Paying 10 bucks a month + convenient location + 24/7/365 access>>>>>>40+ bucks a month + limited gym hours

DO WORK!

You can't Deadlift or squat though that's wa k. My gym us 28 a month n 24/7 everyday beside Sunday it ain't like a hardcore gym like Golds but niggas do get right and they not trying saba to age you with fucking tooties rolls and pizza. Get it how ou can respect anyone who treats there body right

Bruh I walk past those tootsie rolls every time I walk in and walk out. No one is forcing folks to take'em, or get a slice of pizza (which is only served during the day). I've seen people at other gyms get done wit workin out, and immediately go outside and start smoking a cigarette.

Believe, I aint worried about tootsie rolls and pizzas. Lol.

Moving up back up to 50lb dumbbells for the bicep curls.

Never in a million years would my skinny self think that one day I'd be doin that. DO WORK!

So is that considered power lifting at Planet Fitness?? LOL. No good shit my g. I don't post much anymore but best believe I been staying in the gym. Props to everyone.

Yeah about 4 years ago I was up to 50lb, then I pulled something in my elbow. Fell back for a almost 2 months b/c I couldn't lift anything on that arm.

Had that not happen, I know I would be curling 65, maybe 70 right now.

@J-GUTTA last time I remember you posting you were about to start up on tren how'd that work out for you?

I remember going to the gym during the day, saw all the people in it, walked right back out.

My attitude was "The f*** I look l like waiting in line to get on the bench press, or any other machine." Nigga got spoiled having the gym to myself. Lol

Any takes on using external dates/significant events to get back in shape i.e.

Get down to 230lbs by first week of June

Drop 15 lbs by trip to London on Aug 12th

Etc

Depends if it's realistic. At maxes should be looking to lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week

Right now I'm targeting about 1.75-2 per week until June. So roughly 20lbs. When I get down to that I look to lose about 1.25-1.5 until I head off to London on Aug 12th. Once you start dropping pounds it becomes tougher to maintain that 2lbs a week rate.

Right now I'm looking for a nice reward system. I think at 230 lbs I'll go for some new clothes.

How much do you weight it's hard but it's doable

I'm roughly 248, 5'11.

Cutting calories to about 2,000. I usually walk about 2 miles a day just going to and from classes and other campus events.

Play soccer about twice a week and usually run 10-12 miles a week. I drink sparingly and don't

Even if i dont get 230 exact but get like 233 by first week of June, the progress alone is a win.

At 230 I'll then incorporate weights.

218 by Mid-August is definitley reasonable

Bruh if you this active, weight should be falling off

Sound like your diet holding you back

This new regime I've been doing for the past 4 weeks and dropped about 7 lbs. I'm in the DC area so it just started getting warm so that's why I've been getting more active. Jan-Mid March? Man forget it. I was averaging maybe 4 miles a week at best.

Yep, diet has been in a flux, but again, I've been consistent for the past 4 weeks. Previously funds were low and I was eating whatever I could find on campus. One word. Pizza.

Got myself a decent job so now I can buy groceries and cook pretty decent food. I do Sunday meal prep and make lunch and dinner for the entire week. Breakfast I usually do eggs, oatmeal and a banana. May do a turkey sandwich every now and then with a kale berry smoothie. I still got some ways to go by controlling myself on the weekends. Those saturday brunches can ruin an entire week worth of work.

Again, it's a lifestyle thing. So part of that lifestyle is making sure I have the finances to keep healthy wholesome foods nearby. Don't over eat and just look forward to exercising. It's as much a mental thing as it is a physical thing.

I will say I'm nearly 30lbs down from my heaviest ever (275lbs). Man at that weight it was unbearable. My knees were my worst enemy. Sweatpants all day every day. In my room all the time. Man those were some dark times.

Yep I have entitlement issues I guess I feel like that's my equipment lol, feel like telling them thanks for keepin my bench warm now it's time for you to go do some cardio.

[J-GUTTA]

Dropped about 10 to 15 lbs since January since adding a heart rate monitor to keep my heart rate in fat burn zone. Just got back from Guatemala so by July when I go to D.R.

Kettlebell training corrects muscle, strenght and mobility imbalances

^^^^ this

i tried one legged KB deadlifts and talk about not being balanced. I was all over the place. I'ma use this as a staple of my core activity. You definitely get a sense of how unbalanced you are.

Summer is basically here in Anchorage. Havent been going to the gym as often as I said i would lol. Mainly due to these meetings i Have 3 times a week and lack of transportation at the moment. Just no energy to do shit. Going to start riding my bike to work next week. Will be 4 miles there. Then im going to ride my bike to my meetings which is another 4-6 miles away from work then bike home 10ish miles home. Might ride around this weekend to get my body ready for the significant work it will put in lol, but im hoping once i get adapted to the bike riding I will have the energy/motivation to get my ass to the gym.
