I typically pack a big punch of fruit and vegetables on the front end, starting the day with a big smoothie of milk, blueberries (or some other frozen fruit), spinach, protein powder, collagen, and creatine. Of course I do try to get some veggies at lunch, and we always have a protein / starch / vegetable at dinner, but starting with the big green/fruit smoothie makes sure that I’ve gotten something in on that score if lunch ends up being a sandwich and dinner is just steak and potatoes, lol.

Morning workout
100 full KB Swings
Then 9 hours of moving dirt. Moved another 28cys of dirt today. Need about 5 more and I’m done. Then it’ll just be sod, rock, pavers and bark dust.
Wife snapped a photo of me working today. It’s always an odd feeling to see how tall I am. I am 5’9” but trapped in a 6’4” body.

What does that even mean? Haha
Maybe he means down under😉
Not quite… ha. Means I have the body awareness of a short person. ;).

Yesterday morning I did some squats and KB swings. I was going to do a full legs workout last night, but instead hauled and set 100 paver blocks for a retaining wall in my back yard.
I was feeling fat last night (not sure why, nutrition was on point) so decided to go for a jog this morning. Went a around 3/4 mile. It wasn’t too bad actually. I hate running with a passion due to sports growing up and exercise induced asthma as a kid. After the jog, I hit 2x10x135 on squats and 2x5x225. Hopefully I have time tonight to really get after it. I ended this morning early as I was short for time.
I also made a change to breakfast. Instead of PB&J for breakfast, I made sausage, eggs and cheese on a naan bread. Hopefully the lower sugar and high protein will help with a little fat loss.

I didn’t realize we ran out of rice on Tuesday, so I couldn’t do my typical mid week rice cook for my prepped meals. Yesterday, I fell off a bit with pizza and garlic balls. Trying to make it up with meatball salad now.

Is this with straps?
No. I switched to mixed grip at 315. I could probably get one or two double over with 315.
Rough day. No workout. Ate a pint of ice cream, drank four beeers and now sipping whiskey.

Only just thought of mixed grip once I posted that. I’d like to try one of these axles.

Another day in the yard. Setting pavers for a patio, which is essentially a hussafell stone carry. Carried form the store to cart, prowlers the cart to my truck, lifted, drove home, then lifted them back to place.
Edit: forgot the sixteen 50lb bags of sand.

My body feels beat to shit right now. Not sure if I’ll jog or do my scheduled OHP day tomorrow morning or not.

Crazy fucking day. Got home from the concert at 2 am, then had an 8 hour meeting that started at 8am. Fucking exhausted.
Was pretty sad to hear one of my favorite artists died yesterday. Tom Petty was definitely top 3 favorite artists. Sad loss. Coldplay started their concert with a moment of silence then coveted Free Fallin’ before their setlist which was pretty cool.
Im pretty pissed I passed up two opportunities to see Tom Petty this summer. I mean, fucking A.
