I start a biggest loser contest at work today. To get the most % weight loss any suggestions for the next 30 days?

Did it a few months ago, except it was a 90 day team challenge. I lost 9 lbs. and 1 inch off my gut. Overall, my group of four collectively lost 40-some pounds and I think 9 inches. All we did differently was play racquetball after work.

I stumbled across this workout plan, and I've done two of the workouts so far. Pretty good stuff. It focuses on abs but hits most other areas as well. I just need to catch up on the cardio part.

I don't belive in anything that doesn't involve bench press

But yeah, got to do cardio man! It's amazing when I see these fat people coming to my gym and doing weights or abs and ignore cardio. I've stopped running (giving my knees a break) and started doing the stair climber 20 minutes before every workout. I think it's actually tougher than running. But if you're looking to get abs quickly, take some anavar, that stuff will shred you up in no time. Plus it's what's left out of the article when the author says this is what body builders do leading up to a comp.

But seems like a solid workout plan, I enjoy doing full body workouts vs one muscle group a day.

yeah, I get great cardio playing pickup basketball a few hours a week, but if I did solid cardio 6 days a week my BMI would get real low.

i hit a brick wall at the beginning of may due to work and gearing up for going overseas. i had planned to run and pay single-workout gym fees while in vietnam, but that went all to hell and i only got in one proper workout the entire time i was going. then i came back home and found my job in absolute shambles and i've had to spend the past month trying to stabilize everything.

this is my second week back in the gym since then. i've lost probably 20% of my gains since the end of april. sucks.

When I started lifting I didn't take it seriously. I only cared about arms and bench and didn't even try at other lifts. I quit for a long time (approx 1.5 years). I started lifting seriously this past January. 

When I started I couldn't squat 135 correctly, and could barely deadlift over 150 pounds. 

Today I went for a max of 315 on deadlift. I've tried it twice before and failed both times. Both days I was really bummed out. 

I won't lie I was really nervous. I had a good warmup and was able to pull it....five fuging times. 

I am on cloud 9000000000000 right now. 

Sorry I had to tell someone.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.

      I mean, first of all, I'm not the one who initially said he was a life long fan, it was in that tweet in the OP. But more importantly, "life long fan" is a relative term, especially for a franchise like the Panthers.  I think anyone who was say, 10-12 or younger when the franchise started, and been a fan since the start, could claim to be a life long fan. I'm 38, been a fan of the team since year 1 even though I'm not even from the Carolinas, after almost 30 years of fandom and following them since the beginning, I have no issue saying I'm a life long Panthers fan. Very possible his dad is say around 40 years old and been a Panthers fan since the start.  And even if he's a little older, if you're a fan of a team for 30 out of your say 45ish years of life... that's "life long" in that instance.
