Haven't been to the gym this year, Crazy huh?

Neither..

First day back today..

[TheDoniBaer]

Recently found out one of the guys I work with owns a gym in the city. I knew he was a trainer but didn't think he actually would own a gym. Strikes me as the big, jacked, dumb guy stereotype but apparently not. Going to go down this week and check it out. Apparently he trains most of the guys that compete around here. Blew my mind.

so since he owns the gym he must not be stereotypical dumb big guy?

[TheDoniBaer]

^^ That's what I'm going with right now. I've never talked to him outside of work. He seems pretty smart when it comes to lifting and diets.

No..

I think I may do exactly this.

Wish me luck!

Welp today is the day I start my journy down to competition weight. I am going to "diet" for a week prior to stepping on the scale. I have been a fat lazy blob this last month so I am guessing somewhere around 265 for a start weight. Plan is to get to 240 for April first.



edit: LOL @ Rakich. Good luck on your first gym membership

question for all of you.

for those with wives or steady girlfriends, do they share the same passion for exercise and clean eating as you?

my wife is the antithesis of me. never exercises, eats taco bell, chocolate, drinks full sugar red bulls by the pint, drink alcohol every night. btw, she's 5' 6" 108 lbs. for 41 yrs old, she's a genetic marvel. the key to her success....portion control. 5 or 6 bites and she's done.

thankfully, I'm a plain, hard headed, routine kind of guy. her lifestyle has zero effect on me. even with a house full of ice cream, sugary cereal, pizzas, burritos, I seem to fly right by it without a single urge. I have no idea how I do it.

does your significant other hurt or help your fitness goals?

When Dave and I met I was for and very thin. We got married and by the time our second kid was born I had gained over 100 pounds. He never said much and wasn't as into fitness as he is now. I made the decision in my own. He never "noticed". I started losing weight and by the time I wanted to work out he was more. He got me into running. There were a lot of times when I didn't want to listen to him though. I've lost almost 100 pounds and can now go periods without tracking cals. Plus I love running and lifting.
You can't make someone get healthy. You can tell your concern and be there. That is it. It's their choice.

pre diet diet, I like it. What kind of "diet" are you running? Just a low cal or something in particular? 25 lbs in 12 weeks should be a cake walk. Good luck brah!

Hey we should go together, maybe get a deal

That's a good goal though. I don't stress with weight if I fit into my jeans.

Sounds like a plan!

All the best brother!

Hope you get the results you want!

Just a little less green lol.

Today is supposed to be a workout day, but looks like I'll have to skip. I've had shortness of breath and I'm a little light headed since yesterday so will cool out tonight. I use to have a lot of allergies as a kid and slightly asthmatic, but pretty much out grew most of it (too bad I didn't outgrow height wise ) but it is what it is. Can't be 100% healthy all of the time.

[PushTheWeak]

All the best brother!

Hope you get the results you want!

Thank you sir. I haven't lifted in 5 months since I have tubes hanging on every body part.

[McLarenGTR]

Bench day!!!

same. was strength chest/back day. waited 10 minutes for a bench, and after that you cant even go get water or someone will take your spot. worst part was there was no place to deadlift man. had to do some poverty bent over rows with some poverty machine.

[SeazBrah]

Sap dudes
