Fuck man, I've gotten 345 lb up but I sure didn't get that deep. That's damn impressive.

thanks, i just cut most of my weight. i had a bunch of knee glide/butt wink and i wasn't using my hamstrings, mainly due to the fact that my lower back was so weak that i couldn't squat low-bar.
killed my ego and started over last night…
never felt better.

Bubba - you tried high bar squatting? I was a huge low bar guy until I started mainly weightlifting and my high bar has exceeded what I can rack low now - might be worth a shot, especially if you wear lifting shoes and have wraps

working on inversions lately… Single arm isometric holds are on tap to find that center. Also the handstand push-up is a great excerise for recruiting not only rotator cuff stabilization, but also engages all 3 heads of your deltoids.
I feel like this thread should be at or near the top daily…

Hit my first weightlifting meet this weekend down in Baton Rouge Louisiana - went all 6/6 and landed a 124kg clean and jerk - fun experience that I would recommend to all!

what do you guys think about something like this?
the guy has a pretty cool youtube and IG page…the videos are great and imo it's a great thing when wanting to workout at home. so no gym required as you can tell.
opinions would be great to hear! thanks.

Looks like a gimmick

Stay away from stuff like this… Keep it simple... don't jump on timed plans/diets, just figure out a way to make it a lifestyle. Build muscle=burning fat. Cardio=Cortisol(if you like cardio, keep it at 15 mins max and at the end of your workout). I know I'll catch shit for that one. Anyway, you need to lift/push weight (75-85% of your one rep max) at least 2 times a week, hitting your main movers(pecs, back, legs(glutes!), shoulders). I dig the body weight stuff, and you can produce results using explosive movements with body weight. Win the week... 4 of the 7 days eat clean and workout.

US News has a review of a number of diet approaches on its website. The winner is the DASH diet, which is designed to prevent high blood pressure, but has good overall health benefits.

If you're interested in the DASH diet, there's a 64 page PDF here:

Or the short form, six page version:

The expert quoted on paleo doesn't understand the diet or how ancestral peoples probably ate: ". “A true Paleo diet might be a great option: very lean, pure meats, lots of wild plants,” said one expert – quickly adding, however, that duplicating such a regimen in modern times would be difficult."
I dispute that there WAS a "true Paleo diet," and that if there was the characterization wouldn't be reduced to "very lean, pure meats, lots of wild plants," and I also dispute that his mischaracterization of an imaginary diet is a difficult regimen in modern times. It's hard to layer that much wrongness in such a small sentence.

So, it seems like I should do something to get back in better shape. Don't know if it's being in the 30s for a while now, some stress & bad Food, but I got a small beer gut and find it harder and harder to build up or at least Keep some muscles. Worst Thing is, I used to weigh only 70 kg 5 years ago although I ate a lot and was hungry all the time. The latter hasn't changed and my mind is still set on "eat as much as you can, it's good for you" but I'm at 86 Kg now.
What would you suggest changing - I'm not set on a 180° Change or a diet, just feel like my Food & sports Routine could be a bit modified… My aim would be to lose the fat around the belly, maybe lose 1-2 kg and transform the rest into muscle. Haha.

I sympathize. You need a time machine to take you back to 25
Barring that- ramp up the exercise , put the fork down, and back away from the table. It only gets worse as you age!
