Tell them to suck it lol. As long as you're happy and pain free, that's all that matters!

[SHOWTIME]

Was finally able to bench 225 for 6 reps today. Doesn't sound like much, but 2 months ago I could barely do the bar without pain. It looks like physio is slowly but surely paying off. I'm still not a big fan of Turkish getups though lol

Ever thought of just dropping BB bench?
No need for it really.
Just go crazy with dumb bells.

[rebeckyt]

meh, rough week and only down on the scale a pound.

A pound a week is good loss I think. What are you aiming for?

Improvement is always good, especially when it's coming back from an injury!

I was all proud I got was able to do 135x2 again yesterday after my 4 working sets. I'm still only at 1600 cal/day so too. Reverse dieting is slow but so worth it so far!

[mordag]

weight not coming down and it's monday /feelsbadman

might have to rethink diet or add in HIIT since I was losing with 0 cardio

[sglgirl]

A pound a week is good loss I think. What are you aiming for?

not sure to be honest. last show I came in at 125 and not lean enough, so I would think I would like to keep a target of 125-130

[Vytis]

So do I. Just keep pluggin away....

With 10 weeks left you could lose another 10-12lbs...would that get you to your goal conditioning? If not, then let's kick it up a notch! You can do this!

weighed in at 139.2 today

So you are aiming more for 1.5 lbs/week? Have you been doing cardio yet or just relying on dietary changes?

Tate Rants: Dieting
By Dave Tate

You ever go out with a bunch of people for dinner when you're dieting? Isn't that a ****ed up situation?

Let's say you're at a table with seven people and everyone's ordering their food. You're at the end so you're ordering last. They're getting ribs, chicken strips, spaghetti, and whatever. No one in the group cares what they're ordering. The conversation stays the same. Then it comes to you and your first question is, "How do you prepare your chicken breasts?"

People start looking at you.

Then you order two plain chicken breasts with a side of broccoli with no butter or seasoning. The waiter writes it down and off he goes to the kitchen. Now everyone's looking at you like you're a freak.

They didn't care that your other friend was eating ribs. They didn't say **** when the guy ordered his chicken strips. So how is your meal selection any different? It blows my mind.

If you ordered something that was complete ****, no one would say anything. But because you ordered something to help you achieve a goal, it's a problem. And now for the next ten minutes you're having that stupid ****ing conversation.

"It's so easy for you to lose weight," they say. "I can't do it."

And you're thinking, really? Here I am at Outback Steakhouse ordering two plain chicken breasts and broccoli – which is gonna cost me 40 bucks by the way – and it's easy? This is something I want to do? You think I want to sit here and watch you ****ers eat wings and ribs?

I'm here for your company, not to give you dieting tips you're not gonna listen to. – Dave Tate

[-=FLEX=-]

^^^ lmao


I always order steak. Problem solved.

[cactusflower]

Hey team...how goes the battle?

it goes...it goes ... lol

Waaayyy too hot today :S

How does everyone cope with this heat?

A/c at work, a/c on subway, a/c on bus, a/c in car, a/c at home, a/c at gym .... do you see a pattern yet?

Would rather -40 degrees weather (srs)

Are you high?!?!?!?! Hell no! I'll take the heat over the miserable cold any day!

[benchboss]

Recently started doing alot of heavy farmers walks. I've always done them here and there but never much consistency. Anyone here do many of these? And if so, were they beneficial to you?

[IslandGirl84]

*waves from halfway around the world!!*

Can someone mail me some friggen Tim Hortons! I miss home!

That's awesome...how about (as Bob & Doug would say) a 6 pack of Crullers?

[mordag]

if I was in Australia, last thing I would be thinking about is Tim Hortons, just saying, for me it would be thinking about poutine

some day, I need to go visit Australia

Repped.

Really the reason why people 'hate' on others who actually have goals and stick to them is because they're jealous.

They don't want to admit that you work harder than them, so they instead would rather tell themselves (and others) that you're a freak.

Basically, they make up excuses for themselves ..

Are you high?!?!?!?! Hell no! I'll take the heat over the miserable cold any day!

Lol I'm joyful and happy when it's cold out - so no misery there!

[MatTheCur]

Really? We're all different!

You can put more layers on in the cold... or not push your SO away under the covers

Heat you're just sticky and miserable and spending sh!t-tons of cash on electricity for AC.
