The lone squat rack was being taken up by a trio of half-squatting teens/early 20s. It would have been nice to use the rack for some OHP, and from the looks of it I wouldn't have had to do many plate changes for OHP, but I didn't bother to ask to work in. Instead pulled the bar from the floor and did some OHP at 115. LTE's were 90x10x3 followed up by curls 70x8x3
Ended up as a bro day.
Weight is up about a pound and a half from march 31. I would like to think most of that is added muscle, but I feel like I'm eating too much on this stupid 21 day fix diet, and def too many carbs. so
I'm starting to get frustrated with this shit esp. since I feel like I'm eating too much, and definitely too many carbs.

Deetz about the fix diet? It's not what I laid out for you, is it?
Did a superset day for shoulders yesterday. Started with Arnold presses superset with side dumbbell raises. Then I hit some cable presses with front dumbbell raises. Then moved onto upright rows and more side raises. Finished shoulders off with a cable giant set where I start with rear raises, then side raises, then front raises.
Moved on to shrugs after that to transition to back. Hit back with t-bar rows, front hammer pulldowns, and then some straight arm pulldowns.

no, the woman, like all people, wanted something easy after we had the discussion of "we need to start measuring EVERYTHING" She has had a friend that has had great succes with this 21 day fix thing.
you basically eat a certain # of these little containers of your food groups per day, and do 1 ~30 minute video a day.
Since I'm on the obese side its a YUGE amount of food IMHO. And I have like 40 lbs to loose before i'd drop down to the next 'level' based on my weight.
I compared it to the plan you laid out for us and some other research I did. Its ~ the same number of calories as what would be a weight loss restrictive diet, but still about all the carbs and eating more then you feel you need too

I've never cared for sized containers like that for portions since it leaves a lot open to interpretation, but as long as you're still weighing and tracking everything you eat it should be okay. Try the protein/carb ratio I gave you. I really think it'll make a difference.

Skipped monday this week. Tuesday and wednesday worked out in the am and in the evening. Going to lift some after work today.
Stupid disc is throwing me all out of alignment again. Got up to 315 on deads and 285 on squats, but did a crossfit workout with lots and lots of snatches and then tried to squat the next day. Was still warming up with 185 on squat, but with a tired core and tight hips from the day before I felt my pelvis tip forward on rep #4 and pain shoot through my whole back. No real sciatica this time, which is a good sign, but still disappointing with how well I've done the past few months.
Restarting my summer bod mission again tomorrow. Planning to follow a fairly strict paleo diet and get back to a steady lifting routine. I have found that surprisingly I'm a barbell junkie and love all things lifting, so I'm hoping to be able to stick it out this time so I can make some sexy lady gainz!
I'm planning squats, DLs, strict presses, rows, lots of DB and KB stuff, and lots of metcon each week, but any crazy chance any of you do programing or know someone who does? I'd love to try something different this time.

There's definitely some good advice givers here, it's a bit quiet on the weekend but I know they'll chime in.

SAWCE loves to help people out with programming. I'm sure he'll chime in tomorrow.

lady :massles:
I'd be more than happy to help you out. Tomorrow should be a slow day at work so I'll hit you up then.
I'd say 3-4 days per week normally, maybe the occasional 5th day just for the hell of it. Goal is to lose fat and build muscle!
I can't say I want to lose xx # of lbs because last time I was fully committed I kept a steady weight because of building muscle while burning fat. Like I only lost 6lbs but like 15 inches overall. Metcons work for me, I just need a solid "do this lifting after this metcon this day" kinda thing

Gotcha, sounds good. What kind of metcon work were you/are you doing? Like complexes/circuits, or do you have stuff like prowlers and sleds to push around and drag and stuff?
Nothing to drag or push, but my gym has medicine balls, sand balls and bags, kb's, row machines, aerodyne bike, etc. Metcons could be any combo of exercises with those, plus sit ups, burpees, push ups, step ups, etc
