My soul aches for this

Blah. I'm pissed at myself. I'm on week 3 of 5/3/1. I do incline press instead of bench press (just to change it up a bit). Well I was positive that I was going to get 3 on my "1 set" and instead I only got 2. I usually use the same incline station everytime I do this exercise and it's at 45 degrees. I noticed when I was done that it seems like the one I used today was a little flatter 60 degrees I guess?). Shit! That pisses me off. Now I keep thinking that I could have done it if it was in the position I'm used to, but I won't really know now and it's driving my OCD insane.
I've gotten lucky about this once.
My usual: No rice, extra on both beans, extra steak, fajita mix, mild & medium salsa, cheese, cream, lettuce, and guac comes to 13~14 dollars. Way too much moolah.
Chipotle is generally a bad investment for me because I don't eat beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, etc. I never get my money's worth even when not on a strict diet. But looking for something nearby with low carbs, high protein that isn't Another Goddamned Salad, concocting a beef--pepper/onions--salsa bowl at Chipotle helps alleviate boredom.
Rice, of course, thrown in at the bottom and a token amount eaten just to remind myself that carbs are indeed awesome and to stop any cravings.

I shy away from fruit when it's time for a shake. It makes it infinitely tastier, but it depends on how much you're using and how much you are eating. I'm not ruling it out at all, but I keep my focus better without em.

I am I am! But I'm stopping in early may to rebuild the statue. And then it's time for delicious BBQ surplus.
Me, feels bad man.
When not cutting, I love chocolate protein + milk + banana + a bit of chocolate syrup + ice in a blender. Peanut butter for extra calories. Tastes good too.
Day 29. I miss fun.
that looks exactly the same as any other cage I've ever seen. in addition you'll want at least 315 pounds of plates (but not just 3 45s lol) because your squat/deadlift will get up there in time. that's another ~$315. check craigslist.

I forgot that there were weights in the garage...today I went out and unburied it + dusted stuff off and there's a bench press setup + free weights from the 90's. After cleaning everything off, I spent 30 minutes between the bench press + doing cross body arm curls. I'll probably be sore tomorrow but I plan to hit it one more time tonight. 
Me. Just loaded up on seafood at Costco. Two bags of shrimp, salmon, ahi tuna...
Figured if I'm not going out to eat might as well treat myself.
I'm cutting from a winter bulk of 215. Just reached a low of 195 this morning. No particular diet just iifym. Lowered my daily carbs by about 100 I'm maintaining strength pretty well, noticeably more vascular and the fat is falling off. Doing 3 mile runs and will incorporate hi it at my next plateau. My goal is 185, though I'm already beach ready. I dont like being under 200 but I like the look. I've been taking it really slow up until this point as to maintain muscle, since weight loss <10% bf will be a war of attrition and I expect my pushing movements to be the first to go, but not without a fight.
Which Chipotle do you go to?
Nice. I'm down from 205 to 190 now. I feel better just not as strong, my lifts kinda stalled but at least I'm not losing ground.
I'm cutting. Might I recommend the "Chew and Discard" method.
lol, dont give me any ideas. There is birthday cake, cookies and brownies at home I have to resist every day. It's really inhumane.
Onward.
Cutting right along with you. 1700kcal a day "net", though closer to 1600 on non-lifting days with the extra allowed on lifting days. Thankfully an abundance of cardio via being on my feet for my job and such allows me the extra calories to remain sane. Tends to be more of an issue to eat as "clean" as I'd like and still eat enough.

Sounds like an eating disorder in the making to me. I can't stand the idea of just chewing food!
Keep us posted!

I've decided to try to go gluten free on my cut. See what happens. Still have my share of rice, rice noodles, potatoes, corn tortillas, etc. just staying away from wheat/gluten for now.
Started a log on BB.com and we will see how that goes.

Will do! If I'm 198 or higher I'm gonna need my fitness brahs for support.
And yup, cranky that's what I'm doing. Chicken/seafood/green veggies/eggs/whey/quest.
I wish quest bars were available cheaper in bulk. So good.
I just ate one. Peanut Butter Supreme!
I like all of them except lemon.
21.49 here. Cheapest I ever found them.

I'd buy like 100 at a time if I could just get the typical bulk discount most products have. I'm a creature of habit and have no issues buying bulk.
Yeah it sucks. I usually run out and end up buying a box at a local store for 27 with tax but at least I can mix and match them and they carry every flavor.
Wish I could buy 100 for cheap too
Before I knew what Quest bars were, Slickdeals had boxes of the PBJ ones for less than $12 a box.
I would have gotten a year's worth had I known.
Seriously? Damn lol I live right across from the maiden potle
Wow those are my favorite ones too.
Have you had cookie dough? cuz if not....
My friends gym has 30% off GNC coupons so I get mine for 17.50 a box
Teamcookiedough.
Hadn't thought of that.
Need to search out a GNC coupon!
I can do $17.50 a box and not feel too bad~
High five.
These are for a specific GNC around me. I can't use them anywhere else

Yeah, but hopefully I can find some. I've seen GNC coupons at my gym before, but always knew most products I could still get cheaper online.
This is an exception.
No.....Can only get them from the quest site so far and last time they shipped really slow. banana nut muffin is really good though.
Since when does GNC have quest bars? Good variety? I never want to go to GNC but I guess I can. I'm down to 1 bar.
That place around 1230-1pm on a decent day has a line that goes outside and around the corner. Crazy shit.
I prefer the Potbelly on Maiden Lane when bulking tho. Mmm. Wreck sammich.

Just ran a mile in 6:18
Last time I ran a timed mile was way back in seventh grade when I did it in 7:45. I'm not a big runner (over the last couple months I've run once or twice every two weeks, if that), but I felt in good enough shape to test myself. Really happy with the result all things considered.
Also, I'm a little over a week wearing my wrist brace (meaning zero upper body workouts), and I'm already on the verge of just ripping it off for good and saying fuck it. Of course, I won't do that, but my god is it annoying to wear.

It's pretty recent afaik. Mine has pretty much all of them except a couple.
Don't know if this is the right thread for this but in the past month I've gotten into exercising 45-90m daily. Just to get into good shape and stay there. Funny enough, in this time I've broken my elbow (hockey) and had a few other cricks but haven't let that stop me. (Actually played through the minor fracture not realizing it and then went on a 5mi hike the next day.)
Anyway, I really do mostly walking (~4-4.5mph) and sports as my knees aren't the best and I want to be able to do this regularly without interruption. Anyway...most of my tracking is pen & paper (best way to go!) but I do find some fun in the idea of game-ified exercising. I use Runkeeper just to have stats on my walks/jogs, and I've also started using Fitocracy. Fitocracy is cool I guess but it seems really suited to people who do reps and stuff, not normal people just working on cardio. Are there any good/better services that just make regular working out a bit more fun in a dorky way? My phone is Android but I have an iPad as well.

I'm not sure why you think that one is less normal than the other.
Anyways, it's a bit harder to make what's already a game more of a game. Maybe one of the zombie run type things on Android or somesuch.
hahah yeah sorry bad choice of words; didn't mean that pejoratively
It's all good.
Just the wrong thread to come into with questions and essentially call us all freaks!
There's a buncha "games" like this that could interest you though.
