NW Indiana about 5 mins south of the Michigan border. My exit is the last exit on I-94 before you enter into Michigan.

It's freezing here. What is wrong with you guys?

Our grandparents were lazy and settled where they landed off the boat. I wish I could go back in time, rough up my grandfather and tell him to head south!!
 
Wow.. a week.

I deadlifted this morning until 275. It was too loud in the garage for how early it was.

Work has me super busy.

That's all for now.

I got a couple of evil stares when i went upstairs after doing rack pulls at everyone elses dinner time... my bad haha
 
Deadlifts again, up to 435x3, 485x2, 525xF. I think I just gave up. There wasn't a stop or a pause, as soon as the bar got above my knee I just put it down.

My neighbor saw my post online and said it was no worries and she didn't mind if I deadlifted on weekday mornings. That was only up to 275 or something.

After yesterday's workout my wife said she doesn't care what the neighbor says, she better not hear that sh1t while she's trying to sleep. Says she even feels the vibration in the house.

Thanks and thanks!

I know I'm MIA on everyone's logs but I'm spending my free time studying for a promotion test. Please forgive, and I'll be back when I ace it.

Today I benched while studying at 0300.

Something like this-

Ohp and rows

Superset with banded hammer Curls x never counted because I was reading

Bar x10/10
95x10/10
115x10/10
135x10/10/10/10

All paused

The more I move the bar at light weights the better the shoulder feels.

When is the test? Good luck brother! And the logs will always be there, kill that test like you do your deads!
 
Thanks everyone! No clue when the test will be but at least they *temporarily* gave me the promotion until we test.

I've gotten lazy and consumed with chores.

Decided to squat light today, work on form, and get some volume in. Plan was 5x5 my inside left quad started fatiguing.

Barbell Squat 262.5

Set 2 : 135x5
Set 3 : 135x5

I spent the day yesterday burning debris from that hurricane months ago. I had two fires going and it still took all day. That heat will beat you up - I wish I had done it in the winter

It did. We just put in hardwood and that'll eat all that up in our 0% finance agreement. Thanks Mark.

Thanks Hyde!
 
I've been slacking for multiple reasons. My cadet came home this past week for a few days. I've had some late work nights. And finally, lack of consistent training makes me lazy.

Sunday I did rows, 135# 10x20. I worked late tonight and last night but hopefully I find enough motivation to get up in the AM.

Diet is so-so. I eat well until I'm in a position that I can't prepare for.

Making a salad for tonight.

I need to set a program again. I'm good at following them better than just getting in and doing the minimum.

Hope you all are doing well!

First Saturday in a while that I have nothing important or pressing. Unfortunately, we have our nieces over and unless I sneak a lift in here or there I can't have a focused workout. They keep begging me to workout with them but they just eat to hang from bands on the power rack.

 
Hit my cell up. Last time I texted you it didn't go through, like it was off

Lol. You need spotters, put them to work. Lol
 
Happy Easter everyone!
 
Wow it's been almost a month...

I've been slacking in the gym but focusing on work.

Good news: Yesterday I officially applied for the job I was temporarily assigned.

Bad News: Effective tomorrow my competition gets a shot at the temporary spot until we test.

I'm still sure it's mine though. My workload just got cut in half until then.

I did squats yesterday, probably 20 sets or so but only up to 225. Just getting my body moving.

Today I did shoulders, paused OHP up to 135. 4 sets of rows, 5 sets of pushdowns, 3 sets of banded rear fly, and 3 sets of band facepulls.

Goal is to get consistent again this week and check in here on your logs at least a couple times a week

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Southerners are friendly people. A good portion of Floridian's are cranky snowbirds and their cracked out children. lol

So that's not the norm there? What do you say to someone you're passing by? Do you ignore each other?

Service is good in restaurants... but when I moved to Toronto (from a town an hour away where everyone was friendly), it just seemed that people here were too self centered. When im out for walks/runs i always say hi to people, but sometimes i get the wtf stare lol. Maybe it is the norm for BIG cities?

Just found where I was friendly and extremely relaxed.
