Nom

Ha, I did exactly the same thing yesterday. I've been told to take 3-5 days off to recover, and in my head that also means 3-5 days off the crazy restrictive diet.

you guys trying to bring me back to the darkside -_- now I am craving pizza

if I am gonna go that way, Better do it know instead of late at night anyway.

 

[KillerBEA]

Holy moly, Chris Duffin just did 1002 lbs for 2 (almost 3 reps) Sumo Deadlift.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

wrist curls are a pain

They are also a waste of time IMO.

Any suggestions for a gym bag?

I'm looking for something that has both a clean and dirty compartment. Something so I can put my clean gi in the clean part and then when I take my gi off after class I can stash it in the dirty section of the bag. Same with gym clothes. Is there such a bag?

Most gym bags. What's your budget? And do you need it to be something you could theoretically carry around all day (ala Lululemon) or would you prefer something that looks like a gym bag (ala Under Armour or Nike)?

Not all day. Just something to take to bjj/gym.

Will be Deadlifting on Sunday instead of friday so I won't be strting next weeks training til probably next Tuesday or Wednesday. ugh

 

[Oblivion]

Oh, I finally got the actual numbers for my cholesterol results. It's 136 for me, and the upper end for a healthy level is supposed to be 130.

So that's not really too much, right?

Today marks the halfway point if my projected 5 year survival rate and 2.5 years of being without a functioning thyroid. Some days are good and plenty were bad but I'm halfway there. Blood markers down, current tumor shrinking and back to the bulk.

Here's to the FitGAF community and the next 2.5 years. Raise a plate of food in one hand and iron in the other and toast to more gains, cuts, health and stealth brag phone case, hair and bulge pics! Cheers!

While most of us here play life on hard mode, Jack has to up the ante and take it to survival mode.

I am going to try the wrist stuff for 2 months and see if I see any improvement. worth a try

You're better off carrying/holding heavy shit.

Why are you doing wrist curls?

I lift heavy boxes for a living, but my forearms are the same for the most part. so worth a shot

 

[Jacksinthe]

Thanks all! If it keeps going like it's going the chances of it coming back won't be zero but they won't be high so that's a plus.

Now if science can just make us all a pill so we don't keep injuring ourselves we will all be set!

Carrying boxes isn't the same as holding 400+ lbs.

Lol. We talking deadlifts/shrugs here?

Think I will stick to the curls/extensions and get back to yah in 2 months

Deadlifts, shrugs, farmer walks, and static holds to name a few. Would be more efficient than wrist curls too.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

5lbs from my target weight. I have been increasing my calorie intake. Feeling good to be back at this weight again. Now to stay in this gym

 

[lenovox1]

Not all day. Just something to take to bjj/gym.

Nike's bags are large with plenty of compartments including seperate wet/dry storage. A bit pricey for the quality, maybe, but I don't know all their bag options.

Hey guys, I went from 185 (8.28.16) to 169 (10.8.16) since starting MMA fight training (Muay Thai, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, Sparring for about 2-3 hours a day for five days) but my stomach seems to be getting softer and flabbier as time goes by instead of getting harder? I've been on a broccoli/brown rice/chicken breast diet and I've been eating very clean with minimal cheat meals, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Here's my weight/dates:

185 (8.28.16)
181 (9.4.16)
177 (9.10.16)
174 (9.20.16)
173 (9.29.16)
172 (10.3.16)
169 (10.8.16)

Thanks Fitness Gaf!

Are you lifting?

 

[av2k]

Are you lifting?

Not at all but my arms are way more muscular and bigger than they were before. As for my belly, I've been doing about ab exercises to failure everyday for about 10 minutes each day in Muay Thai training.

You may be losing muscle. Hardness comes muscle. Start lifting. Pick up a copy of Starting Strength and get them delicious muscles.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Oh there's no maybe, losing 16 lbs. in 6 weeks without lifting.

 

[velociraptor]

I just ate 1200 calories of chocolate... I feel a mixture of emotions right now. Lol.

I'm still in a deficit though, which means I won't get fat, right?

 

[Szu]

Saw this magazine and I immediately thought about MTP.

If you stick you your allotment you'll be good!

Unless these are the ab exercises that you're doing for 10 minutes, I don't think you're going to develop more muscle in that region.

Actually, we do use medicine ball to lightly drop on our stomachs in class, lol.

The reason I think that I'm not losing muscle is because.. well, my arms have gotten wayyy bigger with much more definition as well as my legs, they have gotten pretty muscular. My only concern is that the belly fat I had went from hard -> soft but it turns out that is a side effect of using fat. It becomes less dense and becomes... soft and squishy. bleagh. Hopefully it'll go away soon.

The bodybuilding forums can contain a lot of bro science and assholes. It tends to be the last place I look for info, but that doesn't mean that you didn't find the right answer.

The most surprising finding of my chocolate binge is that I feel like I have boundless energy and focus. Woah. I don't think I've ever felt this hyped for a long, long time.

Swam a mile straight today. Currently proceeding to eat my weight in donuts (that's 65lbs but who's counting).

 

[Navi]

Bulking. Currently 168-170 and the target goal is 180.
Had a guy photoshop a picture of what my total progress
could look like. It was.. mad cool lol

 

[KmA]

For everyone who is at their goal body, how long did it take to get there? I'm only a year into lifting and obviously I feel like I look a lot better than I did last year but I don't even feel remotely close to my goal. Maybe in like 2-3 years I'll get there but I'm so impatient lol. I'm only 22 so I shouldn't really worry too much I've got a lot of time to build more muscle but I've always been kind of a small guy it makes me kind of anxious not reaching my goals fast enough.

 

[alternade]

Finally squatted 315lbs! Felt like I was going to shit myself but it was worth it!

what are your goals?

I stopped trying to "get that body I saw in that pic on someone else" a while ago, your body will follow a path you are not aware off and you won't look like anybody else.

I train to the best of my capactity and don't try to dwell as much on some kind of promised results, it leads nowhere (for me).

at 22, getting a Six-pack and reasonably ripped should be doable within a year if you started being skinny a year ago.

if you want to pack muscle, start training now and wait til your 30s, that's probably the best point in time to see the results of years of training.

Welp, tomorrow I'm starting the keto diet. I dont really like the word "diet" since it sounds temporary, ephemeral. This is a lifestyle change I'm making. If I followed enough Zefah posts from his years of praising Keto in every GAF health thread, the rules I set myself are:

-75%+ of calories from Fats, 20-25% from Protein, 0-5% Net Carbs
-Stock up on potassium/magnesium to avoid the Keto flu feeling
-drink a loooooot of water
-Get enough fiber from the raw veggies you can actually eat
-Omega-3s, Saturated/Mono fats GOOD, Trans Fat BAD

I got my macros, I got the food with the right macro/micronutrients, I got my goal plan, I got my exercise regiment on lock, lets do it
