Have you ever considered getting checked for mild IBS or looking at a low-FODMAP method of eating?

Iām not talking about inability to digest: Iām talking about how much food Iām eating all the goddamn time to support this training, haha. Itās honestly been one of the best things ever to keep me from going āoff menuā: when youāre full of beef, eggs, avocado, venison, chicken, veggies and nut butters, the cupcakes pass right by you as you go āno more food!ā

What kind of air fryer do you have?
A good friend (someone Iāve eaten with enough to trust to know good food from bad) was raving about all the things she can do with hers (āeverything!ā). I have one one of my kids bought us for Christmas last year, andā¦meh.
Wondering what Iād have to do to enjoy the thing. This one is great for making a large familyās worth of wings, but otherwise not much quicker than the regular oven.
My wife got me the Ninja 5-in-1 for my birthday
So along with air frying it does all sorts of cool stuff, and Iām just a sucker for plug in kitchen gadgets. Iāve said before that, were I a bachelor, I wouldnāt even have a real kitchen: just these toys, haha.

I responded too initially but gave up when I saw the type of responses. It is often hard to balance the willingness to share and help others find their right path and the feeling that some people are just too hard to help. I think it speaks volumes that you still help and share at all my friend.

@cyclonengineer Dude is locked in for sure. I tried extending the olive branch and moving on and it wasnāt happening. Makes it a bit easier to know it wasnāt something on my end.
@simo74 Summed up excellently. Hurts me to see such wasted potential, but itās out of my hands.
PM WORKOUT (1500)
10 rounds of Dan Johnās āArmorā complex, with 5 reps of some sort of daily work between rounds. Didnāt time it, but it got my heart beating.
My legs are stupid sore. Would be nice to take the prowler out sometime, but it doesnāt look in the cards with company present.

Slept until 0717 and got in fasted tabata burpees over bar. Awesome start to the weekend.
Edit: Totally forgot to mention that the wife and I got our 3rd stripes in Tang Soo Do this week. We test for our new belts on 11 Dec. We are crushing this.

PM WORKOUT (1300)
2 mile 80lb weighted vest walk with dog
Then got in an hour of podcast with @ChongLordUno and Joe. Was way too awesome talking with you gents, and Iām hoping it all got captured. Looking forward to the end product.
Had to immediately get in the road, because I bought myself a new (to me) toy
In turn, I got in my daily work rapidly and included 20 GHRs. Iām excited to have them back in the rotation. Still trying to figure out my set-up on the new rig, but itās going to be awesome.

@ChongLordUno Had way too much fun talking with you dudes. Coulda gone on for hours.
More tabata burpees over bar fasted to start off the morning after sleeping in. Ideally will get in some more conditioning on top of that. Family is leaving town today, so back to the schedule after that.

Same here brother. It was mindblowing for me and Joe. I canāt wait to unleash the podcast on here man
You must have lit a fire up Joeās ass because he went straight out and repped 500 navy seals right after we finished

@ChongLordUno Man thatās fantastic. I saw you crushed 500 as well. I got in my 500 burpees before leaving my hotel room: between us Iām sure weāre generating enough energy to power Vegas, haha.
@dagill2 We can always come up with an excuse if we try hard enough! Haha. The only let down is this means, if I ever run Mass Made Simple, Iām gonna have to up the doseā¦
Yesterday was crazy, but I managed to get in a 2 mile 80lb weighted vest walk with the dog on top of those morning burpees. Now for this morning.

SECOND BREAKFAST (protein shake AND Christmas Crunch, 'tis the season)
CONDITIONING
62 barbell thrusters w/115lbs in 10 minutes
Notes: Hereās how the workout broken down. Started off with giant sets of Squats-chin-press. Did that until I ran out of chins, then it was squat-pull apart-press until I ran out of squats (minus the widowmaker: saved that for the end), then press and neck harness. Once that was down, I did my shrugs in one big set, took a 2 minute rest and hit that widowmaker. After that, finished up the daily work, had some post workout nutrition, and came back for conditioning. My elbows were aching, so I stayed away from doing a lot of cleans and went with the thrusters. Idea was 75 or 10 minutes: whichever came first. It was a decent burn, especially after burying myself on those squats. If I can, Iāll get in some more vest walks today, or just a regular walk.
Really seeing some positives from my nutrition. Iāve been able to sleep in on the weekends again, aggression is up, and Iām feeling more and more āmeā again. I think the lesson Iām learning is that beef and eggs NEED to stay in the diet, no matter what. When fat loss comes, Iāll trim away from other sources.

That new toy will likely make you even more unbreakable.

I think it would be instructive to show videos like that to posters who arenāt clear why they arenāt making progress. Videos like that make it very clear to me what the āmissing elementā might be.
