Yeah, options galore when I was in CO, out here rural ok, seems like there's only female fitness stuff. I've got a coworker or two I might start trying to go with. Only online persona we knew about you was the lawyer stuff, first time I think you've mentioned service. Thank you for your service, certainly have kept the being a badass under wraps for a long time. Just stop mogging in this thread I think you're going to make a lot of us feel bad lol.
That's appreciated, but I don't walk around like that. It was after a strenuous ~90 workout so there was extra pump too.Dude, I worked out with guys juiced to gills in the 80s, guys going to the league and your physique rocks. Lots of folks with vitamin S would struggle to get there. You have vascularity in your traps, ffs. My skin has never been that thin, ever. Congrats on winning the genetics lottery. Anyone who can work hard enough to get to this point can figure out how to lose 10-12 lbs; we have faith in you.
Hah! Sorry man, wasn't my intention. To clarify, Cad is our resident lawyer, I just do financial planning in partnership with law firms, CPAs, and RIAs. I should have gone into law, but I missed that boat. You are right about the privacy thing though. I have historically been close to the vest. But, over the years - and thanks to sections of the forum like this - I've decided to open up a little more from time to time and ask questions that I don't have answers to, or share things that might help someone else. I don't 100% agree yet, but my wife says its OK to be vulnerable, lol.
You definitely have the exercise part down. Just eat a little less if you want to drop a few pounds. If you have a pretty regular diet just replace sugar and carbs with roasted or steamed veggies for most meals.
I really don't do any sugar these days aside from occasionally in iced coffee or if I need a cookie after dinner. My issue has been "what has always worked in the past is no longer working", so I fished for new ideas or advice. Its looking like my end game might just be an extra cardio day and cut another 300-400 calories.
It's all good, like I said, not calling you a liar. I'll call you a genetic outlier.
Not entirely, I'm afraid. For the life of me, I've never been able to grow quads and hams to match everything else. They're plenty strong, but I don't think they're proportionally sized. But yeah, aside from genetically high cholesterol, random AFIB, a collapsed soft palate leading to sleep apnea, shrapnel in my left forearm, a replaced left knee and a replaced right shoulder, I'm golden =PIt's all good, like I said, not calling you a liar. I'll call you a genetic outlier.
My bad, thought it was you butthurt and cad all Texas lawyers. Thought I saw you talking about certain judges that blow. Do you cover much estate stuff at all? Or possibly some advising for older loaded people that don't know what to do w/ their money? Might need to buy some of your time trying to get my dad squared away.
There's a thread talking about those a little, I think it was kourishu has one. I'm too uncordinated I know I'd trip and kill myself, probably would be good to have after burning 130 hours in a month or two on crimson desert. Though I do pay for it in sweat, finished a chapter this morning but now I have 2 hours of mowing etc to do in 105 heat index vs having gotten it down first thing in the am.
What kind of cardio are you doing? I actually don't do any cardio at all specifically, I just get cardio through sports. I do HIIT for endurance training but only about 20 minutes/wk. I do it on an off day and just go a treadmill and warm up 5 minutes jogging 6mph, then do 30 seconds at 12mph and 30 seconds at 4mph, back on and off for 12-13 minutes or until I feel like I'm gonna die. Then I go stretch and shower and go home. You can make the max speed lower or higher depending on the equipment you have and your running ability. You can also just do this outside on the sidewalk if you want. Just sprint for 30 seconds and walk for 30 seconds, over and over.
My firm's practice is specifically doing Estate Planning, Business Planning, and qualified plan consultation for high net worth clients. So, I travel the country building, for instance, estate plans for a bank's client, or a wealth advisor's client. Coordinate with those folks, plus law firms to create the correct trusts, assets, and funding for the family.
Its either walking 2.5-3 miles after a lifting session while wearing a 40 pound weighted vest, or using the rowing machine (which I hate, lol). I'd LOVE to play some adult beer league type sports around here like softball or tennis, but I don't have the ability to commit to the schedules.
You could do HIIT on a bike or elliptical you'd just have to really amp the effort up since those are inherently easier. The whole idea is to spend more time in HR zone 4/5, by whatever method that comes. With steady state cardio unless you're a marathon runner you're not going to be able to sustain in zone 4, but HIIT gets you there 10+ times in a 20 minute period. Thats where you make your heart/vo2/endurance gains when your system adapts to that stress.
Well shoot, that's unfortunate to hear. I'm sure you had the same thought as me: "Hey, on at this desk, on this stupid computer for work all the time, I might as well burn calories instead of sit on my ass".
Follow Up: I did some quick Googling and this ranking came up. I've gotta say, the results don't seem encouraging. Too cheap and load capacity is too low for most of them. Makes me think they won't be durable long term.
If you want good motivation go buy some tailored or custom made pants that fit you properly at this weight. They don’t stretch at all so you’ll know if you start to gain again quickly and not being able to wear them will motivate you.
