Man I was close to squatting 10 reps of 270 today. I just didn't have it on the last rep so I only did 9 reps. But I should def get it next week.

I've lost 30 pounds since March by changing my diet and eating healthier, and by lifting weights. Not much cardio at all. I stand at 250 lbs now, damn I look in the mirror and it's like nothing has changed. Man boobs, love handles, round belly looks the same from when I started....

It killed my happy mood today.

Keep at it, and dont worry too much about the scales, more about what you look like and how clothes fit.

Plus you see yourself everyday, pretty sure people you dont see all the time notice the difference.

30 pounds is 30 pounds, its better than NOT losing it. Think where you are now compared to where you were before.

Your chick game will go up when they see those gains

Not to sound like an Infomercial, but I used to hate squatting the bar would just kill my neck so was using machines most of this. That was until I purchased this:

Its amazing, no need to worry about pain on my neck/traps/back and just worry about squatting and hitting my legs. Find it much better than the foam ones or even using a towel.

Invest if you were like me and hated the pain on the back of your neck etc.

brehs, since today is the first day of ramadan, and I'm fasting from sunup to sunset (no eating, drinking, smoking, sex, bleeding, injecting, etc..) i was going to do intermittent fasting, but I was thinking people who do that drink water all day, which I cant do. It wouldnt be dangerous or anything if I plan to workout about 1 hour before i break my fast without drinking any water all day? I'm kind of worried I might catch a cramp or something.

How much can you drink prior to sunup?

My thought would be that you should be fine for the most part if you are getting plenty of fluids in before the fast and the night before. That said I wouldn't do anything in that workout that's going to cause a lot of sweating or really jack your heart rate up.

I wonder if they come in pink or yellow...I'll applaud you for squatting though. :mjpls:
