    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    If you're very active, have significant muscle mass, and are maintaininy where you currently are you don't need a caloric deficit. Many athletes trying to gain muscle deliberately overeat to put on both muscle and fat with a plan to drop the fat later. That's not the scenario I'm referring to...

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    Perhaps you mean something else by your phrasing, but a caloric deficit is necessary to lose weight. It's the only way it will happen. Cutting out junk food and eating better may make that easier, but 500 extra calories every day will make you gain weight whether they're from brown rice and...

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    IMHO, diet is critical. The only way to lose weight is to create a caloric deficit. There's multiple ways you can do that, but at the end of the day that's what it comes down to. If you want a sobering reminder, look at the ballpark estimate of how many calories running a mile burns at your...

    MUDDY IS JUNK

    I bought some muddy pros several years back. I don't remember the exact year, but I didn't care for them. There was a lot of play in the steps to the point it would make an audible click when I'd step on it and it would hit the post. Not defective, but I didn't how loose it felt. Sent from my...

    It seems pretty common to me. There are a lot of people that get almost zero physical activity on a daily basis. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    My weight lifting has been weird. Lower body stuff (squat and deadlift) has been going up nicely week over week. Benchpress, which I've always struggled with, has been a struggle past 2 work outs. Even with deloading this week it was very had to get 5x5. I also pulled my hamstring a little just...

    Insect Shield; factory treat your clothes

    Martin's is what I use make my own 0.5% to treat my clothes. Slight odor when initially applied, but not much once dried. I tried some stuff with petroleum distillates in it initially and I found the odor really bad. Like the clothes would give me a headache if I wore them indoors bad. Sent...

    Growing up, I don't remember really seeing ticks even being out in the woods in the summer. Now they're just everywhere. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Great Year for Morels in Kentucky

    I found 3 decent sized morels today. This was the best one. Another had a bite taken out of the top and the 3rd was starting to dry out so I don't know how well it will cook up tommorrow. We've had a pretty good year here, but objectively not that great. I think we found around 20 on our place...

    Great Year for Morels in Kentucky

    I actually am curious about how anyone figured out what is edible and what isn't, especially for things like mushrooms where so many of them are really poisonous. Was there one dummy every generation that everyone else watched and after enough dummies bit the dust, they had a general idea of...

    CWD and what I should know about it

    I wouldn't expect a commercial processor to clean everything between deer. Think about how much hassle it would be to disassemble, clean, amd reassemble a grinder. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    CWD and what I should know about it

    It's in the northern part of my state and fortunately I just hunt the southern part. When it arrives in my hunting area, I will test deer before I eat them. There's a lot of details I would have to figure out though. Do I throw away my knives and other processing equipment if I've processed a...

    Yeah, trying to balance those 2 is always tough. I've been leaning more into strength training the last few months and cardio has definitely taken a hit. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    So I hadn't had a formal workout in a week due to being out of town. I had done some walking, but nowhere near the intensity of my normal workout. I got back today and did a weight work out. I was able to go up a bit in my dead lift, but bench suffered a bit. Surprisingly, I'm actually down a...
