Great work in here, Brian, that’s a sick OHP.
I also think its wise to avoid getting stabbed, even during non-holiday seasons.
288 lbs, I have now embraced weight loss and subsequently it will slow down.

I have been awfully busy eating and sleeping lately, and still I lose weight, apparently my previous diets (cardio, reduced calories) should have been replaced with egg nog and 2 naps a day.

Lol…that is my kind of diet!
You bench looks great. I am happy to squeeze out 365x1. I have to include deads in that as well.
As for the screw/bolt showing. Maybe most the the weight you lost was from the knees down 
And, dammit, you’re lighter than me now.
Strick,
My doctor doesn’t share your enthusiasm for my diet, but all I need is one person to validate my bad choices, so thank you.
As for being lighter than you I am sure it is a temporary condition, I probably did cardio a month ago and my body is just responding to it now, I will be 320 again in February.
I have been terrible about training for the past 2 weeks so I am attempting to rededicate myself today, because it is Monday and I have nothing else going on plus on the 15th I am supposed to get crushed at a meet.
CG Bench- W/Ups- 275x5, 315x3, 335x3, 355x3x3, 225x18 (wanted 20, let myself down as usual)
Narrow Deads- W/Ups- 365x5 405x3 425x3 475x3 525x2 (PR) 545x2 (slloooowww PR found I am much stronger narrow stance)
Good Mornings- W/Ups- 185x8 205x8 225x6x6
Dips- 22, 16, 14
DBell Curls- 70’sx8 80’s x8x6

Workout felt great, weighed 289 (knew that would happen) and was relatively pleased with the outcome overall. I need to find a way to get my chest stronger, after looking at my CG bench I realize that there isn’t much of a difference between my CG and “competition” style, I figure maybe 80 lbs tops, any ideas would be appreciated.
Good work in here. I can’t help you with the bench, but I can help validate shitty diet choices. I’m a big fan of ice cream and most foods loaded with simple sugars.
I am just amazed at the amount of weight being thrown around here.
Awesome.
Good luck with the diet!
How tall are you?
Steely,
I am 5’11" (and a half), my wife says that with my short arms and legs, long torso and big head I remind her of an XL oompa loompa, I think she means it in a nice way.

Strong lifts man. Coming from fellow fat man you gotta love looseing weight when you are not trying.
Had some injury and health issues, wasted a month of my life and had to drrraaaaagggg myself to the gym today, I realized that I was happiest and strongest when I just went to the gym and lifted with an eye towards doing something or anything better than the last time out so I decided to write my workout down AFTER I did it instead of planning it out before:
Mon 1/31/11
Barbell Complex x8 x6 reps 4 minute break (bar doesn’t hit the floor until complex is done)
135lbs- BBell Row-Hang Clean-Front Squat-Military Press-Back Squat-Good Mornings
First set was hard 2nd was a nightmare
Bench Press- W/ups- 350x5 (paused) 360x5 (paused) 370x5 (paused) 225x20
Dips 15,15
Hammer DBell Curls- 60’sx8 70’sx8 75’sx6
Felt nice to be bac,k in the gym, all of my nagging injuries (chest, elbow, neck etc) seemed to be under control, my nearly 4 week battle with Bronchitis and 2 sinus infections is over and my weight is back to a nice meaty 306. All in all it felt nice to be back, in the gym.
Glad you are back and healthy as well.
Barbell complexes. Ouchie.
KP,
Thanks for the welcome back
Tuesday 2/1/11
Barbell Complex x8 x6 x4 reps 4 minute break
115lbs- BBell Row-Hang Clean-Front Squat-Military Press-Back Squat-Good Mornings
I did the complexes again, added 1 set of 4 and dropped the wight by 20 lbs, it really warmed me up and got the heart rate going (although in all honesty walking up 5-6 stairs gets my heart rate up at the moment).
DBell Step-Ups-50’s x 20x16
Walking DBell Lunges- 50’s x 3 minutes x2 (No idea how many steps, just lunged around the gym for 3 minutes at a clip, it was harder than it sounds)
Burpees- 20,20
I figured this was enough since A). I was very tired and B). See A
