Just get back to it bro and keep me posted

That is some big Squat numbers right there.

How much poundage have you lost so far, 50? what is your goal weight?

Have you been getting weaker? thats something I am worried about.

Keep at it.

Keep at it.

As of yesterday I lost 47 lbs...3 lbs away from 50.
My goal weight before I go on a bulk is about 185 lbs cut and ripped!
So that is another 103 lbs!

And as for getting weaker, did not happen yet. I will have to wait and see.

I am too nice to do that
Tend to keep a low profile at the gym, except people tend to stare at me when I do my lifts

I agree

I agree

probably because you move a huge amount of iron! or maybe because your diet and exercise is so effective that they think youre wasting away before their eyes!

In all honesty I don't care but my wife feel uneasy about it when she works out with me!
Since she can't work out now, I just go about my business and let them stare

Can't wait to reach the 50 lbs milestone, than the 100 and finally the 150

theyre gunna come rollin by soon! why cant your wife go with ya anymore?

oh and i agree i dont think you're gunna be losing any strength during this cut. you should be pretty good at these strength levels (and higher!) for quite a while

[cawiau]

She had surgery and did not get the green light to start exercising yet! We will find out tomorow!

Also, I feel bad for saying this but I would not mind if she never came back to working out with me...she is a bit of a complainer and it upset me to see her work so hard at the gym than go home and start eating like ****!

Comment:
I was running out of time because I had to take the wife to the doctors! Hoping the snow storm does not get worse, so later on I could do squats, shoulders and cardio
Workout was good but not great! Got to keep pushing forward

[cawiau]

I know bro, been there done that! I would kill myself in the gym only to go and order some Burger kind, eat a pizza and binge eat thru the night!
I guess it motivates her, but she does not see anything wrong with the way she eats! So talking to her about it only make her more defensive!
Like the saying goes: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
Until she wakes up and decided to make the change like I did, there is nothing I can do!

You stacked it! No you are so in! I love the way you lift. You da man!

Yeah bro, I am so happy to be in! Thanks for the support!

mmmaaaaannnnnn someday i wanna be in... stupid gym with 120s. dont need to stack um yet... makin me feel all left out and stuff

No worries bro, you will get there soon enough! I believe in you

[Freddie Beef]

Dude, I like o do my curls in the rack, but I always move when someone asks. Boot em out next time. That sounds almost as aggravating as needinga machine while someone sits in it between sets and wont let you work in. I always get up and let someone work in.

Yeah, it is frustrating!
I am just hoping the snow does not get too bad and the gym is still open later on so I can do my squats, shoulders and cardio!
Now I am pissed at the snow
