Yup, love a good sourdough. Otherwise I'll do whole wheat/whole grain. Any type of grainy/seedy bread and I'm down. Typically pick it up from a nearby bakery. I've got nothing against store bought bread - there are some great options and I'm not scared about "emulsifiers and perservatives". Just look for bread that is whole grain/whole wheat, high in fiber, and doesn't have a bunch of added sugar and you're good to go.

I'm cheering him on.

It's great to be in a position with your health and habits that you literally don't care about GLP-1s/peptides, cold plunges, circadian rhythms, sleep/strain scores etc. You've already figured out that the basics are what work and you don't need much more than that.

Give me the pleasure of discipline.

Yup - Jack was a great wrestler. And ironically that's how he got his start in bodybuilding. He got bit by the Iron Bug after schooling a couple of a bros in wrestling.

Yes, my style is often "boring" But it doesn't need to be flashy. Nor do I want it to be. I just happen to be a handsome dad of three in his 40s. I'm in solid shape. I want my low key weekend style to reflect that. I don't want to spend a ton of money. I want to be comfortable while not looking sloppy.

These are the types of elevated casual sneakers you should be wearing. I like to call them The Gentlemen's Sneaker. Full grain leather or suede Leather lining Waxed cotton laces Minimalist/sleek design Margom soles if you can swing it

Pro tip for summer tees: Swap your standard neutrals for something a bit more seasonal. Muted pastels. Earthy brights. Jewel tones etc. These colors just hit different in the summer sun. Especially when paired with lighter wash denim.

Which way modern man over 40 years old. Which way?

If you are transitioning from Cut to Bulk soon…you NEED to read this: Take a look at the first attached photo These are the estimated maintenance calories for a client of mine after he completed his Cut (progress pic shown in Photo 2) Here’s how I got this number: 1) First, I got his average bodyweight for the duration of the diet (175.13 lbs) 2) Second, I got his average calorie intake for the duration of the diet (1,696) 3) Third, I got his average weekly rate of loss for the duration of the diet (-.86%) 4) Fourth, I multiplied his average weekly rate of loss by his average bodyweight (.86% x 175.13 lbs = 1.506) 5) Fifth, I multiplied 1.506 x 3,500 (1 pound gained or lost = 3,500 calories…not a perfect rule but a good heuristic) = 5,271 5,271 was the estimated size of his deficit each week which, when divided by 7, means he was in a deficit of 753 calories per day 6) Sixth, I added that 753 calories per day to his weekly average calorie intake (1,696) to get his estimated maintenance calories of 2,449 NOW…pay attention: His highest average weight was 184.28 His lowest average weight was 162.90 Given that he lost 20 lbs, he VERY LIKELY experienced some metabolic down-regulation As a result, his estimated maintenance calories are probably closer to 2200-2300 calories ASSUMING HIS ACTIVITY REMAINS FIXED His activity got VERY HIGH toward the tail end of his cut (a week at 22,323 steps per day, a week at 21,264 steps per day, and a week at 25,004 steps per day) So, I gave him the recommendation you see in photo # 3 This is how you properly transition out of a cut and into a bulk Raising calories incrementally is just prolonging your dieting phase Think about it… If you’re in a 600 calories deficit and you bump calories by 200 per day…you’re still in a deficit, it’s just smaller Bump by another 100 the next week…still a deficit Bump by another 100 the next week…still a deficit Bump by 100 the next week…STILL A DEFICIT I’m not saying there aren’t reasons to do this but I would not suggest doing so if your intent is to get out of a deficit and into a surplus In that instance, just do what I did here: - Calculate estimated maintenance calories - Give cushion in the event that you suspect metabolic adaptation occurred - Deploy new numbers - Continue to compile/watch data - Allow for weird body water fluctuations to work themselves out over the first 1, 2, 3, maybe 4 weeks post calorie bump - Adjust after that if rate of gain does not settle into .5ish pounds per week range
