Me and my wife can't work out together we have opposing opinions on the order of exercises. I jump around and vary my workouts way too much. Same with cleaning the house it only works if we pretend the other isn't there or we're in different rooms.

Haha love that your barbell has a name.

I think she will enjoy it, i'll try and make it somewhat fun...idk hang some balloons up or something lol.

At the very least she supports me doing it ao even if she never wants to go again its ok haha

Haha well sounds like your wife has some prior experience, my gal is a noob to the gym so i think she will be content to just follow.

Hell, she should just be happy you're willing to help clean lmao

We both work so I feel like we should try to contribute equally. Shes probably borderline ocd and I'm spastic, spontaneous and "controlled" without meds ADD, ADHD. I'm sure its annoying when I wash the dishes sweep the floor and change the trash at the same time

Thats a good man right there, and absolutely right, gotta help out around the house.

Me and mine are probably a both a little more on the spastic side so when we live together it should make for a fun time hahah

You'll like it. It's a good choice for poor, wage slaves like us. I mean I pulled 606lbs wearing it.

Yeah that's pretty much what it came down to, good reviews and its more moderately priced. Im sure i will get some good use out of it, i dont need anything fancy, just something better than the sketchy tapered one at my gym.

What thickness did you end up going with?

 

[insaiyan93]

What thickness did you end up going with?

I went with the 10mm since docd and some other reviews i read online said deadlifting with the 13mm can be uncomfortable.

Turns out they did have the 4 inch 10mm in my size but it doesnt say 10mm on the website but i called them and they told me it was.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Both my belts are 10mm, too.

 

[insaiyan93]

Yeah it seemed like a safe bet. Maybe if i ever have extra money i might get a 13 just to see what it feels like, butni need a decent belt and i dont have the money to be runnin experiments right now.lol

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Same. I ain't taking no chances.

 

[insaiyan93]

Sooo here are my new macros for the week. Starting the reverse dieting for a while to bolster my metabolism and boost my strength up a bit before the next phase of the cut begins.

Monday-Thursday 2730 cal
230g protein 250g carbs 90g fats

Friday 3100 cals
250g protein 300g carbs 100g fats


Saturday/Sunday 2395 cals
230g protein 200g carbs 75g fats

Weight was 250 today, up a little bit from last week. Had that light week last week so i imagine i wasnt burning up as many calories as normal.

Also, full disclosure, i had a few more drinks than i should have friday, got some bad news about a close friend back home thats been fighting cancer the past 3 years. Seems they have finally about hit the end of the line and dont have very much longer left, called them to talk to them for maybe the last time and they are so fried from the chemo they could barely even talk n it just fucked me up pretty bad hearing them like that so i over indulged a bit.

I know it's no excuse but i guess im not very good at handling that sort of thing..anyways, I've gotten myself together for the most part so im all back on track now. Gonna be goin to the gym later in the PM so i will update my first workout of the training block then.

losing friends/family is really hard. ive lost a good share of my friends in the last 10 years or so. i still have the images of my dying grandma on chemo burned in my brain. very tough to watch and see the person deteriorate.

if you need anything brother, feel free to PM me.

Yeah definitely not an easy situation.

i appreciate it man, will do if i need to talk.

The person in question was a close friend to alot of my other good friends ao we have some kind of a mini support group going on.

 

[insaiyan93]

Well i'll be a son of a bitch, now i just heard my bosses are selling the business and the new owners are bringing in new employees.

The bullshit comes in waves.
