@T3hPwnisher @anna_5588 I used to love drinking raw eggs, but apparently their nutrient bioavailability is super low; like half that of cooked eggs. I was pretty bummed.

I used to live in St.Albans which is literally the next town to Hemmel. Small world.
Today marks 20 years from the day I made the decision to get in better shape. I was 14 years old, 176lbs at 5’9 and had not engaged in any real physical training aside from what was required in sports. I am exactly what I hoped to transform myself into on that day. That’s pretty cool.
Also, my legs are still sore from that squat workout. Definitely some magic in it.

I’m genuinely impressed that you had the foresight to record the day you made the decision.

If we’re being honest, you probably didn’t envision still being 5’9"

@mattjp Being the tallest member of my family, it wasn’t really in the calculus. Was just happy to be taller than my dad, haha.
Conditioning was helping a friend move in. Moving events while wearing a mask really sucks. Helping people move always shows me how much I take strength for granted, because things I consider trivial ideas are impossible for a lot of folks. Dude I was helping just plain did not have the necessary grip strength to carry the furniture we needed to move, and had to keep dropping, setting, resetting, regripping, etc. I also just plain hate moving dolleys. They take so much time to set up. I always prefer doing my own moving, because I can do it my way.

A good motivator for me to train is not wanting to be this guy, especially in front of my potential wife and children, when a strong friend comes by.

This was, no joke, what made me start lifting again. I read a comment in a Jason Ferruggia post about being that guy that struggled and failed to do a single bodyweight pull up in front of his family and what kind of message they sent them about how well he could protect and look after them. This was pre-kids and even then, it struck a nerve.

@jshaving and @dagill2 being able to be “the man” is a big deal for sure. I know a lot of women that don’t have much faith in their spouse to keep them safe, and spouses that have expressed to my wife and I how much safer they feel when I am around. It’s not just about what it does for you. Fitness has universal effects.
Have had company over, so training was paused and we had an abundance of food. Made a “leftover microwave stirfry”
Each container has half a teriyaki chicken thigh, some half turkey/half 93% lean grass fed beef zero carb meatloaf, some cooked egg whites, rice cauliflower, and a quarter cup of drinkable egg whites mixed with low carb BBQ sauce. Wanna see how this microwaves before mixing in the greens powder.
Ssb front squats are amazingly painful. Very easy on the shoulders . I seem to feel them in the traps quite a bit. Traps still sore. You experience that? Thanks for the tip! I will keep these for a while.
Awesome news dude. They definitely call my traps in. I imagine keeping everything locked in an upright is a big part of it. Just a solid movement.
Weighed 185.4 this morning, post energy drink and yogurt. This was after 4-5 days of more relaxed eating with family in town. Officially at the 25lbs lost mark. Still no idea how far this will go. Still not hard to lose weight. I feel like my arms are showing some reduction in size, but I also imagine it’s reduction in fluff, because the definition is looking sharper.
