How's your energy level been overall since you recovered from the crud?

I've been running through a bunch of the Resident Evil remakes ahead of Requiem, but I'll probably hold off on buying it until a sale. I've also been playing through the remake of Silent Hill 2, and I have to say that I'm disappointed. I loved it back in the day, but now it kind of feels like a...

At our age, I would argue an emphatic "yes!"

Had Upper yesterday and Lower today, and I'm feeling good. Not quite as strong as I was before I got sick, but almost there!

So, Saturday morning check in. I woke up bracing myself for disappointment and ended up pleasantly surprised. Down to 165.4 lbs and 18.8 BF%. So despite the minor cut, I still managed to shave almost a pound and more than a full percentage of body fat this past week. I'm almost (but not quite)...

My sinus infection is finally clearing up, and I'm slowly recovering strength. I binged this weekend, so I've been working to get back on track with the diet to at least break even tomorrow with last week's weigh in.

I like Reaper Bones a lot--as someone else upthread mentioned, you can't beat the price. I find, however, that I have to really wash them (toothbrush and all) to keep them from interacting weirdly with primer. As someone who uses the "slapchop" method, primer's important. My favorite minis to...

Sorry to hear that. That said, there are lots of reasons you wouldn't be at peak performance: calorie reduction, caffeine reduction, getting over a cold, etc. It could also be that you need a deload given how hard you've been pushing--I don't recall when your last one was. That's all to say that...

Took my measurements today and meh. Down almost three pounds this week, but I suspect much of it was water as the other measurements didn't change. Maybe (?) lost a fraction of an inch at the waist, but who can say. I've had several successful cuts in the past, but far more false starts. The...

It claims another one!

Not much to report: back in this week but doing baby weights and reacclimating. Counting calories has been okay so far. Starting slow with 1900/day. We'll see how it looks by Saturday. If I've lost a few pounds, I'll keep it at that for another week. Generally, I like to start a cut slowly, and...

Seems like you've been moving the needle on the incline press. Nice!

Made it in yesterday and today. Still struggling with sinus stuff, so I took it VERY easy: nothing close to failure. I found that during the workout, my sinuses opened up quite a lot more, so that's good. It's been humbling, but that's okay.

Still congested, but I need to start back up. I'm using today as a reset button, thinking of it as starting over. I'll use baby weights to reacclimate this week, and then I'll start back progressively overloading. I'm going back to the Nippard Essentials 5x/week program: U,L,P,P,L. That's...

I just have a cheap pair of Gym Reapers, and they do the job well. I'll use them for dumbbell rows, too. TBH, I should probably train my wrists and grip strength a little better, but there're only so many hours in the day! :P
