I am totally dead at this point. Monday and Tuesday are lingering!! The reverse hacks are a compound movement that drains you, the leg press was going good, but I think I was going too deep with them. My right knee started to hurt. Round 2 with the sled pulls…… 
OMG!

I forgot to post yesterday. I did workout. I’ve learned that BB shrugs going to heavy is bad on my bicep tendon. And images of people snapping the tendon come to mind. So going forward, I think I’ll stop at 315 and just rep it until I fail.

Friday was a bunch of machine presses and then cardio. I was in Houston and dead tired. Had to put in work doing other cardio too.
This felt good, I almost passed out a few times.

Finally talked to the female I see at the gym all the time. I asked what is her motivation. She said she just likes to workout, Monday- Saturday. She now gives herself one day to rest. I liked hearing that versus the usual reasons I hear.

I shall be inspired by you
So, while I was in Houston, I met my GF’s friends and coworkers. Her best friend was like “Damn!” When she saw me. She said you said you had a man, but I didn’t expect this much man. And she just kept going on and then wanted a hug!!! Hahahaha. Then she left and told the other girls and they all came to the cafeteria and embarrassed my girl.
So later she told me all her coworkers approved of me. So I said great, now 8 can start acting up. Getting drunk and pissing myself. Drinking beer all day and hitting on her swinger friend (long story). So at dinner, I meet the swingers and the female is actually hitting on me. Telling me how bald black men turn her on…… My girl had already warned me about them, so it wasn’t too awkward. Women usually hide they feelings about appearance pretty good, so it was different having so many fawning over me! Guess I’m doing something correct.
All in all it was a great weekend. Bad food only one day. Only one drink.
Today was rep day. If nothing else, because I’m freaking drained and didn’t want to push heavy. 100 working reps for the two morning exercises.
Oh, and the ab wheel was feeling GOOD!

Simple cardio. I’m f’ing drained, right arm hyper extended. All muscles sore. Mentally exhausted. Then there is this house! The moving (always up) funds to close estimate. The builder deciding they are not going to pay the agent fee. My friend who said he would help me not responding to me. I like to be in control of stuff and this is not something I can control. The breaking of my apartment lease ($2250)It’s all rushed, i just found out last month that my name was at the top of the list after 5 months of waiting. So it’s been a scramble. The good news is it will be over next week. So no heavy weights, I don’t want to be sore for the move.
Elliptical 45 minutes
Dude, moving is the worst, even under the best of circumstances. Hang in there… As you point out, it’ll be over soon.
Is it worth it?
The last weight workout was Tuesday of last week. I had to move a fridge by myself, so I figured I’d go to the gym afterwards and do pulls since I had already used those muscles with the fridge. Other than that, it had been cardio in anticipation of my move. Well, after a lot of BS and possibly missing the closing date and not having enough funds to close, I actually made it to closing!!! But, because I didn’t think it was going to happen as planned, I had relaxed to clear my mind. Then I was notified it was still on, so I was immediately in scramble mode. Numerous trips back and forth moving the little stuff. Then the movers came last Friday (late), and we started a 6 hour move. I had to help because I was FAR stronger than the guys that were moving me. It felt good that I could easily lift things they were struggling with.
My back started to seize up Friday night and I was suffering Saturday, but I woke up Sunday just fine. I’ve still been unpacking and arranging stuff while my GF is here to help. So, I have one more day off of work and then maybe hopefully get back into the gym. I’m still pretty sore.
Congrats on the move my man. Maybe take a few days off to recover before hitting the gym, this move sounds stressful so no point adding stress via training to an already stressed system.
How are things going in here, my friend? Everything alright?
Thanks for asking. The move was stressful. I’ve killed two scorpions in the house. The second one want to fight me. I’ve installed blinds on the windows and the sliding door. I was shocked how easy it was. Fix the tube from the dishwasher to the garbage disposal. Those bastards are building houses so fast the quality isn’t the best. Girlfriend’s dog took a dump on the carpet the day I moved in and spit-up the next day, and she didn’t understand why it bothered me.
I’ve been cramping and exhausted since the move. I tried to workout last Tuesday, I had no strength or energy to complete it. That left me feeling sick for a few days. I’ve been trying to hydrate, I’m hoping the fatigue is from using different muscles during the move.
So, I opened my toolbox after not looking in it for two years. Either my ex helped herself to most of my tools, or the chick that let me store it helped herself. Either way, I don’t expect either of them to come clean and make it right. At least I have a reason to get new tools. Sort of excited about that. I’ll pick up my stored lawn equipment today and hope it still works. Btw, the ex only gave me the lawn equipment that she didn’t want. I mentally couldn’t fight with her about it at the time.
So, everything is going good. Totally moved out of the apartment and just have to finish cleaning it before turning in the keys and the big ass check for breaking the lease! Today was my first day back to lifting and I feel goid about it.
