I'm not knowledge on any of that stuff at all but from just looking at it, it seems like some performative shyt that is bound to get someone hurt. I don't see why you would want to pop up weight and catch it on your forearms like that in any scenario.

Loaded carries are great. How they are getting them into position is ripe for injury. Someone is going to see this, try it and snap their shyt up.

Training has been good but my diet…….

Got the wife holding me accountable this month and I’m doing the same for her.

For me the biggest issue was drinking on the weekends. M-F I’m usually pretty solid.

What helps me remain in a deficit is having a high protein breakfast (protein shake + boiled eggs/almonds and a coffee) and doing a nice cut of salmon in the evening.

It’s funny how for the last 1.5 weeks I was circulating the same 2-3 lbs then in like 2-3 days, whoosh, all dropped.

Upping my cardio has definitely helped. 4x a week lifting instead of 5x, using Friday for longer runs or boxing. Saturday will be for soccer as usual and I now want to alternate between hiking and cycling on Sundays.

I can tell this next 10-12lbs I cut will really start to show the gains and drop me to the next clothing sizes (trousers and shirts)

I don’t drink really at all. Maybe on a long vacation.

I’ve got a terrible sweet tooth and consume way too much ice cream. We were supposed to lock in all of June but I started last week.

Going to be a long month but it will be worth it.
