Trying to gain slabs of muscle to knock staylor around.
Could put a whale in a rear naked choke with those pythons.
Recent lifts:
-250 5x5 bench
-335 5x5 squat
-400 5x5 deadlift
Hoping to get to 3 plate bench, 4 plate squat and 5 plate deadlift 1 rep max soon. [Reply]

Nice work, you appear to be getting uglier though. [Reply]

I'd hold you in a submission long past you taping out [Reply]
So far, 2021 has been a nice continuation of the big improvements in fitness I made beginning with when shelter-in-place began for my county in California, March 19, 2020. That day, I was 285 pounds. Through lots of jogging and a much healthier diet, I got down to 226 for the start of 2021. I have been able to sustain the healthier behaviors this year. This morning, I was at 196 pounds. All together, I've jogged a little over 4,000 miles. I'm 6' 2", so I've lowered my BMI from over 35 (severe obesity) to right around 25, a much healthier weight. [Reply]

Arms looking massive and chiseled, well done.
Also, you don't even need muscle to take down that string bean pussy Staylor! [Reply]

It's a tightness I can feel on the back half of my foot, but it's definitely concentrated in the area right in between my heel and the middle of my arch.
I do not feel anything whatsoever when I walk, jog, do standing calf raises with no weight, etc. I only feel it when I do calf raises with 135+ pounds on my back, which is not much weight at all.
Based on some limited research, I'd guess it is my plantar fascia or poooossibly my Achilles', though I don't believe the Achilles' runs that far up the foot.
I've had no injuries that I'm aware of and I do not believe I have overworked myself.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any way around this? I have little bitch calves and am trying to change it.
That sounds very much like plantar fasciitis, which I've dealt with. A couple of things that have helped me were to use the green SuperFeet insoles in my running shoes and make sure my other shoes have good support. Also, you'll want to stretch your calves before getting out of bed. To do that, dorsiflex your feet and also rotate your feet around the ankles. This only takes a second or five and it's now a habit for me when I get out of bed, which is frequently! There is a sock (Strassburg sock) and other devices (e.g. night braces) to help keep your calf muscles stretched while sleeping. Those are helpful for many.
Ice also helps. A nice trick is to put about 18 ounces of water in a 20 oz plastic soda bottle and then freeze it. When frozen, you can put it in a sock and then roll your foot over it repeatedly.

Spend a little less time in the gym and a little more time on the Photoshop skills... JFC, this place has standards.

That is mightily impressive. Good job man. [Reply]
What's your daily routine looking like Lew? I just took a 5am shift at work. I get off at 2pm and hit the gym have everything prepped by 5pm so I can just grab and go. In bed by 10pm and with such an early schedule no drinking during the week and I've found my cravings to eat like shit are less. It's worked out well thus far. [Reply]
