I think I may be a member now, if not now, I will be shortly. Slowly getting there. Couldn't do it without the Fitness thread. lol
300 posts and at least 3 months right? This is my 300th.
Anyways, anyone here have tendinitis in any of their joints? My shoulder is flaring up again, and I don't know what I could do to help manage it a bit better. I usually have to stop lifting if it flared up in the gym in fear of it making it worse. Outside of the gym I am icing it a few times throughout the day.

I know FitGAF loves Chipotle. $3 Chipotle on Halloween, but only if you're in costume.

They're basically big, fairly stupid looking people.
Though without genitalia... I'm quite interested as to how far Szu is willing to go for a cheap Chipotle.
This make me laugh out loud at my desk at work. People staring.

Fuck the diet police!
These diet comments remind me of a conversation that I had with a regular female gym rat.
This woman is awesome. She's probably in her early 50's. She's about 5'5" and weighs probably 145 lbs. But she sumo deadlifts 315 for reps. Major respect for her.
Another huge gym rat asked her for some advice on diet.
She said that she doesn't care about that shit. She eats whatever she wants and lifts heavy. However, she doesn't want carbs so she cut that out.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, the hopping vampire sounds like a pretty good costume.
My back plan would just to go topless and wear a headband. When it's my turn to be served, I'll menacingly point at them and say "I am necks."

Cooking this tonight, though with normal sausage as apparently the only place I can get (non nasty hot dog style) chicken sausage is online.

lol (i get this reference), let us know how it turns out
been meaning to get into frittata's
I get sore joints which I assume is tendinitis. I can usually manage it by lowering the weight and staying away from certain exercises that aggravate it. Eventually it goes away. Hope that helps.
Thats what I thought. Its just that I've only seen people do it with a rotary movement (at least thats how it looked) and it looks like it puts more strain on your shoulder joints.
Did Squats and Deadlifts today. I have a small pain on my left ass check, where it connects to the lowerback. Normally, after performing the exercises I don't really feel anything until the next day but today and last week I usually get a small pain. I actually wouldnt call it pain just a sensation, and I normally feel it when walking or standing up from a sitting position. Something to be worried about? It normally goes away after 2-3 days.
And I only get it after doing Squat/Deadlift day.

Feeling a bit better now. All I could taste was blood for about half hour. Unpleasant.
Glad tomorrow is a rest day.
On the subject of the frittata, it was ok... but to be honest I don't think it was anything special. I'd have it again at a push but I think I'd have to go in a different direction with the spices.

Speaking of food, my wife recommended breakfast for dinner tonight... But I already had prepped stuff for chili cheese dogs.
...why not both, you ask? Good question. Gonna get fat tonight.

Been sick the last few days...no working out. 
So...only been doing You Are Your Own Gym and definitely look like I'm getting fatter around my stomach again...sigh. Time to add cardio back in with a vengeance. Once I'm not sick, I think I'll do YAYOG in the morning, and a cardio at the end of the day.
Doesn't help that I've been eating like total shit lol. Still staying around 1200-1400cals, but it's all garbage.

When it comes to weight loss, you can't outwork a bad diet. The reverse is true for pretty much every other aspect of fitness (cant rely on diet to gain strength, endurance, mobility, lean mass etc... if your program is poor), but for fat loss, diet is paramount.Been sick the last few days...no working out.

My grip is starting to fail on my deadlifts. Otherwise they still feel quite easy on the rest of my body. I'm adding on farmers walks to try and help (which are fantastic btw wish i had tried them earlier). Otherwise not sure what else is good for grip strength.
On my bench i'm really trying to rework my form. I'm having trouble keeping my shoulder blades together. Going to do a bit of a deload to work on my form i think.
Edit: I still haven't tried the overhand/underhand grip. I'll give that a go next workout and see how it pans out.

How do I stop these sugar cravings
Dropped everything and going cold turkey and it's like a drug addict going in withdrawal lol
Any keto friendly food that can help me ? Eating walnuts to fit my macros but can't overeat them tho I love em.
Sugar is your body's prefered source of energy, that's why you keep getting cravings.
If you are doing one of those low-carb atkins type diets, then there is a 1-2 week adjustment period where you feel like shit. Once your body is used to it you don't feel so bad though.

I find it quite hard to fit them into my routine though, so I've only been doing grip exercises sporadically. I tend to end up just using wraps for deadlifting.
Unrelated to that... I've really got to stop drinking water after say, 2 hours before bed. I've been drinking huge amounts to stay properly hydrated, but I think I'm tending to drink too much of it late in the day rather than throughout the day. Lost count of the amount of times I've ended up waking up to go to the toilet lately, and I don't think I'm quite of that age yet!

At some point you will have to switch to mixed or hook grip (or straps). If you keep using double overhand for you warm-ups your grip will still get stronger without limiting your ability to progress on the lift. Don't forget chalk either, assuming your gym allows it.
confession time: I do mixed grip at all times, warm-up and main sets alike. Same with chalk, I use it from the very first set.
I read the reasoning about strengthening grip but I wasn't convinced, I don't feel any difference at all in my body, regarding the effort I am putting into the lift.which is what matters to me.
it makes DLifting a lot easier, I am not sure if it's considered cheating.
Regarding Chalk, with the lack of ventilation in my gym and having sweaty hands at all times, DLing turns very fast into an exercise in futility without it
guilty as charged I guess.

Don't know if I every knew there was an OT for fitness... or maybe I just forgot. I should stay posting here more.
Anyway I run 4-6 miles, lift (mostly upper body due to limitations in my buildings gym), and just started doing yoga 2 months ago. I do one a day and typically go 5 or 6 days a week unless something really busy is happening. Glad to be here! Will be asking for advice soon!

I think you'll only notice it when the lift starts to get really heavy and if you continue trying to progress. It definitely makes a difference, and the difference in effort would only be felt in your actual grip, not the lift itself. Eventually you'll stall based on grip even with a mixed grip and chalk, and you likely wouldn't have that same issue occur so soon had you gone through the standard progressions of standard, mixed, chalk on your sets.

Yeah i knew i would have to change but today was the first time i've really felt like my grip was having trouble. I'll definitely try mixed grip next workout. I've seen someone else using chalk so i think its probably allowed, that was actually a big part of my problem it's ridiculously hot at the moment and i was sweating a lot. Will try not to use chalk if possible though.
Had no idea about doing warmup sets with normal grips so i'm glad you said that. Now if i can just work out my bench..........

Hmm... today is a rest day but I really feel like I want to be lifting or doing something.
That doesn't seem like a good thing. Has never happened before.

Peanut Butter all day every day for sugar cravings. Obviously very sweet without having any significant amount of sugar.
But same issue with just eating nuts, easy to overeat. I caught myself eating 600-800 calories of peanut butter in a sitting every once and awhile lol.
I went ham on carbs the other day. Was really craving some so I ate a huge plate of rice before bed. Dat 5 pound gain overnight.

I eat rice pretty much every day. Om nom nom.

I'm thinking about purchasing that new 'Microsoft Band'. I'm a health nut, so it wouldn't go to waste. Plus, it has other functionalities outside of fitness which sound cool.
Anyone have any experience with similar fitness bands? Or opinions on fitness tracking technology?

They have no means of identifying how many plates you're squatting, therefore they are useless.

Band: "Are you even lifting?"
On topic. The real key will be how well the optical heart rate sensor works. Some of them can be really flaky because of light leaking in down the side of the band.
