Been there brother!
In the motivation section I posted a thread called A recovered Alcoholic/Addict and his secret.
It touches on some of the stuff you can use to great effect to never pick up...

Cheers for the reps dude!

Just re-read your post, and thought I'd add in. If you're talking about that "I looked bigger and more buff at home" feeling....that is normal too. Alone at home with no one to compare ourselves to,...

It's natural to compare, and it's a sign your long term goals are healthy that makes you compare yourself to the bigger guys in the gym and not the smaller guys.
If you wanted to, you could see...

This! We all daydream. All of us fantasize. Some more than others. Those of us who are lazier than most fall back on our daydreams instead of kicking into action. Want to feel like you're a part of...

Negative on the sweat!!!

Yeah, the list was a revelation to me. The main 3 when it comes to drink and drugs are pride, self pity and Self centerdness....they occur again and again.
I've personally found that arrogance and...

Won't tell you my whole story except to say I'm 3.5 years sober. Started to work towards a healthier body 2 years ago and have been lifting in earnest for the last year. Progress is a happenin' !!:) ...

And thank you too swimmer!!

Thank you Eileen! It's what I thought.
Been on keto for about a year by the way. Awesome. Unprecedented results.

...Why exactly do you store fat once you come of a low carb diet? If the macros are still under maintenance and you eat low fat...why would the carbs be stored as fat?
Everyone keeps saying you need...

Two part question...first mainly has to do with my bicep workout.
I do high volume at 60% of 1 Rep Max in general (4sets, 10reps). For biceps, I use an EZ curl bar for standing barbell curls....

...sorry...to answer your question more effectively. YES. Absolutely! It will definitely be effective with regards to fat loss. All cardio is. It's a matter of trial and error. What is better at...
