Oblivian's Adaptations

[Oblivian]

Weird - a 19:05 5K is 6:09-6:10 for 3.1 miles, I think. Great job in here, nonetheless!

Ya, I noticed that too. It was on the same trail as well. I was pretty disappointed with the mile time, so maybe it was just a bad day running. I was really happy with the 5k time. I've had other timed runs at 1.75 miles that were that fast as well.

Nice. My best 5K is 20:20. I'd be lucky to hit 35:00 right now though. What's it like not being a fat piece of crap?

100 burpee challenge
5 minutes 28 seconds (Big PR)
*Very happy with this. Probably the last time doing 100 burpees for a long time.

Holy mackeral. That's really, really impressive. Must be pretty much top speed for the whole period. Wow.

Here is the weight cut story. Before people ask me why I dropped the weight, it was for a bet. My wife bet me $155 I couldn't get to 155 lbs even with a water weight cut. At the time I was 190 lbs post bulk. She gave me 9 months to do it. This was 3 months ago.

90 days ago - Post bulk - 190 lbs

This Morning's Weight Before Cut - 160 lbs

****SEE NEXT POST****

*Overall it was pretty easy. I feel good right now. I'm ready to eat whatever I want and put a lot of focus onto strength now. I hit a lot of conditioning goals during this cut, but it was at the cost of neglecting strength. I'm ready to move forward to focusing on strength.

That some serious weight loss, 10 lb/month. You must be happy to be able to eat again eh?

 

[Deltron 3030]

Congrats, dude. Now go stuff yer face.

Check the diet log tomorrow morning. You won't be saying this:

Hahaha. Okay, well, if you eat pizza you better not scarf 3 slices -- I'm talking all or nothing.

Great job...time to eat!

 

[XTrainer]

Great work, Oblivian! You should be proud of yourself.

Buy something cool with the $155 and post pics.

Time to get huge!

 

[WitchCraft]

Congrats Oblivian!

I agree with everyone else, go eat! And good luck with your strength goals.

 

[luckyshot]

You look like the pretty men on the magazine's Oblivian. Well, except for the haircut. Nice job.

 

[hymn]

Excellent job on the weight loss, the speed at which you accomplished it was nuts! I look forward to seeing what you can do with the weights after a couple months of eating.

*I can't remember the last time I specifically worked on the gunzors. I will be doing assistance every lifting day now that involves isolation. I've neglected specific bicep and tricep work for a while.

 

[Oblivian]

Gunzors are sore as shit. I decided that I'm going to take 2 full days off before I start my new routine on Tuesday. I've got some yardwork and other shit to do all day tomorrow anyways. Since my training was early on Saturday, it will be close to 80 hours of rest. I haven't had that for a long time.

 

[Oblivian]

Holy crap


AWESOME job dude. Tan needs work but we'll get there, one step at a time.

Lol. Thanks. I mowed the lawn with my shirt off a couple days before, but it wasn't sunny enough to do anything. GTL baby.

 

[graedy]

Impressive.
