Dunno why, but bodyweight exercises like pullups/dips and **** are the holy grail for fat guys. Nice work!

Because not being able to pull yourself up is a pretty helpless/pathetic feeling (I should know).

Grease the groove with the neutral grips imo.

Yeah, you remember in high school, or elementary school when you had to do pull ups, or like a rope climb exercise and it was always the fatties who couldn't do it, or who were the worst at it, and the ridicule and fear that comes with that. There have been many times since then where I've been able to do them. There was actually a point in my life where I was in good shape. But now getting back towards that point again is real nice, and this is a nice milestone on that long highway.


I feel like I could do some regular chins...and I guess next week we're going to find out for sure.

So, I don't know what's been going on...and I guess there have been some things going on that have affected my mental state lately. But, I haven't really been doing well. Just kinda down and ****, and I think there's a correlation between that and my diet. So I think I'm going off the plan I have for now. Still going to eat well, but not be so strict about certain things, and see if that affects my mood. Also lately, I've been stagnant at a higher weight. And going off of some things I've read on bodyrecomp, I'm going to go off for a while, and come back to it at a later point, with better numbers in mind.

Pretty std to get a bit down after dieting for a while imo. And yeah, taking diet breaks is a good idea.

Malucci, speaking as a fellow former fattie, the food dreams are the absolute worst aren't they?

Haven't really had any food dreams yet...

Ran for 40 minutes or so today. Felt good.

Gym today, didn't squat or deadlift because I messed up my back a little squatting last time in the gym. Definitely need to get a belt at this point before squatting again. Probably going to get a velcro one instead of Inzer due to Evoken's recommendation in his log.

Bench 1x5 185 1x4 185 1x5 185

Dumbbell press 1x6 55s (110) 1x8 55s 1x6 55

Press- Tried to get 125 up once and it didn't happen. Dickless. 1x2 115 1x3 115 1x2 115

Chin ups (regular style) 1x4 1x2 1x2 kipping involvement

So, terrible nutrition lately and pwo had to do with my colossal weakness today. This is going to be a tough month for gymming though, I am moving at the end of the month and a couple of trips to LA are going to get in the way. We'll see how it goes though. No quit in this big bastard.

Moving/cleaning is such a good workout.

Meh, I think I'm going to be paying someone to clean the place. I know I don't want to do it. It's not even that bad either. I'm lame.

Also, I don't really have that much stuff to move, but yeah, that will be something of a workout. Still, it sucks. I dread it way more than I do any work out.

I did have weird food dreams last night. Mixed with one where my favorite brother commits suicide. It was...weird to say the least.

35 minutes on elliptical on 11 resistance doing 5 tabata intervals in that time.

I should probably elaborate on my food dreams. In the dreams I'm just going crazy eating everything. Which would be great because I'm on a diet and it doesn't count. Of course, I don't realize its a dream so I just feel extremely guilty the whole time. It sucks.

Did you feel guilty when your overeating caused your brother to commit suicide?


Question: Is there actually an 11 resistance on the elliptical machine or has this just been one long Spinal Tap reference?

Heh, that would kinda coo.

Now I feel bad because it isn't an awesome Spinal Tap reference, because...it needs to be. No, it goes beyond 11...which means it rocks harder than any Elliptical in the business.

The two dreams were unrelated, but just happened within the same sleep session. And...the food dream was kinda lame because I was eating stuff that I don't really like that much (ice cream). I would prefer eating something deliciously fried, or like some mashed potato mess, or something...nachos...yeah...I was going to go hiking today...now I'm going to go watch the Buckeyes game and gain 17lbs.

Also, later tonight, I'm going to go and get amazing sushi...I literally can't wait. I need to learn how to post pictures on here from my phone. Any advice on that? I know there's probably a sticky somewhere...it's on my jeans from thinking about this sushi later...

Depends on the phone. If it's an iphone/android, you can get an app to upload to flickr/photobucket/whatever you prefer. Most other phones (some Nokia phones have flickr apps e.g.) you need to upload via your computer, via web browser on the phone or whatever.

Yeah, I have a droid, but I don't have a flickr/photobucket/whatever account. I do have a cord though that would connect it to my computer...I really hope I can figure it out from there.

Hmmmm...nope, I'm dumb.

Make a photobucket account.

http://photobucket.com/

Download photobucket app on your phone

Take pics of delicious sushi (try the scallops)

Become cool internet hero.

Eh, you need a place to upload to anyway so yeah go ahead and make a photobucket account like mr sci-fi said.

Okay, I will set up flickr and become "cool internet hero".

I might get that shirt made. Or, better yet...boxer briefs.

lmao

Def make that your flickr username.

Hah, that should have been my user name. And...Malucci was taken? What gives flickr?

So I didn't take any pictures of the sushi, I kinda forgot...and it was a little disappointing to be honest. But we sat next to Heather Graham which was, I guess interesting.

I do have this, which is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten in my life from The Counter in LA...there are multiple locations. Gruyere cheese, mushrooms, and garlic aioli.

WTF?!?!?!? Where's the picture? I put it in there and everything...
