230 this morning which is a sign that I might just lose a few pounds by Saturdays official weigh in. Usually on my Wednesday morning weigh in if I’ve lost weight I’ll be the same or within a pound of my previous weeks weigh in as of late I’ve been 3-4lbs over my official weight and then come Saturday moring I’ve lost nothing. I’ve got my fingers crossed for this week.
Big shipment from Biotest coming today!!! I’m stoaked!

If so hopefully it’ll be just a one week thing. I had that happen early on where I wouldn’t lose anything for a week and then the next I’d lose 5lbs. Don’t worry about it until you plateau for 3 weeks, then it’s time to figure out whats wrong.
Grub for the day:

Last nights work out was great! Did incline again instead of flat bench, I don’t seem to use my shoulders as much as I do with the flat bench.

The push downs I used light weight as to not aggrivate my elbow, I’m pretty sure I have tennis elbow and since it’s not gotten any better I suppose I’ll go to the Dr.
Single straight leg RDL what can I say, doing these one leg at a time is brutal! I really felt my hamstrings pulling on these.

Here is a picture from almost exactly 1 year ago, I was pushing 300lbs, fat bastard, he’s dead to me.
Hey DDay, looking good my man! The grind definitely sucks but is well worth it in the end.
I’m actually going on another fat loss phase. Am I eligible to join your little competition?

Thanks Bartl! You are more than welcome to get into the competition. You just raised this to a new level for me.
Well Blazin, we’re in for it now, we got a pro joining our challenge. Time for some serious work!
Haha oh no… well this will certainly push me the extra mile… if my body can take it…
I put the scale away til June 23rd so I stop focusing on number for a while… lets see what i weigh in at next week.

I’ve found myself getting on the scale a bit to much lately as well. I’m going back to once a week weigh ins.
What do you think of this workout. It’s an old one I got from a college football strength coach, I don’t remember it exactly but here goes.
M-W-F
4X5
Bench
Squat
Military press
Deadlift
All the core lifts, all for strength, it’s an ass kicker. I’m way down on the strength scale anymore, not sure this is the right thing for a guy trying to lose weight but I’m bored with my current workout.
BTW I’m taking this week off from the weights, my elbow is still bothering me and now I’ve jacked up my shoulder some how. A little RNR from the iron, I’m going to do 4 days HIIT running.

Well any swap in a training program will cause a little bit of confusion overall and will blast ur plateaus away… theoretically… My 1 month swap gave me weight loss, but then swapping back ot the old plan I saw gains… maybe thats part of the confusion stage… not really sure…
Any routine will help you lose weight, if you follow that with some light HIIT and add in some activity on your days off you’ll def still shed pounds…
If you’re getting tendonitis(sp?) in your elbow then the only cure is to lay off it and ice it…
Keep your activity levels up and you’ll maintain/continue your loss for sure.
Let’s blast our goals outta the water so fast it makes bartl’s head spin

Hopefully you’re right with the confusion idea, something has to break this platue. I was back at 229 saturday morning and who knows where I am after last nights dinner.
I think a good week of HIIT this week, no weights and a solid diet is just what the Dr. ordered.
Don’t know if you noticed but Bartl has another challenger, that doesn’t mean we still can’t compete against them. Lets bring it to em both!
The rest of my meals today are lame.
5oz chicken
15 almonds
5oz chicken
15 almonds
2 HRX
