STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[tokes99]

you need to start manipulating your macros or do exercises that burn more calories

depends on where the person is along the ‘how much fat to lose’ & ‘how fast they need to lose it’ spectrum, but generally the actively trying to burn calories through exercise is how folk plateau the fastests…if a person is already fairly lean it’s going to be tougher but if you got a good amount to lose & don’t need to lose it quickly, putting more muscle on is so much easier than trying to burn off fat via exercise, tho obviously we should all be doing some of that type of work

Dieting and restricting your calories can be really hard sometimes. We've all been there, and we've all had our moments when we wanted to say f it or temporarily failed.

I just envision what I'm gonna look like after I shed any extra weight I need to lose to stay motivated.

Whatever it is you're craving will still be there at the end of your goal.

one has also have to consider the age and medical condition. like person have low testosterone level or thyroid level. those things really have an impact on weight gain. for me, I don't eat that much anymore and still as wide as a truck. I'm already taking water pills (prescription) and eating less salt. although I eat significant protein. I might consider going vegan just to see if my weight would drop significantly. I already dropped atleast 15 lbs for atleast 6 months and seemed to plateau around 200-203 lbs. realistic expectations now is to drop to 190 lbs.

I know things have changed when I see dudes doing 405 or more for reps on the bench. Ten to fifteen years ago, 350 would have put you in the 1 percent in most the gyms I go or went to.

quick question for yall:

if someone was a state champ in their sport, are you impressed with that? i’m not talking high school or anything like that. i’m mean in the open division.

state champ bjj
state champ powerlifter

in their respective weight class

impressed might be too much of an overstatement but yea that’s a valid accomplishment in my mind

 

[Mark Antony]

Maybe if they just found out instead of you going around telling them.

appreciate the answers..

thinking about doing state champs this sept. always avoided it because I never thought it was something worth accomplishing (in powerlifting) but I wanna compete one last time before I hang it up for good.

yea gon’ head do that for you, scratch that off your bucket list it’s a legit accomplishment. just don’t expect others to necessarily be ‘impressed’ by it

 

[Liquid Swords]

Do it for you.
Thank those who got your back but motivate yourself.
I think it’s dope to see what you’re capable of no matter the outcome.
