    I’m jealous. My lean mass is high prole.

    @jon-nyc said in 14 months' work at the gym and the dinner table:

    high prole.

    What does this mean? Apple/iOS lookup suggests "prole" is short for "proletariat," which doesn't sound quite right in context. 🤷

      It is. Horace said his muscle mass was elite so I chose a different class reference. High Prole was Paul Fussel’s description of the high end of working class in his book about class in America.

        I just ordered the Wahoo Kickr Rollr, which is a device designed to allow you to ride your bike indoors

        I really want to train all winter. It bores me to tears to ride indoors, but I think I could tolerate some HIIT which is what I need to get my speed to the next level.

          I'm enjoying the 3 sets by 6-8 reps at 80% of 1 rep max, but I think I'm going to split it up into push, pull and legs/core days, six days a week. Do my weights then half hour of cardio. Might do cardio first to warm up.

            I traditionally did some cardio in the gym during the winter but I am starting to grow fond of the idea of splitting them up. The bike setup at home will help with that

              I haven't successfully done a full body workout yet in one gym visit. I take a few hours between upper and lower instead, but still on the same day. To the extent I'm able to do any leg stuff at all. Been doing wide stance dumbbell deadlifts lately as a compromise that my knees allow for. I can do those at home, so I don't need another gym visit. Then the cardio is a third workout that I try to space out. All of which is to say that it's nice to work from home.

                Yeah, it's quite convenient. I'll have a good cardio setup once the basement remodel is finished (started?), mostly my Airdyne and elliptical. I like machines that work both upper and lower body.

                    Dropped 9 pounds in October. Probably my best month ever. Started counting calories for the first time, which probably helps a lot. High protein, low calorie diet, plus resistance training, and all your losses will be fat.

                          I count backwards from maintenance rather than up from 0, and maintenance varies with the amount of walking and other exercise I do on a given day. I try to have a 1000 calorie deficit per day on average, which is what 9 pounds @ 3500 calories/pound for 30 days averages out to. So the calorie/exercise tracker I'm using seems pretty accurate.

                            Yep. Two pounds a week. Perfect.

                                This thread inspired me to switch over to a low-carb diet.

                                I lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks - only another 14 to go.

                                And then it will be Christmas.....

                                I was only joking

                                        It was actually somewhat easier than I expected. The hardest part was avoiding the typical late afternoon feeding frenzy I engage in when I get home from work, and instead slowly eat a fish-and-vegetable dinner.
