Weights up, scales down…

[akboom87]

If you are enjoying training, don’t be shy about that! That’s how you enrich your life with it. Do what you find satisfying or value.

That is a very important part to enjoy and make it where it’s still work and still productive to whatever goals one has but enjoying the process.

Think I started with really good numbers to base the percentages off. Things are feeling great. This is hard to describe, feels like I’m finally tuning into more power and drive things seem to be a lot more explosive if that makes any sense at all.

Really excited for this 8 week block.

I was so tempted to do more squats with more weight they just grooving so easy.

Also going to do a scale check tomorrow morning, if I’m not at new low I’m dang close judging by clothes and mirror.

Also are chickens are laying eggs still got more to come but we have been clocking in about dozen every day now for the last 4 days! So needless to say been eating a lot of eggs.

 

[akboom87]

Not quite a new low, but very close.

Sounds like really good news, if you feel you look lean enough to be at a new low, but aren't. That's a pretty good sign you added some muscle.

I think I’ve definitely added some tissue just looking back at old pictures. Not going to really change anything up just going to keep plugging along at what I have been doing!

a couple of our old broody hens past egg years started eating eggs from our new (this years chicks) layers so my wife moved them into the meat bird pen to figure out which one was the egg eater. Now that she's got it dialed down to the two culprits, I suspect they'll be going on a ride in the chicken plucker this weekend
