Segansational's Motivation Log

[MrKleen73]

Congrats on the weight loss, good time for a win eh?

I hope things lighten up for you, trust me I know how it feels when things are amping up all around me in life while I am doing my best to stay on track with something challenging. We know you can keep things going. Like you said, sometimes just saying the thing out loud takes all of the power from it.

 

[Segansational]

amen to that ! I hate bucking hay, but its hard miserable work that leaves you feeling accomplished and like you earned the right to the steak dinner you fed by bucking hay last season.



holy ****

This has honestly been the easiest cut so far too. Like I said in my original update, some of the early drop was not fat loss - but even if half is, this has been going at a fairly good clip.

While I've used TTA on many cuts before, Incinderine is new, as is LFG Burn. I know a couple of users on AM have seen pretty dramatic changes with Incinderine too. I know early on there was some mention of GLP-1 like mechanism for some of the Incinderine ingredients...

Yes. Definitely!

Legs

Warm ups:
Foam rolling
Cat Backs
Bird Dogs
Lacrosse ball

TRX squats x TRX alt lunges, 3x12 & 3x10
TRX calf raises 3x12

BB Squats:
95x10
135x10
165x8

Foam rolling to finish.

59:49, 198 cals.

Legs really have been feeling every leg workout these days. Not sure what that's about. Still having tailbone issues ever since that flight out to LV. Honestly, it's uncomfortable to sit for stretches of time. And today while squatting under the bar I could feel it a little too. Weird.

Anyways, still keeping lighter on Legs for now due to lower back. Knees aren't loving things even with Joint Edge back in the mix, maybe a little less popping.

Might try to do one heavy workout on Sunday with some high stim pre, just to keep things fun. Pull in the slanger and do some real weight again @Dustin07

Pre: 1 scoop LFG Burn, 2 caps Inciderine
Intra: Same as prior

High stim + heavy weights = party!!!

Where’s my invite?

Where’s my invite?

Always welcome my man! Any of you guys on IG or into the social media thing? I've never tried it, but I know they have a live feature where you can join in with people. Could have a virtual meathead meet up!

I owed some pictures, so here's the new heavy bag set up with some new mats too. The gym continues to expand!

Plus here's a beaut that I plan on testing out tomorrow if the timing is right...

Lookin good!

Took 3/4 a scoop this AM of Souls 4 Sale. About 20 mins in started to feel the effects, increased HR, slight jitters and cold feeling. A bit dirty for me due to the alpha-Y / yo combo. Almost didn't buy this, but the rest of the formula got me.

Heavy Chest Day

Warm ups:
Foam rolling / lacrosse ball
Cat Backs
Curl Ups
Rotator cuff resistance bands 2x12,12
TRX chest press, 3x10

Bench Press:
95x10
135x8
165x4 - felt heavy

PAUSE

185, 2 x 10 sec static holds.

Slingshot:
185x4

46:55, 160 cals.

A little dissappointing how my strength on bench has already dropped. But I think today just wasn't an optimal WO in general. On to the next!

Pre: 3/4 scoop Souls 4 Sale - the jitters on this were actually detracting. Cold sweats had me sweating through the back of my t-shirt. Will try this again next time at only 1/2 a scoop.
Intra: Same as usual

Might not have been optimal with the effect of the pre but still pretty decent. With starting your cut and everything I’d say still holding on pretty good.
I’ll have to look up this pre sounds kinda interesting!

 

[Hyde]

Yeah with that recent weight drop you also know the calories have been where you wanted them - in a deficit. And that can make lifting also a bit harder, but it’s part of the process and really temporary. Once you level things out later the performance will come back up; don’t fear the process! Just do your best, same as usual.

Thanks fellas, needed the encouragement boost! No workout this AM, body just needed the rest and I slept through my alarm. But still planning to try and squeeze one more session in tomorrow morning before heading on vacation for the week.

Been doing one refeed/cheat meal per week, and am still losing the weight nicely. This AM check was 169.8#.

Glad you are getting to go on the vacation sounds like it will be much needed! Hope you have a blast with the family!!!

Thanks AK. Definitely needed. Going to try to shut off my brain from work. Headed to upstate NY, then off to Canada for a bit to visit some of my wife's fam. Should be a fun time. No gym plans or anything as we're just doing an airbnb, but anticipate plenty of walking while sight seeing. Bringing a modified supp stack, but will still at least have my TTA with me for maintenance while I enjoy some of the local grub. You know I have to get some poutine!

AM Cardio Session:
Foam rolling / stretching.
Bike, 27:01 mins, 176 cals.
Heavy bag session, 1x5 mins round.

Felt good this morning like I could've gone another round, but didn't want to overdo it before getting into the car for 4.5 hrs (yes, old man problems! ). But with the weight drop, my cardiovascular endurance might be coming up.

Happy 4th everyone!
