines are available :gucci:

Ask them how long it'll take and the say about two weeks :francis:

So now I'm I pretty much have to do some callisthenics and cardio while I wait. I was so heated when I left
So I finally went back after a month off and they've finally completed the refurbishment. The gym looks clean as fukk with brand new equipments, fancy cardio machines and the like. Had me walking around like :leon:
