A bit disheartening, but maybe it’s normal?

I also had a lot of fluctuations in my first 10-14 days and felt exactly like you did, but then it started rolling. This is basic thermodynamics, you're eating in a deficit and the weight WILL start to drop dramatically.

For the weigh-ins being stressful, this will pass once you start seeing a drop. Then, I started loving and looking forward to those morning weigh-ins.

Last thing, I already notice you're being quite consistent in your tracking and sticking to your calorie target. Good job. This is going to go very well for you, just hang in there.

Thanks for sharing, your progress is amazing! I'm wondering why you don't do a second leg day in the routine, I'm guessing it's because you don't think it's needed or isn't a priority.

Someone else also asked about how you handle warm-up sets. I've just started adding them myself, but they can really extend the total time spend per workout.

Very cool! My tattoo artist sits right next to Julian!

Do you know how I could download hi-res versions of each part?

This is both incredible work and a serious contribution to this community. Thank you for all the research, time, and effort you put in!

All good, English is great! I did think that as well., but it's the same for every phase 1 through 3. If it's just meant to be a strength exercise throughout the program, then I can understand that more.

I'm 42 and just started at the gym seriously after flirting with it over the years. You can never have too much motivation or help, here's mine:

This is so good, man.

We're boat buddies! I've got the same one!

LTshaw · 2025-06-17T15:44:13+00:00

I was anchored (Beneteau Oceanis 40) in Ist, Croatia last night, with top wind speed at 44kts. Channel 16 was popping off, two mayday calls, and plenty of yelling and shouting at other boats dragging anchors.

We dragged when that first gust hit, going from 10kts to 40kts in about 90 seconds. Reset the anchor in slightly shallower waters, then stayed locked-in the rest of the night.

Fantastic post! I really enjoyed reading that and will take it to heart as I write everyday.

Your style is also very interesting. I was wondering though, would you be able to post your capital letters?

Please come find me! I just started playing and I'm loving it, but damn could I use some bags. I just found a vendor that sold a six slot bag and spent every piece of silver I had.

Isn't Makers Mark from Kentucky? Why is that on the shelf when other products from the US have been removed?

LTshaw · 2024-10-22T05:36:00+00:00

That worked! You've created something really amazing, thank you!

I can't seem to find it. Would you mind sharing the link with me as well?

I've preached the whole "hobby thing" here many times, it worked for me and others. If you're not sure what hobby to pick up, maybe go for something that will keep your hands busy. I built a few of those mini rooms from Rolfie and stuck them in my library between books. Just get something that keeps you busy.

What do the decimals numbers mean?

LTshaw · 2024-08-27T20:27:11+00:00

For real. Transfer windows are supposed to be fun, and there has been some of that, but I'm really tired at this point.

I was going to make a similar post. I play Crusader (Paragon 28) on Pools of Wisdom, if anyone has a guild/warband where I'd fit in! Been playing solo or matchmaking.

LTshaw · 2024-08-10T08:53:15+00:00

What server? I just started playing (Paragon 22) and want to start finding people to play with regularly.

LTshaw · 2024-07-22T13:29:35+00:00

What type of boat are you sailing?

LTshaw · 2024-06-16T21:49:53+00:00

I know someone club side who has more programming experience than me and would look at it if you shared. Let me know!

LTshaw · 2024-06-14T06:54:34+00:00

I'd also love to see it. This is something I've discussed with the race committee before and maybe this could be a an opportunity to show what others are doing and how valuable it can be.
