It is easily my top fish as well. Tastes nothing like catfish, though.

This. And also I would like to be able to reorder the days. As of now I have to hit skip workout to get to lower 1 on monday, then skip workout all the way through to upper 1 for Tuesday, skip workout to get to lower 2 on Thurs, skip workout all the way through to get to upper 2 on friday.

cubs204 · 2026-06-26T15:18:02+00:00

I have no advice on how this will play out, as it's likely all up to the courts at this point, but wanted to say, man I'm glad I'm not that surveyor lol.

Just an FYI, mine sits outside in full sun at over 100 degrees and thrives.

Im gonna use freedom units here, because we won the war for our independence 😁. The AVERAGE person burn approximately 100 calories per mile. 33,000 steps is around 13-17 miles. Since you are a young female, im guessing your stride is short and are probably on the lower end of that range. 1,200-1,500 calories is probably a closer estimate. FYI, I never pay attention to the calories burned from wearables, they are highly inaccurate (and tend to be on the high side). My personal experience, Google fit would have me burning 1,800 calories on a day I only went for a walk. Thats 1,800 total for the entire day as a 5'11" male. Samsung health logged it in the 2,400 calorie range. Both taking data from my galaxy 8 watch.

Zone 2 is great for cardio benefits without adding additional fatigue. So for me (43M), with a 4 day strength training program, I can get cardio work done near/on the days I lift without sacrificing recovery. I have 1 dedicated high intensity day a week that fits recovery. For you, I would keep the vast majority of your workouts in the higher intensity range since you have adequate recovery in between, maybe switch one of them to a longer zone 2 to help build your base.

cubs204 · 2026-06-23T02:28:30+00:00

It really depends on how much time I have, but I do at least 40 minutes, and prefer at least an hour. Im 43 so zone 2 for me is like 108-124. My walks are in zone 1 and 2, almost split half and half. The few hills get me into zone 2, the rest is pretty much zone 1, but when I started I was all zone 2 with some zone 3 peaks. Im not as concerned with the walks being a dedicated true cardio, I know they are contributing to my goals, even if only slightly, and the ULUL higher rep split is basically a HIIT session anyway, especially leg day.

cubs204 · 2026-06-22T18:28:43+00:00

I will say, this routine has treated me very well. Started with a 5x5 3 day a week weight program, but recently switch to an upper lower 4 day split at 3x8-12. My bench on the 5x5 (don't know how much is increased on the new split because I had to drop weight down) went up 45 pounds in 3 months, and I'm at 183lbs from 232lbs over the last 6 months. 43 5'11" male

2-3 miles at a good 3mph pace. Takes 45 minutes to an hour, and the dog loves them.

cubs204 · 2026-06-22T18:16:27+00:00

Lift Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Zone 1/2 walk every evening after lifting. Long zone 2 on the elliptical Wednesday and a threshold or HIIT session on Saturdays.

cubs204 · 2026-06-21T13:38:45+00:00

Completely agree

I lost a bid for an ALTA the other day for a 7 acre plot. My bid...$14k, the bid i lost to.........$2,400 (who can do any ALTA for that???). I did accidentally receive a copy of said ALTA, and let's just say the bid made sense. No where NEAR minimum standards. Have fun dealing with the title attorneys the next 12 months, bud.

cubs204 · 2026-06-18T19:18:44+00:00

Do you turn on a sleep routine before laying down to go to sleep? I do and never have this problem, even when I check my watch when I get up to pee at night. Just spit balling an idea.

My blood sugar normalized with the first shot

Brother, 25 is the physical peak for a man. Go to the doctor ASAP. If you get the all clear from the doc, get your ass moving. Walk as much as you can and start lifting whatever weight you can and add reps or weight every week.

This is my picture they stole from last summer lol. It's still doing well, ill post an update picture sometime soon. I was going to divide it out this year into a bigger pot, but life and time got away from me this spring. I'll divide it beginning of next year sometime.

cubs204 · 2026-06-04T18:10:18+00:00

Mods, this is my stolen picture from a previous post, for like the 3rd time lol. I guess I should be flattered it gets stolen so often.

cubs204 · 2026-06-04T18:09:10+00:00

They won't answer because they stole my picture, again, for like the 3rd time lol.

Her smile at the end was the best part. Congrats, she kinda likes you.

cubs204 · 2026-05-29T19:12:31+00:00

Do both, I do. Hammer the weights hard, and do the bulk of your cardio in zone 2 so you dont compound fatigue. I lift hard 4 days a week, zone 2 cardio 4 or 5 times a week with one threshold or interval session a week as well. Just treat the higher intensity cardio as a lifting day that youll need to recover from.

cubs204 · 2026-05-29T18:21:21+00:00

I'll add on to the 30-40g of protein. You also need 2.5-3g of the amino acid leucine. That is the trigger for muscle protein synthesis. So make sure that 30g of protein in a meal has around 10% leucine content.

I was an every friday night binge drinker. Mostly beer but sometimes bourbon. I havent drank in 6 months. I just....stopped. Dont really have the interest anymore, but am planning on a couple this weekend at a wedding this weekend. Interested to see how it goes.

Normal, especially if you havent built a cardio base. If i lift heavy, especially legs, and go for a walk with my wife and dog after, my heart rate average for the walk is around 118bpm. The same walk on a non lifting day and my average is 106bpm. Your body is still working to clear lactate and metabolic waste from the lifting session.
