Try to avoid the extremes of 1700 and 2900. Find a middle ground.
Its not uncommon to make huge jump on scale after heavy restriction, so dont panic.
Dieters fail at eating maint because they have 2 settings
1) hunger
2) the old way
Your just finding a third setting.
3) normal
Its ok for normal to start out as hard, as long as you progress.The most important aspect of weight training; whether for the athlete, bodybuilder, or average person is to better ones health and ability without injury. - Bill Pearl

So I decided I would post the picture of my loses due to not training for 5 months. I'll be taking the initiative to train better than ever this fall to get it back. The damn concussion really f'd with me and my plans for this summer.
Last year, my AVI and this picture below was after 4 days of drinking a lot and eating everything while in Mexico. The weight in the vacation picture was about 4 lbs heavier than the current one.
The pictures won't be up long

Hey, at least your lean Mrm, but there is definitely some flatness and size reduction going on.
On the bright side it should return fairly fast once you get back to proper training, gotta love muscle memory.

Fit status: I'm fat.
Training status: Non-existent
Diet: hmm? lol j/k, I have done ok the past few days.
I have taken a break from training altogether after reading Gray Cook's Movement: Functional Movement Systems: Screening, Assessment, Corrective Strategies. Basically, he created the functional movement system to establish a standard for basic movement, mobility and stability that everyone should be able to do without pain. He then goes on to discuss (in so much depth) of how people build on a foundation that hasn't been established (because there hasn't been an established standard when it comes to movement) and end up masking imbalances and risk of injury. Someone can be capable of performing exercises well and show signs in screening that they possess imbalances, limited movement or asymmetries. Building on an unstable foundation can at first appear to be successful, but will eventually manifest later on in the form of hitting a wall or becoming injured.
It has been very intriguing reading this book. There are 7 movements total that one should be capable of performing without pain. I'm probably going to test myself today but am positive that I will probably discover something in the lower chain. It might explain so much, like why my squat just doesn't feel right. It's very possible that I have muscles that are not firing correctly and becoming properly activated...and it makes sense to have a standardized screening to regularly test whether or not one is capable of performing basic functional movements in order to ensure low risk of injury and proper relationships between the muscles and joints. It also lets one know whether their training is appropriate and properly balanced.
If there is any pain, he has developed another screening when you can really break down the region and figure out what is the weakest link.
I'm still wrapping my head around it all (there is so much content in this book) but I want to make sure that I can perform basic movements correctly before I pick up any more weights.
TLDR; Gray Cook's book is the $hit and anyone who cares a lot about moving / lifting efficiently and avoiding injuries should probably check it out.

I haven't taken any pics of myself in a while...been so busy taking pics of everyone else! lol.
My man made a semi-pro football team out here for a native tribe that is sponsored by Nike and took some pics of him this weekend...he'll have to do in my stead
He's playing defensive tackle in this game but more than likely will be playing LB since he's the perfect size and can run a 4.5 second 40m.
He's around 210 lbs atm.

Sooo, in the last 22 hours I have had 250kcal (protein bar and BCAA's), 75min of moderate-high intensity cardio (bike tells me I burned 1350kcal... suuuuuure.) and about to do my Push workout, am I gonna die ?
eta: testing out Synephrine, too early to tell but didn't have the cold stubborn fat patches as I usually do during cardio and appetite suppression seems noticeable. Could just be placebo effect though, will know after some more testing.Last edited by Znik; 07-14-2015 at 09:40 AM.

Loved being able to watch a game in person again, has been a minute. How is your son doing? Making any gains in bball offseason?
Already have the kettle bell haha! Becoming obsessed might not be a bad thing for me, think my hips are shot. Starting to get some hip joint pain just sitting crosslegged. Using hips for evrything = glutes for days amirite?

love it. lots of pics today. i miss so much when i’m on mobile.
Znik, looking fierce!
MrM, you’re smaller but still looking good.
Kristen, some sound advice from Ejnar!
MissLadyJ, it’s great to see your man out there having fun. rly like the second pic.
i’ve kind of given up on training “properly” since my circumstances change so often. the only signs of progress in my case are my pics since i’m stalled out on everything. in some ways i’m ok with that since the weights are still challenging.
Ejnar, she's a kettlebell aficionado already, doe.
The pic isn't anything special, lol, i promise.
lol, Mavajo. it really is random. there are far better pics on the page in question. [google, how do you even work?] and the row depends on your browser size and zoom, that’s why i posted an image to look out for.Last edited by caprica6; 07-14-2015 at 10:02 AM.

the photobucket that i was trying to set up, it was for these old pics. i couldn’t take a current one b/c one of my eyelids was swollen - the swelling is almost gone now.
the first jpg is a pic of my hair supermanning. i trimmed my bangs myself on Sunday night so they’d continue to do this. guys seem to like it when my bangs are short enough to curl in front.
second jpg - are there any strong objections to my hair being short as it is in the middle pic? this question is really meant for any potential husbands out here, but all feedback is appreciated. :P my current haircut is kind of messed up in back so i'm thinking about chopping it all off. it's currently shoulder length.

He is trying. His offseason is on season. He plays year round. Finished 5 club tournaments and practice, does HS bb camp, now back at club practices with tourneys in cal and las vegas this month.
His coach is proud of him though. So hard for these kids to gain. Coach says to him last week, you know yiu have 30 pounds on the next biggest guy your siza on the team? But its not enough for your goals, keep eating.
Id love for him to take a few months off, but he really likes his club coach guys good with movement, footwork in the paint, and one of the affiliated young men (college player) works with him often as his shot coach.
He just grew again last week. Over 6'4" now, just under 190. He's been stuck a while there. Not for lack of effort. I think hes eating as much as me and serp put together.
Buying him a trap bar was the smartest thing I ever did for the home gym. Hes resting power cleans atm and working on keeping his chins #s up and lots of rowing and pressing.

Caprica first pic supporter crew checking in.
MrM, you look good in both pics. One is cut and the other is stacked. Unlike my pics... Fat and a little unfatter.
Kmac, looking good! You look better in the right pic than the left.
Znic, you're scaring the hormones. Id be terrified too!
Ejnar, the cake is never a lie. It only whispers sweet nothings in my ear.

MrM you'll make it back man. You know your stuff, all you have to do is apply it now that you can train again. Muscle memory is literally encoded into the DNA (one theory says.)
What was the weight difference between those two pics anyways?Reliable sources of information:
