solid gym day for hotel gym! yeah those sleep cycles / routines are really hard to keep dialed when travelling. I always struggle to fall asleep that first night on a work trip like that in a... -
You still got a good workout in even after the terrible sleep.👍

Hotel Workout Did a combo of my prescribed exercises for today plus a few add ons. Working sets, Machine Shoulder Press, 4 sets V-bar triceps pressdowns, 2 sets Smith Machine BB Rows, 2 sets...

I’d say the big thing is to maintain control of your diet, whichever way you want to go - if you do that, you’ll be happy regardless because things won’t go off the rails.
-
Completely understandable, you are in a pretty decent spot to go in either direction. If you are able to maintain a deficit you will be good for a rebound, and if you go maintenance it will be a...

Had a kid free day with my wife up in NYC yesterday. Very rare occasion that we do this sort of thing just her and I. Honestly, it's a lot of work to make it happen since we don't have family...
-
It's a great question. I am loosely going maintenance probably the next two weeks - more damage control than anything else - honestly because of my chaotic work schedule. I'm on the road the...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Thanks really appreciate it. Think starting at 38 lifting full time is helping me. Not as much wear and tear and still room to improve

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.True. Also think getting older just starting to take a little more time to recover from max effort.
-
Great session….congrats on the PR. That PR is even more impressive because even though the weights felt heavy you pushed through and was rewarded.😎👍
-
The thing about powerlifting (that I often have to remind myself of) is that it’s okay for it to feel heavy - it’s supposed to! And when you go on & step into your fears, you find yourself capable...
-
I've been watching dapack train since like 2007 or something like that from the old forums when he shifted from bodybuilding to powerlifting and this SOB won't stop raising the bar. I always saw...

Sounds like things are going well and getting that biceps split is a fun moment in the diet!!! I forgot, do you intend to do maintenance and then go deeper into a cut, or try to regain some mass?
-
Another session in the books. Today was focused on leg catch up again. Basically there's 1-2 leg exercises per day on my split since it's meant to be maintenance only, and due to time I usually...

good luck homie!

Get in there and toot that horn Sir! Good luck!

Hope your interview goes well, and glad you have the right mindset.👍

Yeah, I'm honestly really pleased how this all went. It gives me confidence too that I can throw down / kick it into high gear when needed. I'm still not stage lean or anything by any stretch of...
-
yeah man I agree. I don't really believe in spot targeting too much, but I keep reading more bro science suggesting carnitine to the ab area is more effective so I've been doing that lately. I...
-
Congratulations on keeping your cut progress! This is really great, getting to look how you preferred for your trip but also not having to give it up after all your work.

Quick mid-week update: Maybe unsurprisingly my fitbit readiness score right now has been trending down and looked pretty low. Also been noticing a higher than normal awake period throughout the...
-
I apply my carnitine gel either to chest/traps on upper body days, or quads/thighs for lower or cardio days. Unsure it makes a difference placement wise locally, but I figure if so might as well...

Man I feel for you that is not easy and makes it so hard on us men. We have to work and provide so we stay the course but man it sucks all the sacrifices. A great looking session to get back...

Everything you are saying makes complete sense, trust me, I was on the burnout train there for a bit. The last 3 months of last year and the first 3 months of this year was pretty ridiculous for...

Yeah, it is hard to keep your head up during pitfalls, but if you are taking 2 steps forward and one back you are making great progress and honestly, I am sure it feels that way but is probably...
