Dieting was easier to track when I was single. Can't seem to pull it off now, can't imagine what it's like when kids are thrown into the mix.

Our entire life is very structured to make it happen. Mornings all look very similar, i go to the gym at lunch every day, etc.

I eat the same breakfast probably 9/10 days. 60g oats, 1 tbps peanut butter, 1 serving chocolate casein (i like Dymatize), 1 serving of semisweet chocolate chips, tsp of salt, 1 serving of sugar free creamer for my coffee. Usually on Sunday I cook bacon, eggs, etc. for my wife and little one, sometimes I toss in some turkey bacon and eat some too.

Lunches are meal prepped each weekend, usually on Sunday. Usually the wife and I talk about what we want for lunch Friday evening or so, so we can put in grocery order.

Dinners are pre-planned, but cooked fresh each night except Friday night. That's our designated eat out night, usually Chipotle, Izzo's, Greek, something like that.


I can legit pre-log my breakfasts and lunches for a given week on Monday without much effort. Then I'm just left to log snacks and dinners.

If this was all truly the case I have no idea why you aren’t a Greek god by now

That's really impressive. Y'all meal prep for the kids as well?

We meal prep now, I'm just not tracking anything besides chicken.

Had my monthly InBody scan this morning, last one was on 2/8

Weight: 275.2 - 266.1
SMM: 121.9 - 122.1
BF%: 23.1 - 20.4

Only had one evening with alcohol and it looks to have paid off

Been reading up on blood flow restriction for growth. It looks legit, but do you add it on to the end of a regular workout?

Say I bench 225 pounds and do three sets of five for strength. Would I then tack on four sets of ten at 95 pounds with the BFR bands?

---

yea you just tack it on at the end using isolation exercises and light weight.

so lets say you want to target arms and calves for 6 weeks


keep normal routine but cut back extra volume on those areas...not completely but may 3 sets for bis & tris and then 3 sets total for calves.

then 2-3 days a week hit like 5-8 sets of brf training for each bodypart. I suggest supersetting bis and tris as they are going to feed off one another with all the blood pumped into the muscle.

then another 2-3 days a week for calves superset tib raises with calf raises using light weight, could even do that as part of the warm up and cool down everyday if you wanted.

bfr is just about getting crazy painful pumps using light weight to get stubborn muscles to grow

if you loose another 20lbs I bet you are going to be pretty ripped or atleast very lean. 30lbs and you would be shredded.

190 / 170 / 150 (5’6”)

Couldn’t resist and hopped on the scale this morning. Pleasantly surprised that I’ve stayed steady through vacation & MG. I’ve done well with low carb, eating light, and exercise the past 2 days. Going to keep the hammer down, hoping for sub 165 by the end of next week. Let’s go fellas, let’s hit these goals before the summer!
