Half cup (sometimes 2/3 cup) of oatmeal and a couple tablespoons of peanut butter always gives me plenty of energy for my workouts.

I always try to eat at least an hour beforehand though.

This is the part I'm struggling with I'm up around 5:15 and by 5:35-5:40 I've started my workout. I'm worried about cramping up. I'll try the oatmeal though. Maybe just a little bit will do the trick.

That's cool. We all have different goals, and you obiously did good in losing the weight.

Damn daylight savings. I was up, dressed and in the car before I noticed that I overslept by an hour and had to just shower at the gym and go back home. Arrrgghhhh!!!!

I'm behind today too.

At least it wont be dark at 5 pm anymore though.

thanks, but I am trying to gain the weight back (only, hopefully muscle instead of fat this time). My goal is to be between 170lbs and 180lbs with 9-11% bodyfat. Will take a while, but I just have to keep going

Don't worry about the numbers so much as long as your bmi is fine, focus on how you look in the mirror.

Looking bloated, not sure why. I only gained .4lb last week, but I feel like I look a lot less muscular:( I don't know if I'm just thinking that, as my measurements have been pretty steady through all of this

I'm going to be honest with you, if you're going to be a dick in this topic just move on and post else where. This is the second time in as many days that you have been rude to the regulars in the thread. We have all been on this journey together; we've been here to help each other and don't need the sarcasm.

Edit: and idk if you are just choosing terrible emotions and it is coming across as sarcasm. In that case just change those lol

Not sure if your responding to me, but I never meant any offense. Maybe I should stop using the smileys, I think they're giving the wrong impression. I've been completely serious. I really don't know what what is coming off as sarcastic, but I'll remove the smileys and leave if it's really a problem. Really, I'm not trying to be rude at all, it's just coming across wrong

Ya that's what I figured after re-reading everything. I didn't mean to sound too harsh we have just had some rude people make their way in and out of the thread lol. It was definitely the smilies.

I'll be sure to lay off them then. I just have a tendency to use them to much when I can't decide what punctuation I should end with (a period feels weird sometimes). No hard feelings(:

Pulled 365 on deadlifts today

Why are your shoes off?

I'm pretty sure that would destroy my back!

Looking bigger!

Dat 365 is awesome. Hitting that 4 plate on each side is in your reach!

On my way down to 165lbs from 178lbs. Then go back up a few pounds before my tournament in June.

Like the link above, it's best shoeless

Also deadlifts are primarily a hamstring exercise, your back should be fine with proper form

What are you shooting for on your 1rm? I hope to hit 405 by mid summer. Starting my cut tomorrow to lose 20 pounds so its gonna be pretty tough not eating as much n

I did curls with the straight bar this morning and the girl standing next to me was doing the exact same exercise but 40lbs. heavier (the weights, not her). I think she was laughing at me. Damn whippersnappers.

Dang, 40lbs! How ridiculously huge was she, I don't know a lot of girls that could do 40lbs to start, let alone added onto whatever your doing

Twelve days in, four pounds down. Wanna just stop some days but been true to my diet. Intake lowered to around 1200-1300 calories of food. That fifteen pounds by May seems in sight now!
