    Body Comp Transformation

    Very true! I feel a bit like the Toby Keith song “I’m not as good as I once was, but am good once as I ever was.”

    Body Comp Transformation

    All, Here is an update on my journey back to fitness. I previously was very active into my late 20s but fell off due to quite a few life factors (not using this as an excuse). Here are the keys that worked for me to get in shape and drop the dad bod (265 to 200 lbs). Resistance training is...

    Good morning UGM

    Will do! About to crash but will move this to a more specific topic for body comp changes/training

    Good morning UGM

    Here is essentially a before/after pic dating back to early 2021. Went from 265 to a current lean 200 or so. Biggest change was the focus on resistance training and secondly cleaning up the diet, specifically removing processed or high sugar foods and eating protein at weight or at or slightly...

    Good morning UGM

    Wish I had taken more pics of the trout but essentially was. Like these for 5 fish.

    Good morning UGM

    Good times! I just got back home now from a now regular annual trip to a lake on the border of KY/TN. Crushed the fishing and ended up with so many largemouth bass and a good handful of rainbow trout! Will post some pics in a new thread soon.

    Good morning UGM

    Yep can’t ever beat the outdoors. I’m not a runner/jogger, but will occasionally put on a vest that weighs up to 60 lb to increase intensity and heart rate. Other than that I just crank my indoor treadmill as steep as possible.

    Good morning UGM

    Morning! Hope you all have a nice weekend. Went for a 4 mile brisk walk this morning and watched the sun come up. Starting the day off this way really puts me in a good mood and mindset that lasts all day. Now to decide breakfast.

    Protein Intake 1.6-2.4g/kg

    Haha yep! I can basically eat (though that is arbitrary) how I want with a diet that works for me to put me at 10% or a bit slightly under. Hitting 5-9% has historically very difficult for me. When going that low, I am confident others can relate to this (especially competing bodybuilders) is...

    Protein Intake 1.6-2.4g/kg

    I also typically shoot for 1g protein per pound regardless if on or off. I think keeping protein within this range may be even more beneficial when in a deficit to help minimize muscle loss when restricting calories. Depending on your overall calorie target, having a bit more isn’t going to hurt...

    Intro - Been lifting for over 35 years

    Welcome! Those are some nice numbers as is, regardless of age. You’ll definitely like it here! 😎. Do you consider yourself as primarily a power lifter, bodybuilder, or a combination of both? I’m in my early 40s and consider my style of training to be more heavily towards bodybuilding (higher...

    Training/ fat burn advice

    I’d also echo not getting into “fat burning supplements” and probably gear at this time. From my experience, while cardio is important you may be doing it too often and/or most likely too high of intensity. When burning calories from cardio it will always be a combination of carbs/fats. So if...

    Wrist straps - standard vs. figure 8

    Yep they are awesome and much better than the standard ones I’ve always used. The leather piece that sticks out is just enough where all you need to do is wrap it using your fingers around the barbell/dumbbell. Tight enough to get all my reps in without my grip failing. But also at same time not...

    Late Dinner - Flat Iron Steak and Broccoli

    Just reminded me of the Happy Gilmore movie… “You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?” HAHA Not the same as ass, but close.

    Wrist straps - standard vs. figure 8

    Just got my Versa Pro Grips. Tried them out briefly and they seem to be exactly what I’m looking for. No more struggling to get that second wrap tight by using one hand. Doing both deadlifts and barbell shoulder shrugs shortly, so will see how they really perform when doing heavy/high reps when...

    Wrist straps - standard vs. figure 8

    Yup the main other thing I typically go cheapest is iron weight plates…after all weight is weight. I don’t do Olympic lifts at the moment so no real need for bumpers. However I did splurge a bit since some Rouge deep dish 100s and 45 lb pairs were on sale as they just looked so cool. Aside that...

    Wrist straps - standard vs. figure 8

    Yeah going middle ground is usually what I gravitate to when there are multiple options. There is always that saying “buy once, cry once” though the wraps aren’t crazy pricey.

    Wrist straps - standard vs. figure 8

    Any significant difference between the Versa Grip sub types? Regular, Pro, Extreme…or is it more of a way to get more of your money? Don’t use them too often (usually just for heavy high reps shoulder shrugs and higher rep deadlifts) so thinking the standard would be fine and a nice improvement...

    Late Dinner - Flat Iron Steak and Broccoli

    Wouldn’t really consider myself an amazing cook so “masterpiece” status is in the eye of the beholder. Haha
