So I'm only going to be able to go to the gym one more day this week (today) b/c we're gong to the mountains this weekend. I still need to hit triceps, chest, and legs for the week, so the plan is to do some kind of crazy chest/legs superset and then burn out triceps afterwards. Thoughts?

 

Put a towel on every machine in the gym and tell everyone you're doing a full gym circuit and to fuck off

 

Doing a night nation 5k at the end of the month. Pre-race party, beer at the end, post-race "rave"

 

You should superset Chest/Tri together. Then do some legs, or do legs first then the chest/tri superset.

Closegrip bench (db or bb) superset with pushups (close grip/reg/incline) will make your arms feel like noodles

 

Anyone up for helping me out with some body fat measurement questions? I've decided I miss a military community and want to commission in the medical field (which I already work in) Anyways I've always just squeaked by BF in ROTC in college and I've been stuck a percent away for a few months now. Each time I go back to lifting I bulk up like the hulk gain weight which is muscle then my body fat shoots up cause my glutes and thighs get bigger. Now I am just running and swimming dropped down in weight and body fat but I in the past few months I have made no progress and I am worried about going back to lifting and bulking up again. FYI I have always been large and in college I rocked a six pack and still didn't make weight so dropping another 25 lbs to make weight I don't think is possible if I don't want to look like a noodle.

 

Lower carb and fat diet?

 

Tried atkins for a bit. I've been eating at a calorie deficit and I lose between .5 and 1 lbs a week as long as I don't weight lift. My runs include interval running 3 days a week and I swim at intervals too.

 

Need pics of glutes and thighs for further evaluation



For real though what are your macros like now

 

I measure my food and drinks daily to stay under 1700 calories a day which has been working weight wise by I'm convinced the weight lose is just muscle mass flying out the window. I'm open to changing up the diet though as I just monitor calories at this time.

 

Height and weight?

 

You're never supposed to ask a woman her weight. What're you thinking?

 

Damn, I didn't even see that... So used to this site being mostly guys..

Apologies @jagergirll

 

Your not supposed to ask chicks for that hah

5'6" 181 lbs

Neck 15
Waist 34
Hips (Army's version) 42

Can't recall all my other measurements they are on my mirror at home.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what's the bf percentage you're aiming for?

 

Despite being perfectly fine with my body as it is I want to cut down another 3 percent.

Army version says I am 35/36 percent max is 34 but their 32 is my goal. That means I need to drop another 6 inches or so between my waist and hips.
