[QUOTE="darjr, post: 8572880, member: 52905"] I love dumbbells. But I still want to do barbell work, for a while yet. I know it’s just cause I wanna say Squat, Bench, Dead but having fun is all part of it, plus my gym now has max shirts and I want it! I’ve done full blown Keto until I started putting on weight with it and not in a good way. I’ve done fasting, from restricted eating windows to full on nothing but saltwater for days. Among other things like very low carb. I wouldn’t do most of them ever again. They did have a purpose and absolutely helped me lose weight, well at first anyway. And at the time that weight loss was my singular goal, damn the consequences. Went from 340 to 240 in just a few months on keto/fasting. But, I also did a lot of damage. Lost so much str in my legs I had to go to physical therapy. My squat was less than my bench for a long time. I will say though, fasting was very “spiritual”. I entered a kind of zen that I miss now. Though I dint think I’ll ever do it again. Now I’m in a low fat high carb hi high protien looking to lose about a 1lb a week, with maintenance diet breaks included. I broke under 300 again and ma going to just kinda maintain for a bit. I’m a lot heavier in muscle than I was last time I was 300 too. A lot stronger too. And it isn’t excruciating either. It’s almost easy….. almost. The tracking of every gorram thing I eat sucks, but the app I’m using now makes it easier than ever. Here is the graph, the dots are estimated and the line is scale. [ATTACH]153359[/ATTACH] The left goes up to over 310lbs. You can see where I went back to maintenance on the right had side. The amazing thing to me is that my strength has kept going up during this latest phase. I used to hide all this, but not anymore. I kinda have to chatter about it, sorry. Side note, I found family and friends are joining in more and more, which is the very best part. [/QUOTE]
