Lifter problems

[AdamJ]

Some interesting reads above. I have gone from 61kg to 74kg in 8 months and that's pretty much from having 3 consistent meals a day. I find my progress is massively hindered by drinking beer on a Friday, as I then won't train on the Saturday (chronic hangover sufferer, ask Al  :D) and end up eating shit like takeaways!

Haven't had a beer in 21 days and have beaten my deadlift and squat PB this month.

@UnTucked you seem blessed with a sweet metabolic rate!

The @UnTucked diet plan replaces black coffee with beer. It still works.

My great, great, great grandfather was Adonis….. Or, so I've been told, lol!

@Adam:

Life's all about balance, and that is not the end of the scale I want to be on 

[UnTucked]

But at the end of the day if you can’t snatch your body weight, do you really even lift, bro?

I like jerks more than clean and snatches…

I’m just starting to lift. I did BJJ three times a week combined with a modified Keto w/ a 7Pm-noon fast and dropped from 298 to 208 in a year.

I’m now adding in some carbs and doing a more balanced diet while lifting to see if I can continue to burn fat stores while increasing strength/muscle. Did my first session with a strength/conditioning coach on Friday.

Awesome progress Joe - who did you go with for a S&C coach in San Fran?

There’s a couple of guys at my Jiu jitsu gym I’m working with, Pedro Lima, who trains at World’s Gym, is who I worked out with Friday. Jason Cook,  owns CrossFit PH, and is trying to get me in his gym. I’m thinking a six week strength cycle with Pedro, followed by a 6 week strength/cond with Jason.

@joesaintjohn I see that you're half two-thirds the man you used to be!

Congratulations on the weight loss. That's a big drop, and you're looking good. Shame you're now going to have to spend a fortune on replacing your Iron Heart gear to fit your new, svelte frame.

[JDelage]

Congrats @joesaintjohn ! If you're already doing BJJ, you might not need the conditioning on top of it. BJJ is already a near perfect HIIT workout and conditioning is brutal. I would do a couple slow paced 40mn endurance sessions a week.

[joesaintjohn]

@JDelage that’s what I’m thinking. My BJJ gym has a brutal warm up and class pace. I’ve been doing some jogging/stairs at a stadium down from my house once a week. Really, I think strength is where I need focus. I competed last weekend, and recognized it was a weakness of mine, no pun intended.
