Pull ups.

Getting more solid every week. Can get a solid 3 now everytime. Almost to 10. Maybe next week.

Got follow up blood work this morning.

So after 30 days on 10mg and about 9 days on 20mg. Has made a pretty huge difference so far.

Total cholesterol down to 198 from 252.

HDL exactly the same at 47.

LDL dropped 60 points from 192 to 132.

Nice thing is I'm at the same bw as my last test so this is all the effect of the meds obv.

Liver panel came back normal as well.

Seems to be ok.

Great work!

Thanks Rich. Been doing pretty well just cruising along. I may just break into the 180s at some point not even trying. I'm no master cutter or anything, but I guess that's not to bad.

Went thru the first box of Twinkies faster than I thought. They're a little drier than I remember. I like these better though. I think the original was a bit too oily.

Hit all time low of 188 bw this week. Have a final dexa in 3 wks just to see what the differences are. Feel like body is stabilizing at the lower weight now.

5.5 becoming a monster on pull ups now. I can do more than a lot of NFL linemen.

So you have lost about 30 lbs, correct? 218 to 188. How much do you think your bench and press have declined over the cut? Seems like you have done a pretty good job maintaining strength/minimizing strength loss.

Yeah I've lost 30lbs.

Current bench is probably around 335. So 15lb drop or .5lb drop in 1RM for every pound lost.

Haven't tested press in awhile, but I know I can still put up 225 despite what the scientists predicted. According to their calculations I should be struggling to put up 195 right now. Not too shabby for 188 pounder. I guess it wasn't all due to bodyweight after all. The guy who is constantly wrong on everything was wrong yet again. Go figure.

I can't imagine these bile levels are great for your bloodwork.

Does that mean it is time for a bulk?

Yes. Lean bulk to 230lbs so I can bench 600lbs.

Not Loco approved tho

What cracks me up is that after 10yrs or so he finally admits he's "not built for lifting". Yeah dude any of us could have told you that. He has terrible form on his own lifts, almost breaks his back on a 185 front squat. Yet somehow he acts like he's some authority on lifting and has to chirp in on every single lift posted ever on how they are all bad and don't count. It's like dude just stick to running and stfu about other people's lifts. No one cares.

He does some terrible cat back hitch DL for 365 and calls himself a savant while in the same breath says Renton's 335 isn't good cause he had a hair out of place.

Shots Fired!

For those that don't know what I'm talking about here are some gems.

Dude bailed out after 1 rep on 185. I posted a video last week doing 225 for 5. But I'm the one with 12 year old school girl lifts? lol


Yes I should be 120 so I can get abs. Not one ab in sight at 188.

I can lift way more than him in every lift, but fake strength due to my bodyweight, oh wait....

Yeah I'm probably not 190.

Still putting up 2 wheels after losing 30lbs. OMG it's fallen apart like you said!


So did the story repeat itself? There are many times when someone lost 30lbs and put up 2 wheels? Show me these countless others you speak of.

He uses a lift I don't care about to gauge how strong I might be on that lift lol.
Let's be honest he's still not impressed now that I've done it.

I'm sure there's more, but you get the point. There's a good reason he didn't even want to make a non-monetary bet against me with nothing at stake. Deep down even he knew what would happen cause he knows he's FOS.

Maybe an ab or 2. If I am 190 ya know.

Again, dude has 0 lifts of his own to speak yet is talking.

A classic.

Oh no, I can't seem to lose weight! I need Loco's knowledge so I can accelerate the process!
