I'm planning to get a dexa scan once finish my next cut but at this rate, I'll be bulking for ever lol.
Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

I think Dexa is what I wanna do but I heard it’s pricey.
I’m fine with in-body at $30 a scan. I just need it to be reasonably accurate. I don’t think it’d tell me 30% BF if I was closer to 20%

Yeah they typically cost between $200-$300. I just want to do it just to see what's it like and how lean I can get when I do a serious cut.
Did it once years ago. Probably wasted good money on other things instead of periodically doing it.
Bro, I’m so glad you mentioned this. Did a quick google search and found a place close to my office that does 4 DEXA scans for $350. About $116 a scan…
Definite cop once I get back from holiday.
Right now I’m doing:
Daily weigh ins
Weekly weight averaging
Bi-weekly photo pics and tape measurements
Can now add quarterly DEXA scans

back into weight lifting by force 
my body can't handle playing basketball and soccer to stay in shape. I use to play basketball and soccer for hours. I am getting hurt like crazy now. Sprain ankles, torn quad, now that I have recovered, I play soccer here and there but I can't keep up with the early 20's anymore 
I have also changed my diet completely, my cholesterol was too high, I rarely eat meat now. I got scared as fukk waiting for scan to see if I was at risk of heart disease. Once I got the result, I saw a zero.

It's funny because I always had older friends, when I was mid 20's one of the guys I use to play regularly started riding his bike more often, now that I am in my mid 30's I understand .
.Ain’t nothing wrong with moving iron. You need it for longevity.

Woke up an hour late and even if I get to the gym, I’ll have to shorten it.Hate that I’m gonna have to get in an after work gym session but I need these next three days before my holiday to be very intense. Rather take the time needed.

1/3 before the holiday.
Threw in an extra set for each exercise just for good measure
Who am I kidding, I’ll still probably workout during my holiday
Definitely gonna be doing a lot of cardio. Gotta keep going if you gets me

Back home after traveling Europe for 2 weeks (Barcelona, Madrid, Florence/Tuscany, Paris, Istanbul). Only Paris hotel had a gym so feeling weak/sluggish. Going to spend the next week or two detoxing and getting back on a routine.
Just finished leg day at 7:40am PST. That’s 2/3 this week before my holiday tomorrow and 17/18 days in the gym M-F this month (not counting tomorrow). Consistency been bananas, it feels so ingrained now.
I’m really liking goblet squats more and more. Good exercise to load up on the reps.
About 1-1.5lbs from my Q1 target. Wanted to hit it before my holiday but should get to it next week granted I keep the diet and liq in check when I touch down.
Main thing for my holiday is getting the steps in and just maintaining.
I’m traveling tomorrow for about two weeks and I told myself I’d take a break from the gym but I honestly don’t want to come back feeling sluggish and weak. I’ve made so much progress so I’ll still go for 3x a week and get in a lot of daily walking/good cardio.
The AirBnBs and hotels I have all have respectable gyms. Don’t need a full blow gym but as far as I have some dumbbells and machines, I can make something work. Lowkey if I don’t work out this trip my ass mot gonna last long
Just need 1hr a day really and it should be easier since I don’t have work

I was traveling last week and just used it rest week. Didn't want to stress trying to find a gym that had everything I wanted and my body was a little beat up. Worked out for the best since I'm feeling stronger than ever this week.Just finished leg day at 7:40am PST. That’s 2/3 this week before my holiday tomorrow and 17/18 days in the gym M-F this month (not counting tomorrow). Consistency been bananas, it feels so ingrained now.

Getting steps in on vacation is easy. Minimum 20k a day. It's the lack of resistance training i hate. It was difficult finding hotels w/ gyms in Spain/Italy, not much of a lifting culture there. Istanbul there is but I stayed in the ancient part of the city where the hotels are less modern.Just finished leg day at 7:40am PST.

Nutrition stayed on point most of the trip until Turkey where every corner sells baklava and candies. Baklava got to be top 5 most unhealthy thing to eat on Earth. Just one is like 300 calories.
