@DeanTTraining lately whenever I do a heavy set of any sort (mostly on pendulum squat, smith incline press, etc.) I get a pounding headache that lasts a few minutes. Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?

@schober222 One strategy that worked for me was to log absolutely everything I ate. If it has calories, it’s getting tracked. The satisfaction of knowing you stayed on track at the end of the day beat the “satisfaction” of all the extra snacks and bites that add up quickly.

@BowTiedYukon No kidding. I wish I could like this post more than once.

@dpolehn 100%. Before I started weight lifting I thought I could bench 200+ lbs right off the bat. I was humbled fast 😂

3. And the easiest one of all, WALKING PAD! While you’re watching a show, watching a game, or working at a desk, fill it in with walking.

[Jake Andres @jakea519]

Reminder: if you are serious about losing fat and NOT walking at least 8k steps a day you are seriously slowing down your progress.

2. Park far away from any store entrance or on the opposite side of the parking lot at your job.

@anymanfitness I have a largely sedentary day job that if I wasn’t proactive about getting steps I would only average 2k a day sometimes. A combination of having a mindset of walking whenever possible and a walking pad gets me to 10k everyday 💯

@schober222 That was me yesterday. Super low energy after work. Ate two bananas and had a full scoop of pre-workout and ended up hitting a PR in every leg exercise.

@anymanfitness Parking far from any entrance is a super underrated tip to rack up additional steps and one that I do all the time. Added perk is always having lots of room lol

[Jake Andres @jakea519]

@zachhomol_ Solid advice. I know if I start by saying what I initially think I’ll probably say something to my kids that I’ll regret. Taking even a split second to think before responding is huge 👌🏼

@schober222 Thank you. Fear of what others think of me has always held me back but what’s the worst that can happen.

[Jake Andres @jakea519]

@schober222 Thank you! Love your content keep it up 👍🏻

@DeanTTraining I was 240 lbs at 6’ tall. Had never picked up a weight. I thought if I cut down to 200 I’d be 12-15% bf and muscular. I ended up cutting down to 160 to get proper lean. Very humbling. Now it’s time to start building and putting on lean tissue.

@anymanfitness One of my go to favourite meals. Friends and family say it’s dog food but hey, hits the spot every time.

@thegarybrecka Biggest challenge of living in a cold winter climate is the lack of sunlight.
