The TFP Health Club

I admit to being happy with a number. 225, specifically, that I saw on the old scale. In January I weighed a bloated 245.5 Which means it’s an official drop of 20 pounds. Yes, you look at me and see a fat man. But I like to think you no longer see a jiggly mess of bloat.
After the Xmas break my Lady decided to go Keto. I was so fricken fat it seemed natural that the best way I can support her diet was by tagging along. Only without counting, still taking sugar in my coffee and for sure drinking cola when dining out. We’ve lost mebbe 35-40 pounds between us so far. Go Team

 

Thursday-lift
Friday-lift more
Saturday-lift all the goddamn weights!
Sunday- crush my enemies, see them driven before me, hear the lamentations of their women.

 

I thought you took sundays off?

 

My workout schedule reflects my time with my daughters. During the school year they go back to their mom on Wednesday morning. So I work out Wednesday through Sunday, five days a week. I have gone back to a PPLPP format right now.

 

I was actually joking, given your Sunday comment I was making a reference to the Judaeo/Christian god of the old testament.

I have my kid Tuesdays & Wednesdays and alternate weekends, I'm fortunate that we have an awesome fitness center at my apartment complex, so I get up at 5:15 and go work out before he gets up, when he's with me. With school out, we can be later, so if I need to lift and he's not up until 730 or 8 that's fine, I still get to the office. During the school year it's tougher, drop off is at 715 and I get him up at 620 - 630 to get ready. Makes it tough to do cardio & lift first (on weight days), as the fitness center opens at 5. If I'm there right at 5 I can usually finish by 6:15, which makes for a bit of a rush...

 

Back.

Wow. No one has responded since October of last year. Still working out 5 days a week. Have been gradually getting stronger again. Recently used the 120 lb db for a set of 5 for bench press. Also benched 275x8 recently. Squats for 405x3. Have to hang an extra 25 lb plate on the calf raise stack. If I ever got rid of the gut I'd show some upper body.

 

Omega, good job.
I'm just a short, 150 pound cyclist/X-C ski type, closing in on 50 years old now.
My body varies very little over time.
I gain 2 or 3 pounds each winter, then it comes off again in the spring.
Nothing to see here!

 

Thank you. I'm 46 myself. Being lightweight in your case makes a huge difference where you have to move yourself. I like being strong but I'm not going on a run anytime soon. Though I have dropped about 12 lbs in the past couple months. Still a big boy at 243.

 

This is a great thread. I make an effort to hit the gym three to four times a week.
A few very sexy men that frequent my gym which help with the motivation.

I’m very much trying to avoid the full on ‘mom bod’...double stack back of thigh butt shelf...two kids later via c-sections. Been a lot of work...although some things will never be the same no matter the effort expended.

 

I’m curious about this...the leggings bit. My blood pressure is naturally very low..what are the benefits to compression?

(Ok I’ll stop being lazy and google it..)

Dang! Well your hard work definitely shows. I've fallen a bit off the gym wagon but I try to stay limber with yoga and core strengthening. Working an office job makes it difficult but I'm still out getting steps on my breaks. Mostly what I've found is less about the weights I pick up, but the forks I put down lol!
