Down nearly 2 inches in the waist line.
Excellent. It will be a challenge through Christmas, but well worth it.irish pete ag06 said:

Quick question, what's your carb intake like on the weekend when you eat at the slight surplus? Or do you eat a surplus keto on the weekends also?

Thanks, no idea what that number is currently, never had it checked. I still have some fat I'd like to drop, probably another 10 lbs. I know that though most of what I've lost is fat I've lost some muscle as well because I changed up my workout activity. I do get in more sessions per week now, but since I'm primarily doing calisthenics instead of lifting that has made a difference. I'm not real concerned about that though because my primary goal was dropping pounds, which I've done. What I do now is mainly interval training.
.
Monday/Thursday I stick with pull ups and add in some bicep work and abs.
Tuesday/Friday are pushup variations, triceps, shoulders.
Wednesday/Saturday are legs, either I do 500 kettlebell swings at my house or hit the gym to do squats/deadlifts. I don't go heavy on leg day anymore because it's hell on my knees.
I'm just recently onto the kettlebell bandwagon, and I'm a fan.
My gym membership is only $30/month so I can justify paying that to do legs alone due to how much it would cost to get a rack and the weights to go with it

I switched from SL 5x5 to Phraks Greyskull variant a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure how much a I like it, yet. I'm like you, Pete, I like chasing numbers. I'm pretty new to the lifting game (only 6 months) but I really like the linear progression in 5x5 and Phraks. Is there a recommended LP program that is 4 or 5 days?

Cool. Thanks. I've seen that 5/3/1 For Beginners Program recommended before.
I might try that after new years.

Irish Pete,
How are the holidays working out? My reward for doing so well this fall was having Christmas off and amazingly I've pretty much maintained my weight. Of course, I'm in the middle of a half marathon training program so it's hard to gain weight running that much.
I will go back full throttle keto tomorrow until I hit my final goal of 200 lbs. At that point, I want to stabilize through the spring and summer to make sure I can maintain that weight. I may try to go lower, but I want to see how I look and feel at that weight.
It's unreal. Saves a lot of $. Haha.wbt5845 said:
The booze hits you much faster. Two Jack & Diet Cokes leave me wasted. I didn't even drink anything last night.
