Hi everybody! Welcome to MFPvP! For those days were we really think we ate waaaay too much.... Background: Six months ago, I started on the NF Rebel Forums, I restarted the food diary on MyFitnessPal. I had a lot of trouble staying consistent with it. One thing to help me, of course, was posting a Challenge Thread and keeping it updated. Another thing to help was to add a purpose to those so-called "cheat meals" or "cheat days." Anybody out there struggle with tracking a day because it was more "off" than you would like or you really do not want to know just how bad it is? So to counter that, I do not call it a "cheat day." I say I am actively attempting a new High-Score on MFP! Did you achieve a new High-Score! Awesome! Tell us about it! Did you miss? Maybe the day or the meal was not as bad as you thought. Either way. As goofy as it sounds, and it does sound goofy, it is a win-win! Now with MFPvP, we have a place where we can post our high-scores and compare. How to Play: Post an entry as follows: Post weight. The morning before or week before or last official weight is adequate. Post calorie count. It does not have to be MFP. A detailed list is also nice. Specify if that is for one meal or for one day. We will track both. Weight will be converted into kilograms. Calorie count will be divided by 10 to "convert" to kilograms, then converted to Wilks points. The Leaderboard will be determined by Wilks points.

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.

Br0thern and Swolemaidens, When you last saw me, I found the strength of the gods to lift more than ever. I didn't know I was just a lil'bro until I became a monster and people were 'mirin. And all the foodz disappeared But I started to look like a cross between this and this So no more. time to get skinnier again. 1. start counting all the calories again. 2. food prep again. I've found Broki's mother Frigg and I'm married to her. Don't let her stop me from eating well. 3. get PT appointment for back/hip/leg problem. I have a Dr appoint on Monday to start this process as I have similar symptoms prior to my major back injury last year. 4. Find a competition to do some competing. Do I want to enter that powerlifting comp? beer league softball? Something!! 5. Be awesomer

Bro's, it's still that time of the year. Summer time and like any good Bro, its time to show off all the hard work of the year. Put down the useless stuff like chalk, weight belts, and sleeves and get out the spray tanners, hair gel and Axe. 1st Goal: Track all foodz and get lean. A Bro knows that starving now = lots of attention later. A Bro lifting status should be known from miles away. The question "do you even lift bro?" should be to so obvious that if asked, the only response is a blank stare. 2. A Bro knows that he has to be ready to bro at anytime. You can't bro if you are at home with an ice pack on your shoulder. A Bro must do the things to ensure the Bro is at his best all the time. 3. A Bro lifts not to be strong, but to be big is all the right places. A Bro doesn't waste time on unless exercises that don't make your arms bigger. A Bro does curls every day. A Bro also does chest, traps and calves. These are the only 4 body parts that matter. A Bro doesn't care what equipment a bro uses as long as he can see his gainz in the mirror. But at the end of the day, this is all I really want:

Conclusion from last challenge: Main Quest is overall a success. Clothes I bought 4 weeks ago are getting loose on my already and last year’s pants are unwearable. My weight is about the same, I bottomed out at 212.2lbs but was sticking around 214 most of the time. However I lost .75 of an inch off the waist. This is what is most important to me, the fat loss (15.75% on Jun 8th and 14.91% today) not the weight loss. I have come to the conclusion that I will need to get around 195lbs to have the abs and quads that I want. I fully logged 29 out of 42 days for a 69% success rate. I need to do better, lots of blank Sundays and Fridays. D+ I tracked my stats and took pictures. A 2 weeks on the disabled list with strained back sucked. The other 4 weeks I had no problem hitting the gym hard and really pushing myself. A Main Quest: To get to 8-9% Body Fat while maintaining strength. I think this will put me right around 190-195lbs on the glide path that I’m on. Main Quest (part 4): I’m guestimating that I’m at 14.91% BF today. I need to keep this train going. Also, all past quests are still in play. I just don’t stop doing a quest because the challenge is over, I stack them up. Everyone who follows me, knows I push myself in the gym hard. So it isn’t a challenge quest anymore. Tracking my body stats is now expected, so I will just do it. And… I still need to find new music to keep the motivation up. I thought I was doing well until I listened to some of Loren Wade’s playlist and my mind was blown. All these great songs and bands that are new to me!! 1st Quest: Log everything consumed. Stop eating when total calories for the day have been consumed. 2nd quest: Muscle imbalance is a bitch. Known weak areas are Abs and front core, overhead strength and flexibility (you should see me fail badly at this in yoga) and ankle flexibility. I need to add some kind of heavy abs exercise to each workout, foam roll and yogi at least twice a week. 3rd quest: Start my VA disability paperwork. I put my body on the line for years, why am I allowing the .GOV to not pay me. Life quest: Enjoy my Alaskan cruise!! Last week of this challenge I will be on vacation so I need to enjoy my time off and not worry about fat loss. I will do my end of challenge stats prior to leaving on my cruise.

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.
