Good luck man. Last week I had an emotional eating night (thought about my divorce and got upset for the first time in about a month), so I wanted to eat spaghetti. It was bad. I ate the entire 12oz. box. I didn't put sauce on it, since I love my pasta with just olive oil and parmesan cheese. The pasta I bought was some healthier pasta w/ 2.5x the fiber of regular pasta. So a whole box is like 6 servings or something. Anyway, so the point of my story is that the whole night I pooped every 20 minutes. Not diarrhea, but still had to go. I think I cleaned out my system, lol. I guess it had a prune juice effect. The next morning is when I woke up at a slim 193 lbs...lol. I was shocked. I lost weight after eating a whole box of pasta and pooping. Anyway, it was back on my diet the next day. Just wanted to share incase you want a pasta cheat night and experience weight loss...lol. YMMV, of course...

Holy cow this stuff wrecks your insides. I feel like I have midgets running up and down my intestines. Two decent sized poops thus far. I'm bloated and have a giant beer gut.

Your way sounded much more enjoyable mek

All I can picture is Captain Ahab...THAR SHE BLOWS!!!!!!

That's exactly how I feel. It's full force right now holy cow. This is like giving yourself the flu on purpose. What was I thinking!

Edit: I'm pooping straight liquid now. I didn't realize how powerful prune juice was, but my entire bag of carrots I ate this morning (4 8 inch ones or however long the normal big ones are) how now exited my body. This better end by 5 or 6 so I can get my leg lift in Lol

Edit #2: what I thought was straight liquid before was not straight liquid. What I am doing right now is. I am scared to leave the toilet. I'm no longer bloated though =\

I've had about a half hour break from butt pissing. At least I know everything is cleaned out...for now.

Hahahah...I hope you have enough tp there. And it's soft triple-ply.

You made me remember the old Colon Blow commercial from SNL. I wish NBC didn't keep SNL clips off youtube. Oh well here's a Hulu link

Might want to send out an S.O.S. for someone to bring you some lotioned T.P.

Good luck sir—and godspeed you fearless hero.

I have ok go's song here it goes again stuck in my head if you know what I mean

Just make sure you're drinking water! As funny as it sounds, you can absolutely clean yourself out and make yourself dehydrated.

Dammit. I'm up 1.5 lbs this week. I'm really off my game. I didn't miss a workout but I've been eating like shit. I had 3 ice cream sandwiches for dinner on Wednesday at 2 a.m. when I got home from work. 2 more last night with a granola bar when I got home at 10 p.m. I can't get into a diet routine with the ridiculous hours I've been keeping. Sleep is way off too - I was moving in slow motion at the gym this morning. I'm so annoyed.

The draft is what killed me last night...I hooked up the deep frier and had some french fries. And then my wife walked in the door around 9:00 pm with a pizza so I had a slice of that (extra cheese). Washed it all down with a bag of thin pretzels...I have the eaters remorse!

Oh, and just now I had a Philly Soft Pretzel.

Congrats man! Time to eat indeed. Lumpia and Pancit... mmmmm....

Thanks Javery. I know that your expecting soon too. I'll try to get back on my diet when I go back to work in a week. In survival mode right now. I did make my first goal of 20 lbs lost before she was born.

I'm guessing from scraping the bar on his leg during deadlifts. Happens from time to time. A lot of guys wear high socks to help prevent.

Yup, I usually wear pants on deadlift days but mine were in the wash.

Bleeding legs means you are doing it right.

Pants in the gym!? How will you show off dem legs?


Didn't know there was this kind of thread in here. 4 years ago I was a gym nut that had only one goal, get big. At the same time I thought drinking and eating a lot would not affect me. I was an idiot @ 235lbs (5'11''), but now I am at the good weight of 173lbs.

Things need to be a routine. For something to be a routine, you need to do it consistently for 3 months. From there it becomes easy, however you have to get there first.

My first contribution: Increasing your Pull-up count Pull ups is all about that total hang time. Most people that lift should have the strength to do 20 pull ups no problem, however their arms and back lack the endurance to currently do so. Ways to increase your pull up count: 1. Total time hangs: Pull yourself up to the top of the pull up bar and hold yourself up there for 20 seconds. Once you hit that 20 seconds lower yourself as slow as you can to a dead hang (roughly 5 seconds if you can). Rest 2 minutes (seriously 2 minutes?!) because you are gonna need to be fresh to do 20 more seconds for a total of 4 reps. Do this 2-3 times a week for 3 weeks (2 weeks if you already hitting 15 pull ups no problem). 2. Total amount of pull ups: Doesn't matter how many you do per set, just set a goal. For my lifting days on back I shoot for 60-80 total pull ups, with my first set being 25+. I usually get to 50-60 in 4 sets and just randomly do two pull ups in between other lifts to knock out the rest. The last 10 or so pull ups should be hard enough that you are cheating to get your body up there. That is okay, as long as you are passing up your set goal. 3. The Perfect 5: First, buy a pull up bar for your room (needs to have straight and wide grip attachments). The perfect 5 is your cleanest 5 pull ups that you can possible do and slow as possible. Start from a pure dead hang and try for 5-8 seconds for one pull up, and try to do all 5 pull ups as close as you can to 1 minute. If 5 pull ups is easy, do 10. 4. Just ing do it: And there is just the fact you need to just do it. I constantly talk about pull ups because of how simple and non-weight lifting it is. What's the lift? Pull your body some odd 2 feet higher using just your body weight. Majority of people can barely do one and seasoned lifters can barely do 10. I was one of those people seasoned lifters that could barely do 10 pull ups. I was like "WTF? I'm 220+lbs deadlifting 405lbs, why can't I do 20 pull ups?" When I went on my weight loss phase to drop to my natural 170lbs I told myself that I need to do 20 pull ups no problem, because if I can't lift my body up 2 feet with my arms, then what is the point of all the rest of the lifting that I have been doing was my general thought. So what is the benefits of being able to do 20+ pull ups? Well for one I can do 2-4 one arm pull ups, chicks love that (not really but it is damn impressive). Your back will be chiseled up (yah that muscle up by the traps, you'll have those popping out). You'll create those "wings" that everyone wants from their back, also makes your waist look smaller, even if it is not. It will also reinforce all of your lifts. Stronger back= stronger arms, stronger back= better squat form, stronger back= even stronger back, stronger back= flatter front (really? not sure, but I think if you can get 20 pull ups, then your stomach will be relatively flat. It's j-cart theory, prove me right or wrong). Also if you have no access to a gym, then all out pull up bar. Just look at those olympic gymnasts, you think those guys got there just by lifting? Granted they are freaks, but if we can be half the freaks (or more) that they are, then imagine what kind of freak you'll be if you can 20 pull ups.

One thing squats has given me is dem thighs, especially to the sides of my knee caps on the inside of my legs. Who knew there was muscle there

Your post inspired me to want a pullup bar for my place. I can put it in the storage area above the door. I'll have to get one today.
