use blue agave in whatever you put sugar in like coffee n stuff.
I didn't actually drop it, but I just stopped.So you dropped it or what?I'm kinda pissed. I mentioned that I just added deadlifts back into my routine last week after not doing them for a year. I didn't wanna go too heavy last week, so I kept it at 315, but this week, I wanted to step it up. Did my first working set with 315x5 and my grip was giving out on the last 2 reps, even though I consider that weight moderate for me. But anyway, I still bumped it up to 365. The previous set with 315 really got me loose...'cause the first rep with 365 felt like paper weight and I felt like I was just snatching the bar off the ground like it was nothing. By this point, everyone was mirin' hard, so I let my ego get to me and thought, "**** it, I'm just gonna rep this out 'til failure like a bawse"...instead of keeping it at 5-6 reps like I prefer for deadlifts. But after reps 7 and 8, my grip was completely SHOT and this is what made me mad 'cause I knew I could've knocked out another 4 or 5 solid, cleans reps.
I really hope my grip strength gets back to where it used to be. Might invest in some chalk.

I feel you on getting pissed. I was doing 315 the other night WITH straps and i guess my hands were to sweaty or the straps were loose and i went up but almost without the bar. Tried again same thing. People thought i couldn't lift it and i walked away PISSED. Regrouped went back and got it in.
iLLest!
congrats on ur weightloss man I know exactly what youre talking about. That thread from bb.com was a big motvation for me too
270lbs to 146lbs in a little over a year timeframe.
It was like waking up in someone else's body at the end lol because I didn't really adjust to being skinny yet. I've always been told I was a goodlookin dude if I lost weight but I always shrugged it off as BS as some type of lowkey "hint" to make me lose weight. But when I did decide to lose the weight:
- no more choking when i sleep
- no more fat jokes, no more getting called fat ***
- no more sweating from just standing after 1 minute
- no more everybody giving me their food when they can't finish it
- no more breathing and sweating hard from walking a flight of stairs
- no more looking @ walking as a chore. Now I love walking. Rather take the stairs than the escalator.
- 44" waist to 32"
- XXXL to M size
- 7 5/8 to 7 1/4 fitted
- gained half inch in height 5'5.5 to 5'6. Doesn't matter tho still manlet
- 1st time doing a pull up and push ups was life accomplishment
- people not recognizing u
- people assuming you were skinny you're whole life
- no more getting called "big man" "big guy"
- people treating you equal
- people acknowledging you exist
- girls checkin u out, girls dtf @ parties, girl friends acting different around you, girls hittin on u, girls startin conversations, gay dudes checkin u out and hittin on you, catch dude's girl checkin u out and he's mad doggin you. etc
What made me decide to lose the weight was I knew if I kept my old lifestyle I would eventually become 300+lbs before I got to 30 and think about my life in "What ifs..."
My obese cousin was also a motivation because he went to hospital because of his diabetes and almost died. And I would've probably gotten diabetes too if i kept getting fatter since my grandpa had diabetes and died from it.

Focus more on the diet. Get a good whey protein powder, multivitamin, and some fish oil. No need to get too fancy.
Yo, I need some good chest exercises...
I'm tired of the same Bar and DB flat press, incline press, decline press, flyers
Anything else I can do...Starting to get boring after doing it for a year now...
