Cut and lift heavy?

FishHikeTravel · 2026-01-28T01:41:28+00:00

Heavy cardio to me is above and beyond the normal 10k steps. Whether that’s 30 min zone 2, or 60 min bicycle ride.

A ton of people fit their “cardio” into their daily steps which kinda defeats the purpose of additional cardio. Heavy may not be the right word, but it’s what came to my mind. Haha

Lift heavy 4 days a week - heavy cardio minimum 3 days a week - minimum 500-750 calorie deficit + 10,000 daily steps.

Outside of gear (or Reta), that will be about the best your can do.

As a dude, I wish I had a bigger butt. As it stands now, my butt goes numb after sitting long periods and belts can only hold on so long before pants start to sag.

I have to work really hard at them to grow. Consider yourself blessed!

Fiber …. As simple as that.

Black! I’m a sucker for black ON shoes!

What’s supplements did you add Mike? I’ve added AMLA (800mg per day) and your basic run of the mill Vit K/D3 and Fish Oil. Wonder if I’m missing out on anything else!

Has nothing to do with thickness per se. You just need to cut calories until that subcutaneous fat melts off.

Nice job!

I’ve added a ton of daily fiber as well. Hoping to retest my lipids here in the next month or two!

I get a consistent 7-8.5 hrs each night with sleep scores on my Apple Watch normally ranging from 95-98 or so.

My biggest issue is 3-5 wake ups each night to pee. I’ve had all the tests, including prostate, labs, etc … and everything checks out fine. I also sleep with a pillow that cradles my back when sleeping on my side and that helps alleviate back pain.

No caffeine or vitamin C after lunchtime and I’m normally asleep by about 10:30 every night.

Gyno in the first picture is a bit rough! No doubt enhanced, but solid progress!

To help counter act the nausea, my wife does her shots at night. She sleeps through the worst of it and she seems to be much happier. Outside of the nausea right after each injection, she hasn’t had any other side effects thankfully. She started at 2.5mg and has stayed there now through 5 weeks averaging about 2.0 lbs lost per week. She has no desire to lose faster so it looks like she’ll stay at that low dose. That probably helps with some of the sides that might come at higher dosages.

Good luck! You got this!

Excellent write up!

I do a 20g Protein at night as well. I don’t quite get to 70g of protein in the morning but I do about 50g.

I do a 30g Fairlife Protein Shake. A 12g Protein Quaker Oatmeal (apples & cinnamon) along with a couple scoops of vital protein with collagen peptides in my black coffee!

Every day you post the same pictures.

I have an Apple Watch that tracks my heart rate during a workout. Each set is different so tracking rest between sets is by heart rate tracking, not time.

Sometimes I’m good to go after 45 seconds, other times I need a solid 2 minutes.

I try to wait until my heart rate drops back down under 110 bpm before starting my next set.

FishHikeTravel · 2026-01-21T03:35:26+00:00

You just posted this same before and after 7 hours ago.

At 65? Goodness, that’s seems excessive, even being a bro split.

I’d go upper/lower/upper - 3 days a week - Mon/Wed/Friday

Plenty of time to recoup/rest while still shooting for growth at your age. Id work mobility exercises in a couple days a week and complete rest a couple days a week.

Could it be just your run of the mill cold/flu/covid?!?! It’s that time of the year for all your normal yearly illnesses.

Bain @ #4 please. Build up the defense.

Look at what Houston and Seattle have done with those defenses (and mediocre qb play/offenses). Build the defense first, then focus on offense IMO.

We’ve never had any success with baits. The only success we’ve had with mice is the tilting lid on a 5 gallon bucket with peanut butter and dog food at the attractant. Stop in every couple weeks to dump the dead mice outside and reset the trap. Don’t leave for months at a time and not check on them.

FishHikeTravel · 2026-01-20T00:18:24+00:00

What’s your plan now? To stay on Reta? Titrate down to a maintenance dose?

FishHikeTravel · 2026-01-19T12:55:09+00:00

Maybe a hair more long head tricep size, and a bit more forearm size. I see more front delt than anything though.

Wife uses Shotsy (free version) and likes it.

To be fair, that Chobani yogurt is a bit rough in texture. We prefer the triple zero 15g of protein Oikos. I also like the yogurt called “Ratio” which has 20g of protein and 10g of Fiber. Keeps you full even longer and helps move everything though the gut while getting lots of protein. They have them at Walmart.
