Dchris's Grappling with Age

Took yesterday off. A friend dropped by and we just shot the shit for several hours.

Morning workout

100KB Swings

Axle Deadlift
3x5x225
10x225

Really just trying to get my body temp up and get some lighter reps in.

Yesterday was pretty nice. Didn’t have to leave the office at all, had my meal prepped and mid day protein bar. It was the first Day in months (possibly this year) that I didn’t swipe my debit card.

I didn’t workout this weekend… :tired_face:although, yesterday, I spent 12 hours putting an irrigation system in my back yard. Pushed a 1200lb trencher around. Currently meal prepping for the week. Will be hitting legs tomorrow. Then chest Tuesday… unless I forget again.

Diet has been spot on lately. Breakfast has been eggs, protein shake or protein bites. Lunch is 3/4-1lb of pork or steak with a cup of rice, and dinner has been meat with shit tons of veggies.

I’ve said no to ice cream twice this week, which is a miracle and evidence of finally getting serious. Aside from a cider or sour at night, I’ve been following the plan.

1.25x185 - first one was easy. On the descent of rep 2 I clipped the pin and dropped the weight on my chest. Absolutely stuck, I slowly dropped the weight to my hips and slid out. First time I’ve failed a lift like this. Something off of gymfuckery.

Dinner tonight, green beans and pork medallions.

Woke up at 7 and did a circuit of Kb swings and goblet squats for a few rounds. Then axle DL’d 225 for 3x10.

My plumber pulled up at about 745 to tap into the main line for my UGS. Then I got after it and moved 15/CYs of top soil, messed with sprinkler heads and move rock. Still have 3 hours to ago. I’m counting this as a workout. Haha.

Form tonight felt the best ever. Decided to keep weight light and just get in the groove again. Did a lot of lighter sets too, but didn’t record them. Also, only had roughly 15 minutes.

Diet has been doing really well. I’m trying not to weigh myself as I’ll get distracted with losing weight. Mainly trying to eat carbs and not going overboard with sugars.

No veggies with lunch? I don’t consider it a meal if it doesn’t have a solid protein source and a veggie source! Looks delicious though

Glad to hear nutrition and training are coming along again. Looks like you’re getting back in that groove!

I haven’t found a way to reheat them that I like. I certainly make up for it at dinner time though!

Felt kind of good to hit 365. At least I’m getting closer to where I want to be. Considering I’ve been in the low 3s for a month, it’s nice to get closer to 4. Hopefully I can add another 50-75 by Christmas. It’s not like I haven’t pulled that much before.

…another day… time to prep food for tomorrow.

I had reheated green beans for lunch with my rice and meatballs. Wasn’t too bad, think I can manage. Thanks for the push.

Haha, I used to find myself slipping on vegetables. I mean, you can of course just eat a ton for dinner but I make sure to get them at each meal to make sure I’m getting enough (I don’t eat them with my peri-workout meals typically)

Nice work on the deadlift though, getting heavier!
