Don’t call it a comeback

Ah, I have a weird habit of doing this without realizing where I'm posting and I get too into what's been posted.

Was going to post another story but I'll wait to see if @NovaFlex minds

Sorry about that

Awesome, looking forward to it lol

I remember my father in law driving to the US with his son who was around 20 at the time. After a few hours of driving they came up to police lights and the one side of the HWY was totally blocked off so everyone had to merge over but the vehicles were at a crawl.

As they were driving ahead it was clear that a small car had been in some sort of collision with a transport truck. As they got closer they saw exactly what happened - the car had slid under the box and it ripped the entire roof of the car off ..... INCLUDING THE DRIVER'S HEAD. They have a photo of it from a distance and was later verified on the news.

They said all they did was see it, and both started really awkwardly laughing as they drove by and didn't say much, unsure of how to react. They drove right past the car though and it had just happened so everything was in full view

That’s pretty crazy. I’ve some stuff similar, but no beheadings.

Last fall I was driving on i80 in Illinois, right before the Indiana border or right after it, I don’t remember... Got stuck in traffic for 4 hours, due to a semi wreck about 1/4 mi ahead. Some of us parked on the side and went to see WTF happened—turns out a hog hauler was coming on to the highway and was going to fast around the turn, and tipped over on to a passing car. The car was crushed, and there were pig carcasses everywhere, along with pigs running free on the highway. It was absolutely insane. Probably one of the most craziest things I’ve ever seen, like directly out of a movie.

Last winter I was coming down i35 from Minneapolis to Texas and it was pretty crazy, as well... From Minneapolis and most of the way to Kansas City was blizzard conditions. I witnessed firsthand 4 semis go off the road. I would’ve stopped if it was safe, but it wasn’t—all I could do was call them in. After Kansas City, it was like summer time...It absolutely blew my mind. And on the way back to Minneapolis, I lost count of the semis in ditches after 20. Literally almost every 5 miles for a couple hundred miles—sometimes 2 or 3 in one spot. I had never seen anything like it, but apparently it’s a yearly thing on i35.

I know I’ve got more, I’ll have to remember them tho.
 
I’ve never seen anything super “strange”, while driving. Although, I did have a guy pull up next to me around 4am while I was driving in W. Virginia, jerking off with his dome light on... he tried to keep a steady pace, so I steered the truck a little left, he drove off. I don’t think I’d even feel bad if I drove him off the road. I’d leave his ass there.

That story is funny but also sad..... poor pigs lol and I could see that being the opening of a cheesy horror movie where the pigs are now harassing all the nearby towns, eating people and causing chaos all over the streets

When it comes to driving in terrible weather, especially for trucks, I can't help but think you guys don't get paid enough in the shittier times of the year. We were driving up to my property way up in Northern Ontario and turn a turn around a bend and saw this:

My wife just snapped a bunch of photos as we were driving but any guess as to what could've happened there? There wasn't any other vehicle around damaged and the only thing behind the truck was the beginning of the cement barriers
 
-Well, I got double the amount of sleep I got yesterday—4 hrs today, lol. Between the cal deficit and no sleep, I’m a walking zombie.


Lower + Back


Leg Press

527 x15, 12, 10


HB squat

225 3x5

315 5x3


-Didn’t feel like squatting at all today, but decided to stop being a pussy and just throw up a few low weight sets. 3 plates still felt surprisingly light tho, given how heavy everything else feels. I’m happy with my form, as well. Wide stance definitely incorporates more muscle groups.


Snatch Grip High Pull

95 x12, 10


-lower back spasm made me stop at 2 sets


Chest supported row

120 x15

150 3x10


-Going home to sleep
 
Yeah, man.. I’ve seen soooo many tractor trailer accidents. It’s crazy.

-Slept about 14 hrs today. It makes a pretty big difference in my performance, especially while in such a low kcal deficit. Nothing special, but a decent volume / maintenance session

-only working at 72% today for the top sets. Getting in some reps. The hardest part about cutting, IMO, has been lowering the weights in the gym haha. It’s so weird to not be adding weight or pushing myself to the limit.

-Energy was sufficiently lacking today. Slept about 13 hrs, and didn’t wanna get out of bed. This much of a deficit, combined with the lethargy from Tren, makes me feel like a zombie. Good thing, though, is that once I’m in the gym the EQ adds some decent endurance so that I can at least get some sets done.

Close Grip Inc Bench

135 x8

205 5x4, 8 -AMRAP


-This movement is amazing. Medium incline and close grip to the end of the knurling..I feel it works chest + tri’s really well. Highly recommend trying it. It’s going to become a staple in my training, for sure.

How’s the diet , you still in a deep deficit?
Yeah man.im sitting at 1400 cals for today, but I’m staring at these damn Honey Nut Cheerios... lmao.

Idk if this is good or bad, but it seems to be working... I eat only 1 solid meal a day, about 2-3 hrs before the gym (a pretty big meal) which seems to push me through my workout. Then I’ll have a shake and some fruit after the gym and call it a night... which leaves about 18 hrs of intermittent fasting daily. Since my last update (2 days ago?) I’m down another pound.

some days I’ll hit 2k, but it’s pretty rare...and it seems to be on the days when I’m busting my ass at work and need some energy.
 
Hoping you get to that goal weight soon. That sounds miserable
I don’t get too many cravings, cos I stay filled up on water. The worst part for me is the total lack of energy...I don’t wanna do shit, man. Forcing myself to the gym, even after sleeping 12+ hrs.

if all goes to plan, though, another 6-8 weeks and I’ll be where I need to be.
