I'm going to have to start cutting soon. I've reached the limit of my work pant size.

Diet:

Oatmeal

Greek yogurt

Granola

Egg whites

Turkey

Chicken

Cereal

Almonds and walnuts

Flavors:

A lot of mild to hot spices

Mushrooms

Onions

Lettuce

Tomato

Fresh herbs

I mix and match from there. I have been cutting back severely on my fat and sodium intake. So any meat I eat is going to be super lean, and if I make an omelet, it will probably be 3 egg whites or 2 whites and one whole egg.

I recently stopped doing bench presses, opting instead for push-ups. My initial takeaway is sore triceps. I started out with 4 sets of 20 reps each of standard push ups, V-shaped push-ups (mimics incline bench), and diamond push ups. The last set I maxed out around 12-18 reps. So, I didn't quite get the full 240 reps, but my chest was definitely feeling it. Going to continue this approach. It works your core, I don't have to worry about my lingering shoulder injury, and I keep my form tight throughout (versus the arched back, puffy chest thing most guys do when trying to bench too much).

When I'm lifting, which is really all the time now, I'm so hungry it's crazy. I try not to eat late at night so by the time I wake up, I'm starving.

eat an apple before you go to bed.

You will wake up a little earlier with some real hunger pangs.

I kind of see it as a badge of honor when I have a muscle group that sore. But man is it painful.

 

Completely random, but funny...

Also, on a more "exercise" related note...

pro-tip I learned yesterday: don't do leg day when you're very short on sleep.

No....

But seriously those stair climbers are a hell of a workout. Sometimes I find those stairs harder than actual running.

Was looking for some deadlift related workouts earlier and found this...

Some interesting info as I'm getting more and more into powerlifting.  Was surprised to see where I'm at on the charts...

Agree... probably the best/hardest cardio that I ever do.

Today at lunch my gym was nearly empty. No 'resolutioners'...makes me wonder what the health of the gym is.  Very shocking.
