No pausing between reps, just using momentum to get them through their sets and their form was just atrocious!! Yea, they were lifting heavy weight, but at what cost???

I am a firm believer in "Muscle, not Momentum!" Lower the weight a little, keep good form and reap the benefits. Who cares that you can curl 100 pounds or pull down 200 lbs if you are using your entire body to do it?????

...that is all.....I will get off my soap box now!

I agree but I do use a little momentum doing my Kettle bell shoulder presses But not until the last 5 reps.....guess I'm a cheater...haha But not when I do my lat pulls!! No way!!

The fat doesn't worry me, when I did KETO last year I ate nothing but fats and protein (NO carbs) and got down to 7% BF. Felt weird but hey haha.

I may do one can of beans instead of two, or something like that...maybe 1.5lbs of beef instead of two.

I do the 94% lean beef or turkey for my meals using ground meat.

I'm tapering my carbs off little by little The month of July is gonna be pure hell, all chicken, eggwhites and fish and maybe spread out a cup of brown rice throughout the day! :( But I'm mentally preparing myself...thats what happens when you have a goal with a deadline! lol
