I like that Ossoi is finally getting to experience what we all experienced in our discussions with him earlier in this thread.

Man. This feels good. I'm finally getting rid of all my fat clothes.
It's an awesome feeling. Keep a pair of old jeans or something around to remind yourself of how big you used to be. I have an old pair of jeans from like 6 years ago that I will still hop into now and then just to see how insanely big was before. It's great motivation to keep eating well and exercising, so as not to fall back into old habits and have to start wearing them again!

I was thinking the same thing.

And Himeo, to your last post, it's because the vast majority of the population is completely oblivious to anything nutrition related. Yes, you're absolutely correct that people are retarded about things like carbs. But that doesn't mean that your whole sugar is cancer bullshit is right either (forgive me if that's not actually close to what you're saying. I've essentially stopped reading your posts at this point).

Not at all.

Ever since I mentioned I was using a PT then Arkktheseacretin was immediately on the offensive - PTs are scammers, you don't need a PT etc etc. The next big talking point was body fat measurement via calipers: "they're not accurate blah blah" - regardless of their accuracy vs e.g a DEXA scan, they're still a consistent way to track progress

But, seriously, implying low carb dieting is common knowledge is flat wrong.
It's definitely common knowledge, as I said earlier (seriously do you not read anyone elses posts) "no carbs before Marbs (Marbella)" is a catchphrase that was popularised by the retards that are in the UK equivalent of Jersey Shore.

We also had that BBC Horizon documentary that was posted last year that featured two twin brothers, both doctors, with one following a low carb/keto diet.

It seems like every other day there are articles in the UK press about the dangers of sugar - the tides are definitely shifting and anyone that says otherwise probably doesn't read a lot HMMMMMMM

But, seriously, implying low carb dieting is common knowledge is flat wrong. When people ask me how I lost all the weight and I tell them, I get shit like "Won't all that fat clog your arteries and kill you?" or "Stop, that's dangerous!" or "You're lying. Just tell me the truth."

Common knowledge is locked in shit science from the 1950's.
Then your friends are very dumb people. In this thread, however, very little of that has been happening outside of people saying they drink gravy and now their cholesterol is 500. The vast majority of diets that have been advocated for weight loss are low carb/keto.

You defended a PT feeding you coconut oil while using a program advertising with 20lbs+ muscle gain with simultaneous 20lbs+ fat loss in twelve weeks. ("Guys, its totally possible with world-class training and supplements. I'll even bet Eidal $100 but then argue that the program doesn't actually promise a mere mortal could achieve it. Only the guy on the cover.")

You weren't using your high margin-of-error stats to "consistently track progress"... you were showing up in a thread saying ("yup lost 1.3 percent body fat today.") The proper way to use a high margin-of-error tool would be to make a graph of three months of data collected which clearly depicts a trend.

I'd like to congratulate Ossoi on his mental gains, as well his physical gains.

Proud of you bruh.

In other news, 14 sets of deadlifts WILL make you feel like your back is about to break and you'll probably blackout before it's over. Not for the weak-willed jesus fuck.

This doesn't seem healthy, safe, or efficient... Why so many deads?

Buddy of mine did it and obviously I have a penis so I have to do it as well to match him. Nah mean?

But yeah, I would never do it again. I will say I've never felt my lower back so fucking swole though. The amount of blood rushing in there was pretty insane.

Today is shoulders!

He's a PT for the Giants. Which might explain why they always pop their hammys. He's making them do 14 sets of deadlifts.
Well, normal rules don't really apply to people on steroids, gh etc. For the rest of us who are too pussy to get on the good shit 14 sets of dead lifts seems on the excessive side of excessive.

What the fuck. 14 sets of deadlifts? How do you even do that? Were you guys lifting Fisher Price's My First Weight Set?

Is Himeo the crossfit paleo newbie from a year or two ago that posted shit he only regurgitated?
Nah, I was the land whale eating Papa John's family combos, and drinking 2 liters of soda every day that hit rock bottom drinking one of the Papa John's garlic butter sauces.

Then I found keto/ LCHF and lost a bunch of weight over the last year and a half.

This. I kept my 60" waist fat pants and I have a photo from my sister's wedding of me around that weight.

Never forget.
