Thats a really good pace. Whatever your doing is working and working well.
Good job. Use what works until it doesn’t, then you can reassess.
Thank you! I went and tried jeans. When started weight loss I was in a 46 waist 34 inseam. Today I almost fit in a 38 waist 32 inseam. Decided to just buy one pair of 40-32 jeans. (I’m short legged, I’m 6’5" I have to find “Tall” shirts)
My hope is that this spinal implant will allow me to walk like I use to and walking again for exercise. But just losing weight will be very helpful.
Thanks to the L1tech show I had my implant changed. I was about to get a Stimwave implanted. Talked to my Doctor and we thought it would be best if we changed manufacturer. I just didn’t feel comfortable having a companies device implanted that has filed for bankruptcy.

Did two workouts yesterday- arms resistance training, sauna, then later in the day some muay thai. I might actually be able to keep a tempo like this up, I think the key will be to not use the same muscles/ proper time isolation between muscle groups.
I don’t know much of anything about two-a-days, if it will be too hard on my cardio or other groups that possibly get overworked- going into uncharted waters here for me.

More cardio. Still trying to improve core strength also.
Nice to see the time spent in “zone 4” creeping up there a bit, and to have another one of those “this would have kicked my ass a few months ago” moments.
It still kicked my ass, but still.

Im for sure not meeting the nearly 1gram protein per pound of body weight target when trying to build mass, recomp or loose weight/cut. For convenience i bought some bottled stuff (probably a bad idea, its probably some industrial waste level dairy byproduct) and pasteurized egg whites. I take a big sip of the “shake” and the add egg white, shake it up and go. IMO the egg white actually improves the taste.
