jesus christ, you're not fat. you've done an incredibly impressive job cutting down. the discipline is there, no question. but you're starting to get like adarq circa 2011 with his athletic anorexia shit. i realize you're kind of kidding but distorted body image ain't a joke. you're getting to the point where no matter how much weight you lose, you won't look that much leaner because you're thin. t0ddday had a good post about this a while back. three 6' tall guys at ~10% bf, one weighs 165 pounds, one weighs 175 pounds and one weighs 185 pounds. all else being equal, who looks leanest? the heaviest guy. adarq, even when he was under 150 pounds, never looked super lean. whereas t0ddday and kingfish look ripped despite weighing more at shorter heights and probably having equal or higher bf%.

what i'm saying is, let's do a bit of a bulk together, my brother. you can always lose the weight again later.

awesome depth on the front squats, btw.

Idk it felt fine, the weight wasnt really that heavy but i sneezed during the last rep and i almost fell over

oh man i just saw this and lol'd in real life. bravo.

"it's still your motherfuckin' set. let's get it done."

words to live by.

It takes me about 50 mins to 1 hour to complete my weightlifting:
I do 3 combound exercises, 1 legs - 1 push - 1 pull. Each consists of 3 sets, 3 minutes rest between them, 3-5 minutes rest between exercises. My warm-up sequence is the same for all exercises, 3 sets building up intensity, ~1 min between those sets. I don't do abs or stretch at the gym, i leave right after the last working set.

Yep see this is my problem right here. All the rest periods (I know they're required) drive me crazy. Doing this VJB program the plyo exercises alone on one day have about 35 minutes of rest. Then doing 4-5 sets of squats and RDLs with 3 minutes rest between each and warm up sets gives another 30 plus minutes of rest. That's over an hour without even including lifting time.

I'm sure there's a way to fit it all in to 40 mins and make if effective and would be glad if anyone has any suggestions.

yeah, there is. sacrifice intensity. if you want to work at the upper ranges of intensity and have it work, you have to rest a lot.

I read somewhere that after 47 minutes the cortisol level starts to build up pretty fast so...

source? sounds dubiously specific.

nah, it is. that's what a roman chair is in my mind, too.
