[QUOTE="*Jay*, post: 17025823, member: 108453"] Now that I have an idea what my labs look like I will monitor and see where a more serious diet and fitness regimen can get me. Good to hear about the "shit weight" loss and its impact on T, the more motivators the better. Ive given up alcohol in the past for 9 months at a time, never made an impact in my weight but that was about 8 years ago. I usually have 2-4 weak ass vodka/diet tonics a night. I lift and do cardio, use to run a ton (30+ miles a week) but it hurts now so I just stationary bike or jump a weighted rope. The weighted rope hurts me every now and again so its not as consistent. I have up to 90lb dumbbells, 50lb and 75lb sandbags (125lb soon), adjustable bench, pullup bar, kettlebell pairs up to 35lb, other random bits of equipment. Current work out is as follows. Lift days: 4 days a week with a 20-25 minute bike warmup, currently using push/pull variations focused on compound movements (been on this routine for ~8 weeks). Heavy upper body movements with light lower body movements 2X a week (one push day, one pull day). Heavy lower body movements with light upper body movements 2X a week (one push day, one pull day). Since I work out at home and only have dumbbells up to 90lbs I am going to alter my push/pull and focus on Eccentric movements and see how that goes for the next few months. The last ~8 weeks I havent been lifting to failure but with this change I will be. Cardio days: 3 days a week I get a 45+ minute bike (with one 10/20X8 Tabata, thanks for that) plus either grip training, weighted jump rope Tabatas or kettle bell training for about 15 minutes. I dont see this changing unless when I get my weight back down some and hopefully can tolerate running again. Waiting for the school bus M-F: I shadow box, grip train or jump rope. Since Ive stopped running my muscle mass has really increased but my gut mass did as well, not happy about that and its my biggest concern. I eat pretty clean and do all the cooking, about the worst thing is mac n'cheese for the kiddo every now and again. Have started intermittent fasting (16 hour fast/8 hour consume) and am down a few lbs and heading in the right direction, 5 down with 15 to go. This is week 3 and so far so good, my meals may not always be under the 500 cal point though. I havent been counting calories, just avoiding "fatboy" portions on my plate, Im big on fruits and veggies. Only drink water (60 ozs minimum) and coffee, excess sugar has been eliminated from my diet for a very long time. No sweet tooth. Im usually 12-16k steps by the time Im ready for bed, we have a contest every night at dinner to see who went the most steps by then. I appreciate the hell out of the advice, insight and offer, tons of great info from everyones shared experience in this thread. [/QUOTE]
