(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't believe in weight loss as a fitness goal. That being said, I've lost 15 pounds in three weeks, and thought that was impressive.

I'm actually trying to gain muscle.

Same here. But I went on a premature cutting phase because I'm going to the beach in a week.

Cut me some slack. This was my 3rd set. I can do at least 12.

I can't remember who all likes to participate in these. Other than @Balrog0 and something like Pow Pow Punishment? His name isn't coming up on the tag list.

Sometimes I comment but mostly about running. Just got back from 6.5 miles. Now chilling on my balcony with some coffee and my cat

Congrats on the weight loss

Thanks for making these when they purge. I find them useful as at least some kind of blog.

Week in review:
Diet went great. Down 12 lbs in 2 weeks. Puts me at 205. For a bit the loss was at an alarming rate but that was because I ran out of creatine. It seems to have leveled out. I usually do a 6 week cut but I'll reevaluate after I hit 200lbs and try to take it week by week from there.

Lifts went great. Switched bent over rows to alternating sumo rows where I put my other arm on my knee as support. I got it from an athleanX video and it should stop me from hurting myself in the future so I'd like to make it permanent. My back is at like 95% so I'm very pleased on that. Db bench I got 90s up for a set of 7 which is a pr. Had to drop the weight down afterwards but still very happy. My technique for getting into position is getting better.

Had a bad brain day today. Was feeling good about the gym and stuff and then caught a photo of myself from behind and thought I looked terrible and old.

Just gotta keep at it. Slow and steady progress.

I'm not good at keeping up with these, but I'll join in.

Been lightly cutting down for a couple of months. Working on getting squats back to a reasonable level. Can't get too crazy though because too much of a change and I either end up with knee, low back, or both pain.

I'm still pondering when exactly I want to start attempting more dumbbell bench/incline with the 105s; I've never done it on incline.
