Gym selfies, weightlifting & fitness šŸ”„ (TW gym attire. Keep rules #6 and #7 in mind) (Part 1)

Have tried Keto, not carnivore. Iā€™m trying to stay a little more rounded so as not to tax my wife. Sheā€™s the cook and loves to do. And she has no issue with my requests for lean and low carb etc, but she wouldnā€™t wish to be engaged in that.

That is some impressive weight loads my friendā€¦ that was where I was at in late 20ā€™sā€¦ as I move towards 60 those are not anything I could (would) chase any longer.
But congrats on achieving. Not for the faint of heart my friend.

If i had my 20ā€™s back I wouldnā€™t chase the heavy stuff againā€¦ to many nagging injuries. Very impressive numbers though @Zeekinout. Be careful as you age!

I appreciate you thinking Iā€™m 20 lol Iā€™m 33 and itā€™s all about nutrition, rest, and as I get older just keeping active! Even lazy people who donā€™t train and just sit on the couch most their lives get injured! Itā€™s life and I want to reach my full potential! No what ifs later thatā€™ll Iā€™ll regret! My teens and twenties were about drugs and alcohol so I know my body can take a beating that way and recover! Now itā€™s time for sobriety and strength! :muscle:t3::muscle:t3::muscle:t3:

Besides the achy joint pain no matter what I do, the debilitating heartburn every time I eat something semi spicy, and waking up 3 times a night to take a piss. Getting older ainā€™t half bad. :rofl:

I think I may have mentioned that Iā€™m in the nutrition program at my gym. I confessed to my nutrition coach that I secretly still get my sweets in because I canā€™t help it! :rofl: I love my doughnuts! :doughnut: This however is putting a halt to my baby six pack abs. And, in addition to trying to get me to lay off the sweets, my nutrition coach is trying to get me to get my 10K steps in a day to help move things along because the numbers arenā€™t budging. :tired_face: Iā€™m currently sitting at 135lbs. and Iā€™m trying to get anywhere from 125 - 130lbs. What has everyone done when theyā€™ve plateaued?

Keep your metabolism off guard, eat at deficit most days and at surplus once every week or two. That doesnā€™t mean eat whatever, just eat a little more. Hit protein goals. I also suggest going by how close fit and not the scale, trading fat for muscle can make that scale sit still (not to mention how much weight the body can fluctuate in any given day). Keep after it, youā€™re doing great :+1:

For the most part, I do well a majority of the week. I have my lean protein, veggies, 1/4 of a sweet potato, and now incorporated a side of leafy greens w/lime juice & pieces of avocado. I think whatā€™s killing me is the snacking. I canā€™t help it then I reach for the sweetsā€¦ doughnuts, chocolate, chipsā€¦ :drooling_face: I usually have two cheat meals a week and itā€™s mainly a burger with fries or Mexican food. I feel like Iā€™m partially disciplined but really need to hone in on it.

Interesting method, Iā€™m going to try this! My coach does have me on a calorie deficit. I just have to cut out the sweets to avoid surpassing it! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: A lot of clothes that didnā€™t fit me now do though. The abs arenā€™t peaking out yet. Iā€™m just aiming for little baby ones. :pinching_hand:t3::joy:
