Did a weigh in this morning. Last time (1/19) I came in at 290 (which I thought was high) and 16.8% BF. As of this morning, rang in at 278 (after having the scale calibrated, so I feel pretty good about that number) and 16.2%BF. I was hoping to see 16.5%, so this is a great result for me.
Next up, leg day.

Leg Day...Yummy!
After a good weigh in, I was pretty fired up, and had a great w/o...
Squats - 275 x 17
SLD - 225 x 13 (up 40lbs)
Leg Press - 630 x 13 (up 90lbs)
Extends - 140 x 12
Curls - 170 x 12 (up 10lbs)
Calf raises - 130 x 20
Crunch machine - 110 x 12 (up 10lbs)
Knee raises x 10 (new)
I thought I would be able to do more on the knee raises, but I was completely gassed at that point and was happy to still be on my feet. WOOHOO!!!

Looks like having the flu didn't slow you down a bit! Nice work, and congrats on the wt. loss!

I think the flu actually helped, since I gave my body some time to rest. Feels great now though! Originally Posted by Kimber

Maybe I missed it, but did you post your diet? I am interested to see how it looks like.

Are you kidding? I have nights where I am trying to choke the food down. If I don't watch, I end up with 800-900 calories to take in after 5pm. And let me tell you, 5 cups of frozen veg (about 1 bag) doesn't pack more than 150 or so. I eat a lot of grilled chicken, just because it has decent calorie content and I get tired of fish easy. For variety, I will mix up FF SF pudding with the low carb milk and put it down around 8-9pm. It's a decent way to end the day, and keeps my sweet tooth at bay. Originally Posted by Yunier

I'm not great about taking everything each day, but I do my best. I just started on the Ripped Fuel about a week ago, so I don't think it's made much difference yet."The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.

Thanks. I usually feel like I could do more on squats, but when I am sucking wind and can't get myself to go all the way down, I figure that's a good place to stop before I get into trouble. Originally Posted by JerseyDevil

Only one thing worse than cardio day...cardio day after leg day...when you are in Alabama.
Traveling for work, got in my cardio between my meeting and dinner meeting. I am going to have to get to the gym at 5:30am to get in my workout tomorrow, but I have a feeling I will be more alert and prepared than anyone else at the table come 8am!

Pylon,
I dont know how busy your schedule is but why dont you:
- Do cardio before doing your legs
- Do cardio in the morning and lift in the afternoon
I know how sore your legs can get the day after squating. I personally could never walk the day after squating let alone doing cardio. But if it works do it.

Well bro, I hope that you don't fall down during a meeting and look ridiculous like I at my house the other day. At least only my baby saw me. You have meetings with people that will remember you falling and will make fun. I know I would
Have a great night bud...

No no. I don't do cardio and weights on the same day. Yesterday was legs, cardio today. That way they are good and sore. An hour or two after cardio, they feel like lead. Good times, good times.... Originally Posted by Yunier

I plan on showing up first and sitting quietly until the others arrive, always waiting until someone else is getting coffee to ask for some, and telling them I have some calls to make, so they should leave without me. That should take care of it, right? Originally Posted by fantasma62

OK, if anyone reads this who has NOT seen Supersize Me, turn off your computer and go to the video store. Rent it or buy it, go back home, watch it. Pay attention. You will no longer have a desire to eat the crap fast food places serve, and you just may end up very angry. If you have children, you may find yourself at the next school board meeting demanding to speak about phys. ed classes and school lunches.
Amazing stuff. And we wonder why our country is so screwed up...

OK, I'm officially unhappy.
The gym I had mapped out sounded like a decent place. I am up at 5am to head over and w/o. Then I realized my meeting was pushed back to 7am, and the gym is 20 miles away. No way to get there, w/o, and get back in time.
I will have to lift tomorrow at home, I guess."The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority." - R. W. Sockman

It's funny you say that about supersize me...The only thing that I ever eat at McDonalds is the grilled chicken sandwich (plain). I can't eat burgers, fries or anything like that, and I haven't touched a Soda since 2001 Originally Posted by Pylon

Hey Brother, it just wasn't meant to be. Go home and HIT it there
Just like Tony said, you'll feel more comfortable anyway.
