Thread: Curt James' training journal

Heading out for meal 5 and then to the gym for chest and triceps.

So, was it Salmon, Swordfish or Red Meat?....with your peanut butter.

^Red meat, no pb, side salad, no dressing, water.

Short workout, so I chose to get my twenty on the treadmill first.

Treadmill 3.5 incline 3.5 speed X 20 minutes

Incline DB benches 3 sets of 8-10

Tried the 65's again and couldn't do one. Bah! Dropped to 55's for my sets.

55's X 6, 6, 6

Jumped from the incline bench immediately to the dip machine and then left the gym just before closing.

Dip machine 3 sets of 8-10
110 X 12

Oh Snap! Look at you getting all serious and stuff!

So, you're just weighing in once a week? Not a terrible idea....people tend to get waaay to obsessed with the scale. Besides, Curt, I still don't see you as having to be worried about becoming morbidly obese....your a pretty lean Dude.

This applies to most moments, imo.

Wiiiiiiide hips. I need to reduce. Trust me.

And the keto or my weight loss efforts (in the event I'm nowhere near ketosis) seems to be working slightly. I got into a pair of dress slacks this morning that would have been a no go just a few weeks ago.

Plus a woman at work offered "That's no white boy's booty." While not so encouraging from a weight loss perspective, I'm calling it a compliment all the same.

Thank you.

I'm 6'1" but can get by with a 32 inseam, so I believe there's a good amount of leverage working on my side. Had a pause at the top on the extensions and hit the back of my legs with the pad on nearly all of the curls.

I did skip meal 6 yesterday, but pursued no theatrics this morning prior to stepping on the scales.

Okay, I did step on it twice. The first reading was 190.8 lbs.

In other news do you say scale or scales when referring to ye olde weight calculator?

1.) Stepping on the scale twice is perfectly normal behavior...just validating the reading.
2.) Calibrating the scale is also acceptable...equipment inspection.

However, skipping meals, frequent/forced urination and spitting into pyrex....please see image below...

....do you say scale or scales when referring to ye olde weight calculator?

I believe it is "scale" if you are 30%BF or less, and "scales" if you're waiting for your turn behind the eighteen wheeler.

Did you missed the "that's no white boy's booty" post?

Hey, I said no theatrics (spitting into pyrex, clipping fingernails, waiting two hours until bowels moved...) and I've NEVER had to force urination. That's a frequent event with absolutely no prompting. Not age related either as I've always been one to know the location of all public restrooms within 5 miles of wherever I happen to be.

And with six meals in my arsenal I don't feel guilty at all about skipping one. Plus my fifth meal was after 10 p.m., had my egg whites then.

BUT I'M NOT DEFENSIVE!

For women it's possibly sexual harassment, but for men it's Positive Reinforcement™.

well, I meant "narrow" in the very general sense, as opposed to those poor souls (unlike yourself) who are ACTUALLY FAT.

Well y'know, that whole six-meals-religiously thing has been disputed more and more in the recent past. I still think that evenly spacing meals might help with nutrient assimilation, but I don't think it is an absolute necessity. Either way, I don't see the skipping-meal-six police hunting you down any time soon, lol.

You really should spent less time with Juggie.....his crankiness is wearing off on you.

Smiley awesomeness!

And re the theatrics or OCD tricks, I never said I was averse to cheating!

That's right... averse.

Low energy this workout. Reduced weight, increased pace. Cut sets.

Did increase on pull ups, so I'm not entirely disappointed.

I don't like your diet. May i suggest a lot of BBQ and get fat like the rest of us.

Props for sticking to it man.
