strive for slow stead and deliberate movements in your lifting and excercise and if it takes less weight to manage it that way then thats the way to do it as this brings far more core muscle groups into the picture which is very helpful indeed...

that's exactly what the experts said

concentrate on keeping the form

still doing the 200 squats per day whilst holding the kettlebell..

glutes, hamstrings really pumped up, feel a lot stronger already, get tired halfway through but keeping good form and doing it the right way....

i quit smoking cigs and weed on the 5th of November 2021
at the time i weighed 11 stones and 7 pounds which in American is 163.8 lbs and i am 6 foot tall

now i weigh 13 stones 7 pounds which is 191 lbs

since i quit the cigs my appetite has come back and i am eating 3 times a day before i use to just have the evening meal and not really eat during the morning and through the day maybe the odd sandwich.. i was smoking cigs at work and that suppressed my hunger and the evenings when i got home i was on the weed all night long and all the time on weekends,

i stopped smoking weed and cigs on the same day. so around 5 months now give or take a few days.

i didn't wanna be a fat cunt so i started exercising when i was in high school i use to box for my school on an amateur level for around 4 years. so i went back to jumping rope and light weights NOW i am doing more calisthenic ( using my bodyweight) I have a big garden so after work, i just go out in my shorts and i start skipping and doing squats etc... someday i can't be bothered but i know it will bother me at night before i go to sleep knowing i have failed so to save me from that i end up doing the exercises this way i can sleep at night knowing i did not fail.

i was thinking of maybe dipping my toe back into smoking weed basically vaping with no tobacco/cigs but maybe i see if i can go to 12 months before i resume or maybe i won't. sometimes when i sit down at night with my girl i really fancy a joint while am watching something interesting on YT, that is the only time i think about smoking weed when i am watching something i like on the net, besides buying weed from a dealer would really piss me off, so if i was to start up again ill have to dust off the dirt on my lights etc, and move out all the useless crap i have accumulated over the years in the small box room.

i noticed my body shape has changed my legs are thicker and firmer, my thighs circumference before is started the training was 25.1 inches the other day i measured them again and it was 26 inches dead ON so i put muscle on. even though i put nearly 2 stones of weight on ( 28 pounds) my waist size is still 32 inches so basically, all my clothes still fit...

still doing the squats and the burpees everyday,,,,

i do them in sets of 10 between my squats and skipping so its squats + burpees + skipping

squats + 25
burpees+ 10
skipping+ 1 minute

i repeat it for 45 mins taking a small break once i completed the full set every time I have not put on any more weight but i am still eating 3 meals a day, i think i am in a " state of flow" 45 mins are up and i have not even noticed...

Flow is a state of mind in which a person becomes fully immersed in an activity. Positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi describes flow as a state of complete immersion in an activity. Being immersed can be defined as a state of focus in which a person is completely absorbed and engrossed in their work.

has your natural gas bill dropped much?

burpees are a real challenge, i lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks, i was trying to gain weight lol

instead of wearing sneakers whilst during burpees, i now were heavy steel toe capped boots, tiny bit more weight although i might order a 20 kilo weighted vest from ebay, but Ramadhan starts on the 2nd of April so dunno....

i dont wanna give up training through fasting so i might exercise after 7.30PM in the evenings.... coz ill be fasting during the day

Getting hooked on endorphins?

Be careful when you stop or slow down regular workouts yer body will get the bounce back, it will still crave calories like you're working out long after you stop. Momentum. thus the weight bounce back.

Something I've learned over the years, I should have mentioned before yer fasting, is fruit. Eating lots of fresh fruit right after a workout. I don't know how or why it works but it's helps with the muscle build up and in general less soreness and more energy.
I learned it from a fellow cook at work, he also rode a bicycle to work but unlike me he did it for the workout. soon as he arrived he would devour a whole pineapple or melon.

Hoping for a good Ramadhan for ya.
