It’s terrible, always comes between 9-930 and I still have a couple hours at that point. People always say just run out and run back but if anything EVER happened that would be my license no questions asked.

Totally understand. I've actually used a patients bathroom while my crew was doing CPR on them... sucks getting old bro!
 
Update…..I survived the neck lift.

Was having chow and the surgeon sits down with me. He proceeds to slam a regular coke and three packs of the orange crackers that are stuffed with peanut butter. The man is a savage 🤣

NTD

30 minutes cardio done on elliptical. Kept the HR between 220-125.

Check in with Kurt this afternoon although with the way things have been trending (positive) I don’t foresee any changes.

Im sure you meant 120-125...cause thems V-TACH Numbas!🤫
 
Check in done. Just as I suspected, no changes to the plan. Kurt is happy with the progress even though my weight is up from last week. I had that illness so it was probably not a true reflection of what is going on. I’m still down from the week prior to being sick. I attached the weights rather than type it out. Bloodwork is scheduled for 5/10. Ready for everything to hopefully come back clean and blast again. Not going to get to light heavyweight on 200 test.IMG_2354.jpegIMG_2355.jpegIMG_2321.jpegIMG_2341.jpegIMG_2358.jpeg
 
5/3 Lower

Good session. Progress on most stuff. I’ve had 3 sessions now where I’m stuck at 7 reps on the top set of leg curl. Decided to cut it at one set today. No progress on the belt squat but that’s my hardest/heaviest. Not worried about it as I’m maintaining what I’ve had.

New toy arrived at the gym so I had to give it a go. Arsenal pendulum squat. Never used one before. Smoother than a hack. I may give up the belt squat and switch to this. Haven’t decided yet.

Very jealous. I was traveling and got to use one of those arsenal pendulum squats and loved it!
 
5/4 Upper

A tale of two workouts today. Felt nice and fresh on front half. Progressed on everything there but when I started with lats, right away I knew I didn’t have it. This week upper gets hit two more times so I just cut some planned volume in anticipation of the two future sessions.

Just finished 30 minutes cardio. Easy pacing around 120 HR. Getting some steps, have some yard work to do.

5/6 Lower

Decent session. Still no movement on the leg curl but maintained. Same with calves. Up on everything else.

Had a brain fart and forgot the EZ bar only weighs 25 pounds so even though my weights is lower it’s still an increase from the last session.

Plan for 30 minutes cardio after work.

I still don't know how much to consider for the weight of the Plate Load Leg Press! I just aim to come away sore!
 
5/7 upper

Nice little bounce back on the pull movements today. Continued to progress on the push movements. Now that I’m back on the incline smith press I decided since I’m already there to do my shoulder press on the smith rather than the Cybex plate loaded machine. Less wasted time adding more weight and more feeder sets.

Plan for 30 minutes of cardio after work. I don’t know what was going on yesterday but halfway through my cardio yesterday I felt weak AF. Almost hypo feeling, really had to dial back the pace to keep the HR where I wanted it.IMG_2375.jpeg
 
5/9 Lower

Solid session although, I’m getting annoyed with the leg curl. Going on 2-3 weeks and haven’t been able to budge.
Even the bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch pre workout couldn’t help me. Have check ins this afternoon. I’m down another two pounds on average so I don’t see any changes coming. IMG_2530.jpeg
 
Check in with Kurt is done. Plan is for labs on Monday. If all looks good, we will start another blast and bring food up. Keeping the same food for one more week.

Dropped another two pounds and ended up with an average of 187.6 Hit a new low of 186.5 during the week as well.IMG_2535.jpegIMG_2534.jpegIMG_2514.jpegIMG_2472.jpeg
 
5/10 Upper

Felt good this session. Weights were moving nice and smooth. Did my 30 minutes of cardio and got some steps to start the day.

Normally I run 2 on, 1 off but with my blood work on Monday it will be an extra day of rest which tbh I’m looking forward to. Hopefully sets me up to blast through the leg curl Tuesday morning.IMG_2536.jpegIMG_2537.jpeg
 
NTD…..sort of

Spent the whole day hauling mulch back and forth with the wheelbarrow and spreading that shit around. Racked up 14K steps doing it. I’m completely smoked, I don’t know how guys who do manual labor jobs and also live the lifestyle. Mad respect cuz I’m not cut out for this shit 🤣

You are a better man than me! I bought 14 bags of mulch this weekend and I put it off. Hoping it gets stolen this week so I don’t have to do it. 😂

14 bags! That’s nothing! This is like you complaining about 5 minutes of HIIT 🤣

I had 8 cubic yards, I didn’t know what that really looked like when I ordered it. It’s a huge fucking pile and only got through 2/3 of it

lol 100% 5 minutes of HIIT was killer 😂

8 cubic yards is a lot for one person!
 
5/13 Lower

Good session. Finally added a rep to the leg curl. Took everything to fight for that one.

95% of the bloodwork came back. Looks pretty damn good but I’m waiting on Cystatin C and E2. Hematocrit was the only thing off (55) which is odd because the last two checks while using 600 test was 48. I thought I was adequately hydrated going in but perhaps not. I’ll recheck it a month from now but I’m not overly concerned. Looking like we will have blast off imminently
