Thursday - knee was feeling good, but felt a little loose in the squats.
Warmup - 500m row
Squats - 5x5 235 - probably should have backed off with my knee, but I am a glutton for punishment
RDLs - 5x5 135, 145, 155, 165, 175
Leg Extensions - 3x10 130, 140, 150 tempo 1-3-1
Hip Abductor - 4x10 90, 100, 110, 90 tempo 1-3-1
Seated Calf Raises - 3x10 90, 100, 110 tempo 1-3-1
I have now been approached by 2 people in the last week. I have been working out at this place for 18 months and not a single person has spoken to me and now two.
This guy was older and he asked me how much weight I have lost. I have lost 60 lbs in 18 months. My muscle mass has kicked up in the last 3-4 weeks when I increased my kcals from 1800 to 2800. I feel much better on the higher calories.

I have another 30-50 to lose. My goal is 265. In reality my weight is just a number. It is all about looking good neked. My wife will be the only one see me neked, but you know what I mean.
Damn, I was hoping the spare tire I found was yours and you wanted it back!
Seriously though, that is some damn fine work. It goes to show just hunkering down and plugging away is the way to do it. It is a good sign that you are succeeding now that people are noticing you.

My opinion with the problems you are having with your knee, actual weight on that joint is an issue.
Keep up the good work and if you are going to have a health life when you hit 40 you need to start dropping weight. Again D just my opinion.
Yo Holmes, I usually don’t post in these old people logs, unless female. If dropping wt is a goal, I suggest rowing. If your gym has them. A nice full body w/out that doesn’t feel like cardio & not a lotta stress on joints & the such.

I agree with you. The weight is a part of the issue with my knee and back. I am just a freaking huge guy. I just have a hard time dropping pounds quickly. I am trying to do it healthily and still increasing some muscle.

In the knee joint. A splinter may lock it temporarily and actually is not such a big issue, but has to be removed of course.[/quote]
Tuesday - Today I decided I would try to work in two days a week of legs, but not a full day of legs.
Warmup - 500m Row
Front Squat - 5x5 - bar, 95, 115, 125, 135 - First time ever to do front squats. My front delts and my neck hated these because of where the bar rested. I will give it time though. If anyone knows if I am resting the bar too high please let me know.
