Wow, that week off killed me. Did 60min on the elliptical and felt good. thought the week off gave me a nice rest thinking I'm going to kill it on the weights. Thought I'd throw up the 95's since I felt good, WRONG:-). Struggled on dumbbell bench flat and incline. Struggled to get the 70's up for flat and 55's on incline. Did some flat and incline flys, not too bad. Finished off with some cable work for lower chest.

Maybe because Monday is my chest day and Tuesday is my shoulder and bi day :-)

I'm starting to think this weight loss is BS, I was a fat guy that could throw up some weights no biggie. I'm fat, I'm strong :-). Now just chubby and need to work even harder to just maintain some sort of strength :-).

Bah, just venting; shouldn't be thinking this way.

It's tough when you have to keep taking time off for injuries and other factors, Greg, but it's just in your blood, you gotta come back. Be patient and get healthy and you'll throw 'em up like that again. ****, maybe I can get you a tryout with the Bears. :-)

Thanks Tom! I guess it's just getting to me mentally, I know what I am capable of but having the hernia is keeping me back; no big deal I can live with that. It's the knowing what I can do, right now, but having these weak spells is killing me. I could under stand not being able to push up 5lbs, maybe 10lbs after taking rest but 20lbs and still having trouble is what killed me.

I'm averaging 4lbs - 5lbs loss a week, and I'm pretty sure my body is eating up muscle like crazy trying to save itself, so that's probably not helping.

You will get it all worked out, Greg, it's hard not to get a little frustrated when you can't do what you know you're capable of doing, but it will come.

Leg day coming for me, maybe some shoulders if I have enough gas.
[Reply]

What do you expect you donkey? A crazy deficit in calories will lose body fat and of course muscle mass.

In time, you'll get it back.

How much longer is this liquid diet crap?
[Reply]

Huy gets straight to the point. I can dig that. :-)
[Reply]

I think i introduce solids just before Thanksgiving.
[Reply]

I think you will continue to see fat loss as well as decrease in muscle mass.

I already told you what I think of these liquid diets and other diet fads.

BUT if its the result you're expecting/enjoying, more power to you. I would never tell anyone that they are wrong for bettering their health. So sorry, if any of that came off that way. Only love bro
