Man Makers

With my physical training buddy, yesterday we worked out upper body but also did some 100 yard sprints. I’m still fast as fuck, but my endurance isn’t there. On the last one once I finished I fell to the floor to catch my breath & recover. It felt like someone punched me really hard in the liver. My weight this morning was 218.5 pounds.

Gahdamn those double cheeseburgers & Big Gulps of soda have done a number on me. I’ve been alternating days of light cardio with days of strength training. I’ve lost a little weight and down to 219. Trying to get to 200 and 15% body fat by my birthday in 7 weeks. That would be decent fighting shape. I’ve been freaking out about turning 40 this year. If I’m going to be old and have a midlife crisis, I prefer to be in the best shape of my life.

There are some Gemstone videos about parrying that seem like they would be good exercise.

Especially if you hunt in areas that swarm.

Ahh parrying. That was a big deal to my sonic lancer bard. Sometimes I miss Gemstone. I just don’t have the time nor enjoy playing like I used to.

No, you don't understand. But it will all make sense soon...

It's posted on here somewhere. I think. I can't remember the dude's name or anything. I just remember people thought it was Mogonis for a while.

his first name is Justin. but outside of the bike and the weird card board stuff I do not remember much.. That and and I think he's still in jail for threats to the President

Bro 1 year ago my wife was pregnant with twin boys. She looked like a beached whale. Since then, she lost A TON of weight. If she can do that, I can lose a measly 19 pounds in 7 weeks.

Seriously though, yeah I’m trying to make it lifestyle change. If I’m not quite there by that date I won’t get discouraged. Phase 2 though…go on a calorie surplus with mass gainer and go hard in the paint at the gym. I want to add 25 pounds of mostly more muscle, and then get shredded this Spring.

If your goal is to gain a lot of muscle, then I would not focus on cardio, but you will need to hit the gym hard and lift heavy, which is very good for you incidentally since it stimulates the body to produce all kinds of good things like testosterone. The risk at your age is injury, trust me on how I know this. So make sure you have a spotter or use a machine, not as good as free weights but a lot less prone to injury. I gave up on lifting heavy in my early 50's, now I just try and keep up with cardio so my brother does not lap me when we ride mountain bikes.

I’ll take you guys on your word. Sounds like something born out of the PC for sure.

I’m in a precarious situation because I need to fix this dad bod and beer gut. I realize it’s not ideal to both lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, but that’s kinda sorta my approach until I get rid of these next 18 pounds. Hopefully I can at least keep the muscle mass I have while shredding that belly fat. Once I’m there, I’ll then do a clean bulk followed by a shred for next summer.
