Same weight as yesterday... a good sign that I'm probably done losing water-weight. Now it's time to start burning shit. >

He lost a lot of water weight initially, as most people do when they go on a caloric deficit (glycogen depletion).

Since he has little if any more water weight to lose, subsequent losses will be fat.

He's gonna get all kindsss of losses. All kinds.

Re: The Fitness Thread

Leg press was broken today. Resorted to the squat. Even with my bad back, I did 16 205lb deep as **** squats. Not bad for 144lbs.

I weighed myself at the gym today and I was 145...**** the scale at my house.

I did 24 200lb squats. I was dying at the end of my workout. Probably the hardest workout this week. I loved it.

That's nuts man. Strangely, I don't feel it at all in my legs when I squat, just feels like my back is going to explode. I have problems in my lower back. I feel the burn more when I do leg press.

I have a bad knee, so sometimes I have to just do a really light leg workout. It was feeling great today though. I hope it stays that way. Hopefully I can get some nice rest in this weekend. I'm sore as hell from this week.

I'd probably die. That, or shit myself trying to get up...

I'll try pushing it up to 210 maybe, but we'll see how it all goes.

Lats and traps are the most sore of everything on my body right now. Tri's are close too.

Had the same issue, its all because your form is shit. Fix the form and you'll feel it in your quads. It feels awkward as **** when you do it right, but once you get used to it, get ready for quad tearin pumps. One thing I like to do is put a five pound plate under each foot, it helps simulate oly shoes and helps hit the depth.

you always lose water weight. i don't know what anyone means when they say 'little to no more water weight to lose' -- it's going to fluctuate daily and it's not like it disappears. i have very little body fat and still lose 2-5lbs of water weight during a run or tennis match, then you just drink it back

Re: The Fitness Thread

Most people that are sedentary have massive glycogen stores because they're never using them. These pull and hold a lot of water weight.

When you go into caloric deficit, you start to burn off those stores and subsequently lose a lot more water weight than you would with natural fluctuation.

Therein lies the difference. Of course he still carries water weight, but how much you can carry depends on a number of variables.

For me, the pump I get in legs depends on my rep range. If I do higher rep squats my quads feel like they're dying (10-12 reps). If I do lower rep squats I feel pretty much nothing (~5 reps), but they're sore as hell the next day.

Right now I'm doing ~10 rep squats (ass to grass), and then I move up to about 15-20 reps for my accessory leg exercises. Destroys my legs pretty badly.

My form is flawless, my legs have just been endurance trained for 8 years. Squatting with perfect form is not something people should struggle with.

EDIT: Just talked to Reach about it. I most likely don't feel it because I do low rep range, high weight. If I upped the reps to say, 12-15, I'd probably feel it more. Bad back prevents that though.

Re: The Fitness Thread

I know this is probably a tall order/question, but I have a dilemma:

My diet still sucks. Mainly, I'm an inexperienced cook and my food choices are lame. I'm not used to this new diet and since I'm playing everything conservatively, my meals are pretty much bland and uninteresting.

I'm curious what you guys eat/if you have any cool recipes for things like eggs, chicken, tuna, whatever/just any tips that would help make the diet less boring. I know I can "probably get away with" eating whatever I want as long as I hit my macros, but I'd still like to save money/learn a few simple recipes/eat much healthier than I used to/etc Thanks!
