3/22/23 - Jordan Peters PPL Pull 2
Weight: 208.1lb
Recovery: 50% (4h 53m slept)
- Progressed on all lifts, a little too much on some.
- Had one dude walk up to me and say “I’m trying to look like you. You’re the motivation this morning.”
- Had another dude (fat, in his late 50s) say “I used to look like you when I was younger”. So that was an interesting display of the human condition.
Was up at 3 to make this happen.

3/23/23 - Jordan Peters PPL Legs 2
Weight: 208.7lb
Recovery: 66% (5h 23m slept)
Another 3am scream-grunting session.
+10mins Cardio
- Today was supposed to be a cardio/rest day… got 10 mins into LISS cardio before i got bored and hit legs. Holy fuck that was a bad idea. I should have stuck to cardio, hopefully that’s a lesson I learn this time.
- I was getting actual nervous tremors prior to Leg Press. The weight and reps i need to push to continue progressing are getting genuinely intimidating, and now i have to put on an 8th plate
- Leg pumps are still crazy and IDK why. Never had them like this before and nothing im taking should be giving me pumps.
- Loaded Carries to follow. Probably just doing them at the house later to flex on the neighbors…
Will be moving to JP PPL Rest-Pause as this was the last session for this meso.

100% don’t believe - nobody else was awake and in the gym at 3am.
Good on you, man. Looks like the lower volume stuff really agrees with you.

Well, we were both in the military, so I know the planet is apparently full of people (in your last unit) that looked just like me, except that person was just a little faster/ leaner/ bigger/ stronger.
And, also, the person talking to me always was better than me at everything until he twisted his ankle once and couldn’t run for 2 weeks so gained 67 lbs.

It really is a sad story.
Dude had so much potential, he was going to go pro until he twisted his ankle 35 years ago. Life just isn’t fair

As a dude who legitimately packed on 40lbs after I tore my patellar tendon, I feel personally attacked.
Though for what it’s worth, 5 months later and still 40lbs heavier I ran 1.5 miles in 9:44, so I didn’t completely lose it haha

I gained well over 30lbs when I got out, so I get it, but my problem was still feasting like I was on leave but now it was just every day

Me too, mine went straight to the biceps.
Makes a man’s lower back hurt toting these things around, but if that’s the burden I have to bear…

Starting to like this role 3am iron therapy thing.
- It’s like Groundhog Day for Biceps veins up in here.
- Should probably follow this with LISS later today.
Progress Update
Going to try taking these every 2 weeks for more ‘real time’ feedback… not sure how much I can trust my scale currently.
^had 7 whole seconds to take this, so no judging. Location had to change a tad because there was an old dude blow drying his balls in my usual spot.

My good friend, I always make fun of people that give themselves this excuse, but I’ve finally run into it myself: I lost a couple pounds (finally!) this week after eating a couple hundred calories more and lifting a little less (cardio about the same, though).
I still haven’t figured out how to sleep, so whatever there.
