Hahaha yea, that is why I should never write out plans that havent actually happened.
Funny Stories:
Pretty sure wifey bought chicken hearts thinking they were thighs, I didn’t tell her because she never tries new things and after watching Evan’s video I really wanted to try them but truthfully I chickened out (pun intended). But I tried one, even cold it wasnt bad, little gamey. hot it would be pretty good the way Evan did it.
Johnny asked me if I had a mosquito bite on the back of my leg (its a weird derma bump or something). Sofi quickly pointed out those were just my calves. I don’t feel bad about the chicken hearts anymore
Everybody natty until the roids are being passed out hahaha. Then it’s “what should I take?” And no I don’t feel great about selling roids but I sure feel better about that than I would being sponsored by BB.com…I mean until the paycheck came.
SQUATERDAY

TRX Body Weight Squats 310

Finally finished a squat workout, it felt great. Only minor quad tendonitis that went away and a little knee pain from in the hole. Minor back pump. I have my bar placement on lock now too. Things feeling good.
515+s weren’t super fast but my back was tight the whole way.
Weight fluctuating a ton Woke up 95.5kg but it quickly dropped to 94.7. I can chalk up the weight to my diet sometimes not being the most “digestion friendly” and some water weight. I keep trying to keep my Arimidex dosage as low as possible but I know I need 0.5mg ED right now.
If you haven’t seen this guys videos check them out. Honest about everything and shows what he does to still be as healthy as possible doing his profession.

BWAHAHAHA Yea had Plan 1 and 2 depending on how I felt but I opted for Plan C. Paused low this time. Old high pauses were a defacto block pull but lately my back (rounding in deads and squats) has been a weak point so low pauses, which gave my christmas tree a ridiculous pump that kind of fkt the rest of the workout. (same pump as last time.)
What muscles are the yellow? In Green is the Lat, red the erector and outlined in yellow the xmas tree…these erectors? Because these have been crushed back to back so I think I am going to hammer them from now until they are the strong part (low paused deads added to dead work and/or Yates rows).
And we are going to do a “potato blast” and full blown poverty Macros. 1 day will be sweet potatoes and I will probably add in a few hard boiled eggs on a day too. Progress felt like it stalled so I am going to do this poverty potato blast and see what happens. If mad shred gains arent made I will probably go into a 2-6 week maintenance phase (and change the “supps”).

Currently binge watching Evan’s vids. Awesome stuff, I’m a fan.

I much prefer alcohol. I’d drink wine or scotch all day before smoking.
Oh the actual high alcohol is a ton better, but after that day of drinking (bourbon for me :D) the next time I can go to the gym is like 72 hours later. My sleep schedule gets all messed (seems irrelevant right now hahaha) and then the calories for my perennial cut. A weed hangover means I slept for an extra 6 hours.
3AM WAKE UP 93.7kg and 90cm so back to PRs on monday weigh in. Nice, and after just 1 day of “Potato Blast”. That being said I am running on fumes and it is 9am and have just finished all my carbs for the day FML. I am reading logs and the words are recognizable but understanding them is hard.
Wifey complains a lot about living in paradise for living in paradise (misses family mostly) but I gave her the opportunity point blank to move back to Torreon and she didn’t hesitate to say no. Hahaha. We are still discussing it. It is family and cost of living vs quality of life and safety.

thank you, I actually felt really flat/small until you said this. Now I can see it too, pretty sure the pump helped a bunch.
They are definitely lacking in definition. In order of fat distribution is ass, quads/hamstrings, lower back, lower abs and then thin layer everywhere.
…but they are also not shaved and it’s hard for me to flex them with out them cramping lately hahaha.
Thank you!!! I finally feel that way.

EDIT: Yin Yang progress!!! I saw you and that helped get my butt in gear.
squats: Should have left this workout for tomorrow.
Worked up to 1@425 RPE 12.
Did some back off pause reps at 315
Calves
Woke up 2am 92.4kg (PR) 91.5cm waist and my legs were still sore. Ate, took my meds and went back to sleep thinking that I would be recovered enough for Squat day #MeatHeadScience LOL neeOPPPE!
Bunch of things:
Actually scratch all that shit, TLDR.
Hitting mental wall right now. I am willing to sacrifice a lot of strength for this but it should have been slower, it is also too early in the cut to be feeling like this. This is the mental shit getting in my way. Will be adding in pump workouts to get me in the gym but more recovery for PLing and trying to take more naps and walks to balance out the naps.
SUFFER TODAY Be Awesome Tomorrow.
Today’s cheat day:
Cheat meals sure arent what they used to be…if I hit 92kg next monday a real cheat meal will be on the menu.

I can understand that. However I’d much rather take a beer hangover than a liquor hangover ANY day. But In a world of where I’d have to choose, I’d much rather wake up from a night of being continuously super toasted (stoned). My husband is a giant toker, and my family isn’t weary of it (his side of the family is though), so I “supplement” with the herb when I feel like. I do notice though, for lifters who also take part in the lambs bread, lighting up after a workout( at least for me), aids in the ability for me to relax myself almost 50% more than my regular state. I’ve tried lifting after clearing one or two hits, and I will say that my endurance is shit, and I tire out fast(er). But it does effect folks different depending health, mental stability, recognition/perception stasis (the come down), etc.
But the marijuana plant can be altered in thousands of ways. You can get an extremely potent strain just by changing a few chemical properties of the plants, or you can get a mild strain with a very relaxing feeling by taking out some properties. What’s cool about plants (Coming from someone who reads the past work of Mendel), and their tendency to be super good at reproducing with polyploid structures is that, in a lab humans can engineer damn near brand new plant species overnight if they truely wanted to, by experimenting with them. Not only for flowers, or food crops, but medicinal plants too.

Yin Yang - Only saying cause I got corrected on a college paper and it still haunts me.
I’m allergic to beer. So, whisk(e)y and wine is it for me. I also don’t get hungover, really. Before passing out I always chug a 1/4 gallon of water, and I stay really well hydrated in general.
I just don’t enjoy weed. Doesn’t do much for me and hate the culture around it.
@BOTSLAYER I hope to be on your level when this thing is all done. I can’t believe how fat I still am. It just never seems to come off, even when the scale goes down.

I understand that. And youre preaching to the choir about the culture around it. Theres this weird aura that people just automatically assimilate to and it almost immediately sucks out whatever uniqueness or integrity that individual has/had. I’ve never fit in anywhere, and ive always been the black sheep of pretty much anything that’s got a social aspect to it. The one thing people have to grasp though is that you CANNOT function normally with high dosages. The average human doesn’t even need to smoke marijuana more 1-2 times per week and 2 is honestly pushing it simply because our serotonin levels like to linger around a moderate to low level, and when serotonin is constantly spiked up it literally makes all aspects of the body act like cold molasses (slow as hell). Theres tons of case studies that like to prove otherwise, but if you actually read them in detail the subjects are only smoking maybe three times a week, and the dosages are rather small and moderate. So youre right on that subject. most def.
