It doesn’t appear to be just yet. Would be nice if it would let up a bit. We will keep on keepin’ on and try to roll with the punches.
I will be over here rolling right along with you! Let’s keep fighting the good fight!!!

Got it all done somehow. Deload week coming!

Well one of my reasons for being busy the last few years has passed on. My mother’s Alzheimer’s along with a broken hip got the best of her, but she’s much better off now at least. Rough going last week but luckily I was in a deload anyway. When I had a few and needed to get away, I threw in a light upper session and a light lower session. This weekend I decided to go back to Powerbuilding. This is more my speed and what I feel more comfortable with. I am going to run Alex Bromley’s Bullmastiff Program. Gave the first session a whirl on Sunday.

Hey dude, I’m sorry to hear about what’s been going on and I hope you’re doing alright. That’s gotta be tough.
Looking forward to watching you continue to crush it. The new program looks great.

Thank you sir. We are doing good. She is much better off now. Tough watching her go through that and trying to take care of her, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
Yeah this program is right up my alley. Hope it works out well. Liking it so far.

This was rough. It was going great until that last set of deads. Low back lit up pretty good. But fortunately I’m pretty sure it’s mainly due to my crazy tight hammies. So working that out and using a theragun seems to help.

Absolutely loving these programs he’s putting out…because after all we all want the strength, physique and luscious chest curls of Doug Young. At least we can try and mimic those legends…and just hope the chest curls come.

Weight is refusing to go down…matter of fact went up. I am bigger muscle wise, but definitely need to tighten and tone it up. Weight the other day was 226…this morning was 223. Still a far cry from the goal around 200~205. I know the V Diet is popular here, but instead of going that far I like this iteration personally: The "Can't-Believe-It's-a-Diet" Diet
Going with this for a week or two and maybe get everything in gear and heading the right direction.
