Just catching up on this thread. I will say this, I work out a local YMCA in a smaller town. There are maybe a few guys there that are on juice.... I dont give a fuck what a person looks like as long as they are busting their ass in the gym. I love to watch people work hard regardless of where they may be in their physical fitness. Its motivating to see hard work and change on any level. I have no time for whiners and excuse makers however. Kill it... Eye of the Tiger baby...

In the wake of last night's uproar, I want to say thank you for the encouragement, but even I will say that the "doing great" (present tense) some of you have posted is being over-generous. I do have a lazy streak, I do have a weakness around fattening foods, I often need a good verbal butt-kicking to get me motivated again, and these past few months have been weak sauce at the gym. I don't deny any of that. My objection was only to Huxy2's flagrant put-down. It was not encouragement, it was not exhortation, it was not even a rebuke designed to motivate. It was just an insult.
If you want to exhort or rebuke me, go for it. I can handle it, and you don't need to walk on eggshells around me. I don't believe in "safe spaces". But we should all be posting to push forward, not push down.

Just heard about this bullshit. Keep doing what you're doin bud hang in there. If you need help with diet or anything just ask. Making fun of people in the gym trying to get into shape is like making fun of sick people at the hospital. You seem to be a genuine person you're welcome on our subforum anytime bud. Keep up the good work bud you'll get there

11/1/2016 :: November kicked off beautifully! I got in a morning jog, weighed in at 237.8 (high but dropping), kept the eating under control all day (even managing to resist nearly every piece of Halloween candy lying about the house), and spent the evening pushing through a tough (for me) chest workout. I even got in my post-workout cardio because (drumroll) my main gym is now 24-hour access! I didn't have to rush to finish! Oh, life is so good right now!

Nice brother keep up the hard work! Don't slip on diet remember one day a week you can go all out on a meal and it will be worth it. My offer is still there to help with diet and workout if you stick to both 100%.

Not bad, Tiger. Kill the temptation to eat candy and just continue to eat a clean solid diet. You are making progress just stay the course!

11/2/2016 :: As I write this, I am resting from a day where I not only had to get up four hours earlier than usual for work (I'm assuming the usual opening-shift cashier took the day off to do something else), but spent at least half of my shift feeling weak, slightly dizzy, and generally run over. I don't know if I'm catching something or if it was just an extreme attack of Lack of Sleep. If I do my scheduled Back workout, I may keep it light.

11/3/2016 :: For the first three days of November, the score is Gym: 3, Excuses: 0. I am just in from doing Shoulders, and feeling good. My body is increasingly finding ways to remind me that I'm in my 40's, but I pushed past the little aches and pains to complete the prescribed workout. I'm not sure the scale will feel as good tomorrow, as we celebrated my wife's 42nd birthday with cheesecake tonight.

11/4/2016 :: Four for four! Okay, more like 3.5. Between two jobs I was on one clock or another from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., so I didn't really have much energy for tonight's Arm workout. And I forgot to print out the prescribed "Time to Grow" plan for the day. But I did get to the gym and put in about a dozen sets of exercises, biceps and triceps, before heading home to type this and go to bed.

11/13/2016 :: I was going to try to fill in the missing entries since November 4th, but they aren't fascinatingly interesting. For November, the score so far is Gym: 7, Excuses: 4. I thought about a separate category for legitimate gym absences (I was traveling on two of those days), but then that might make it easier for me to make illegitimate excuses. Every gym absence on a day that was scheduled to be a gym day will be considered an excuse, to present the worst picture possible to myself.

12/5/2016 :: I have laid out the calendar for the rest of December, specifying which "Time to Grow" workout takes place on which day. I am off to the gym for Legs #2! (I hate Leg Day! UGH!! Especially under the tutelage of Ryan John-Baptiste, who will have me crawling into the locker room at the end!!!)
