Just Did A Tough Mudder this past weekend with all odds against me

[rdy2bfit]

I am still very far from a healthy weight. I weight lift at least 5 days a week and do cardio at least 6 days a week. My diet is Macros based not calorie based and i wanted to test myself and see how far i could go on a tough mudder. I recently completed a tough mudder doing all 10.5 miles i wanted to quit during the hills cause they were steep and brutal. i seen people half my size having trouble with these hills. i was the last to get finished on the hills and almost last to finish the entire tough mudder. the only thing i couldn't do was 2 walls cause im to big to get over without a boost and by the time i got there i was basically by myself and there was no way i could get over a 10foot plus wall.. I hope to inspire others afraid to push them selves based on weight to try something challenging. The next time i try one will be when im at a much lower body weight. but for my size i think i did pretty damn good and had enough heart to finish no matter the pain my legs were in. crawling up steep hills for 4 mills over 250lbs is no joke on your body.



Please check out my run at the tough mudder

Good job and Keep up the hard work OP.

Thats impressive, very good for you. Glad to hear you are fighting to make a change for the better.

Also, if your goal is fat loss: your diet needs to be calorie based, not "macro based." Your first priority should be a calorie deficit. Second, hitting your macros. The deficit is what causes your body to burn fat.

Danggg mirin!

Good job OP! Had some friends do it last year, and I looked up the obstacles and NOPE. Not for me lol

Keep going

[mndthegap1]

Way to go OP. Great Job !!! I'm doing a tough mudder in Oct. and this is great motivation.
Keep it up.

That looks cool as phuck, definataly going to do one when it comes to london. How back was the electric shocks?

[rdy2bfit]

so for diet right now I am at a calorie deficient as well as macros I have Marc Lobliner of
tiger fitness/mts doing my nutrition.

Electric shock was a bitch to say the least lol. The left side I think didn't have many working so people were walking
through it easily. The host told me go to the right side its light just a few pops here and there. haha he lied about that one
they were all working and getting hit 3 or more at a time was no joke. you feel it
bad in your back and drops you on a few of them.

I might do the one in October as well if I can drop at least some good weight by then and I have the money for it.

Thanks again everyone for watching

Amazing work! That was so inspiring. With an attitude like that, you can't fail in achieving your goals.

Good job! The tough mudder here in Colorado kicked my ass last year. What was your favorite obstacle? The electroshock made me black out...didn't like that one much!

[rdy2bfit]

i didnt like the electroshock thats for sure. probably the high jump into the chocolate pool lol.. i have never jumped off anything before so i liked doing that. the lifeguard tried to save me but i had to tell him dude back the hell up i got this i can swim fine

[ZJmama]

Lol, I think that was my favorite too. I hesitated a few times, but when I finally jumped it was great!

Thank you appreciate the support. . I would have never thought I'd do it if til my gym owner talked me into it. I am definitely glad I tried something out of my comfort zone though.
