unless you're like

6'6

6'4"

maybe 25 then

what did you keep fucking it up on

Commitment. Basically. That and I wouldn't get my greens in and end up shitting my brains out.

yeah commitment is tough

cravings are hard.

you need to be careful with the vegetables

those carbs can really sneak up on you

I ain't got any irl support either. After a long ass day at work, it can be hard to make meals too

Yeah, I usually weigh everything out

i do the lazy way of keto

Asparagus is my fav

it's terrible for me, but it works

Pick someone on here to check in with

asparagus is a sneaker

^

i'll help you with that

Any takers?

Thanks man

I can help y’all

I found a diet of coffee, salad and hate has worked for me in the past.

I have actually done that same diet in the past but with a stupid amount of running

I just got a puppy a week ago and get on the ground and wrestle with her for a while. Gets my heart going and a good sweat without being high impact. Do that a couple of times a day and my exercise bike as well as a diet change and I should be solid.

The best motivation is the long term investment of having achieved something and not wanting to lose it. Don’t rely too heavily on one thing for motivation, such as a one year goal. It’s best to understand early on that fitness is something you do until you’re old and gray or die. When just starting, use every bit of motivation you can though and don’t overwhelm yourself by changing every aspect of your life at once. Start small and build momentum. Cut out sodas for a month, then fast food, then switch to whole grain wheat products only, then cut out processed foods, etc. I drink sweet tea still, but I consistently decreased the amount of sugar I put in it over many months to the point you can hardly tell there’s sugar in it at all. I can, but that’s because I’ve cut out soda, even diet, altogether, to the point my tastebuds are more receptive to small amounts of sugar. And I still only drink a cup a day. The rest is water and milk. Once you get to the point you’ve bought a home gym, a nice water filter, and a nice pair of running shoes e.g. $1000+ worth of investment AND convenience...it’s hard to turn around on it. Thus, the cost sunk fallacy comes into play. Still doesn’t prevent burning out. Imo the only thing that does that is accepting this is a permanent lifestyle change, which brings us back to not overwhelming yourself until you’ve gotten to that point.

The amount of willpower gained up to that point is considerable as well

You tie your shoes whether running a marathon or walking around the block. It starts somewhere/

Anyone else doing intermittent fasting?

I'm trying to gain enough weight where a good gust of wind won't blow me over.

Lots of heavy lifting and protein helped me

@Mountain Man 🏔 i last at most like 3 days than i end up eating an entire bag of oreos at like 1230am

Lmao

I can do 3 days, but its brutal at the end.

Damn I’m killing myself with 12-14 hours

@Mountain Man 🏔 Yeah it's a lot better after 20 hrs I find. My stomach calms the fuck down, but I can smell a big mac 700 yards away lmao. Keep going bro

Yeah I started with 12 for a few weeks now im doing 14. Then I’ll do 16. I don’t need to lose weight I’m almost too skinny. I’m trying gain more muscle. So lots of workouts, jogs, protein. Just trying to stay healthy and in shape.

Thanks man

i do IF while i'm at work

i work 9 hour days so that's a pretty good length of time

idk if IF is the right thing to call it, really its just not eating lunch

This is the body of a guy that stood with a flag and got shot with a beanbag round in the chest.

@Anonymoose

Shelf stockers better take a look at a real hero.

No offense but that's a big dude lmao

If I took a bean bag in that same area it wouldnt feel good.

@Jimmydean338

Good to know I could take a beanbag and likely live. Assuming no weird heart things associated with the shot.

Hit 225 on squat last night. Was at 365 when I quit working out last time. 2 months in. Dad bod is slowly going back to the way things should be

Keep up the great work!

Is there a safe way to get into.lifting with out a spotter?

Definitely

Wall sits strengthen the knees

Don’t, for the love of God, stretch like they did back in the 70s and 80s, that’ll ruin your hips and knees and you’ll end up with replacements at the ripe old age of 40

Scooby Skateboard Squats

“If it’s good enough for old people, it’s good enough for your fat ass!”

But really, 5x5 StrongLifts or Mark Rippetoes Starting Strength. Progressive overload. Easy at first but gets harder eventually.

Lost 20+lbs, thanks bros

Awesome dude! Did you find a place that would let you swim?

https://fitness22content.com/R?ANV

Longest run in 4yrs. To be fair, I walked some of it

Walking on runs only counts if anyone you know sees you walking. Good work!

https://fitness22content.com/R?ANP

Lol. I walked about 15 miles yesterday. Feet are killing me.

5 miles full kit (35-45 lbs) under 1hr 40mins

@Mando nice!

I did my 2mile in 25mins. Sounds like I gotta up my game

Onlynreaso I didn't do it in full gear is the kabar on my kit, I'll take that off and add it back on if needed

Any advice for full kit rucking? Can I just bring a weighted bar to simulate a rifle? Or am I better off just going innawoods some place random?

a weighted bar would be better than nothing. my advice is bring a shitton of water.

however much water you think you'll need, double it

I drink 2-3 liters when hiking hard. Bring crackers or something too a little food is amazing

I asked in regards to carrying a rifle and being detained for it while rucking. Thinking of asking around and just wearing hunter orange underneath my carrier

@Jon Irenicus make sure you have a valid license in a valid hunting area tho

> Any advice for full kit rucking? Can I just bring a weighted bar to simulate a rifle? Or am I better off just going innawoods some place random? @Jon Irenicus sledge hammer dude. That’s what a lot of us use to ruck off base.

> @Jon Irenicus sledge hammer dude. That’s what a lot of us use to ruck off base. @Crye Salesman Umm... no. Man sized and shaped bundle of fire hose. Round about 150lbs of i remember correctly. If you can make it with that you're good to go. 😂😂😂

he's probably talking about a stand-in for a rifle

Yeah I definitely was lmao. Pack on back, sledhammer carried.

And I would fucking **LOVE** to see proof of you, or anyone you know, rucking with even close to 150lbs lmfao

thats a shitton of ruck

Yeah most people ruck with 40-60

Gyms are opening back up near me

That was a fun experience

https://youtu.be/KcY7ITTDecs

I did this in 30lbs of body armor RIP my legs lol

Sledge hammer

I see the reasoning behind that. Would help strengthen my lefty more than it already is

Is there a ranking somewhere of what martial arts are the best for self defense/hand to hand? I know ultimately it would be a mixture of them but where to start?
