Cardio done ✔️
Chicken breast done ✔️
Chicken thighs done ✔️ (for kids)

7 am and 5300 "steps" about 4k more today and ill be at my regular average

Yesterday had to take a couple of walks to catch up.

That neat stuff blowing my mind. Idk how it works but im clearly moving less during the day and i dont even feel it.

Gonna practice some posing and vacuums and head to work.

Pull and bjj tomorrow looking forward to pull bjj not so much. :/

Also cravings hitting hard atm semi unusual stuff for me too lol.

At the store was staring at jams/marmalades for 10 min reading nutrition facts lol.

waiting for the dreaded taco bell cravings which i haven't had in probably 10 years.

January that shit was consuming my mind. Idk how many luxe boxes i bought for my kids just to see them eat it haha.

Yeah it's wild how your body will try to limit movement to conserve energy. The days of holding it in for as long as possible when you have to go to the bathroom because getting up for the 20 ft walk to the bathroom feels like 6 miles.

great pull sesh I think i maintained literally everything maybe a rep lost here and some gained. not even gonna bother with the numbers right now im tired lmao.


I have unfollowed on insta every single influencer that posts food lol.
im only following one, who is pretty big 100kfollowers, since he trains bjj with me. he doesnt really post anything Im interested anyway.

Been browsing menus non stop for post show food. Its a little cathartic for me atm, and a good time waster when im hungry.
well see how long that makes me feel better before I delete my browser.
Mostly settled on a burger post show. Just a matter of picking where.

top 3 for me atm is
shake shack
5 guys
cheesecake factory

ive only been to shake shack one time, maybe 2/3 years ago and I had one bite from my kids and I have never stopped thinking about it lol.
im not really a burger guy or anything but that did something to my taste buds so maybe ill indulge this one time if I make it.

theres a bunch of bougie places I could probably pick that would technically be better, but aoili, hollandaise, arugalla bull shit not really my thing. rather keep it simple.
 
5 Guys or Shake Shack for your first celebratory post show meal with the family? GTFO :)

Shows torturing your weakest body part with Rest/Pause, Drop Sets, SST, FST7 and other intensifiers can really make a difference. Back has come up nicely.

177.1 with light sleep and mega amounts of hydration

went to bed at 188, thats how much i pissed over night lol
probably led to the light sleep as well woke up like 6 times, oh well worth I guess family had pretty good time at this hunting expo we went to.

was pretty cool, was just drinking water diet soda the whole time
however fatigue was real and had to tap out after a couple of hours.
also seems like fat came off my feet a little early, my fucking feet hurt alot. might go walking/running shoe shopping also.
any yall have some good recommends im all ears.

picked up some cheeses and sausages for the kids. they super loved them.
rare for my son to like anything so splurged alittle.
there was a lady selling soup spice mixes and my son loved them as well.
i dont think t his boy has ever had soup in his life.
as soon as I got home made him some and devoured it.

cardio done and check ins completed. dropped 3lbs this week so keeping macros the same.
not sure if ill drop more here or not well see.
i have bjj promos on the 27th, so gonna try to keep it in until then then start backing off. its getting crazy hard, even just doing the techniques, right after training
im super exhausted. especially on fridays, i really do not look forward to it after leg day. never have, but right now its particularly difficult.

bjj is kinda weird too since its not quite strength training, and not quite cardio depending, its a good bit of movement and its fun at least.
and there is something to be said about hanging out with my buddies that kick my ass everyday, more so now t hen usual since im down 22lbs, but it is a good barometer for my strength.
i can really tell when im grappling if my strength has dipped. which it really hasnt. when i grab someones wrist, its mine. when I grab someones lapel, its mine, or at least until i get tired lol.

anavar deployed! should be fun. I like the twists and turns of all this, despite the insane difficulty, and its only gonna get harder.
coach dropped the R word too. And for once it wasnt "retard" it was "REFEED" :ROFLMAO:

yay rice! funny how rice gets super gross in a growth phase, but its quite the luxury in a cut haha. Dont think ive had rice since like april lol.

might have a rice and shrimp bowl in the next 2/3 weeks. :love:
finally ill have something to post in the what are you eating thread that doesnt quite look like vomit lol

gonna go car shopping today a little.
trading maverick for rav4 hybrid or a cx50 hybrid. just depends. dont really need to but would help out a bit with food travel and stuff.
i already have a truck too so the mavericks a little redundant.
luckily dont really NEED it so i have all the power on this one for once.

only slight struggle is with family in the evenings, they like doing shit at 7pm and its like uhhh guys no. im done.
yall are off, ive been up since 2 - 4am, ive logged 10k steps and had a full day of working. yall fckin serious right now lol. im going to bed.
oh well only 8 - 10 weeks left of it so its limited.
they arent used to me being selfish lol.
which I WARNED them about for months. that the time was coming where id be a little reclusive/ selfish / immobile towards the end of the day.
we had a great 6 months, cruise travel wrestling activities. theyll live.
biggest saving grace for me is fatigue hit after my wifes birthday, and was a big one. her 40th but we had a great great weekend.
literally this monday tuesday fatigue hit hard haha. lucky lady. im glad I wasnt a debbie downer for her.
this prep / growth/ cut just couldnt have had better timing all around.

seriously coach has had the perfect plan since january for this. i had 450 carbs roughly to play with on the cruise, and ive just learned so much about myself training wise, meal wise, ill be a better bodybuilder/person after all this 100%.

the kids will be going back to school the last like 3 weeks of my prep so thatll be interesting i guess how it changes things a little for me just schedule wise, but with bjj outta the picture around that time as well shouldnt be too much of an issue i think.

anyways enough useless rambling time to go buy skrimps

This planet fitness was a little strange.
out in the fucking middle of KNOWHERE and it was pretty well equipped but with stuff ive never seen at a PF before.
i found the unicorn with no lunk alarm and this
Click to expand...

Mindless mentioned a few times how PF wasn't that bad. I recently went to one nearby, and this place was great. Not like you hear about (the old reputation).

Lunk Alarm gone, new squat racks, deadlift platforms, some of the best equipment you will find (Hammer, both weight-stack and plate loaded), Life Fitness, Matrix, etc.
Tons of room (so no Tards rite on top of you) and also has a dim/dark feel to it. I guess they changed their policies after being too woke and losing money/stock value, etc.

And for 15.00 a month? That's basically free... Still, I use my home gym mostly, but going to join this as it was fun getting out on a SUN AM and using different equipement.
Who would have thought... (There looked to be 3 or 4 serious BB looking people there, and mostly genpop on Treadmills). No filmers, flexers or broccoli heads to be seen..
 
177.8 terrible sleep!
I think i over caffeinated at the dealership.
Kinda had a feeling before hopped in bed.


Either way i feel fine which is fckin wierd but okay.

And i got the suv!

Mazda Cx50 hybrid.

Ended up working out, got a dealer loaner with 5k miles. Still sold as new, with regular 60k warranty plus a cpo warranty on top of it.

Gave me insane trade in, plus 10k off the sticker. only reason considered the mazda hybrid is its literally the rav4 engine with mazda styling. Best of both worlds.

Perfect lil daily / short trip vehicle which we do alot.

Var is cool 😎 lil baby dose but doing some work.

Push was pretty damn good!
