A WEIRD WEIGHTLOSS BREAKTHROUGH

HONESTLY, I THINK THIS WHOLE WEIRD BREAKTHROUGH is the result of watching Remco dominate the Vuelta. At 5'5" and 140 lbs, he is a thick, powerful muscle vs most waifs at the top. What does that have to do with the jumbo gentleman at the concert last night...

... who was sitting on a low wall and kept standing?

Up down,
up down.

Essentially, Jumbo Gent was doing squats.

I might call them air squats, but this dude was heavy. I was once a lot heavier, not this heavy, but I get it.

While Stevie Nicks belted Stop Dragging My Hear Around, I imagined doing squats all day with 50 or 75 or 100 lbs on my back...

... or more.

My legs would be cooked.

But, they weren't ever cooked back then, and near as I could tell JG wasn't gonna wake up this morning regretting a massive squat day either.

Suddenly, my own practice of doing daily squats with weight might made a lot more sense. The daily practice builds muscle, doesn't take but a few minutes...

... and results in more strength.

Standing on my fancy Garmin scale this morning, I noted I am up a few pounds since August, which was when I got back into my strength routines, but that my percentage of body fat has remained steady.

In fact, it's down a bit.

Tying it all together, what if instead of focusing on weighing less...

... we shifted our goal to lowering our percentage of body fat?

Remcos in the making?

It sure puts food choices in an entirely different light,
along with regular strength training.

Will this spike my sugar and convert to fat?
Does this contain protein?
Do a quick set.
Make time.

Something to think about as we head into the heavy season of candy, turkey and glutony...

... we become what we eat, and do.

No matter how sexy we get, it's still a good idea to cover up when changing...

... which is why we have the awesome changing poncho.
