I drink a lot of whole milk, too.
Also, semi-skinned is... it's like the difference between drinking fruit juice and fruit-flavoured water. Yuck.

Er. Do you mean Arnold Palmer or half cream, half milk?
Half cream, half milk. Goddamn delicious. It'll give you a heart attack, but so worth it.

For an animal product it actually has quite a large carb content.
When I was on keto I replaced it with a mix of tahini and coconut oil.Now that is 😋
We call that "gold top" in the UK -- it's basically Jersey milk. Utterly delicious.
Edit: ah, just saw the "stop derail" notice. Righto.

The bag of tools is heavy. Very heavy.
Eh, not really.

The bag weighs roughly 100lbs. Toss in the ladder and roll of drawings ... welp, you Army guys aren't asked to haul around that much bullshit when you're hoofing it.

Yeah, isn't it interesting that the Inuits have a very fat heavy diet and paradoxically very low rates of heart disease and cancer?
Fat can be beneficial, as long as it is the right fat and the body burns it properly.
Keto is a great diet.
Rucks are usually 75 before water weight, and then you include rifle and ammo.
Machine gunner with 240B is more then that

I was pointing out that an architect or engineer who isn't seated at a desk needs to bring a whole bunch of heavy and awkward to carry stuff with them.
I mean, not really?
Have you ever had to carry a 240B with tripod?
bintananth

No. I don't have the FFL a civilian needs just to touch one.
It ain't light, now include wearing fully kit and a ruck.

I looked it up. Those are about 10-20lbs lighter than a 10ft ladder. They are also crew-served weapons.
You carry the 240B by oneself.
And a ladder is easier to carry then a fully loaded 240B

Let's not turn this into a dick-waving contest.
If I have to do fieldwork I won't be the guy carrying the heavy stuff. I'll be the guy with a clipboard, some paper, and a sharpie directing traffic and writing everything down.

Honestly forgot I even posted this thread.
Hows it been going everyone? Just thought I’d give a little update on my overall fitness progress.
My overall weight has largely remained the same, largely due to me dropping off the wagon and starting my ongoing love affair with fast food again, my strength continues to make good progress.
My bench hit 360lbs before a minor pec pull forced me to back off for a bit. I’ve largely recovered and am approaching heavier weight with due caution. I’m back up to 315 for 3 reps on my regular bench and have been focusing on the close grip variation to load my triceps a little bit more.
My standard row is about equal to my bench and my overhead has largely stagnated at around the 205lb mark.
Where I’ve been seeing great progress is my lower body. I’ve been really obsessed with getting my front squat equal to my back squat and have hit 315 on it. My back squat stands at 415 for my 1rep max. I’ve also thrown in split squats, though I can’t do them without some form of support yet due to balance issues.
My deadlift has improved a little bit, and I’m sitting at 495lbs for a 1rep. I’m hoping to hit 585 by sometime next year. I’m looking at throwing some romanian deadlifts in as a variation, as the upper part of the lift seems to be my sticking points. Maybe also start doing good mornings again to really get the posterior chain fried.
I’ve also recently started rucking, to get more bang for my buck out of my nightly walks around the neighborhood. I have 30lb plate I’m using currently, and have just been adding distance as I get comfortable. At some point, I’m going to get a 45lb plate to replace it and eventually start using both together as I adapt to the weight.
I’ve also been contemplating HIIT to try and get my fat loss really moving, along with phasing out the junk food again, but at my weight HIIT can be exceedingly hard on the joints. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
How bout you guys? Any fitness wins to report?
