Layoffs are BS. My dad got let go 2 yrs before retirement... They closed this plant down over here and he was one of the last few ensuring the safety of the closure and demo. Over twenty yers and bam, right up the ass...

On a different point, I'm MLB all the way. Nothing else comes close to baseball

Yeah, we have a lot of people who've worked 20-30 years hoping they get to stay few more years to make it to retirement. If the CEOs share the pain, I would be OK with it. Unfortunately they get to leave with those golden parachutes.

I love playing ball. Down to softball now. Can't play hard ball anymore. Haha. Do you play or fan of a team ?

 

[fumoney]

First noodz taken this morning. Tan from softball blurs the arms a bit. Still soft, but muscle shape starting to come back. Fist placed strategically to cover my belly.

Adding another Achilles to make daily total to be 6 per day. Upping fish oil by 1 as well. Shoulders are bothering me a bit. I definitely need to break up the upper body with legs somewhere in between to give my shoulder joints a break.

Another good day of workouts. Starting to get better pump each day and veins during workouts are ridiculous. A lot of sweating today. Not sure if it is due to M-sten or due to weather. Felt great whatever the reason.

No signs of noticeable strength increase yet.

Visually, muscles are definitely rounding into shape and there is a difference in the mirror. No boobs yet or sensitive nipples. Watching that carefully, just in case.

Legs tomorrow then break on Thursday for softball.

 

[wasme]

Nice incline press numbers FU.... and glad to hear no boobs yet...

5/8 Day 9

Weight 228.0 lbs (+1.0 lbs)

No change in weight from yesterday. Snacked on some chicken sausages and ezekiel bread with peanut butter before I started my commute.

Appetite is still status quo.

Shoulder pain is still there. Hope the break from upper body work does the trick.

Legs today
Softball tomorrow
Back Friday
Softball Saturday

This should do the trick.

 

[drewsicle3210]

Serious volume work. How is the stamina going?

 

[fumoney]

Serious volume work. How is the stamina going?

I usually don't have issues there so I didn't note it as a major difference, but stamina has been slightly above average. No issues with energy or having to catch my breath. I am observing the burns to see if lactic acid build up is preventing me from finishing a set. No major difference there yet either.

 

[murk01]

fu-money. im in!

Welcome murk. Always good to have you join.

At least you have that problem solved now brother..

 

[fumoney]

5/8 Day 9 continued

Macros
3,159 calories Calories (338p, 211c, 107f)

Weird appetite. Don't know..... Made some guacamole with jalapeños, grilled some chicken and dipped chicken into the guacamole. More salmon, Ezekiel bread, chicken sausage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, black beans and quinoa.

Workout
None.

Will pull double duty tomorrow packer style. Softball + leg day. Shoulder is still bothering me so I am resting it one more day. I know leg day doesn't affect shoulders directly, but I couldn't imagine loading it up and squatting. Let my GF go to town on getting the knots out. It was painful and I am thinking I also have a mild sprain in my joints. Will continue with higher Achilles and fish oil dosing. This will not affect lifting. It's definitely related to inclines on chest day so I will have to find a replacement. My ankles are getting a little tender as well. Just an observation and not a show stopper.

 

[packers6211]

Kill it fufu!! Man next Friday is our first Friday night one pitch so I'm getting super pumped so I can smack balls like Master FUFU!! Wasme don't even thing about it lol!

 

[fumoney]

5/9 Day 10

Weight 229.0 lbs (+2.0 lbs)

I definitely feel bigger even though I gained just 2 lbs. My pants fit the same way, so I am happy at this point.

Skin is getting really oily. I am making it a point to wash my face several times a day. I definitely feel warmer as well and now I know it's not just the weather.

Muscle hardness is still present and it seems to be the easiest result to see. Really good for feeling confident. Sometimes, so many things you do are affected by your state if mind and confidence begets results.

1/3 of the way in this run and I should start to see more of what M-sten RX can do. I think the next 7 days are going to be key.

Revised outlook to stay on track.

Softball/Legs today

Lethargic or just lack of sleep?

Felt very lethargic. Didn't yawn at all so I don't think it was lack of sleep.

 

[LiveToLift]

Jamaica seems like fun. Haven't been, but will in next couple years.

It was an amazing place to visit. We have already decided we will be going back for our anniversary next year. Completely revitalizing experience fu.

That is a strange dip for chicken! My appetite has been insane the last few days as well. Careful with that shoulder bro!

Just from those sides you are mentioning it sounds like you are on my brother! Can't wait to see how the next few weeks treat you sir!

5/9 Day 10 continued

Macros
3,094 calories (380p, 173c, 98f)

Simple meals today. Protein plus broccoli and sweet potatoes. Finished off all remaining salmon. Also had a ton of grilled chicken and chicken sausages.

Workout

Softball
Lost 23-3. Everybody on that team used the same bat. WTF. This was a smaller field and they hit 10+ homeruns. No limit in our league. I went 0-3 and made a dumb base running error. A sharp fielders choice that the short stop dove to get. Fly out and a stinking pop up.

at the gym

Leg Press
90x15
180x15
270x15
360x15
450x15
540x10
Drop 360x8
Drop 180x8
Drop 90x8
Up an down pyramid on leg press. Full range of motion. 4 seconds down and 4 seconds up for all weights except 540.

Leg Curl (hoist)
133x12
133x12
133x12
133x12
Slow controlled reps. Held contraction for 4 seconds.

Leg Extensions
100x10
100x10
100x10
100x10
Explosive raise, slow negatives at 3-4 seconds.

Body Masters Squats
90x8
180x8
270x8
360x8
Slow lowering of weight, then explosive rise. This was mostly to make sure the form was on point.

Leg work was done in higher reps and in slow controlled reps. I feel like I have to watch movement more than ever as risk for injury is higher in my opinion. Joints are tender and dry and now I am getting Agmatine like pumps. I pulled my muscles several times just stretching. Need to be on high alert.

I have been stating that muscle hardness was the first effect seen. Oily skin is definitely second. It is not letting up no matter how many times I wash my face. Strange though. No breakouts for few days. Muscle pumps have definitely come on in the last few days. I had few minor instances of pulled muscles that I had to stretch out of.

The leg work was easier than expected. Signs of strength increase ? Can't confirm yet.

Libido is STRONG right now. GF is very happy !!!

Upping my fish oil again and will up Achilles to 6 per day. Also adding another gallon of water to daily regimen. Hope these help combat joint issues.

We've been to Aruba, Bahamas and Mexico. Always wanted to goto Jamaica but let the media affect our judgement. About how dangerous it is outside resort area. We tend to rent a car and venture out. Definitely on our list for next trip outside US.

Appetite is still in check, but definite signs of T increase otherwise. Thanks for the confirmation. I think M-Sten RX is having a positive affect on me as well. The next 2 1/2 weeks should be fun.

 

[fumoney]

5/10 Day 11

Weight 228.0 lbs (+1.0 lbs)

Sitting at 228 this morning. Shoulder pain continues this morning. It hasn't gotten better so the massage aggravated it or I have a sprain in one of the joints. Don't think it's a tear.

Shouldn't deter me from my back workout tonight. Tomorrow is softball, so another natural break to rest it. Sunday will be shoulder day then leg in Monday and Chest on Tuesday. If this schedule does not improve it, then I may need to rest it further.

I gotta stop being stubborn and get smith inclines off my routine. It definitely caused it. Unfortunately now I can't do any chest presses or Flyes without pain. Will search the Internet for appropriate replacement. Maybe I need to get one of those electro stimulation thing !!! Haha.
