I was on a good streak there. had some considerable gains return and was cutting fat, so I took the last weekend off and had all the fun - donuts, steak dinners, pizza, burgers. yikes lol.
that’s all cool, but then I end up with a lung infection and am totally sidelined in terms of capacity. not getting proper sleep due to coughing has been brutal. hoping to recover. I really need to cut dabs out 😬

Need to loose some weight so right now I am on a military diet plan. If u have not hear about that so the 7-Day Military Diet ( here you can find more info betterme.world/articles/7-day-military-diet-plan/ ) is a strict low-calorie meal plan designed to help people lose weight quickly. It involves following a specific meal plan for 3 days, followed by 4 days of less-restricted eating. The meal plan for the first 3 days includes a combination of low-calorie foods such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. The remaining 4 days of the diet allow for slightly more calories, but still require sticking to a healthy diet. Hope it will help me! |

I’ve came a long way this year. should be in a happy place by mid summer, and then push through to be peak condition by next summer. the grind is on. |

Instead of bumping the old thread, after many start/stops I’m back on DDPY. Just finished week three. First time really putting in much effort since bouncing back from Covid late last year. Changing up the diet and trying to stay consistent between the program, running and hiking.

Anyone here have any experience with barefoot training shoes? I really like the way these look and was thinking about trying out a pair.  |

I've been training and running in barefoot style shoes for 13 years now. I would never, ever, ever go back to a normal shoe. I'll wear Oly shoes for Olympic lifts but that's it. Taking the time to switch to barefoot shoes was one of the best athletic decisions I've made in my entire life. It takes patience but good god was it worth it. Edit: that looks like vivo barefoot? They're my favorite brand. |

They're my favorite brand. What are some of the benefits of it? And do vans count? The benefits are fairly simple in concept --> Having no support or cushion lets your foot move like it was meant to. We basically made all these cushioned and supportive shoes to fix problems that didn't exist prior to people wearing thick cushiony shoes or crazy tight fitting shoes. --> They're generally made to be more foot-shaped. I.e. no tight toe-boxes that cram your feet in and warp them. They have room to move around and splay properly. --> Your feet can get healthier and stronger. My feet have completely changed since I made the switch. I actually have a definable arch in my foot now, my feet "shrunk" because that arch got stronger. My toes can splay out properly running and running feels easy and light in them. The cons --> If you have foot issues, you're in for a looooong process to get converted over. Most people do not have the will to put the time in to make the switch properly. It's not as simple as just throwing out everything with support and wearing these 24/7. It takes a while to rebuild your foot. I don't mean that in a negative way to people who don't either. Just for a lot of people it's not going to be nearly high enough up the priority chain and that's pretty fair. It's like switching to a dvorak keyboard setup. Yes it's better, but for most people qwerty isn't that much of an inconvenience to incentivize them to switch. Regular to barefoot shoes are going to be the same way for al ot of people. They're at "good enough" and that's a-ok. Sports/physical activity have always been a foundational part of my identity and lifestyle, so for me it was a no brainer and I would do it all over again gladly. I can run about 90-120 minutes straight in toe shoes these days (which, is the limit of how long I can run straight period. It's my endurance that ends, not my feet). The first time I ran in them, I made it 5 minutes and then went back to regular shoes for the rest. Gotta start really small and work up. |

very proper chest day today, happy with the progress. just got to continue to keep the alcohol and cheat meals in moderation.
another 3 weeks of getting leaner and then we’ll see how a lean bulk over summer goes.

I appreciate the write up and it makes a lot of sense, thank you. I like the natural way of things too where applicable I’ve tried walking like a mile or so in flat sole shoes (vans) and my feet ache a bit after, you think this is part of the natural process of getting used to being used in the natural manner? (Tho I do think there is benefit to some padding as our feet weren’t designed to walk on concrete etc) |

Somehow at 16 years old I'm 200 pounds. I took a six day break from last thursday to this past wednesday and I think I needed it. Oh and there is now no machine in Planet Fitness that I cannot do AT LEAST 150lbs on. Also started doing more work with freeweights. Wednesday was bicep and abs day, yesterday was shoulders (I actually forgot to do triceps so I'll have to do that today). So I guess I'm doing triceps and shoulders today. Leg day is tomorrow, that's my favorite actually. Three years later, and so much has changed. In September of 2020 I was 16 years old. I was about 5'11"-6' and about 200lbs. Well by April 2021 I was 6'1/2" and 220lbs. I was huge and strong but I was really chubby. So in April of 2021 I started fasting. By August '21 I was 190lbs and I felt amazing. But I wanted to go farther. So I kept fasting, but I stopped working out. So by the summer of 2022 I was all the way down to 138lbs. I was eating about once a week. People thought I was on meth because I lost 82lbs in a year. But in reality I had an eating disorder I didn't realize I had. In August of 2022 I went to jail and finally started eating again. I gained a little over 20lbs in my two months bit. When I got out at the beginning of last October I was about 160 with eight pack abs. I had never had abs until I started starving myself. Throughout the end of last year I was about 155lbs consistently. But in February of this year I started gaining a little bit of weight. Which for about a year was my biggest fear. To me weight was the devil I had to be as lean as possible. But I finally got over that and started eating closer to a normal amount (almost once a day). I've been working out on a somewhat consistent basis since I went to jail and since I got locked up. I started wrestling training again this year so I needed to bulk up a tad bit. Now I'm about 175lbs, the most I've weighed since about December 2021. I still have a six pack. I'm still lean as hell, I can see almost all the definition and striations in my body. But I feel way more solid. Also I have to mention I have grown a significant amount throughout all of this. When I made the original post on 2020 I was 16 years old and 5'11". Now I'm 19 and I'm 6'3 1/2". In shoes I'm 6'4". So in the last three years I've lost 82lbs, gained about 37 of it back. And I'm 4.5 inches taller. What a transformation, literally on some Christian Bale sh*t. Right now my goal is to be at about 190lbs going into 2024. Because with my tall and wide build I look bigger than I really am. So my 190 would look like 220+. Oh and by the way... I'm still this forums future WWE Champion, and these new belts would look pretty good around my chiseled waist. |
