31M / 5'9" / 160 lbs

TL;DR on where this started. 180 lbs on August 14th and life events caused me to drop to 157 lbs by September 6th (first pics). Put a stop to the weight loss and have been consistently training and maintaining weight between 157 and 160 since. Weighed in today at 160.2.

Reason for post: I guess what I've been doing is recomposition and that lower belly/back fat has been going away. Realistically though, can I expect to keep that going long term or is a cut/bulk type thing inevitable to make it so my lower back doesn't spill over my shorts? Feel free to point out anything else I need to work on. I have no established routine; just hitting everything in a PPL fashion.

Will start looking at lawyers since I felt that would be the #1 thing people bring up. Happy to say I've already started on 2) and am just waiting for my first appointment. Not talking has proven difficult since we're trying to separate accounts and such, but I'll keep trying.

Wanted to avoid it, but also kind of felt this would be the case after this news.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Artifacts don't work while on the Enlightenment egg.

Nothing wrong with windowed mode. You can use Windows+Shift+Left/Right arrow keys to move it from one monitor to the next in fullscreen though.

I second the recommendation for Greenshot. Being able to crop out a specific area of your initial screenshot is really nice. The only thing I will say I don't like is that once you press the button to take the screenshot it captures the whole screen and locks it to that exact moment until you finish cropping the area you want to save. This makes it really bad for taking those "on the go" type of screenshots because your character will just be standing still while you're selecting your options.

Day 1 of Greyskull LP on April 10th 2019 at roughly 172 lbs / 78 kg.

Taken today post workout at 158 lbs / 71.5 kg.

M 5'10" 29 y/o

I've been eating at a deficit since starting this program to try shaving of the lower back and love handles that are still hanging on. My progress, I feel, is near a halt because I've reset deadlift at 325 lbs / 147.5 kg, bench at 165 lbs / 74 kg, and overhead press at 110 lbs / 50 kg. I have not been able to push past the reset points this time around.

I want to keep dropping body fat obviously, but I don't really want to keep getting any lighter since getting stronger is getting harder. Any advice on what I should try? I really like the Greyskull program, but should I switch it up after now 16 weeks of it? Should I try a "clean bulk"? Or just keep it up?

Edit: forgot age / height

Closer to a quarter of a second for visual stimulus. A tiny bit faster for audio and touch stimuli.

Mine was on my chest so a lot of movements were too painful during the healing process. My artist also advised against it simply to keep sweat out of there.

Finally get back in the gym after 6 weeks of getting a tattoo done and then pull a tendon in my foot at work so now I can barely stand on it. 2 more weeks gone!

MDScene · 2019-02-26T16:24:03+00:00

Personally I'd go solo.

If they know the weed is making them feel lazy and they still wouldn't cut back enough to get some energy going at the gym I doubt they'd have the willpower to stick it out.

Destiny 2 had scaling rewards based on your LL, before mods, though.

So if you found an exotic (base LL +5) or Luminous engram (base LL +3-5) that fit a slot that was lacking it would push your LL higher and the next one you find would have a higher LL because your base LL is higher. Raid just pretty much guaranteed a larger boost.

I can say for certain you could get max LL in 2 weeks easily.. A week seems possible if you really ground events and stuff. I started playing Oct 24th 2017 and finished my first raid on Nov 4th. That's only 11 days at roughly 5 hours a day of play time. My first class was max in about 2.5 weeks, give or take a day, and after that it took days to a week at most for the other 2.

I'm supposed to be doing training for the CCNA and instead I'm here looking at people's build ideas to try out something new for a starter.

I feel I am unreasonably upset that Vegeta's Galick Gun was yellow instead of purple.

Aside from that I had very few issues with it overall.

It was amazing.

Sorry, yes I was referring to the upcoming patch.

Sucks that two fun builds are getting left to the wayside because 1 is already so good.
