I'm not wishing for that at all. Just the rye I had was harsh. Tasted awful.

Working hard the next few days. On the road a big majority as well. No gym today. Tomorrow hopefully. Pretty sore anyway at the moment. Packed my TRX and all my bands with me if the gym is a total fail. Packed some quest bars , protein for shakes and a cooler full of hb eggs and 99 ff turkey breast. Wanted to keep everything in check as close as possible. Updates when I can on what I get accomplished.
 
Awesome job on packing the food. You have some great choices in there. These would be all things I would pack as well.
 
What's putting you on the road so much, if you don't my asking?

Made it to the gym yesterday. Nothing today cuz making the trip home. Yesterday's macro plan got demolished when we went to my buddy's grandmas house for dinner. This lady was like a hit man for the mafia forcing me to eat food at her house. Chicken breast , mashed potatoes , bowl of chili , and some sort of dessert called lemon squares. I fought double hard at attempting to say no for the dessert. It was disgusting.(I don't like lemon except for g8 ) But macros should be on point today. Still got my cooler and quest bars.
 
Been a busy morning with what I see being a lengthy appointment at 2. Gym will follow ASAP. Finally feeling settled where I'm at , at least to an extent of routine and the ability to cook all my meals. Time to focus on my lifting some more. Been doing all I could with what was available. ( ie weights , time , budget ) however core and cardio have been greatly lacking and I can tell. Meals have been substandard in the aspect of volume. I been eating less but feeling somewhat more sloppy. No losses in gains and no evident body comp changes. Just how I feel I guess. But now there's not a whole lot on my schedule other than waiting out some answers from the powers that be so I can figure out a more prevalent game plan. So I'm in a hold patter for the moment , might as well fill it with weights. :-)

to the contrary...
I find anyone -- lil old lady or not -- that tries to impose their will on me, without my acquiescence and in spite of my objections, to be rude in and of itself

it's all in your perspective
I am past the stage in life where I have to feel the need to please others...
such is why I am divorced :D

Nice back workout! I love meadows rows.
Click to expand...

I really enjoyed my work out today. The split timing and shake Intra was a nice change to the flow. Felt like I coulda kept at it for a while but figured I'd done plenty. I'd have to say that the meadows row is def one of my fav row variations. Never heard of it till I got on here but it's a staple in my back routine now.

Boredom has set in. Spent the last hour or so doing various combinations of foam rolling and lax ball work with intermittent core work in the mix. Time to make some dinner
 
Tweaked something in my neck/trap area yesterday. Sux. But knew I didn't have anything on the schedule today so took my first full scoop of g8. Crashed early and racked a solid 11 hrs. Neck still tweaked pretty good but headed to the gym anyway. Lots of stretching and mobility work planed. See how all that feels and drive on from there
 
Had another killer session in the gym despite my sore neck. Did some light cardio and tons of stretching and a lot of it went away. Bout to destroy some lunch then I'll get my routine posted.

1 hb egg white
Less than 1/4 oz shredded cheese
All mixed in with some pre mixed salad
1/2 tbs dressing

1 hb egg white
 
Training much longer sessions than normal. Some reasons due to the fact that I was missing harder training due to lifting in the garage and some reasons because the extra "therapy" is a much needed distraction at the moment. But all reasons aside this was how my routine went down.

2 sets @ 60

I been killing it in the new gym. Only thing is I hate that 70lbs on no machine/cable set up feels the same as any other. So a lot of my weights look like they are regressing which aggravates me. Just been going with what feels right and I'll progress from there

That drives me crazy too. I wish they showed actual weight resistance. My gym has a cable machine that 30 is the same as another's 50, and that's the same as another's 80.

Grr.

So yeah, gotta spend a second to feel exactly where you're at for that exercise and not really know what your true RM's are.
