    Alright... here we go. Y’all help me here. My goal is to Lean back out and then put on some weight as cleanly as possible. I’m pretty good at cutting, but I’ve never successfully gained weight without getting too fat too fast. For now, y’all just bitch at me if I don’t check in.

    Anyway, I’m tired of being fat right now so I’m going back to deficit. I have no idea what I weigh right now because I’m still on vacation and don’t have scale. I’d guess 180ish is a good guess.

    Starting macros will be 175P 215C 65F. That’s a very comfortable diet for me. I’ll ride that until all this bloating from a week of beer and food goes away. Then I’ll start chipping carbs and a fats away.

    I am running a full PL program right now. I find it pretty easy to hang on to my strength during a cut if I time my carbs around my workouts.

    Right now. Last day of vacay. Currently drinking a beer.

    This was January at 160. Looking to get back there over the coming months.

    Hell yeh.

    Thanks guys!

    I want to add a rowing machine but I only have so much space.

    No competitive bodybuilding for me. Even when I was going to Golds my workout was primarily compound movements as I follow more of a strength/power-lifting routine. I did want to get those dumbbells for incline and seated military press. An EZ curl bar would be nice to for the occasional curl and skull crusher. Definitely want to get a plyo box for box squats and jumps. Also want to build somewhat of a platform for so that I don;t destroy my garage floor with my weakling deadlifts.

    Jeez, wish I looked like that at 160. I'm 157 right now, twiggy ass mofo, with a lil gut. Keep it up mate, the folks here are good motivators, they'll help you along the way.

    I’ve pretty much tapered off the diet, been stuck at 213lbs for the past couple weeks. I look like I lift, arms are pretty vascular and lost most of my love handles. I’m happy where I’m at right now. (Lost 22lbs since 1st of June).

    Many of the rowing machines break down in to 2 pieces for storage. I will snap a pic of mine broken down later this afternoon for you. It doesn't take up a lot of room. That was my initial concern with getting mine as well was space, but it really doesn't take up much room at all, and the breakdown process at least on my Concept 2 is incredibly easy. Like sets up and breaks down under a minute.

    The plyo box I built myself, I can find the instructions/plans that I used to build mine. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Oh that's awesome. Although I just looked up the prices of the concept 2 and I doubt I will be dropping that kind of coin. I would definitely like the plans for the box though. Thanks!

    The Concept 2's are NOT cheap. They're the rowers that all the 24 hours, and big gyms use. There is other rowers that breakdown in a similar fashion for storage though. Look up the Stamina X rower, I was debating getting that one but decided I would rather spend the extra coin for the Concept 2 because I know it'll last a very long time.

    I will look for the plans and post them for you later today. If I forget just PM me and remind me
    That is a very old model. The newest models are the D's and E's. I have the D, the E sits slightly higher to make it easier to get on/off if you have issues sitting/standing. I don't know how that Model B will hold up over time as it's already likely quite old. You can get a brand new Stamina X rower for 300-400 I believe.


    edit: I almost got this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Stamina-X-...ds=stamina+x&qid=1564167052&s=gateway&sr=8-14

    C2s resale value is about as good as a Toyota. I owned two for 7 years and sold the pair for 1500.

    No shit. I was looking on craigslist for a used one and could not find one for less than $200 under what a new one cost. So I said fuck it, for only 200 I get brand new so I got a new one

    That price tag of the C2 and my amateur entry in trying to get healthy is what caused me to lean towards my Stamina rower. I love the machine, and it does great, but the C2 is definitely built for the industry and a lifetime of use. Glad to hear it worked out for ya though @uhplifted and that you're getting good use out of it. With how hard I try to row at times I'm sure I'll break my machine before your C2 even starts peeling a sticker.

    But the folding style machines save tons of space, best feature of them, wouldn't buy one that didn't.

    You look too small at 160. Hang around 180 for another couple of weeks and let your body get rid of the shitty bloat water weight and you’ll look way better than you do now.

    Hell, at 160 you may be smaller than Gid.

    I had money left over from an insurance payout so I bought my C2 rower and a new Olympic lifting bar and 425lbs of bumpers.

    The rower is in the spare bedroom and I just lift it up when I’m not using it.

    I split the cost of the C2 with my girlfriend which helped the pain. But between the two of us, the thing gets used almost every day. Definitely was a great purchase and glad we ended up spending the extra money to get it. It has been great so far. Need to get some oil for the chain though to keep it lubed up. I'll have to check the total distance on there but I'd venture to guess we're close to 50k already in the about 2 months we've had it. 3.5 of those weeks I couldn't even use it due to my concussion.
