Jiek_Fafn 05/04/20 8:01:01 PM #51:	I feel like I wasted my youth on functional strength and being able to push around a lot of weight for my skinny ass body. Honestly, I just want to look better with my shirt off. It's been my focus for the past few years. It's part of why I'm doing like a dozen different exercises a day rather than focus on a few heavy lifts. I racked up a lot of injuries for essentially nothing back then that still plague me. I'm older but look dramatically better even if I'm not quite as strong overall. As far as today's workout: mixed results. Feel like I'm losing some raw power on this extreme cut but was brimming with energy so I added like 4 more exercises into the end of my routine. I can't tell if I straight up can't lift as many reps on my dumbell bench press or if during my struggle to get into position I'm wasting a lot of energy. With no spotter that lift is always a struggle to get into position so it has always made for super slow progression. I'm just not sure if I was screwing it up today or I'm losing strength. I do lower weight reps of it on Tu/Th/Sat so hopefully those go fine. --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:938613140] in How are yo...

Which means if I'm staying the same weight then that has to mean I'm replacing fat with muscle. Working great for me :) I have done every nutrition plan known to man so luckily for me I'm pretty in tune with how my body reacts. So far, one meal a day is treating it well. If you dont have abs then you arent lean, and each percent of body fat is roughly 2-3lbs. Also takes quite a bit longer for your body to build new muscle than it does to lose fat... it was less of the one meal a day thing and more that your diet consists of salami, hamburgers and little Debbie snacks... if youve tried every nutrition plan known to man Id think youd realize there are far more optimal ways to make progress than eating salami all day or having a burger and half a little Debbie snack... but Im not here to rag on you.

I'm shredded atm, but have low energy, very easily aggitated, temper issues, etc. Added in a 5th meal per day. Bought porkrinds, almond whip cream, and pumpkin to treat myself everyday. Makes me happy. <cite>LampChop posted [p:938655179] in How are yo... [t:78654014]...</cite> <quote>Doing intermittent fasting 16/8 twice a week.

I also will stack two chairs on top of each other cushion to cushion to make an H shape and kneel underneath. Another method is to put a book or something under a door so you don't rip off the hinges and use that. I've never found a comfortable way to do the door thing though. I may simply not be strong enough. More than one dude i know has had a doorway pull up bar either really screw up their door jam or completely give way and they've fallen to an injury, so I have a fear of those. --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:938655797] in How are yo...
