Bro's and SwoleMaidens, Last challenge was a bunch of Meh... So, time to get this shit in gear. Q1: lose 5lbs Q2: Do PT on off days. like for reals this time. Q3: Incorporate progression training into my bench training so I can ultimately win the NF Bench Bro title. LUYL: Learn Tapatalk so I can keep up with all my faithful The Theme for this is in honor of season 2 of DareDevil with my favorite Anti hero.

Br0thern and Swolemaidens, I have lost my way for a few days and no I'm back. Long version of what was wrong: Or the short version: I will be better. I will get back to basics. 1. if I eats I tracks. 1a. do food prep. 2. do my gyming, but don't be afraid to take rest days. 3. do my PT stuff - heat/ice back daily. 4. Be social in the forums and motivating for others.

Main Quest: To get to 8-9% Body Fat while maintaining strength. Main Quest (part 3): I determined that I was at 14.7% BF at the end of last quest, but I think that number is wrong. I think I’m closer to 15.75% weighing in at 216.6lbs. I think I’m in a body recomp mode for the last 8 weeks, but I don’t really know. I think I am, but I don’t have the stats to prove it. And that shit won’t fly anymore. Today, I do something I should have been doing for a long time (like 25lbs ago) but am too shy to do. NO LONGER!! 1st quest: Log 100% foods consumed on MFP. If I stuff my face with 3 baskets of chips and 2 grande margaritas at Chevy’s, then it will be logged. If I go to happy hour at the Yard House, then that IPA and whole pizza gets logged. No excuses, no lying to myself, I can no longer take it!! 2nd quest: Track body stats. Did you know I put on over an inch to my chest since New Year’s? I’ve lost almost 2 inches off my thighs and 2 inches off my shoulders since New Year’s!! I should have not been neglecting entering the data. Therefore, I will do full body measurements once a week and take a #selfie. 3rd quest: ITS YOUR MOTHERFUCKING SET!! I’m glad Flex Luthor posted some of CT Fletcher’s videos in chat. Cause I was working hard, but I was really going through the motions. I need to focus on 1 more rep, 1 more set and 5 more pounds. I will no longer think about doing a set, I will do it. When I lift a weight, that weight will be lifted. I will get it up and when I fail, it won’t be for long, because next time, I will do it. (Damn, I’m motived to lift right now!!) The incident that brought this to my attention happened when we had a pull up challenge at work. Normally, on back days, I would do a 10, 8, 8, 6 set, but on this work comp, I knocked out 22. Why was I only doing 10? I should have been doing 15 or 18 or 20 or even 40!! Hidden bonus quest: break the “next plate” barrier. I’m stuck right around 305lbs on the Bench, 385lbs on DL and my squat is all over the place. For some reason, I can’t add that next full plate and I think it’s all mental. Just do it, break that barrier.
