The wife and I have not done a vacation in a few years, she will usually go some where (beach) with our oldest daughter and the grand kids for a week or so.We are going to go to the mountains this year! Will probably take a few small trips to the beach too. What about you?
What? Why not? You should vacation with her even if it’s something small. We rarely do anything big but having a set vacation time with my office helps us do something!The wife and I have not done a vacation in a few years, she will usually go some where (beach) with our oldest daughter and the grand kids for a week or so.
Same here. I haven't been on a vaca in at least 2 years of course latest year being due to covid.

Thank you!! Means a lot! I definitely don’t think I’m built for sumo but agree that it will serve me well to incorporate them! I do like the idea of my back not being so crazy soreHey kat, sorry so late to this. Noticed I was tagged on the early posts but never got a notification.....
looks like it’s going really well though. I love the workout structure, it’s really similar to what I do with female clients who have your goals - super effective.
noticed you threw some sumo in. Definitely worth playing around with, depending on levers people are better suited one way or the other, however I find females often like the significant glute development from pulling sumo plus it allows for heavy squatting and pulling in the same week without smoking the lower back as much. Both have good carry over to each other so even if your bigger numbers will always be with conventional then periods of sumo will still help that.
calories are really good. Your getting great guidance on that. It’s such a great approach but so many poor coaches don’t do it and leave clients on poverty Cals and unhappy.
enjoyed catching up on the log and looking forward to seeing where you get to
I feel the same way about my recliner !!Anywhere near or by the water is a relaxing good time for me. Pics look nice!
Same!! I love being on/near the water! That’s the goal with most everything we do! Haha One of the many reasons I love my house!Anywhere near or by the water is a relaxing good time for me. Pics look nice!
HahaI feel the same way about my recliner !!
Thank you! We had a great time even though it was a quick trip!Nice pics, looks awesome!
Yes because i'm not flexible so it's a challenge when stretching I remember doing a Yoga session once and sweating more during that than most regular workouts!It is pretty funny to me how rolling can make you sweat almost as much as hard training! Does this happen to any of you guys?

Oh yeah I had it, I called them the mobility sweats!I forgot to mention that this week is deload week. I am hitting the main muscle groups with much lower volume and lower weight. Spending the week focusing on stretching, rolling, training week spots and my usual cardio. I am actually really enjoying it! I often get carried away and forget how much taking a little time to recover can help physically and mentally!

Ursa Major is some Awesome stuff!Hey guys! I planned to update yesterday but it was quite a crazy day! I had a cake order that was pretty detailed and we had some friends come over for a big crawfish boil.
Everything is going well with the Ursa Major...still at 3ml a day, alternating arms/chest area and behind my knees/shins. I updated my measurements as well just to see how things are going and I’m down 3.5”!!! 1.5 of that is my waist! Pretty dang happy with that!!
I was very surprised! Haha Especially not being in a deficit!3.5 inches!! dayum~
