    Beginning of May I was 262 lbs and knew I needed to change something because I was no longer happy with being complacent about my weight and physical appearance.

     

    Made complete changes (in intervals) to what I eat, how I eat and the quantity of food I eat. I haven't touched fast food since I started and I can honestly say I don't miss it. Me and the wife meal prep our lunches for the week and alternate cooking healthy dinners.

     

    I play hockey 2-4 times a week and ride my bike every chance I get. Been going to the gym on weekends but have been slacking on that the last couple of weeks.

     

    Proud to say I am now at 220 lbs and feeling much better about myself. I get compliments all the time on how I look (not why I did this life change but still nice to have people recognise my hard work). I am at a weight now where I am shifting my focus from weight loss to sculpting my body. Need to start hitting the gym at least 3 times a week and get into a new routine.

     

    So far so good and I hope this continues for me.

     

    And to all of you who are working on themselves I wish you luck and hope you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself.

    nice work! Always remember its not about the number on the scale. It's about body composition. You can be maintaining the same weight but be losing fat and gaining muscle mass! 40 pounds is incredible!

    A ratio over two seems like a lot to me.  I'd be waaaay off that benchmark as well.  

    I know a lot of guys work towards a goal of 300/400/500.  I used something around those ratios for my own training, so my deadlift should be around 1.6 times what I can bench.  I can max bench 265lbs, but my deadlift is only at 405lbs, so I'm still pretty far off my own standards.

     

     

    The ratio shouldn't be between bench/squat/deadlift but between your bodyweight.

    Have to admit my numbers are more for hockey players than serious lifters but a ratio of 2 to 1 for DL over press was pretty common at training camp.   I was more of a lower body guy so my squats were off charts ratio and my BP fairly modest given that I am a tall guy

    easier to pull with bad form than to press with bad form

    Lol.

     

    Pats played really bad tonight, though I can't imagine it stays that way throughout the season.

    It was only this morning I was reading an article about how they were poised to finally have their 19-0 season though.  Maybe next year.

    Defensive injuries and the lack of knowledge of the playcalling of the patriots d led to the poor play of the patriots d. Score 25+ on kc and you'll win all the time

    Be careful that it is not an infection but I do  know a few dudes I have played with that had a crack on either the cuff or the other side and it was hardly noticeable even on MRI as statically it only showed as a hairline but in dynamic motion it would grab and open up.    Either way, just be careful as shoulders, knees and hips - we treat them like crap for the most part and they are not that easy to fix.

    crack the cuff? The cuff is made up of 4 muscles. do you mean cracking the humerus or the clavicle or a crack in the fossa of the glenohumeral joint?
