So I do some dumbbell press.
Any compound movements for your lower body?
At this point, no, because my legs are really big.
Like, because I didn't have any injuries on the lower body, I think I've maintained a lot more muscle mass here.
So I do bike.
I do some, what's it called, Bulgarian squats with light weights.
So I can do one side at a time.
But like heavy leg presses and things like that, why?
Why would I do it?
It's because potentially risking an injury and, yeah, you can leg press a ton of weight, but you can't touch your toes.
What's the point, you know?
Absolutely.
I had excessive amounts of muscle mass, actually.
I was...
few years ago still at like 250 you know just on TRT and some training and I went for a checkup my blood pressure was a bit high and it just triggered something I mean like I've been eating still like a bodybuilder you know frequent meals chicken breast and rye I don't know it's just habit so I kept doing it I said I'm gonna go on a lower protein diet more plant-based and lose some weight right and
But which way am I going to lose?
I'm not fat, so I guess I'm going to lose muscle mass.
But it was an interesting exercise in that I dedicated my whole life, earlier life, to building muscle mass.
Now I'm actively trying to lose it for health reasons, but also I wanted to check my ego, you know?
I think everyone else was more concerned than me about eyes looking skinny now and everything.
