working out late night brings out weirdos and juicers in my area

these dudes screaming and yelling with the steroid gut I'm looking like

then one screams out"whatever it takes bro,anything for the edge!"

The last time I ever tried running outside uphill with a weight vest on was the time when some gym type weirdo started shouting out "GO GET IT!" GO GET IT!!!"

Nothing like getting through sets 2 of 4 and realizing you can’t count and loaded the bar incorrectly

If you lifting heavy please eat enough calories....I'm a broken record but take heed. You will have mood swings and mental fogginess.

talk to me about depletion workouts...do these work? i'm not doing any crazy low carb. but my carbs are about 60-100 day. just trying to drop fat and saw this is a good type of workout to do once a week to really deplete glycogen...do i do cardio after to really burn everything out?

They work to rapidly plummet your body's glycogen stores, thus quickly placing your body in a deep ketogenic state. A potent tool to jump start fat utilization coming from high carb dieting.

But like @The ADD implied, there's no need if you've already been eating low carb for 2+ weeks. Your glycogen stores eventually level out to the amount you ingest. Your 60-100g, combined with training, will create the same internal environment as after a depletion workout. The depletion workout will get you there in a day or two (depending how aggressive you deplete) whereas just eating low carb may take 1-2 weeks. Also, no point doing weekly depletion workouts if you haven't eaten high carb at some point.

We are 53 days into the year and I have run 40 miles so far. I am trying to average 1 mile per day. Knocked out 3 last night on the treadmill and will do 3 more tomorrow outside (50 degrees). I should be right on pace...or beyond by the end of next week.

I switched up my squat stance yesterday and going forward to a wide quasi-sumo stance to make it easier on my knees since I have a hard time focusing on bowing my knees out as I go down. My outer quads, glutes and hams were really feeling it. Knees felt great though. Is this the normal area to feel it at...especially outer quads? Hopefully I get my numbers to the same as my shoulder width stance.

Hammer curls got my forearms looking bulky. I just started doing them a few months ago. I should've been doing them.
