My arms and legs toned up just by walking, water and dieting. Took about 3 years but works. I do have some extra skin on belly, no fat. Looks like I'll need to start situps/crunches.

I'm not a dietitian, but I also made the decision to lift. I started stronglifts earlier in the month. This makes me eat differently to try and see good progress. And I've lost 35 lbs last year just cleaning my diet up. You'll need to take my current diet with a grain of salt because I'm also new, and am only lifting in the lighter weights right now.



My got to for protein is firstly meat. Mostly chicken as it's cheap. Chicken is $2 per lbs, where beef is $8+. I'll eat chicken at lunch or dinner. Then eggs is the next good source of protein. Breakfast either over easy or scrambled. Then boiled for later in the day. Plain almonds for afternoon snack (no salt or sugar coating). Mozzarella cheese sticks for snack as well. Fat free Greek yogurt with fruit before bed. Lastly, a protein shake. I'll have this between breakfast and lunch. The Matrix 2.0 Chocolate (that was suggested by the good fellows of the Self Defense and Fittness Forum) is really good. I'll put a half a cup of whole milk, eight cups of cold coffee, and a scoop of protein powder. It taste like a frap-a-mocha-chino-latte from EightBucks. Eating this type of food with a lot of fruit and a little veggies usually gets me up to 160g of protein a day and 2,500 calories. I'm told this is a minimum calorie and protein intake. So you might need more or less as YMMV.

Thank you sir, I went from 206 in Feb down to 185 on July 22nd when I went back to the Dr. I only eat once, maybe twice a day and I have to force myself to eat three times a day but it's getting easier



My problem is I am going to start working out again but I have had 5 hip surgeries on my left him and 3 of the surgeries were total hip replacements.



I felt like a guinea pig but it is what it is. I have to start slow on that hip and can't figure anything special to start with so I figure start light.



My last hip surgery the Dr told me I have so much scar tissue and a weak leg muscle from being cut so much in the same place that he said after my recovery he thinks steroids would work for me to build the leg muscle back up but my last visit i left and never brought it up



Thanks for the diet info

isn't a real thing. The extra skin will tighten up over time unless you have a full on flying squirrel.

Because you get big by eating shitloads of protein and doing max effort compound lifts.

And the only way to get both is to do one and then the other.

Sounds pretty good. I do a half cup of oats with 2 scoops of beef protein and a scoop of peanut butter powder for breakfast, then a whole carton of egg beaters with 6 slices of turkey bacon 3 hrs later, Handful of almonds and a double scoop of beef protein with a scoop of PB powder for a snack, then a fist sized portion of meat with a fist sized portion of broccoli, then a protein shake, then a fist sized portion of meat and broccoli again with some quinoa, then 12-15 egg whites before bed.

it's like work all on its own.

Thanks for the complement, it took about a year. I pretty much cut back on all meal proportions and little to no sugared soda, fast food, donuts, candy etc.. Drink a crap load of water and eat more fruit and vegetables. Actually when I lost the weight my appetite decreased.

I usually average around 175-180g of protein per day. Greek yoghurt, sardines, and beef jerky are all high protein foods that are not really bulky. 2 scoops of Impact protein powder in 8oz of Greek yoghurt is about 60g of protein.

"get stronger"  I hear/read that a lot.  How much stronger?  Continuously stronger and stronger...like forever?  

Now in my late 40s, body weight moves are very appealing.  Add in some dumb bells for flies or presses and such are great additions.

But if you only did a mess of push ups, pull ups, squats and crunches and some running you would be stronger/"fit-er" than the vast majority of the world.  

And you may plateau, but if you are functional, strong and feel good, whats wrong with plateau at that level?  Seems like plateau is a bad word.  No!  I want to be stronger...and stronger...and stronger...oops...my rotator is damaged...

But I am only an expert in being me so....

I don't think other people are mad that you're reaching your goal. Why are you mad that others' goals are different from yours?

Try the word "maintain" instead of "plateau" and see if that helps with any misunderstandings.

You have hips replaced? You need to be talking to your doctor, and a professional sports therapist that specializes in hip replacements about your diet, and recovery. NOT to a bunch of dip shits on the interweb... [/drops microphone].

I tried Jack3d for a workout once, didn't really like it, but I DID end up using it right before PT tests.    Maybe it was psychological, maybe it really did help me crank out a few extra reps, who knows?

Original Jack3d, or the neutered Jack3d?

The original was fucking incredible.

You can get the "original" formula right now, if you look around, or so I've heard.

However, accidentally inhaling some of your PWO is not advised, and will take you on an interesting adventure.

No, it was a molecule off of amphetamines. Which was close enough to pop a dirty test.

Every Sunday my poor wife spends over an hour cooking bacon and then frying eggs in the bacon grease.  Several days of calories in one meal.

This thread and others show the exact opposite of this statement. Anytime someone is happy doing less then the powerlifting "Bro's" on the site they are bro attacked.

" if you don't lift weights you're weak bro"
" 200lbs your scrawny bro"
" 250lbs, I'd have to not eat for a month to be that tiny bra"
"Bodybuilders are week bro, gotta hit one rep maxes bra, otherwise you got aids bro"


I do find these threads amusing though

" 250lbs, I'd have to not eat for a month to be that tiny bra"

"Bodybuilders are week bro, gotta hit one rep maxes bra, otherwise you got aids bro"





I do find these threads amusing though

Really? Do tell more how you've come to form that opinion in all the the "threads like this" you've participated in. Would you say it's been more or less than say, 20?  What do you think a good representative sample would be?

"get stronger"  I hear/read that a lot.  How much stronger?  Continuously stronger and stronger...like forever?  

Now in my late 40s, body weight moves are very appealing.  Add in some dumb bells for flies or presses and such are great additions.

But if you only did a mess of push ups, pull ups, squats and crunches and some running you would be stronger/"fit-er" than the vast majority of the world.  

And you may plateau, but if you are functional, strong and feel good, whats wrong with plateau at that level?  Seems like plateau is a bad word.  No!  I want to be stronger...and stronger...and stronger...oops...my rotator is damaged...

But I am only an expert in being me so....


I don't think other people are mad that you're reaching your goal. Why are you mad that others' goals are different from yours?

Try the word "maintain" instead of "plateau" and see if that helps with any misunderstandings.

The "happy doing less" people are getting negative responses when they put down others or claim to be more than "happy".


Pencil neck geek:  "I'm very happy where I am and with what I do"
Meathead: "Rock on Geek"

PNG: "You don't need to lift to be ripped like me"
MH: "Pics?"

If y'all didn't start shit...

TLDR: My meatheads didn't do nothin'

Original Jack3d, or the neutered Jack3d?

The original was fucking incredible.

You can get the "original" formula right now, if you look around, or so I've heard.

However, accidentally inhaling some of your PWO is not advised, and will take you on an interesting adventure.

  Oh come on, there's a million ways to cook them.


If you fry them in bacon grease, that significantly improves the flavor.

  This.  Egg is great protein and easily digestible.


But they taste so nasty.

I'll eat them fried. With half a loaf of toast.

Tomorrow, I'll be back in the gym, lifting.



I'll be squatting 340 5x5, with an extra credit set of 435 after that.

Then I'll be overhead pressing, 130 5x5.

Followed by deadlifts at 345 3x5, and 365 extra set after.

Then some assisted pullups and dips.





Then I'll go for a six mile run.







Next month, I do seven miles for my run.  All while still lifting.
