weekly weigh in

The overhead barbell press is a true test of strength.
It is my weakest lift, not surprisingly.

I hate any kind of overhead combined with a squat, so overhead squats, or snatch. My arms just don't stay back, its frustrating I can barely do a 45# bar.

I didn't have a good week. Yesterday was proper, so to today will be proper.

Is this behind or in front of the head?

I press overhead with the bar in front.

Somewhere around there. The last 4 days have been better. Getting back into the routine took too much effort. I broke my fast with two beef burgers, no bun, two dill spears and some cheese.

I love meat & cheese.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Have you ever put 30 pounds of beef in a grocery cart?
That's a lot of flesh. I'd like to be 192.

Why don't you put your head in a harness, Mayor, to add a few inches to your height? Am I getting through to you, squirt?

Oh boy, I see you've been hanging out with Don Rickles and Roger Courtney again at the Esquire Club, picking up on their zingers and one liners!

You beat all, you know that.

That is also expensive. Today I will be fasting until around 4:00 PM.

I broke my fast that day with some marshmallows, chips, and brandy.

Do you fast from cigars also?

 

[Nick M]

Do you fast from cigars also?

Around 5 days a week. Today I had fish and broccoli.

Good timing. I thought I would post something from Martin this morning.

Here is a study that shows skipping the breakfast meal and breaking your fast mid-day still works, and is still free.

To examine the effects of alternate-day fasting on glucose metabolism, eight healthy men were maintained on a 20h modified alternate-day fast for two weeks. Despite unaltered body weight and habitual physical activity, insulin dependent glucose uptake increased, and increased adiponectin levels were observed (65). In another trial, the insulin sensitizing effect of true alternate-day fasting was observed through reduced insulin response to a standardized meal in men, but not women – suggesting a potential sex difference in the effect of alternate-day fasting on glucose metabolism (66). Although not demonstrated in all human studies (68,69), these results indicate that alternate-day fasting might mimic the insulin sensitizing effects observed in rodents on alternate-day fasting diet, and that the effect might be due to increased adiponectin levels.

I concur that breakfast is empty calories that adds nothing positive to your body or life.

But I sure do love pancakes and bacon once in a while.
