2026 Losers Club

Migrated this to Off topic as it's quickly turning into a fucking C18 thread with Jake posting full body shots.

13 weeks straight of gym 4-6 days a week... Diets been pretty locked in. Probably not eating enough but have pretty much eliminated all the "keto friendly" shit I was eat non stop mainly Tortillas and bread. Probably put Mission out of business. Been trying to make a large portions of meat on the smoker or Sous vide each week to eat through out the week. Days I'm not hitting the the gym I have been doing the Thursday Night MTB group ride and playing hockey on Sunday.

A few PRs for me this am
put up 10 with 50lb dumbells on military press on my last set for first time
hit 165 a few reps on decline bench. then dropped back to 135 to finish up to get to 10. Quest for the 225 this year.

Still a long way to go but progress is progress.

Over and out.

Rad buddy, I need some 50lb dumbells for the house. And I need to start picking the weights up more regularly. I got on the rower for 30 min yesterday and my lower back is telling me I need to do it more often.

Still missing @desert_steve and @FlyByRacing weigh in's. Don't make me come over there. 😁 Even if you gained it is good to put it out there and be accountable for it. It will make you work harder next week (this week).

As of todays pre-bathroom trip weight, Im sitting at 227.8lbs. @Cleandezert was encouraging everyone to eat as many cookies as possible over the weekend...

seeing you fatsos get your rear into gear is motivating me (not weight loss, just overall strength/endurance). Went out back and did x3 sets 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 30 hanging crunches. First time moving aside form mtb in a long time, and pretty crazy to see the asymmetry from my right and left sides.

I have never been good with pull ups. And now with my shoulders being wrecked, I doubt I will be doing any any time soon.

I've been pretty solid with them, even weighted. I did a few sets of dips as well but my bars are too far apart and it was hurting my sternum? Good thing I know a guy with a grinder and welder

Figured I'd check in with some goals met. I've been riding the Peloton bike and lifting weights off and on but decided to make a more consistent effort since the beginning of the year. In less than a year I've done over 100 rides with 720 miles ridden. I've done over 50 lifting only workouts, and nearly 50 running plus lifting workouts. I had to add 40 lb dumb bells to my set because 30 isn't enough for presses, lifts, and rows anymore.

The stationary bike translates to real world biking and my climbs improved dramatically, I can push harder for longer and not get winded as easily. I've also got more consistent pedal strokes with 360* engagement even without clipless pedals.

With working out comes stretching and that's helped me become more flexible, recover faster, and reduce injuries. In the past I'd workout consistently until I go too hard, hurt myself, and then go a month without doing anything. I went from just being able to touch my toes to almost putting my palms flat on the ground.

The losing weight part has been slow, I'm down to 202 lbs from 215. I'm not too focused on the number, I just want to get rid of the love handles and stop my belly from folding over my boxer's elastic and it snapping up when I stand up. Most of the weight loss happened with me changing my diet. Walmart has a Nutrisystem 5 day, breakfast snack and lunch kit for only $25, which works for me because I hate figuring out what to eat. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nutrisys...ount-Shelf-stable/164019874?classType=REGULAR

My future goals are taking the dog for more walks, staying consistent with workouts, and incorporate real work biking into the schedule.

Good on you all for making an effort. Even if you're just going for a walk daily, its really good for your physical and mental health. If you have trouble sleeping, a good workout helps you fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep.

Quoting myself from April of 2025 to note progress:
  • 129 weight lifting workouts
  • 127 cycling
  • 173 stretching
  • 79 yoga
  • 20 week streak (5 to 6 workouts a week)
  • average 3.5 miles walking a day
  • need to get 50 lb dumbbells
  • still can't touch palms to floor, just fingers flat, but I can scratch my nose with my big toe 🤪
  • lost weight and beer belly after quitting drinking, clothes fit better
Now I'm trying to maintain the weight loss, build muscle, and increase flexibility and balance. I'm interested to learn more about protein, what and when to use it. Also, when I take my kids to the park and I want to see how long I can hang from the monkey bars, anybody have any tips for keeping the kids off? Nobody around and 30 seconds into hanging some girl decides NOW'S the time she HAS to use that piece of equipment, haha.
 
I am using protein powder as a easy for the body to process "meal replacement". Think Arbonne is the best as I know their standards for no added sugars, flavors, or bi-products (and my wife sells it ;)). But if you would ask 10 dudes which protein is best you will get 11 different answers. Check out the Health/Fitness thread. I added a third shake this morning to up my calories so I am not as short at the end of the day on my goals. I probably should be doing a serving and a half each. If you are looking at the protein powders for gym life it would be a different use than I am shooting for. There is augment there as well as to when it should be taken. Pre-workout for fuel or post for recovery. That is a better conversation for the other thread though. We are just trying to get a part for Wicked 3.
 
Never thought I would say this but I am struggling to hit calorie goals. Protein and fiber are fairly easy, but I find myself 200-400 short of the 2500 I was recommended daily.

I need to mix up my mornings and add some solid foods in place of, or in addition to the shake.
