Sheiko strikes again

[ickyrica]

Worked up to a few reps at 350. Good overall workout. Finished chest with a 5 X 5 at 275.

Bunch of split squats, pull ups and goofy shit like that.

Going to try some squats tomorrow a.m. I think I am ready.

Fear of death, the ultimate motivator

I feel ignorant. What is FOD?

I was wondering what it was too lol

I'm on a work trip in Orlando right now. Nothing even remotely gym related going on, just premium audio visual dork stuff at a convention. I'll get some pics and videos up tonight, a few pics as the day goes on, too. Highest end A/V on the planet type stuff

Couple cool LED jumbo tron demos. You can see the back of some of them in one and the other is a transparent LED technology.

video doesn't even begin to do this image justice. Funny thing is this technology is almost dead and the public doesn't even have true 4K yet. 8K is the long term resolution soon.

You must be pretty damn stoked lol.

Bet you would love to have these sort of gadgets at home!

 

[ickyrica]

I would. Luckily I have them at work. I had to sign 3 nda forms today so far. There is some really cool video tech that's going to drop in a year or two.

You must be pretty damn stoked lol.

Not bad at all for getting back into it. Must been one satisfying workout.

It was. I know my legs and hips are still alive and well, that's a win.

Started tracking macros today. I want to be able to hit the ground running when my real training starts again. Its been a long time since I've tracked them so this should be a fun little experiment.

I'm not going to post much but a quick breakdown of today's breakfast:

4 large eggs
4 eggs equivalent in egg whites
1/2 large sweet potato
Kombucha drink
Nature Valley Oats & Honey
Protein Shake
Pita pocket
1/2 pot of black coffee

Totals
Calories: 1144
Fats: 32
Protein: 125
Carbs: 167

New friend at my gym??

 

[ickyrica]

Actually starting to notice that my lips are dry. I drink a fair amount of water every day as well. Damn, almost like a sunburn.

 

[ickyrica]

The amount of beard dandruff today is out of this world.... starting to get so dry...

Gonna get muggy and hot soon so that will be a change.

It's an internal issue. Outside conditions are of minimal impact. Water, lotion and chap stick are a staple ATM.


So, general acne update:

I'm a week and a half into the accutane run and the sides are absolutely kicking in. The acne is starting to get little dry spots on the top of some of the bigger cystic nodules. I seem to be getting less of the new nodules in general, which is a win. All in all, my skin feels tighter and dryer. I feel like I'm always working off a sunburn.

One dietary restriction that I have placed in myself is dairy. I have been abusing Fairlife chocolate milk for some time and was wondering if that was compounding my acne issue so I've dropped that from my diet...

Time will tell with this one. I have before pics and will be taking update pics as I go, maybe every 2 weeks or so. Not sure about posting them as I'm slightly embarrassed but we'll see...
