Typical arm day so this log will be short. Got to the gym late today (took another midday nap in my car) and it was packed, all of Monroeville seemed overly busy today for whatever reason. After warming up I hit a curl bar, started heavy (for me) with a 70lb curl bar and did […]

Today was a bit frustrating at the gym definitely, perhaps it was just low energy or a shitty night’s sleep last night due to carpal tunnel pain, but it was very rough. After my leg warmups which went well, I got started with squats. Starting with the front squat, my focus was twofold, one to […]

Deadlift mania today as I did some routines to focus on my back strength. My theme today and my theme on back day in general will be more strength training than mass building, so ultra high weights low repetitions many sets is the ideal. Just trying to push it to the max because my back […]

So running on a one week deficit from my workout cycle due to a lot of unplanned rest days or distraction days, normally my cycle is less than one week to fully rotate over, so we’ll see how that goes. Anyways I’m recording this info about chest day a day after, so my recollection will […]

Today I sorta crashed in the evening, maybe my body just needed some rest maybe I just ran into a low spot. My gym buddy didn’t make it either so I had no obligation to be at the gym at all today, being a day off I rarely spend my days off at home… just […]

Had a great workout today figured I’d document it before I completely forget, yet again. In the spirit of Halloween I decided to try a new workout I saw from Scott Herman’s fitness channel on Youtube, Tricep Terror! First though I got in and hit biceps, also using some advice I had from Scott Herman’s […]

Quick record of my last two days of exercise, because I believe the best policy is to log everything. I worked both days rather extensively, and that impacted my ability to do any proper exercise. On Monday I decided to go for a fasted morning walk (no breakfast first) and burned probably 270 calories… not […]

Well despite having the first hangover I’ve had in probably 15 years, I did manage to get to the gym. I admit the bodily disrespect had a huge impact on my ability in the gym, but I’m happy… my workout was short, tough and I was sweating rather severely by the end. The first place […]

Just got back from a fun workout on back day and set some new personal records to aim to beat in the future. First for back day I did some deadlifts, and did 2 sets of 3 reps each at 225lbs which for me is the most I’ve ever deadlifted by a margin… my previous […]
