I did keto with success a while back. I don’t want that again because my energy is soooo low. I learned during that process that that I have better energy and feel more alert without certain carbs. I’m not entirely sure *which* certain carbs, so I avoid most of them.
I have been really watching my carb intake the last 3 weeks.. and have noticed that breads make me feel like crap as well.



Way to kill it!

I'm gretting the work in. I've decided not to log non- compound lifts to save rests. I'm resting between 30s to a minute on all other exercises. Going to start a new meadows routine up in the next couple days.

Also decided I'm going back to school. Ad if I didn't already overload my schedule

Whatcha going for?
Undecided. I need a bachelor's ASAP, so likely something that doesn't really interest me in the short run.

Thanks Jared.

It’s actually 315. I hit it comfortably last November before joint pain set me back again. From 2014-then I couldn’t barely go over 250 or any real volume over 200

I thought it moved pretty well dude...honestly, if you got a lift off and had the comfort of knowing you had a spotter i think you had another 5 for sure, maybe 10 in you if you can grind.

I haven’t heard from Simon in a little while. I’ll check in and see if I can get a response.

Brian is active on Facebook - and is dealing with hurricane damage and restoration.

Bench triples. I’m still doing accessory work


Barbell Bench Press 313.33

Set 1 : 45x5
Set 2 : 45x5
Set 3 : 105x5
Set 4 : 105x5
Set 5 : 135x5
Set 6 : 135x5
Set 7 : 155x5
Set 8 : 185x3
Set 9 : 205x3
Set 10 : 235x10

To note, I believe my previous bicep tendon issues had to do with wrist placement. When it bends a certain way while under a load it’s sore (or was). The wrist wraps seem to eliminate that, I just need to make sure they go on early and get tight when I get to 40%+.

I never even considered you might be bending your wrists too much on bench, that’s profound.

Hadn’t lifted in 11 days...

Decided to try and bench Pr anyway. 325xFAIL

It moved fast and then I just felt weaker in my right arm so I came down. Came down by choice, so I think I could’ve fought through it.

Anyway, I’ll do some light stuff the next few days and then jump back into my program.

Frick! First post since 10/2018??

Ok, so January 2019 I decided to go back to school full time. January +1 day 2019 I was given an amazing promotion. I decided to keep the full time student status going during this new job. Spring, summer fall, all of it...

Great news, I’ve maintained a 4.0 while I rocked it!

Bad news, I dropped the workouts.

I’ve taken a break from school this summer to get my head right, and I took this fall off because I was offered another promotion... that COVID took from me.

Anyway, I’m coming back help hold myself accountable. I still have my home gym and a badass treadmill. I’m moving my gym into a larger garage to give myself more room for my equipment and exercises. (Current garage has an 82” ceiling. New garage has a 180” ceiling)

Anyway, I’ll put together a ramp-up program to get back to shtuff. I’ll creep into your threads as I find your current logs so I can find ideas. It’s amazing what I’ve lost as far as ideas in the last 2 years.

Glad you have been doing well with school and career! Good to see you back and looking to roll back into things. Do what you enjoy - that’s what you will be able to stick to.
Yes... back to the basics. Gonna roll (slowly) into Meadows. I always loved his training and my body always felt good.

Well. I wasn't consistent. For several reasons, but ultimately because I didn't just do it.

I moved my gym to a larger shed and bought a leg press/hack squat/calf raise combo.

IMG_2286.JPG


IMG_2256.JPG


It has taken 3 weekends to complete the move, so today was my first day working out sine 5/12, I think. I started 531 almost a month ago, then got sick for four days, then the move.

I plan to try and log again for accountability when I can. I am still in college fulltime with a fulltime job.

I am using the creeping death Mountain Dog template with variations mixed in for 531, bands, and TRX for exercises where I don’t have machines.

Today was squat singles up to a few at 315 and deadlifts up to 365. Deadlifts will be combined with leg day until I prove to be more consistent.

Today: Band stretches, band squats, squats, ham curls banded and ham curls on a lying bench, Leg press and RDLs.

My diet is being adjusted. It's not bad, but I never reduced it to offset not working out. Growing older doesn't help.

Here’s to hoping this run is more consistent and productive. I feel better with a fitness routine.

Cable tricep extensions

Presses. The goal was to find an easy single but my boss texted me right before 185 to meet him early.

185x9. 2 in the tank.

All accessory stuff was light with 15-50 reps.

I am still figuring out my current training maxes. Once I do, I will hybrid back into mountaindog/531.

Turned 40 Friday. It isn't so bad.

Bike ride or treadmill after work, then homework if I'm disciplined.

Have a great day.

I ordered a couple more things today. Shipments are 2-4 months out, unfortunately. The oblique stand will be mainly for hyperextensions. The cable stand is Titan.

The tubing I’ll pick up from Lowe’s to make protective guards to use the barbell as a “smith” like movement against the rack without damaging the knurl.

I am as excited to lift as I have ever been. This is a great feeling, and I missed it.
