I didn't intend the thread to be stronk specific. Honesty I hope it can be used as a way for ppl to get advice and motivate each other. So update us Hoff.

P.S. Glad to see the beard's back.

When you lose weight, does the beard shrink as well? Conversely, if you lift, does the beard grow?

The beard does what the beard pleases.

Good to hear!  I'm certainly motivated by this thread, so you've already accomplished something there. 

And thanks!  Glad to have the beard back.

Haha thanks man! My friends is interested in her though. The kid on the bench in the beginning of the video. Plus I don't have time for girls right now. Working, lifting, eating and sleeping is about it for what I have time for.

I demand nightly progress photos Hoff. Shirtless.

I took my shirt off for this pic, just because you asked.

I like how Hoffs beard makes you feel that if you were with him and your car broke down or you got lost in the wilderness that he would be able to build a fire and kill and cook your dinner over it  :))

Coffee has been failing me pre workout for that boost, trying this for the first time today. Can't slack on Bi's and tri's day,

Open to recommendations for pre work out meal/drink my motivation is there but when lifting my energy feels at 0%, it's not over training and my lifts have stayed the same for 3 weeks, I'm lost.

Could it be related to quitting smoking?

How many calories are you eating a day?

That Pre-workout will give you some energy, but if you aren't eating enough calories throughout the day you will feel tired. I usually take a protein shake or some type of protein about an hour or so before I lift every day and then right before my workout I will take some pre-workout and add more creatine.

How long have you been running the same type of lift program? It is usually a good idea to change it up in some way i.e. going from high volume, lower weights to higher weights lower, volume, or change up the plan completely.

I ****ed w C4 for a while then kinda got off pre's for the most part. A friend gave me ON's Platinum Pre and it definitely ups the hype. It's got straight pepper extract in it which makes the last swig spicy as ****. He gave it to me cuz it was lighting is ass on fire when he'd poop, but I haven't had that problem (yet).

You been eating/sleeping enough?

There will never be another jack3d :C...

About Jack3d, that same company made a pre-workout fat burner type stuff that was known to cause liver issues and such, and was related to a bunch of hospitalizations and a death. Found that out after taking 2 tubs of the stuff. Never again.

i eat about 5-6 500 calories meals a day (each meal split into healthy fats/carbs/protein)

my gym day normally consists of...

wake up with a bottle of water

breakfast: PBJ + Ice Coffe mixed in Whey shake
pre workout: Steak egg cheese on bagel
post: Protein/Creatin shake + tuna sandwich or another PBJ
snack: either Metrx meal replace bar or chicken and rice
Dinner: whatever i want that has even protein+carbs
1work break: 2 greek yogurts+Banana
work lunch: 2x 250 cal burritos (25g protein) + Can of Pigeon Peas
home: Bowl of cereal + Casein Shake

my off days consist of the same minus a meal or two

i havent varied my routine up that much could be the problem...

there's also that correlation found between men who take muscle building supplements and testicular-cancer..

Now, the supplements might not be the Cause,  but the correlation means,  SOMETHING in the lifestyles of the men, who take muscle supplements,  is causing greater odds of testicular cancer...


But I guess the upside is,  if you're buff, and attractive,  you get the girl sooner,  and you have kids sooner,  and you won't need your testiculars-no-more...


hahahahahahahahhahahaha

I'm with hoff, I'm not interested in being ripped but I've got to do something.  The older I get the more I look like my dad. No chest muscles then slowly sloping down to a big belly.

I'll have ~1 to 2 hours (8pm-10pm) Monday-Friday when the kids start back to school where I could work something in.

But I don't even know where to start when it comes to working out.

Going to the gym is not a possibility.

You don't even have to put it on a high setting,   just from the extra stimulation, your body will burn MORE calories ALL DAY...

Perhaps, use the extra time you have at the end of the day to -sleep- earlier,    Then that way you can get up just a bit sooner,  to get in the 20 minutes on the xicer bike.

--1.. time wise, there's this whole lead up to getting to the gym, even 10 minutes is 10 minutes, both ways, that's 20 minutes...  vs, exercising at home,  0 travel time..

If you went to the gym every other day,  that's 183 * 20min, that's 61 hours of extra driving time a year..   and it's time you could've used for something else.

--2.. I didn't mean multiple bags,  but the fact that you'd need to pack them at all

--3.. At least a the gyms I've been to, sometimes the machine is occupied

--4.. I might be oversensitive on what constitutes -dirty- people,  but there's this whole sweat smell at the gym,  and more than a few times,  the guys look like their hygiene is not the best..

I seriously cannot wrap my head around pre-workout supplements. I get post-workout, for restoring those nutrients lost/consumed during a workout, is it the same principle? Maybe since I schedule my workouts in the morning, it wouldn't make much sense. Usually I don't even eat before workouts

As a girl I'm not a huge fan they seem awkward and uncomfortable always sweating/smelling and getting Injured. They are not very aesthetically pleasing and while they don't outright repulse me  they also don't do much for me. I don't know about any other females but I could do without them on guys ! Especially the super hairy veiny ones  vomit

Coffee has been failing me pre workout for that boost, trying this for the first time today. Can't slack on Bi's and tri's day,

Open to recommendations for pre work out meal/drink my motivation is there but when lifting my energy feels at 0%, it's not over training and my lifts have stayed the same for 3 weeks, I'm lost.

Could it be related to quitting smoking?

I ****ed w C4 for a while then kinda got off pre's for the most part. A friend gave me ON's Platinum Pre and it definitely ups the hype. It's got straight pepper extract in it which makes the last swig spicy as ****. He gave it to me cuz it was lighting is ass on fire when he'd poop, but I haven't had that problem (yet).

You been eating/sleeping enough?

There will never be another jack3d :C...

About Jack3d, that same company made a pre-workout fat burner type stuff that was known to cause liver issues and such, and was related to a bunch of hospitalizations and a death. Found that out after taking 2 tubs of the stuff. Never again.

there's also that correlation found between men who take muscle building supplements and testicular-cancer..

Now, the supplements might not be the Cause,  but the correlation means,  SOMETHING in the lifestyles of the men, who take muscle supplements,  is causing greater odds of testicular cancer...


But I guess the upside is,  if you're buff, and attractive,  you get the girl sooner,  and you have kids,  and you won't need your testiculars-no-more...


hahahahahahahahhahahaha

i have never met a girl who was stoked on balls, frankly i feel i dont need em. They get in the way and are prone to injury more so than any other organ i has. i could live without balls

As a girl I'm not a huge fan :blank: they seem awkward and uncomfortable always sweating/smelling and getting Injured. They are not very aesthetically pleasing and while they don't outright repulse me  they also don't do much for me. I don't know about any other females but I could do without them on guys ! Especially the super hairy veiny ones  :eek: vomit

But on girls????

  :)) on anything. The only time I think I've ever seen balls and thought something positive was my cat cloud when he was a kitten had cute ones before they chopped them  :eek:

I don't get the big deal tbh, though if they retracted it would make injury less of an issue

I seriously cannot wrap my head around pre-workout supplements. I get post-workout, for restoring those nutrients lost/consumed during a workout, is it the same principle? Maybe since I schedule my workouts in the morning, it wouldn't make much sense. Usually I don't even eat before workouts 

I usually run in the morning and make sure I drink my morning smoothie (whey/fruit/yogurt/spirulina etc)  1 hour or longer before I start my workout or I get cramps. I know some people do it for energy but I am unsure about wether you get better results with supplements/protein etc before or after a workout ? Could someone more knowledgeable chime in on that !?

I was just catching up, but my favorite pre workout is a cup of strong black coffee, with creative mixed in.

Ray, everyone posted great options. All of which will not help without your own motivation. Only advice I can give, and it may sound condescending, but if you want to do it, do it. Nobody can tell you how to make time, but if you can even find 15-20 minutes during the day for bodyweight exercise, that's better than nothing. Over time, that will turn into 30, then 60. I personally do not recommend exercise before bed. You will find it harder to fall asleep, and get worse sleep 9/10 times. Your body needs sleep in order to properly recover. Another thing that will help greatly, is to analyze your diet. If you write down everything you eat for a week, you will quickly realize what would need to be changed. There are many diets out there that work well. I have done Paleo, and gotten great results. I will be switching over to Keto very soon.

Regardless what you end up doing, good luck and let us all know if we can help you out.

When I was seriously lifting, I had this wild dietary program: I ate food. You know, like eat some peanut butter or nuts before I lift. Drink chocolate milk after working out? Remember that? Food?

I don't get protein drinks or casein injections or pre-workout shots or whatever other **** I see at GNC. Someone even told me at work you can't start losing weight and dieting without going to GNC.

Yep can't rely on supplements but if you want to get in certain macros without eating a disgusting amount of food, protein shakes and other stuffs are your friend. Diet is the biggest though. Gotta control portions and such.

The only thing I take, is protein and creatine. Everything else is just a gimmick, imo.

Did you know that companies are not required to list what is in their "proprietary blend."

Yep, it's a big problem in the industry.

I used to make my own pre-workout but stopped recently and started up with C4 again. I have tried Beta-alanine recently that smelled and tasted terrible and just decided to try C4 again for a while until I run out.
