Offical Workout (also Bloatmaxx) Thread

I'm hitting up the Chinese buffet today for lunch, will probably leave a little after dinner. As always, no shitting.
I've stopped lifting so I can ensure I don't lose any calories.
Bloat is half the equation
Started a strength program this week. Been lifting since i was in high school but I’m getting older (47) and feel weak as fuck right now. Gonna try and up my GAINZ.

I ballooned up to 262 pds at 6'1" by the end of December. Decided to start back getting serious with portion control, what I'm eating, and how much I'm exercising. Started on a Couch to 5K app that someone on the old tMB suggested just to help with burning off excess pounds. Been hitting it pretty religiously since I started and with the diet I've lost 8 pounds so far in January. I also had to start back with some kind of weight lifting program. I know if I made it too ambitious or difficult I'd quit soon, so it's pretty damn easy so far. I broke up body areas and opposing muscle groups for each day Monday-Friday with core everyday. I think it's helping a little bit so far. I'm 48 and do not have great genetics so I don't build muscle really fast, and I don't want to stick needles in my leg so it's slow going.
345 - 355 - 365 - 365 - 365
I should prob DL more being 260, but I didn't start developing the movement until later. I can prob squat close to that in 5x5
Fellow 260 bro here. I'm a lean 260 LOL!

I am not
I've never been able to figure out diet really. Prob need to seek some kind of counseling or something, but I've always enjoyed working out. I don't worry about the weight too much anymore thoughI am not

Have run a few of their programs in the past and just cycle through what I have. They are great programs but take some getting used to if you have not used RPE before. Most of them have exercise selection so you can choose what you want to do to not get bored or if you have limited equipment. They also put out tons of great content if you want to learn more of the science behind what they do. Both of the head guys are MDs and are strong AF.
Strength III Template - Barbell Medicine
The Strength III Template is designed for Trainees who want to focus on increasing strength in either the powerlifts or strengthlifts.

Oh hell yeah bro. I did the Bridge by those guys a few years ago. Took me to another level in strength and I've never lost that foundation.Currently running this:

They have incredible programming where you can just handle massive volume and your body seems to take it really well

Fucked my knee up a couple of months ago. Thought for sure if I laid off for a while it would fix itself. Apparently that method has a very low success rate. Getting my MRI done in a couple of hours. Gotta get this shit fixed. That fucking platform is calling my name.
I’ll be hitting deads today too when I hit the gym

Focusing on abs. I've disciplined myself to do 365 sit-ups every single year.
One each day when you get out of bed in the AM?

Yes, and always use perfect form unless I'm hungover.

Bout to go now. Hitting bench today. Doing a 8,6,4,2...starting at 225 and adding 20lbs each subsequent stage . Maybe a 1 rep if I’m feeling it.
Incline DB - 3x8
Pec Deck - 3x15
Probably wonder around the gym a bit trying to convince myself to just leave.
...then hit some Half ass tricep push & pull downs The I’ll be out of there. Ain’t trying to Kill my entire Friday night. Fuck I’m dreading it already.
