I use PB2 in my version to save 280 calories and a boatload of fat, a little more expensive but I'm still eating in deficit so it's worth it. Since I added the shake my life has been so much easier, easier to count calories and macros and I'm getting more carbs so the energy level has been stable throughout the week.

Have you thought about adding a casein drink right before bed? That was one thing my friend did when he had gotten up to 175. He started at like 118 too. He's at 162 now, cuz he has two kids so he can't really work out as often or eat like he used to.

Honestly, pretty glad I'm coming from the other direction, even tho I have to worry about shit like my nipples ending up in the right spot lol

PB2 goes in my bulking shake as well. I've got a huge sweet tooth and pb is my favorite. In shake form it makes no discernable difference to me whether it's traditional pb or powder.

Do you carry a lot of water weight naturally? I can usually shed around 8 lbs in a weekend and it's majority water weight. Then I go to losing like 1lb or 2 a week after that. You're a much bigger guy than me so I can see you carrying more. I can definitely say you're disciplined af though.

If I'm on a deload week during a bulk, should I still eat as many calories? Should I eat fewer this week because I'm not lifting as heavy or as much?

You'll use those extra calories to better recover. From what you've posted, your diet isn't full of garbage so you should be good. Worst case scenario, you put on a tiny bit of fat along with muscle. You can undo that pretty quickly. It's just a week, but obviously don't go nuts.

Realized on Friday that I completely forgot to lift on Wednesday, so I made sure to get a really great workout in. Was sore af all day today on top of food poisoning. I feel like death.

More like 1700 but yeah it wasn't a great day. I probably ended up at around 2,300 cals for the day after eating a few more eggs and some nuts and yogurt

I'm a big fan of eggs too, but how many are you eating a day? I can only handle like 4.

I believe I accidentally slipped into keto and am currently under the bad effects of that. Currently weighing whether I should just commit to this or like eat some carbs and feel better.

Me too, then I remembered motivation is bullshit and the world keeps on turning whether I'm in a good mood or not. What gives me the right to stop? Motivation is fleeting, there is only discipline.

This is my mentality on that too, but less inspiring and more "Im stuck in a routine and too lazy to change"

I see better gains and fewer injuries when I focus on higher volume stuff. Im inching up on 40 and I injure myself much easier than in the past. When work was shut down I was just throwing as much as i could into my routine. They lasted around 3 hours if I was doing 3x a week. 2 hrs when I did it everyday. I do a minute between sets and 2 between exercises. It's actually closer to 1.5 and 2.5 though. I start to get into position at the minute mark.

I'm not throwing around big boy numbers though. I've managed to get up to be a solid intermediate level lifter but with my routine I doubt that I'll ever move beyond that. At this point I'm addressing looks more than strength anyway.

Anyway, back at work full time this week. Started my abbreviated workouts with few accessories. Feels weird.

Didn't do great on my first week of cutting. Usually, I can flush out double digits of water weight and that kick starts me into continuing at a regular pace. Im 2 lbs down though, which considering my diet was bad is better than nothing. Should be a much less hectic week for me so hopefully I'll not stress eat. Id do even better if it wasn't so hot and muggy.

Polio is an actual example. It used to be an oral dosage but it had a low chance of your body not being able to fight it off and folks contracting polio. The injection doesn't have that chance because it goes through different systems in your body.

Ugh, I have to help a friend move today. It's going to count as today's workout but I'm definitely not looking forward to this. I have to move a fucking piano somehow.

It's a much heavier game than the first one. I couldn't play it for more than an hour or so at a time. It's too emotionally draining. The gameplay is really fantastic in some parts though. Glad to see the improvements there.

Not looking forward to next week. Im starting a cut partially because I could use a small one, but mostly for solidarity with my fiance. Also, I go back to work tomorrow for the first time in months. This will impede my current long af workouts from continuing. I'll have to cut out a large portion of accessory work most likely.

Absolutely loved those games. I had them for both the Sega CD and PS1.

I was a huge fan of the games that WD brought over. I think Dragon Force was my most played. I loved that game so much. Did a playthrough of every kingdom.

I never finish these types of games, but I really enjoyed what I played. It's pretty grounded which was nice. Also it's nice to play an MC in a game like this with some kind of personality. Like you get to choose a lot of his actions, but Henry isn't just a blank slate.

Boss fight videos show the umbrella being incredibly useful. Unfortunately, I never really learned how to use it but I've seen folks use it to trivialize quite a few bosses.

Also, you fought Great Ape the same way I did. I dont think that's how you're intended to do it but it works well enough. I could never get the timing right on the parries.

Deadlift, bent over row, reverse fly, planks, kettlebell swing. Those are the moves that eliminated my lower back pain in less than a month.

Wanted to throw supermans on this list. They got me to the point where a momentary lapse in form doing some of those other exercises didn't knock me out of the game for a bit.

Went to a real gym today for the first time in forever. My niece wanted a workout uncle bro so she dragged me along. She's a state champ wrestler so we actually aren't too far apart on quite a few lifts. I had a blast but the workout itself wasn't great. For whatever reason it was fairly warm in the gym and that saps my strength pretty quickly.

I managed to get in and do regular bench press because I can't do that at home. Got 250x10 for three sets up without a ton of trouble. Im sure i cheated some on my last few reps though. Still, last time I was in a gym which was almost a year ago that was my one rep max. Im happy that I have a base number to calculate strength level though. Dumbell press at home doesn't scale properly.

If youre super patient you can actually play similar to DS. It's slow though. Like that boss of the in the past area can be beaten by running around and getting in single shots after certain attacks. Some of the larger bosses are easier to fight that way imo. Most human sized bosses are easier to go the poise route which plays kind of like a rhythm game.

White dude is lucky that bro can't fight because that could have been worse

Honestly, for someone clearly untrained he's not terrible. Hes got a fairly good sense of range. He moves okay. He's actually throwing punches as opposed to the white dude who's flailing around like king kong.

White dude wouldve had a much better chance if he just went with most people's tactic of eating a few punches to go in for a grapple.

What she is so hot.

And the way she says Miami is to die for.

I hated that show when I saw it the first time on TV just because the narration was so annoying and I didn't find the writing clever, but started it again and it's actually really awesome how they get into all the tradecraft.

Stopped watching through part of Season 3 because I got tired of all the episodes being "I owe this guy money" or "This person is threatening my kid".

The narration is actually one of my favorite parts of the show.

I also tended to fall in and out of the show due to the repetitive nature of it. Besides a few minor shake ups in later seasons it's like that for the entire ride. All USA shows at that time suffered from that.
