Felt like a cardio workout today, short rest periods, was sweating like crazy. Felt good though, probably lost 5 lbs in water weight alone. Will probably take tomorrow off for rest then hit Monday hard.
Starting this week I may or may not switch up my training. It’s not that this isn’t working, it’s just I need a change of pace with accessory stuff, as I don’t really switch up lifts. I may start a 5/3/1 program, seems like a lot of people have good success with it. I’m.gunna do some research and see if I can find something. Or maybe I won’t, well see.
So after taking yesterday off, got to the gym today. Felt real tired this am and no motivation, been working a lot. Wanted to deadlift today but got to the gym and I didn’t have my belt, so I did some chest. After 45 mins I was tired, and driving home I felt really nauseous.idk if it’s cause I hadn’t eaten since like 4 yesterday or what but stomache feels messed up. Anyways
Been working a lot, worked til 10 last night, now I got some training to do at 11 this morning then my reg shift @330. Can’t wait for my day off tomorrow
My body is just tired from work and stuff. I haven’t been eating as much as I want to only a couple times a day and I know it’s hurting but working 2nd shift in a hot ass kitchen usually kills my appetite my whole shift.
Did some back today since I didn’t get to do it yesterday

Felt good today, besides some soreness in the right side of my lower back. Think it was from deads yesterday.
Wednesdays are great, get to get half off sushi on my way to work. Get like 4 rolls for 13$ love it.
Went to the gym today, just to get there and remembered they’re closed for the 4th. My preworkout was already kicking in so I went home and cleaned my apartment…

I think it’s hilarious when guys make passive aggressive moves towards guys that are bigger/stronger than them. Dude takes the 30s after my set and does a set of curls. Instead of putting them back dude puts them on the floor where he’s doing them. Shit makes me laugh, so I guess I had to push myself with the 35s, thanks bud.
Yes pretty much. I don’t care if someone uses the same ones I am but to see that I’m using them, take them, do a set, then put them on the floor by your feet just isn’t cool. It’s all good though people get super alpha towards me in the gym it’s actually funny.
Saturday–
Wanted to do squats and legs but someone was taking forever to do their sets. Kid with some pencil legs had 315 and was doing just a 3 inch knee bend squat. Then went and put like 9 plates each side of leg press and was doing a slight knee bend press. high Weights are everything !!

Hammer strength iso row- 90 each side
Hammer curls - 3x8ish 30/45/35
Seated calves
Good workout td though. Deads felt heavy but my eating needs to get back on track. Sleeping has been good. Working 2nd shift though always gets me a good 7 hours.
Yea I was asking because I couldn’t believe that someone would actually do that. Never witnessed anything like that before. Absurd. A couple of weeks ago a guy started stripping weights off my bar while I was going for a drink. He looked like a deer in headlights when I came back and asked him what the fuck he was doing. “Oh sorry, you’re still using this??” When it’s obvious I’m coming back lel
Yea man some people just don’t have any common sense. They probably don’t think your gunna say anything. Idk why but it’s always these little skinny kids who do shit like that

My knees feel so achy from squatting. And it’s not just a achy soreness that I feel, more like a deep pain in the middle of my knee(s). I don’t think I’m gunna continue squatting for a little while. Which sucks cause I like to squat (in a I like my girlfriend but I don’t kind of way, u know what I mean).
That last rep I was digging deeep for it. Felt very heavy. My eating was not the best yesterday, altho not the worst either. I can always feel in the gym when my diets off the day before, and I felt it today, but still made all the reps.
Bent rows- 3x8-10 245
Hammer curls- 3x8-10 35/40/45
Rear delt swings- 30s 3x10
Weighted abs
Warmed up on the hammer strength iso row- today, 3x10 90 each side.
Overall it was a good workout. I have to start logging stuff in a notebook. I’m not guessing on numbers but it’d be easier to look at everything and know what I have to beat, mainly reps.
My goal though is to stay strict with my eating. I was doing really good but this past week has been sloppy. Not in a junk food type of way, but just not in sync with what I normally was doing. I won’t let it get me down though.
Felt really strong goin into the flat bench … incline DBs got super heavy after like 4 reps each set. After taking yesterday after and actually going 3 days this week my body felt a lot more rested (obv).
I know it’s national chest day, but I went against the grain and did back :0 felt rested after taking yesterday off so went and had a heavy deadlift day
This is actually the first time I’ve letter heavy like this since I started lifting again. I usually don’t just because I don’t trust the people around me to spot me but a guy I’ve work e out with a few times asked if I needed a spot so I went for it.315 went up easy, 335 stalled for a second Midway but pushed thru it. I could definitely do more if I hadnt done the 2x285
Felt strong and rested after not being able to go to gym past 2 days. Diet has been decent but I just haven’t been eating enough. Working 2nd shift at a restaurant kills my appetite for most the night
New goal for bench will be 365 to match my PR then going after 400.
Deadlifts & back. Started a deadlifting frenzy at the gym when everyone saw me going at it.
DeadZ-435x4 445x3 455x2 465x1 475x1 485x1
Everything felt heavy but I didn’t miss a pull. Had a couple drinks last night so might have played a factor.
Hammer curls- 45s 3x6
Hammer iso back machine- 90 each side 135 90 10/8/10
Good day today, had a nice rest day yesterday. Back to the work grind though, will probably take tomorrow off.
