Sup FUCKOS.. Took a day off yesterday and I am going to get back and crush legs today.. Eating like a vacuum and still waking around 189 so I am looking a lot better.. My muscles are fuller for sure and my bodyfat hasnt changed give or take one pound.. Squats are on the menu today boys..

I am interested in competitive arm wrestling so have been crushing forearms everyday doing rising, pronation, and supination exercises. As well as wrist and reverse wrist curls with dumbbells. Making big forearm improvements on a weekly basis right now. Hammer Curling the 60s also helps.

WE ARE ALL GONNA MAKE IT
 
Well, August has passed.
Out of the things I've said I will work on:
- I've improved my stamina a little bit, either that or my breathing improved, I've been working on that as well
- I've made progress with the 1990's (resolution is shit and stuff is censored to avoid potential doXXXXXXing but I think you can see the important part):
I want 5 rotations before I'll be happy but 1,5 is better than zero :)

That's pretty damn impressive

I've been kind of slacking on cardio, so my goal is to do 15-20 minutes (or more) of cardio every time I am at the gym for September

Yo, that's pretty cool. Well done!
 
I did a body composition test again and dropped 7% body fat in 90 days and am close to as strong as I was during my peak at the big 3. I weigh the same (216 lbs) as I did at the beginning and am hovering around 16% body fat.

Hope to break 1200 lbs total on powerlifing by December and drop down to 10% body fat by the end of the year. Keep lifting nerds.

Edit: I couldn't sleep and lift early so I went to the gym at 2am for bench day. Didn't feel great, but better than not getting it in at all.

Not to divulge too much but I've been training for a fitness test and yesterday, I hit all of my targets with flying colours before throwing up in my garden. I'll keep you updated on if I can do it again tomorrow without vomiting.

Tomorrow, I have my test mentioned in the post above and I just got out of the gym. I managed to hit all my targets again but this was the first time I was able to do it on my own without a family member or instructor watching me. I’m confident that I can do it on my own, it’s all about determination (or maybe I just wanted to impress the afro runner that gives me advice sometimes.)

I guess I’ll post again tomorrow after the exam.
 
Ever since I moved out of my family's home cross-country I got myself a Planet Fitness membership for like $10 a month. However- despite not being able to go very often I'm still losing weight by not eating processed foods and shifting things to plant-based and liquid-based calories. I eventually want to ween myself off meat consumption, but IDK how to go about doing that if I want to make gains. I still have a huge gunt and need to burn fat- but it's fun to theorize and plan for success.
 
Had three solid days of cardio this fall break (college kid things). Taking a break for Columbus.

By the way, intermittent fasting is the easy and fun. Starting to love pushing through a workout whilst I'm still fasting and chowing down afterwards! Black coffee is a rock these rough times.
