Thanks Steve! Hopefully in a couple of months! I think more boardwork will help my sticky point near lockout.

CARDIO/CORE/WEIGH-IN

Weight: 226.5
Down 3.0 lbs this week.
Down 8.5 lbs in 3 weeks

People are starting to notice the weight loss. It's a bit too fast of course, but I have increased food intake and it's still melting off. I am on IF with a 7 hour feeding window. Diet is gluten-free of course, and is almost grain-free. It is also squeaky clean. (Clean to me means food in it's most natural state).

At any rate, only 20 lbs or so to go.

Cardio
25 Mins Intervals on Elliptical.

I have been doing cardio regularly on non-lifting days only.

Hyperextensions
BW X3
BW X3
BW x3
These did not bother lower back at all.

Standing Cable Crunch
20 lbs X15
20 lbs X15
20 lbs X15

GHR Sit Ups
BW +10 X12
BW +10 X12
BW +10 X12

Vid for fun.
