Time for some size!

Rotating pinning better. Going around like a clock. 10 pin sights, i try not to pin area i workout that day. But dont think that matters anymore.
 
I made up for the 1000 cals lost a little.
Yesterday i ate 5000 cals.

i took the day off, i did alot of work around the house.

pinned right glute.

pinning left quad today.
 
5000 is serious eating.

I feel so stuffed on 4000
It is a good amount. 80 grams of protein though was protein shakes.

I ususlly can do 4000 without shakes. then add protein shake to get around 4500. So today going to do 4500 with just whole foods to see if i can.
 
5000 is serious eating.

I feel so stuffed on 4000
And i am not gaining weight....my body loves 225 lbs. it always get stuck there. Whenever i try and surpass it. Right now before eating i am 228.
For a second i thought i was now weighing my food right. But i am.
 
Did back today.

lat pulldowns
Straight arm push down
V bar pull downs
Bent underhand
Close grip rows
Medow rows

kind of depressed, i finish school finally and was told i can do assistant
physical therapy, but it turns out i need another 2 year degree seperate from the Exercise Science degree.

i cant go to grad school for PT because i did really bad my first 3 years and drugs made me lose 2 years due to probation. But the last year i got straight A’s because i am not doing drugs. But now i am ready to move foward but my mistakes when i was 20, are biting me in the ass.

i have a BS in kinesiology, but i need to now find out if i can get in to PTA school. Which i was told kinesiology would be enough, but its not. Also there are 10 classes i took already and passed and the same classes are in the PTA program but i may have to retake them again. They may not take then to tranfer, littlerally THE SAME EXACT CLASSES! Really upset because i graduated and thought when the world opens i can to the job i really want. Now i need to take 2 years of schooling again. I was put on hold from a dwi that i could drive and needed rehab, which is why it took my so long to graduate.

it makes no sense. 4 years of kinesiology and 3 years grad school is for physical therapy.

but physical therapy assistant is 2 year associates which the 4 years of kniesiology cant be used toward the 2 year degree. Even though its used for the 4 years for a physical therapist.

also it turns out a physical therapy assistant cant ever become a physcial therapist, the 2 year program cannot be used for any of the 7 years of PT. So in the eyes of the licence you get, they are 2 completely different jobs.

PTA makes 70,000
PT 100,000

since i will be living alone for my life, i am good only making 70,000 a year.

i really just want a stable job where personal training is not. I am really upset.


i need to get more info.

but for now my options are a strength and codintioning coach, a personal trainer(which i do already) but now with my degree i can make more money, or coaching or athletic director. These are kot careers in my eyes, where a PTA was the career i want, since i didnt do well to get into grad school, and i may have a record. Which was 10 years ago. I am totally different now.

trying to looks for more stable jobs in the exercise science field that i can make a decent living off of.

going to sign up for a PTA program, but now have to wait til january next year.

i litterally was trying ro graduate to be able to become a PTA but now i found out i may need 2 more years.

i am 32 years old, i want to start my life and already have a late start because of probabtion and mistakes from 10 years ago.

and when i get depressed i can lt eat alot of food.

so all my protein today was protein shakes and yogurt, so i dont want this to ruin my bulk. Need to move on with my life, it just sucks.

I was going for physical therapy, so i was going to go to grad school but then i got a charge my last semester, so i was going for 4 years undergrad to 3 years grad. But that charge screwed it all up. Which i messed up. So i was going for what i had in mind.

i also changed majors, and i took spanish all through college, which killed my average. I was not ready mentally i guess when i went. I was still to dumb. But now i am totally changed. I was so invested in a “social life” when i went 18-21 and i was dumb.

so i had 1 semester left and needed to at least finish that. I had 3 classes left when i got a charge. So i figured i can just do Physical therapy assistant now, but its not the case. But i looked it up at the time as a “back up” and i thought it said i could. I believe my advisor did also.

i am calling all the places tomorrow.

Luckily i have no college debt and wont even if i take the extra 2 years for PTA.

but now i am worried of a background check, my last incident was 8 years ago, but got 3 years probation. Which i finished 3 years ago.

This is exactly why i am pissed off at myself. Because of what you said. I did not care enough, i was doing substances, and not in a good place until 2 years ago.
 
Dammit woke up today i weigh 220, i was 230 lbs 2 days ago. So time to get back to business. So dumb, i need to do better with my diet. I have been eating 4500 cals, but now after 2 days of eating 3000 and not eating today i weigh 221.
No more bullshit.

Hmm, something seems odd about that. My strongman coach has his undergrad in kinesiology and went to a PT school in Florida that was online and got his DPT about a year ago. Maybe you are just looking at the wrong schools? I don't really know for sure. I'll see if I can figure out where he went to school... Just checked on linkedin, he went to Nova Southeastern University.

That would be helpful. Thank You

ok ill look into that. If i could do so online or even most online i would love that. But any schools in the state i am in seemed different. I could be looking at wrong schools, i will look around more.


Yes i can go to a PT school. But i have a 2.9 the minimum is a 3.0. So i have to call to see if they ever except people that low. My last year of college i got straight A’s in my kinesiology classes, but all my history and spanish classes i got c-. I suck at history and didnt put the time in.

There're waivers for everything. I'm sure if you could actually speak with someone and say "hey look, I got my shit together and here is proof" it may help your case. I'm fucking persistent when I want something and I'll do whatever it takes to remove all obstacles.

I am going to apply for a couple places just to see. Ill call and what not. Thanks
 
So i hit my goal today. Back at 227 this afternoon.

so i did legs

only deadlift and squat for 45 minutes

then walk for 30 min

then yoga 2x today

Trying to keep fats at 75 with 4500 cals.

but seems i always hit 90 which is ok.

have 800 cals left today of protein amd carbs. So rice and chicken for one more dish then i hit my goal.
 
Sounds like you are doing well. Keeping fats down in a bulk is very difficult for me.
Its getting a bit redundant,

i hope i see some better progress.

I just need to be a little more consistant.

Those days of not eating, dont allow for great progress. So fine tuning.
