are you active in any kind of sports? aerobics, gym, football, basketball, tennis etc?
do you have any goals, achievements?
me: i used to be a 'powerlifter', made some impressive weights to my age. currently been out of powerlifting for a year due to combat army. serving in the field for a year, with 2 years left, so i'm mostly aerobic active with long runs and sprints. hoping to get back to iron one day again...

gym sometimes when i dont have hockey game or train.
i achieved something in my youth. not that important tho.
Stats?
Im going to attend my first competition this year or very early next year when the new season starts.
Lowbar-squat 1x190kg
Highbar-squat easy 6x140kg
Narrow grip bench press 1x110kg
Deadlift 3x190kg / 1x200kg(...)
Also this. I hate paying for transport. :D
couldn't resist, where's pc and press?
I have never done power cleans since I had no-one to teach them to me and I felt they were a waste of time to learn by myself. Olympic lifts do fascinate me though.
For press, I know for a fact it hindered my bench-progression badly. I only do shoulder presses whenever Im training for muscle mass / strength base AND not doing heavy max lifts.
you shouldn't pass on PC, and for press it sounds weird. do you follow a specifiec training method? (texas, madcow, pendley etc)
I have heard that power cleans help deadlift so you must be correct. I still dont feel Id gain anything for doing them. My weak point is the first 10cm off the floor. :D
And yeah, strong shoulders are needed for a good bench max. Fellow lifters in my gym have criticized me for having really weak shoulders. (this shows as the whole shoulder starts to shake when reaching nearly maximal weights and above - in bench press)
Planning on doing some footing 5days/week
- Football 1-2x a week
- Gym 3-4x a week when my shoulder gets better
Plus I don't have a car and hate public transport, so I end up walking to uni and shops. Adds up to at least 4-6 km a day.
No goals, just lose some more weight (90 kg till april) and get in shape.
However, I'm currently stuck at 100kg since summer pretty much but I know the reasons so I don't see a problem in that.
As you can see, the months I lost most weight were always the first half of the year. That's because there are basically no holidays! In the summer holidays I took things slow, beer, bbq, party -> Gained 5-10kg everytime again. The next 2 months were used to lose them again, then the christmas crap comes along, so another month to lose that. Now I'm right infront of the holiday free months, easy peasy.
E: But please, if you got more knowledge or insides, let me know! I'm always interested in other ways or improvements!
You cut off the excess skin yourself?
I'm still far from an ideal shape and my goal, but I guess I will end up with quite some excess skin at some body parts (belly mostly). So I probably have to see a surgeon about it in some years. Will see how it develops with sport and training :-P
Not enough sports? Wrong nutrition?
I'm 100% aware how to lose weight, I'm 100% aware of all the diets out there and their routines and the bullshit that comes with them. In the end it's calories in vs calories out and hitting your macros for optimal recovery and growth. Some have great success with Keto, others with IF, others are even eating junk all day long plus their protein shakes and still have success. Strange, isn't it?
I could have lost the rest of my weight already, yes. Eating just vegetables and a pound of chicken per day.
Easily? No, because I still like to enjoy life and enjoy food and drinks even if that means it will take me longer.
i don't know about you, but eating a lot of meat as a part of a diet is a great way to live
Also there are studies that show that fit overweight ppl are healthier than skinny non fit ppl. And considering my sport routines, I would definately put myself in the first group.
Why should I change anything? I'm in pretty good shape considering my weight, I'm energetic as hell and totally enjoy life right now. And on top of that, I'm still losing weight, even with eating carbs.
By the way, studies means shit. Your paragraph about overwight and healthy shows me you are very innocent( nothing related to the topic)
Good luck urtier
76 kg in 3 years, 25 kg per annum, is pretty good. I lost 25 kg the last year as well, and ofcourse I could've lost more if I wanted too but the changes in lifestyle would've been too drastic to be living comfortably.
25kg per year ends up in 500g per week and considering my "off" days can easily add up to 3 months in total, I think that's ok :p
Gratz on your weight loss btw!
I'm not alone, thanks bro! :)
Beer lifiting twice a weekend.
also i was playin football, didnt really achive anything bcoz i was playin a streetfootball with friends
I'm seriously considering doing more sport this year, because I drink too much, eat too much craps and, as I'm getting older day after day, my body's getting mad after me everytime I go up the stairs..
