Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Weezer]

I also didn't say that at all lol

You can't take back what you said. You clearly said I was the king of the RF, and @Glitch is a mere peon.

I'm 6'3" and recently topped out at 300. I'm the strongest I've ever been from working the farm but I have to cut weight. Too much time spent working the farm to work out but I've decided to go protein and cut out cokes, been drinking some diet green tea. Any other recommendations?

Im far from an expert…just have been researching a lot online and trying different things to find what works for me.

Like others have said, get away from the highly processed foods (essentially, most anything that are in the aisles at the grocery store). I now, for the most part, shop on the outside walls of the grocery. I stay away from fried foods and avoid vegetable/seed oils. (Research the history of those oils)

Eating high quality protein will satiate you and will help to prevent you from overeating. I will buy a big package of chicken breasts at Sam’s, split the breasts to make them thinner, then grill them on a Sunday. There’s a huge chunk of my protein for the week. (I also drink a 30g protein shake each morning as soon as I wake up. Drink a whey protein shake within 30 mins after my workouts). Drink a BUNCH of water.

It’s a slow process, but I just remind myself that my body didn’t get into bad shape overnight…it’s not going to get into good shape overnight either.

Consistency is the key IMO. I imagine with all the farm work that you do, you’re getting in great exercise. Just have to shore up the food intake and try to go at a calorie deficit each day. (I’ve regularly seen a daily 500 calorie deficit recommended, but as stated earlier, you hv to see what works best for you)

Best of luck on your journey!

EDIT: I also completely quit alcohol back in the spring.

Well, @Weezer is a known liar and troublemaker. He eats peoples pets and clogs up drains with his dirty matted fur and then blames it on me and others.

Says the liar and known jinx. Glitch tries to bring bad luck to the Vols every chance he gets.

 

[Weezer]

Snuggies made from @Weezer fur? If you could get the dirt, poo, and lice out of it, NO!

My fur is clean. We Yeti are not as disgusting as you humans.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We’ve given every 17-23 year old college athlete the keys to Entitlement and they have little, if any, wisdom and discernment.

bru their parents gave them that from D1. We only enabled it.

Cutting out sodas are great. Start with that. Diet green tea will give you a lift in mood and stamina, but it won’t hold up long term, but will make you feel better. Unfortunately, your body will slow down losing weight at this time of year. Take your calorie intake down slow and listen to your body. Our bodies like to start bulking up this time of year. There’s a reason for that. Our bodies are geared to protect. Notice when we crave lighter meals and when we crave consistent big meals?

 

[Jimmy Football]

Mobsters telling the feds to outlaw liquor so they can police it.

Go
To
Hell



Let bad programs picking bad players suffer. The market is infinitely more competent than the NCAA. This is an area I'd gladly debate with any glory day lovers. You cannot uncork free labor.

I love the argument:

“It’s a shame these kids aren’t getting the full amounts of their promised NIL dollars. So you should definitely give us back the power to punish them for getting any NIL dollars.”

What does a nosy pepper do?

























It get's jalapeño business.

 

[Weezer]

Still worn out from my trip to the land of the Commode Whores, where Glitch resides. I, of course, live in the Land of the Volunteers. So someone help me with the news of the day. Anything big happen? Have we burned Lance Heard in effigy yet?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Who is in charge of the UNLV Athletic Department? That statement is a death nail to their athletic program. RIP! Idiotic.

Why?...and it is knell, not nail...unless we are adding it to the VN lexicon..

I'm not being argumentative with this question...I am curious as to your thinking.

it rained

 

[jmacvols1]

Wow...those in FLA take care....

 

[Weezer]

Nor would we vote for @SergeantVol for Mod, so don't get any silly ideas in your head.

Nor would we vote for Glitch to start a game thread. Damn jinx.

 

[mrMet]

Curious about your full body workout…roughly, how long do you workout each day? I typically spend 1-1.25 hrs each day doing the traditional 5 day split. (Chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms)

Reason I ask, I don’t hv time to spend 3 hours a day in the gym like I’ve heard others I know doing.

HIIT is an uptempo place you could look. Works well for some people and could cut your gym time down

 

[Weezer]

This. We would never vote for a yeti to be the king of the RF.

Petty human jealousy at the superiority of Yetis.

 

[mrMet]

Don't drink calories.

Yep. And adding lemon to water helps too

 

[Weezer]

According to the radio today, the UNLV RB has done the same as the UNLV QB. If true, that suggests to me their NIL is really screwed up.

 

[Go Fight Win]

@Weezer usc DT did it about an hour ago as well

Calories consumed is not necessarily the same as calories absorbed. And calories leave the body in ways other than burning. If you store fat due to insulin dominance, keto is magic. When the hormonal issues get fixed, you start shedding extra calories as unburnt ketones and likely fat in feces, and losing weight far faster than could be accounted for by caloric deficit.

Keto works...period...I eat a lot, and I drop a half pound to 2 pounds every week.

I snack on pork rinds and cheeze during the day, and eat a lot of vegetables at mealtimes with real butter or olive oil during the week, and I eat a lot of meat and veggies, and I mean a lot on weekends.

50 pounds and counting.

I will have a cheat weekend, or when we are traveling for a few days where I eat anything I want, but I only do that once every two months or so. I figure it's good to reset every once in a while.

That works for me.

Whoops

Come on down! Who’s the other one? We’ll take him too.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That is awesome. I have also be on a weight loss journey I have lost 103 lbs since January and never felt better.

I will say that without the help of the Lord I wouldn’t be here today.

No shots no pills just prayer and 20 carbs a day

Now is the time to put on more steam and keep pushing for the finish line. I will end with this scripture that has helped me through this hard journey

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭

Awesome

I don’t think he takes a paycheck unless something changed, which is pretty cool. He’s independently wealthy and seems like he does the job because he wants to make a difference

Learn something new everyday.

The last one might be a deal breaker!

What kind of protein shakes do you recommend?

I was recently working a full and just time job, and the other stuff that needs done on the farm at morning and night. My part time job kept me really active. When I quit out of necessity, I was just too drained, I started gaining weight pretty quickly.

So if I eat fruits and stuff during the morning, maybe some straight protein at lunch I think I should start to get on track. My job keeps me at a desk all day. I think that was big issue, I was snacking all day instead of just eating a planned mean in morning and lunch.
