Worked out 3/4 days of vacay.

Decided I’m doing a 2 a day challenge for July consisting of a mix of cardio, body weight, strength and yoga :lift:

Also got my bae back :wub:

Does your bae workout? :usure:

I always lol when one of my fit homies starts messing with a skinny-fat, no-excercising, can't tell a barbell from a dumbbell-ass chick and then wonder why their gains slowly dip away. :ohhh:

It's cause you wifed up a human slug! :damn:

Brehs I fukk'd up:francis:.

I was down to 10 % body fat about 2 months ago (never measured ,but when your six pack is still ripped even even when taking big deep breaths, ya know)

Anyway the Shutdown hasn't actually changed anything gym wise for me, it actually took up my physique up a slight notch.
I'd always been doing calisthenics, since gyms closed I never stopped exercising at the park, followed or preceded by intense jogging and sprinting DAILY(6 days/7)..
My physique was incredible, even a month ago:takedat:

Now for the fukk up, I aggravated my ankle. It had gotten to the point where if I run on it Monday, I'd barely be able to walk properly Tuesday... I knew I was aggravating the injury by continuing to run, but didn't wanna lose my precious "gains" , I came to my sense and ceased all sprinting and jogging.:mjcry:
Mind I love sprinting and doing intese timed jogs. :wow:

That's helped the ankle heal up tremendously, however my current girl is a great cook and can bake, she makes mean pies(real pies not that crap in America:troll:) homemade pizza's the whole nine.:sadcam:

Now I should point out I'm an intermittent fasting guy. My first big meal is around 11am and my last is at 18:00h, meaning there's 16-17hours of fasting between my last and first major meal.
All this stuff helped clean my gut, helped regulate the feeling/craving hunger, forced my body to breakdown all the food intake etc etc it feels(felt great).:ehh:

Since the ankle injury, I obviously stopped sprinting and intense jogging. So I'm hardly getting any cardio, on top of that my girl had been cooking and baking (with butter) etc and I've gobbling that shyt up like an animal.. Yesterday morning for the first time since last year my stomach had recognizable jiggle of fat on the lower abs:huhldup:.
I almost went into panic mode but I know what needs to happen.

Caloric deficit, train on a fasting stomach, full body exercise, increase intensity and only eat 2 clean meals a day, the last being veges and lots of fluids/water.

I've been doing that the past 2 days.
It's shocking how quickly you can fall off.
Mind you I trained 6 days a week for almost 5 months non stop, I got arrogant in how great of shape I was in.. I knew I shouldn't have been eating pizza's, let alone baked sconnes and all that delicious shyt. :ufdup:

I just came here to confess my indiscretions to gym Brehs. I can post a pic of how ripped I was before vs how I look now.

Breh not having a ripped 6 pack feels like I'm disabled :sadbron:

Also the "ripped" look is very frustrating coz you look great but physically you're actually weaker, having a bit of body fat on you is actually good for you, I'm physically stronger..can gym Brehs explain this phenomena :lupe:

Was in the best shape of my life literally right before the quarantine started. Now I've been set back 30 pounds smh

Gonna start doing calisthenics tomorrow since the parks opened back up.....not the same but gyms in NY probably won't open until next year
I can give you the healthy long way to shed that worthy and the slightly unhealthy way but far quicker results.

I'm a calisthenics Breh so gym closures didn't affect too much
