BW 213 Shit!
I was replacing the ancient toilet fill valve in the hallway bathroom toilet and accidentally broke off the ancient toilet fill tube. Apparently that shit was made of egg shells. To replace the tube I had to remove the water closet. So yada yada, I drank a bunch of beers as I learned about toilets last night. Then woke up this morning a little dehydrated. I think I’ll do a bonus weigh in tomorrow to see if I’m still on track.

I was feeling confident after fixing the hall toilet and decided to replace the fill valve on another one. While working on that I discovered the shut off valve to the toilet no longer shut off the water. After crawling around under the house to find the main shut off to deal with the Fucking Geyser in the bathroom and watching a video or two I was able to run out and get a new valve.
Once I had all the pieces in hand and tools laid out it was like 10 minutes to switch out the two parts and get everything put back together.
The water bill has been fucked up. I’m hoping to save like $20 a month now.
Then woman and kiddo returned from Trick or Treating (dressed as witches) and I got a Kit Kat.
Solid Evening.

43 days, 20 workouts (counting today’s)and + 2.4 pounds into the gain phase. The original plan was to lift every other day, it looks like I’m 3 days behind. I was starting to think about going back to lifting 4 days per week, instead of the extra rest day, 8 day training week. Looking at it now, I think it will be better to just hit compliance with the EOD first. Shit’s working, so I’ll let it keep working another 40 days before I stress picking up the pace.
I’m sort of dreading these upcoming Sissy Squats. I’ve been training in silence, maybe I’ll hook up some music for extra enthusiasm today.

Raised the step for step downs, quads were feeling it.
My shoulder was a tight and pinchy so I did some stretching yesterday. It’s been awhile, so it was a workout! My chest is sore like I lifted and my mid back and neck are exhausted, like they finally unclenched after being pulled on all week.
Next phase I Isolateral. Be ready for lots of 1 arm, 1 leg stuff.

If anyone is keeping track, This is the 1st week of the 2nd “block” or “meso cycle” of the Mass Phase. Isolateral, 1 side focused
Surprisingly pleasant and effective! My ass has gotten flat enough to upset me, I was thinking about adding some Ass Blasters or BSSs. Not necessary! The 1 leg reverse hypers ( a lot like a Bird Dog, Dr McGill ) and 1 leg RDLs gave my glutes all they could handle. That was nice.
Incline shrugs really lit up my Low Traps, which I’m trying to build up to get ready for overhead pressing next block. That was nice.
Last month I was doing straight arm pulldowns, lat focused, close griped. Now it’s wide pulldowns, upper back/rear delt focused. They felt nice and fresh, like they loosened up my shoulders and they is room for easy improvement. That was nice.

It was a super still fall day with no squirrels, birds, bugs or even wind. Between sets I was scraping old paint. Left arm, right arm, scrape-scrape. Long sleeves so I couldn’t even see my muscles bulging.
Fucking Boring!
I tied a couple DBs together to make a 30 and 35 pounder so I was able to go a little heavier than the usual 25s. It worked OK, and it was nice, it just wasn’t as exciting as I hoped.
