My shorts smelling like sweaty cheddar after that work out.

at my dude @Soundwave walking like -

Now that he got some muscles

That's how I've been feeling lately since I started lifting heavy




Been reading some old bodybuilding books (late 1800s, early 1900s) and it's interesting to see how some thoughts and techniques have changed or stayed the same.
Guys like George Hackenschmidt was like the Brock Lesnar of the day in terms of physique and athleticism (first World wrestling champion we it was still real)

Aside from results, sweating and soreness make workouts worth the effort.

Anyone else run in the morning to start their day? I'm trying to make it a habit.

I only workout in the morning. I try to get up between 4 and 4:30 but normally closer to or at 4:30am.

Fasted cardio is a great way to start the day.

Are you doing keto?

 

[awkwardblackgirl]

Are you doing keto?

Ehhh.... I mean, I'm still trying to get back on track with my macros since I just got back from vacation.. I gave up on the steak and eggs thing because I know I wouldn't be able to stomach it But I'm trying to keep my macros at 65% fat, 30% protein, and 5% carbs which sounds pretty keto to me :D. I'm not really interested in ketostix and all that, just gonna pay attention to my body and tweak stuff if I feel like I'm stalling.

leg doms are possibly the worst thing in regards to working out, I almost wanna quit working them due to te 2-3 days after that the doms last for, not to mention the awkward walk they give me........

then i take my pants off and look at them thangs with my boxers on and..........its all worth it

Traps aren't sore from the heavy deadstop swings yesterday, kinda disappointing
