Becoming the Iron Lion

[Montego]

My back is smoked lol. I haven't had DOMS in my upper back in I can't tell you how long but they're there.

Caught my weight before I started training regularly and I was 248, this morning I was 241 so, despite taking in way more food, the water is coming off and some fat is slipping away. Within another week I should see that start to rise as I get fuller and things get to clicking again.

If I'm able to keep this training frequency regular (it's been a challenge since the move for sure) I might restart a little blast to recover the size faster and then go back to my cruise again.

Tonight will be legs and I'm chomping at the bit.

2 solid days training.

Legs y'day.

High rep main sets, super set with some lower rep bodyweight stuff to get that last little bit out of the muscle.

Since being able to walk is my biggest "goal" after training legs due to the knees, this has been a decent way to get some more stimulus without having to increase loads as quickly and, still get that feeling of failure safely with some intensity.

Adductor and extensions 4 working warm up sets

Low close leg press with heel elevated bodyweight squats. 4 working sets

Hack 3 working sets (I'm so fucking weak in this movement......I used to hack 8 plates a side for working sets, now 2 plates is rough) split squats

Seated curls

That was it. Really all I can handle currently without crazy soreness.

Arms today -

Daisy chain extensions and cable v bar curls 4 sets

DB curls and close grip Smith 4 sets

Machine dips and straight bar curls 3 sets

Cross body extensions and single arm cable preacher 3 sets

DB extensions and seated incline curls 2 sets

That's it.

Started a new log book. Figured my days of training the way I used to are coming to an end so, I'll start finding a new way to get better each session.

Yeah, ya know, I look at pictures and I think "my legs still don't look that bad" but, then I go back and look at pics before my last show in 23 and, yeah, that left quad has atrophied a lot and, the adductors don't have the same thickness they did then.

I've still got better legs then 99% of the gym population where I'm at, but it doesn't really matter about others, I've seen the regression and I'm coming to terms with it.

The ability to walk every day these past 2 months has made that much easier to do.
