Cheers, Carrerarich!! Good to know you're back to healthy! The hotel life is a rough one, been there and done that. Traveling to a work site always presents diet and training challenges. Do you have any access to a gym or training equipment? Perhaps even some dumbbells in the hotel "fitness...

Great training this past weekend, which I needed after a particularly stressful week on the job site and in dealing with some personal issues. Legs back up that annoying half-inch I'd lost but d#mmit if I can't get the bloody things to grow beyond that - bad genetics I blame (my Father was a...

Looking good, Mate! You can absolutely see that you're progressing! Stick with it!! "...3J does allow me to have a cheat on one of my high carb days..." WTF?!? I need to get me one of those :) *calls 3J* ;)

3Js is an evil genius (I can attest - I'm in one of the above pics!) Best thing about the program he has me on is that while I'm shedding body fat & preserving muscle mass, I'm not starving all the time! This has made it far easier to keep discipline and to stay the course & follow the diet as...

Scale-weight right back to where I needed it to be after a full week of training. Staying out of the gym is impossible and I'm too old for making such changes to my lifestyle. Waistline is back down and legs & chest have 'held' which is amazingly encouraging! Some love to 3Js for his...

This is correct, IMO. Has to be for yourself at the end of all. Added attention from the opposite sex is a nice perk don't get me wrong, but if I were locked away in solitary for life with nothing but a power cage you can bet your bullocks that I'd be working that cage. Do it for you, f#ck the...

Get back on the wagon after those pizzas, Mate!! Congrats on the body fat loss!!

Dayum, Mate!! Amazing results!! Agree with 3Js - you need to show-out!! Well done!

Cheers, Zimmer! I'd be thinking the same thing (water weight) so don't fret over a short term spike on the scale. It will be gone as quickly as it arrived. You're making progress! Leaning-out slowly (IMO) will help you to stay lean for the long run. Your workouts look spot-on and it sounds...

Cheers, Mate! Congrats on your progress!! Can't wait to see the pics!! Stick with it!! (the diet and the blog)

So much truth in this thread. Think about all of the "food centric" engagements most of us are forced to manage thanks once again to marketing and culture. Business lunches / dinners. Family gatherings at restaurants / bbqs / etc. Beer with the boys. If anything, I'd say the very people whom...

It felt great to get back in the gym this past weekend. Long story short, I was forced into a week-long training furlough due to a medical reason (life happens) but am back now with a vengeance. Legs Sat, Chest / back on Sun. My scale weight is up a touch, I suspect due to the reduced caloric...

LOL - 3Js cracked-up at my alarm over the 5Lb gain and quickly pointed out how it was all water weight and would vanish as rapidly as it had accumulated :) He was right. Unofficial weigh-in this morning put me right back to where I was pre-family vist / pre-diet splurge ;) Off to the gym to...

Cheers, all! Here's a motivational post for you using myself as a human guinea pig :) I'm back from visiting my family over the long holiday weekend. For kicks (ok, for enjoyment also :) I relaxed the diet standards on Sat and Sun and basically just ate what the family ate. I also considered...

No, Bro!!! :( Training through injuries is tough - mentally and obviously physically. You've got to work around it (that's a tough muscle group to work around unfortunately) but you've got to have the mental fortitude to recognize that trying to "gut it out" in the gym even though you're...
