Good luck with everything, Chris - we're not worried about the results of this log, just that your family is healthy!
What type of diet is that?
Yeah it is. The book really impressed me with how he incorporated things I knew worked but was trying to figure out how to get it into a great system. Once I realized it was already packaged in Fortitude Training I wanted to run it for a while. Will give me more insight and ways to incorporate it into the workouts I create. I tend to go overboard with volume and intensity tactics for myself and cause issues but this looks like it will be right up my ally as far as volume intensity and auto-regulation.Scott Stevenson definitely seems like he is worth a listen. In videos and articles on Elite FTS, I was always impressed with his logic and passion, and one of the guys on the Gear'd Up podcast has made some huge progress on his Fortitude training while still staying healthy enough to train jiu-jitsu several times a week as well. At 280lbs w abs. That's a rare combination!
Thanks Tom!!!glad things are going well for you chris!!!
Things are looking pretty good considering everything that’s been going on
Damn It Man! My legs are sore as hell! I have some serious DOMS from the last muscle rounds workout. Getting up and down on the toilet is brutal. I guess I had that coming after not training legs for a month. My legs haven't been sore like this in a couple years.
Took my morning dose of Lipodrene and still impressed with what 1 cap and some coffee does for you. Not fasting right now because I want to spur on some protein synthesis. This morning I had 6 oz sirloin fajita meat for breakfast. I have an 8 oz sirloin steak for lunch, had it cooked rare at the steakhouse last night. Should be good for reheating!will eat that with 2 oz mixed nuts. Then I will have a protein shake and some coconut oil for my pre-workout meal around 4:30 then get ready to train tonight.
After the soreness from this weekend I might just opt to do another week of just Muscle Rounds to get my body ready for this onslaught. Then again can simply just suck it up and go for it. I think I will suck it up and go for it. Use it as a break-in week, the following week I should have a better idea of what numbers I will be able to use.
Should try Finish Line..works great for DOMS
I am typically someone who doesn't get DOMS unless I have been unactive. After 30 years of abusing myself I am pretty good at clearing up lactic acid or whatever other metabolic damage happens with hard training. Once active again for a couple weeks it will start getting very hard for me to get sore. I am lucky in that I can literally crush myself and still be fine, with barely any DOMS. However when it has been a month and I go hit it hard... yeah that hurts!!!!
What exactly is Finish Line for? Is it a lactic acid buffer or something of the like?
Nice looking profile. Depending on price and flavor, I may have to try that. I have a pretty good one that has been a staple for a while. What flavors and do you all have any samples?
Keeping nuts with you is a sure way to help you sneak those fats in through the day and keep cals up!
Definitely and I typically have a large tin of them here at work with me to snack on for that very reason. I just need to replenish it. I got a 20% off discount code from True Nutrition this weekend. I dropped about $200 on protein, carbs, and various staples. Can't pass up a 20% off at TN!!!! No way! Too bad I didn't have some extra cash I would have gotten more staples.
Had some chaos this weekend and only got one Muscle Round workout in but hit up full body to get everything hit.

So part of the drama this weekend was the Elderly Vietnamese guy who had been staying in Mom's room at the Nursing home with his wife came over in the middle of the night grabbed her face and tried to kiss her and stuck his tongue in her mouth... When she told us about it we called the police. The nursing homes response to it was just to move rooms and let the guy stay there. They didn't even notify us that anything happened because she "signed herself in" I yelled at that nurse and told her she was full of SHlT!!!! That they call us for everything else they need and that they were trying to sweep this under the rug! Now that son of a bitch is still staying in the old room with his wife. He is apparently also pretty out of it too and so the cops didn't take him to jail. Said the judge would not charge the man due to his poor mental faculties, and it seemed he was confused... She agreed not to have him taken in since the police pretty much said nothing would happen. So they let it go... I told the workers up there if I see that old man near her, or approaching her again that I am phucking him up like an able bodied man that sexually assaulted my Mother In Law. So most of the weekend was spent up there with her making sure she felt safe and was okay emotionally. She was understandably scared by all of it.
Will be hitting up Lower Body load and Upper body Pump tonight.
You have no f*cking idea how hot I was!!!!What the hell????
That's some serious bullshyt.
Unfortunately, you know they won't be as forgiving when you bust the old man's head open.

That is crazy ! watch decking the old perv. he would probably sue you and the judge would look at you and him and throw the book at you.
Trust me 12 years ago this 21 year old 6'5" 250lb guy slapped my wifes ass at Oktoberfest and I kicked him in the nuts and beat the crap out of him. He pressed charges and tried to sue me. I fought it and by time it got to court the judge looked at him and me and told the guy you gotta be kidding me. This 5' 9" ,40 + guy did this too you? (He had picks that were taken at the hospital). I hope you learned your lesson not to touch other men's wive! looks to me like you had what was coming to you. The assault and battery charges were dropped and I didn't have to pay a dime for his medical bills. I did have to waste my time and pay my attorney around $3k. sometimes it is good to live in NE Oklahoma.
Yeah, no doubt. Not to mention something in this old mans head would probably pop if I so much as ear slapped him to get his attention...
Thanks MARK_Great job with this log. You went through some crazy moments. Lipodrene Elite seemed to do its job. Your final review is very thorough. Thanks.
I guess I would have done everything as you did. Keep calm and analyze. But WTH? Sounds like an episode of a bad soap opera.... damn.
