    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    I accepted the formal offer and they are doing background check stuff now. Imagine that is more a formality than anything since there's no way I'd fail one given my history. We were hoping for an Aug. 3 start date, but the HR person that does onboarding was OOO last week, so they are just...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Me and Hyde both gonna meet in the middle and walk around at 210, lean. Him from a cut, me from copious steroids now that I'm on TRT anyway.

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    If you do it right, you shouldn't lose much strength, so could put up a gnarly total and look like Dan Green. Which feels like it'd be sick.

    **** it, take it down to 198 for the meet after this next one.

    Diet all out of whack last week, and weight ballooned up to about 195 this morning. Just a combination of social events (couple of birthday dinners) and way too many client/work dinners through the week. Cleaning it up this week and hoping to drop some bloat, but sure did end up with some...

    Just closed on the sale for the '72 Skylark. Should be setting up all the shipping this week and then will hopefully have her up here some time next week. Hoping the weather holds up so I can take her out that weekend. Maybe **** around and hit Bev Francis again for leg day lol.

    We've increased cals slightly from the deep part of the cut, but really think I'm still quite a bit below even maintenance. Think we're trending towards getting back to maintenance (and maybe even a hair above that) to start building, but coach doesn't seem in too big of a rush to throw a bunch...

    Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever)

    Delts and traps have always been strong points for me physique-wise, but really happy to be making a little progress with my weak ass chest. Would also like to see a little more of the long head of the tricep, but just gotta keep plugging along on that too. Would like to trim off a little...

    Check-ins from this weekend. Bodyweight at 183.8, fasted in the AM.

    Rears are a little narrow for my taste (215s), but will probably need replacing in the next year or two, so will probably see how fat of a tire I can fit in that wheel well without rubbing the fenders. Hoping 275s will fit without having to play around with the fenders, but depends on the...

    Yeah, there were a couple available that I would've gone for if they didn't bite at my initial offer, but preferred the color combo on this one, so it was my first choice.

    Seller accepted my initial offer, so finalizing some paperwork and the financing and shipping, but expecting to have this bad boy some time late next week or early the week after.

    I will almost certainly end up camming the **** out of the 455. Will probably ultimately play around with the headers/exhaust and other bolt on style performance upgrades, but figure the 455 ought to be pretty fun out of the box and leaves a lot of room to build a monster. Maybe I'll even have...

    Gonna run it by the ol' coaching team and see what they think about the idea. Seems like it could be fun, and honestly miss having a specific training target like I did when I was training for powerlifting meets. Might still want to dive back into that some day, too, but need to figure out...

    Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever)

    Assuming my new job gives me the type of WLB that I'm expecting it to, I'm bouncing around the idea of signing up for a show in like Q3 or Q4 of next year. Never really saw myself as a guy who'd get on stage and flex in front of strangers, but seems like it could be a fun challenge and really...

    Slept just over 8 hours last night, which is a crazy amount for me. Don't even typically get that on weekends. Feeling a little lethargic this morning because of the longer sleep (my body runs best on about 6-6.5). Gonna knock out some fasted cardio around lunchtime and then start getting some...
