@dora_da_destroyer wifey has been loving prenatal yoga. She likes it way more than lifting. I will probably start going with her to regular yoga but I told her she has to get back to lifting to get her ass back :demonic:

One of my homegirls from HS days has a yoga studio in the hood. Great to see but she's a lil too crunchy and at peace for me :lolbron: As I get older I do want to broaden my fitness... my flexibility is :trash:... still chasing that 4/5 plate squat/dead and that 6 pack though :francis:

started off the year trying to lose weight, but now i'm more into the fitness aspect so i want a well rounded program, flexibility and restoration is a big part of that so i think yoga should be a good addition. plus more flexibility in bed aint a bad thing :lolbron:

I'm back in :wow:

Past 2 weeks been stressful. The young boy was chasing the wrong things.

My pastor hit me with that wake up call.

We can't be out here with haphazard standards in any area of our lives. Our mission is non-negotiable.

:wow:

Didn't wanna workout yesterday, was rainy and just felt just :old:.

Just forced my way through it since turkey time is coming:drunk:
Squats went well again, finally think I'm getting good form for standing shoulder press:mjcry: Still taking it slow with deads:mjcry: Might just start doing those on a separate day.

When you're at/approaching your desired weight but don't like the look :francis:

Bout to start eating nothing but bamboo sticks and lamb
I have found that whatever weight you think you need to lose to get right.... add another 50%

Next year God willing I'm dipping into the 160s. 170s were a nice peek at what's under but next go round I want to get scary :demonic:

Body weight is just one piece. It's easy to get up to a body weight, but it doesn't mean much if you're not strong at that body weight. When I got down to 172 last year I was still hitting PRs on everythang. Right now I'm 185 and I'm at my strongest. So I would focus on strength and work in the gym while trying not to get fat. The size will come and you will probably be a lot lighter than you thought you'd be at a certain size/look
