Cool man, let me know.
But! Have you made progress?
Yea… for sure. Last 3 years I have. It’s the break in between. I’ll post a photo soon enough of my ‘post getting married’ start. Moreso disapointed in myself for not pushing things. My career has really taken off and I alllow my stress eating to out weigh my desire to cut up.
In other news… back still hurts. Good news… FB marketplace is the greatest invention. Since I drive up and down the interstate, I buy old gym equipment or tires from rural areas and sell them up in populated areas. It’s paying for all the mods on my truck. Haha.

Friday
Hell of a day. Can’t even begin to explain.
Front Squats
5x10x95lbs - 20 second rest.
Trying to loosen up my back. It’s still pretty tight. I probably did 12 sets with just the bar. Hoping to get a decent leg day in tomorrow.

Back is a bit achey. Did 50 KB Swings in the morning.
Then fixed lawn mower and decided to mow without the AWD on. Forgot how much work it is to now. Then 4 hours of weed whacking and cleaning.
Afternoon workout
KB Swings
1x100x40lb - light enough weight to hit cardio failure before muscle failure.
Front Squats
3x12x95lbs - just trying to keep it light and focus on quads. Have a feeling my back couldn’t handle too much load.
KB Swings
1x75 - no way 100 was in me. Ha.
Pullups throughout workout.
Legs are cramping, hands are shaking, hoping for some good weight loss this month

My legs are toast today. Specifically my hamstrings. Might try and lift later, might not.
Also… just found a hack squat machine for dirt cheap. Will be my newest addition if this guy gets back to me.

How the fuck is it Friday already? Anyway… wife went to ER yesterday morning and had surgery that night. Will be home from hospital tomorrow. Sadly, the couch in the room hasn’t been good for my back. I was able to sneak in a few Pullups when I ran home for supplies.
Will be back to hit it (mildly) hard tomorrow.

Lunch
Cup of Rice
Cup of Mac n’ cheese
1/3lb of beef
Dinner
Burger and Fries
I mean, not great… but probably under my TDEE. Also, today was day 2 of 4 on albuterol. I’m doing 4 on - 6 off.

Sorry to hear, hope all is well man.
Is this a nickname for your wife, or one of your actual hens?

Back day… lower back felt super weak, so scratched any form of deadlift.
Very light Rack Pull
3x12x135 - just trying to squeeze my back and not hurt myself.
BB Row & Dropset with KB row
4x20x135
4x12x60lb KB
Pull ups
12 - 3 sets
Pushups
60 reps
I think my hips are tight and this is causing my back pain. The way I have been stretching isn’t working. I decided to do yoga after workout and cycled between warrior poses and child pose. My back and hips popped so much when I hit childs pose. Hoping this loosens it up in next few weeks. I’ll try and hit heavier rack pulls mid next month, depending how this works.
