The thread has been about overall health and fitness since the beginning.

I started lifting again

funny I love spending every drop of energy my body makes on walking and biking so I actually hate lifting, but the T Boost you get lets you walk and bike more so its a double edged sword.

I have no one to spot me so when I bench I am doing 2 25lbs on each side 10 8 6 times twice in one day twice a week

then a curl day and a freeweight day , amazing how much gains you get on your shoulders and arms immediately if you are already in shape.

if only I could motivate myself to do more crunches

When I don't have anyone to spot me and I want to put up weight I will use the smith machine. Or I will just stick with dumbbells. Dumbbells are great because you can really build on strength and others muscles needed to stabilize the weight.

i teased before, but i just stalked this guy and now i might be thirsty [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

btw since i turned off the n bs & started str training (my 5lbs dumbell is a lot for one of my arms...) ive regained like 70% upper extremities function and searing pain frequency has dropped precipitously. i think i would actually explode out one of my new seams if i had2 do a pushup but i can drive, do a dish & blend in with ables again. got so manic on my gains that i blew out my larynx training voice and am on a vow of silence now. -________-

starting erg next week. seeing myself atrophied like this is horrifying (97th percentile body instead of 99 =/). i almost died but somehow maintained ascent during. i musthave a great destiny. abs will be more visible than ever before very soon. God bless

Any gains towards more fitness Ed allowable, more dkp for bulking points.

No gains for me this week. I'm in Chicago for biz.

[Tecmos Deception]

So my weight loss (was/am trying to cut from 250 to 2//ish before I actually try to bulk) has stalled out the last 6 weeks or so (17 weeks into a lifting program, I'm down 15 pounds). But I'm feeling much stronger. Was weak as hell, but all my lifts are up 30% (bench and overhead press are brutal for me) to 50% (I love squats).

Yay!

Now if I could actually keep off of fucking sweets and back off on the booze a bit, I'd be making big strides towards undoing the last 12 years of not exercising but still eating like I'm a college track star.

almost threw up on the ergometer this morning. grip strength measuring at literally 3.5x what i was able to apply 5 days ago. higher %gains than any nerd here.

I'm really good at gripping my shaft as well
