I'm still at it too......

I stopped tracking on the 1st but I'm still holding @ 146, I'm happy there. I started a full body routine 3x a week, so far I'm happy with it. My only problem is the 3 day a week part...... I really want to go more

I'm only doing the big lifts now, finally !!! Squats 2x a week & DL's once. Squats are killin me but DL's feel great....... should hit 315 within a month. Ohp working sets at #90 but moving foward. Bench work is up to 135- this is my biggest struggle.

Updated on my surgery results......
My fusion is 100% healed. The doc said my recovery was amazing. Unfortunately I definitely have nerve damage. I still have pain down my arm and started having a lot of pain in my joints, mainly fingers & wrist. He wants me to try Lyrica but the side effects scare the hell outta me, lol. I see the doc again in Aug.

Thats about it for me..........

Oh, my current goal is to maintain 145ish until my lifts stall. Most would prolly bulk but I am regaining strength and see no need to add weight, I just don't think I'll get stronger from eating more. If I wasn't dealing with this surgery crap I would prolly jump back to #155.

What the heck. I am 100% drug free (unless you count liptor, blood thinners, experimental meds, etc), 100% supplement free, no diet aids, no nada and well it sucks. I also have a hard time training legs due to body structure and open heart surgery. But I am working my way back anyway and train as hard as I can.

Long time no see!! Looking good Mythie!

Thank you been a bit tough going last few years but I think I may have righted the ship so to speak. I also now work 50-60 hours a week so dont have much free time.

Here's a picture I just took. I know I look sh#tty but I haven't lifted much as I am healing. Diet has been really good though and I eat all my calories in a 5 hour window. I look great with clothes on though. My goal is to cut and retain what little muscle I have. I weigh 181.3 as of today. At 50 this is where it feels right for me. I am hoping I can get down to 170 cut for Sept 1.

I wanna believe you, I really do. Maybe a video of you holding a piece of paper with your forum handle on it will do the trick.

Sept 1 update

Picture of me Sept 1. (tank top sun line) Doesn't look like much difference but fat is going. Not crazy about what the skin is doing but hopefully it tightens up. Down to 173. Goal is 168 for Dec 1. Doing bodyweight exercises 3X per week 1 hour each. Rarely any cardio. Protein intake is at 60-80g per day. Calories around 1700. Mostly vegetables, fish and any junk I feel like. Still eating all calories in a 4-6 hour window. Easy lifestyle to maintain. (Don't normally wear my pants like a retard but these jeans are literally falling off.) Blood panel came back excellent. Next update Dec 1.

Why so few grams of protein? With that deficit you should be doubling that. And the skin after 40 sucks, and from experience getting to single digits and staying there for a while until it tightens up is the only way. I'm around 10% and still need to lose 5-7 lbs., slowly getting there.

Hey highiso, looking sick as always. I don't seem to be losing much muscle on low protein and my blood kidney function numbers went down 30%. Its all about health for me now. You are going look amazing in single digits.

ITT a troll posts a friendly competitive thread. The OP troll breaks his on rules for posting his progress pics until called out by a mod. Then OP troll posts what appears to be pictures of county singer Tim McGraw as his progress pics. Now the same OP troll posts new thread and now somehow has credibility?

.... waiting on BH to ask Who the F is Tim McGraw?

Apparently he is me. I wouldn't recommend goggling him. I made that mistake and a picture of him wearing a leather speedo and a cowboy hat is now etched in my mind.
