I feel like salads are a waste, especially if you're trying to gain any kind of muscle mass.  There is very little nutritional value in most green lettuce, and the salad dressing most people use is really lacking as well.  Just my opinion.  Brown rice/quinoa, Brussels sprouts/broccoli/asparagus, and protein with some cottage cheese/greek yogurt on the side should get you through an entire week of lunch.  Protein bars [the low carb variety] for snacks.  And do egg whites on a bagel/english muffin for breakfast.  As for dinner, just go easy on carbs at night.  If you REALLY want to cut your weight, start eating only 1600 calories a day and doing cardio 5 days/week.  You will drop a TON and fast.  Won't gain muscle that way, but it's the best way to get rid of belly fat if that's your sole goal.

I love broccoli, but not uncooked broccoli. Cooking it, however, rids it of most of its nutritional value. So, I just throw raw broccoli into my salads and make sure its wrapped with lettuce or other vegetables when I eat it. 

 

If I could wean myself off huge breakfasts, I think I could slim my midsection down considerably. I've successfully cut down portion sizes for other meals and have eliminated snacks completely (save for the occasional bag of baby carrots I buy for snacking when I know I won't have much going on).

 

I had a weird cold this past week and today was my first day in the gym since last Saturday. I feel like I've lost months of progress in one week.

Oatmeal and fruit a few days a week coverage the big breakfast.

My friend from the gym Erin that I posted earlier this week got 2nd in her weight class at the meet today, she pulled 285 on dead, did 280 on squat and 175 on bench for a total of 740 at 140lbs.

Stoked for her, she's been working hard.

I'm deadlifting tomorrow and hopefully I can pull a new PR. I've felt pretty good this week.

Play the cards you are dealt. Just walk for 30 mins or jump rope. Do something small rather than wait to lift.

I dont have much belly fat but there is enough to cover up my abs just a bit still and shredding this last bit so I can have defined abs has been impossible it seems. I run so much too, many hills. If I flex I can see the outline of my abs but not quite. What do I gotta do to get a ripped core without having to do sit ups and poo I hate sit ups and floor exercises

I too try avoiding sit ups and crunches because they aggravate a back injury.

 

One key thing to remember if you're trying to isolate your abs is that they are relatively small. You can exhaust them quickly, but they also recover quickly. Otherwise, one key concept is to always contract your abs no matter what you're doing. Try lowering your stance and staying contracted while sprinting up a hill. Oddly, most people clench their jaws while running; concentrate that energy on contracting your abs. Sitting behind the wheel? Contract and relax. Contract and relax.  The best part is it honestly doesn't take long once you get in the habit.

I know how you feel. I was a skinny guy without much time on my hands to do much due to work. Got home tired and was difficult to get back out to the gym. Know what I did, I got 200lbs adjustable weights from Amazon and a bench from walmart. I have my own little place at home where I hit those weights and I have made so much progress. Maybe I will post some pics but yeah. You've got to make it a lifestyle and don't fret about how long it was since you last got to the gym. Any progress is progress. #keeppounding

I figured giving guys the bums rush would be very strenuous

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
