Best book on Lifting

Quote from twofacedjoker:

To get abs, you need to be very lean. Forget vitamins, extra exercises just for abs. HIIT works best.

I'm slowly coming to grips with that fact ... and my diet will have to be adjusted to get to that result.
 
While it may look good, I am not convinced that this level of extreme definition is actually healthy. The only way to get these six or eight packs is to remove as much subcutaneous fat as possible. And yet, you look at the very definition of what it means to have this fat and it gives you some pause to remove all of it:

why would extreme definition be the goal? only for vanity.

the goal is a healthy lifestyle styled after current nutritional science and longest lived pops.

is your goal to live long and healthy, or to succumb to popular opinion? :D
 
A measly 3 pounds from removing the 8 and turning into a 7. I have three more days to do it, but there is like zero delta of it happening. So I will have to be patient. Maybe one more week.

I was busy this afternoon and I forgot to have my usual oatmeal that gives me a bit of a boost before I workout. So I get to the gym and I am starving. They sell me one of these power bars, and it more than did the trick.

Discovered a trick that has helped me a little bit. In order to intensify my workout, I have had to run/walk/run/walk. The hardest part of running is the toll it takes on my knees/legs. So I tried "fast walking" the way those Olympians do, and I was amazed - I am able to go almost indefinitely in that style without tiring, and the reading on the treadmill is definitely cranked.

I took a picture of myself with my head cut off, but I though better of uploading it since I don't want killer to get all steamy.

I've been doing a lot of peanut butter jelly sandwiches and I have to say that my body is slowly beginning to look like Bruce Lee....that plus the fact that I try to work out for at least 2 hours everyday! :D
