The meets took a lot more out of me than I originally thought. Passed on anything heavy...
nice thing about being gymrats is that if our a.d.d. kicks in there is always another goal to chase short term to keep us focused, but we'll always be somehow strength and fitness focused. I'll...
Agreed, and yet, I keep slipping back into the trap. Right now I am trying to decide what my final form will be so to speak. Am I going to try to rebuild a ton of muscle with intention once out of...
The keto thing has been really easy the last 2 days. I thought it would be more difficult switching from carbs as long as it’s been since doing the cyclic keto last fall, but I’ve felt great...
dude that is so true. I've probably said 100 times over the years that even if the supplements off me a 1/2% improvement, my discipline and output are probably 99.5% more on point.
although...
I think a big part of the top paragraph is that when not spending the money on the supplements you don't have the same urgency to stick to things. When supplementing non-staple items most of us...
I could be wrong here but I do think this is where guys like you and I need to be careful and dilligent because I sometimes notice the same thing, so then its easy to get a little sloppy. All the...

A few other random thoughts this AM. Feel free to skip if all you care about is workout stuff:
1. I was off all supplements during my vacation, not even a multi or anything. No pre-WO, etc. I...
Honestly wished I had gotten in more workouts since it was well stocked and kept up, plus good lighting!
Thanks! Definitely was a great trip. We're already trying to figure out if/when we could go...
Thanks fellas, got back late last night after a flight delay. But immigration/customs was a breeze and the trip was great!
Spent the entire time essentially at the pool (our kids are fish!), but...
Had a good PT / Chiro session yesterday then went home and lifted with my daughter. She is trying to get back into it so we have been working out here and there together. Her schedule is way...
That was my thinking, there will be zero gym access and I'm guessing limited walking where we are going but lots of swimming if I want to. Generally speaking I'm going to go under the assumption...
Oh yeah on the nutrition, that is actually very smart. Getting your body out of the famine mode before going will make it a lot less likely that you will store as much fat from your looser eating...
Yea, I think a lot of this is just being deconditioned far more than I think I have been in rememberable times. So a lot of this is just getting back to a more useable body right now. I am so...
Considering you aren't wasting away like Jim, safe to assume a lot of this is more just conditioning that will bounce back ?
I'm actually switching my nutrition back up a little, more towards...
That’s awesome man….great workout. It’s great to see everything continuing to progress so well. It really is wild how good you feel after the “torture collar”. When you’ve hurt and been limited...
Another productive day in the books. Man strength is way down, hard to believe how much work a lot of this is now.
Most of these sessions are movement, and me just working on firing the muscles...
Had a great visit at the chiro, got a massive pop out of my thoracic right where it is tightest. Slight soreness from it this morning but it was freeing when it happened. Also had a lot more pops...
I'm feeling really good today. I have had a couple of nights here and there the past month were a dull aching behind the knee would wake me up in the middle of the night and I'd be unable to find...
Glad to hear your knee is doing better, and that you were able to do some squats, that’s great. I feel you on that scar tissue pop…. I was finally able to do more than just my rehab work on legs...

Dodgers are going to be a tough team this year too, I think. I figured M's sweeping the 'stros would be a tone setter and here we are giving it up to the Padres this week so IDK lol. I'm pretty...
We were actually nervous about that Series because we had went through so much to beat the Dodgers, and then we had to play the Astros, and I thought the Astros had a better team than the Dodgers...
I saw the Astros play in the World Series back in 2021 versus the Braves in Houston. Was an incredible experience. Crowd was so energized. Want to say it was game 2 (maybe 3). We won the game, but...
