No pup pic, no proof!
He looks like a very good boy.
Heās 12 weeks old, a Great Dane / Weimaraner mix. Heās super sweet and loves to cuddle. Heās just a puppy so all the usually annoying puppy things but we are working on that!
Home gym for the win. Thinking itās almost time for an expansion of mine. Want to add a squat rack and a full bench station. Unfortunately that would mean knocking down a wall. Hmmm. Maybe Iāll wait lol
Whatās a layer of brick and plaster compared to gains
I really enjoyed it. I originally went commercial gym just to try something new and get back motivated to work out. Now Iām losing a little bit of that motivation and home gym is bringing it back just the ole vicious circle of life and ADHD I guess
Pretty crappy attempt to start working out tonight.
Got 2 hours of sleep last night thanks to the worst nightmare Iāve ever had, couldnāt go back to sleep.
Drank an energy drink on the way home planning to hit it hard and when I got home my dad was here working on getting my house ready to sell. So that turned into an hour conversation that I didnāt want to have really. By that toke go juice is gone.
Decided to bench, which I havenāt done in forevvvvver. Shoulders just werenāt having it. Did some tricep pull downs and called tonight a wash. Gonna try and get some sleep and try again tomorrow. Just not feeling it today, at all.
Continuing the trend of short/shitty workouts!
Back and bi day
Pull ups went fantastic for the first set. Iāve been doing neutral grip for a few months and did conventional tonight. I got 12 very perfect very slow reps and felt like I was using nothing but my back. Iāve hit 20+ reps before but Iāve never felt it like this so that was awesome.
Did BORās with a barbell for the first time in a few months as well. Middle of my back felt like it was going to explode. I just couldnāt brace for shit tonight for some reason. So I kept the weight light and reps super high just focusing on a good contractions.
Same with seated cable rows
Biceps were ok, I was really frustrated that I was having a hard time going to true failure. It was really weird.
Just mentally not on it. Kinda stressed out getting the house ready to sell, parents driving me crazy, got my kids this weekend and trying to plan stuff, new puppy Bo is begging me to change his name to satan.
This to shall pass! Atleast it better
I want to say something clever but all I can manage is HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good tits and tri exercise. A little rushed and I had my kids and puppy all wanting to workout so not the most focused or complex but I got it done.
Things Iāve recently noticed:
-
Incline dumbbell bench makes my lats absolfuckinglutey HUGE!! I guess they are being used to stabilize my shoulder/arms or what ever but itās so damn sick looking.

This is something I realized a couple weeks ago but had to remind myself tonightā¦ on cable push downs for triceps, I can do waaaaaay more weight and reps than what I think. Itās the strangest thing. I can do 100lbs and get 12-14 reps and have a killer burn and think I canāt do anymore, then do 12-14 more at 160lbs and honestly canāt tell the difference. They both feel the same. Iāve been limiting myself a lot but just going āok, this is heavy and Iām failing somewhere around 12 repsā and just staying there. I think Iām just mentally weaker than physically.
Also weighed 206 this AFTERNOON after eating and stuff all day without going to the bathroom recently. So that means morning weight should be around 202 which is a new low. Still not sure where itās being lost at but Iāll take it. Iām hoping to be super lean and look like I lift (even though Iāll be small) at 180 or so. The last DEXA I had had my LBM at 179 I believe and Iām sure Iāve lost a little muscle.
Once o get under 200 Iāll have another DEXA scan. Kinda scared about it but I like tracking it.
Absolutely zero motivation to train. Itās so bad I canāt even force myself into a complete workout. Need something to help motivate me again, apparently my self disgust of my body isnāt enough anymore
Thinking maybe cross fit. Even though I really donāt want to be one of those people.
This is when your discipline is suppose to kick in. Snap out of it brother
Or as Clint Eastwood would say āSometimes ya gotta get plum mad dog meanā
Dude itās bad. Zero strength too. I canāt even brake properly lol. Iām not sure how in the hell you fake intensity but it just aināt working. So disappointed in myself.
Hereās what I do:
- Get to my gym, alone.
- Think of something that pisses me off (ie, my belly fat)
- Blast music that I enjoy and get goingā¦
My form goes to shit when I do thisā¦lol I just start throwing crap around.
I feel ya. I set up for a seated cable row and on my first rep was like fuck thatās heavy and agonising. Letās do 5-7 more of these. And did. The mind says no far before the body sometimes.
Hope you are alright!
Hey guys! So life has had me bent over raw dawgin me hard the last few months. Hereās to getting back on track!
I havenāt lifted a weight in months. I havenāt cared about food in over a month. Good news: still around the same weight ~210. Bad news : what little muscle I had is gone. Starting back fresh lol.
On the TRT front, Iāve been doing about 120mg a week split into 2 injections. Seems the only change thatās made is my anxiety seems worse. Gonna go back up next week after I have bloods drawn.
House is sold, got a new girlfriend whoās bad ass, works been going good, and my gym is almost set up in the new house.
In the middle of a workout right now. Plan is to do a few whole body sessions until next week when I get back from the beach then get back into a PPL routine.
Ready to get back what I lost and more.
