Hence the losing of fatassness lol

I'm gonna jump in here too. After moving last April transitioning into a new job, new city, new life, etc. really took the wind out of my sails in terms of working out and eating healthy.

I went from just under 220 lbs with a 385x3 deadlift, 345 lb squat, 205 jerk...




To just over 230 lbs with 10 months of musclemass loss... and I just feel fat.


Being data driven, of course I have charts and data. In two weeks I'm down 6.2 lbs so -3.1 lbs/wk. Likely not sustsainable for the duration to my 200lb goal, but that's where I'm at now.

Same shit happened to me with the move. Part of the reason I wanted to be in the Austin area was to do more outdoor physical activities...and I got off to a terrible start. I only gained about 5lbs but my running and weightlifting suffered.

Running these hills now Is kicking my ass. But at least I'm back on the wagon

1:58:42 in the Rock n Roll half for me, 9:04 average

[Chopped54]

Nice job Al, I know you wanted to be under 2:00 at the Dallas.


Did the Rock N Roll 5k yesterday


And the half today


Was hoping for a sub 1:45, but injuries have prevented training. Only ran 24 miles in the last month and that was only three runs. Have two more halfs next month so hope to break 1:45 if I can stay healthy.....

I hope that the shoes you're wearing in those pics aren't the shoes that you're lifting heavy with.

[Cooter]

well, I'm below 260 as of a few days ago

that's over 70lbs from my peak and over 55lbs from last summer

it's funny that when I was at 260 and climbing EIGHT YEARS AGO, I didn't really feel all that great...

but at 260 and falling, I feel like my body is made of helium

carry on

Nice, how much do you weigh? I am lugging around 210 lbs. One of my buddies is trying to get me to do the full marathon in December. If I can drop some weight I think I may try.

When did he mention lifting heavy?

haha get it???!!!

And what's wrong with those shoes? Toes aren't separated into little individual pouches?

[Strychnine]

I hope that the shoes you're wearing in those pics aren't the shoes that you're lifting heavy with.

Probably just some KB swings, T2B, burpees, etc. I actually like lifting barefoot.
