Welcome To Planet Mother Fucker

I’m no guru like you, but I agree. When I got my fat ass back in the gym a couple years ago I needed to drop a lot of fat. The first few months were easy, then I sort of hit a plateau. I started having a cheat day once a week and everything picked back up. And by cheat day, I just threw in more carbs, not junk, more rice, potatoes, bread etc, because being a diabetic those damn carbs are my downfall.
Oh McRib here I come lol
 
Enjoying back days a lot.

I get a lot of looks from people, I think because I'm doing a lighter weight with great form (last set is generally an rpe 7 or 8, unless instructed to go light or heavy) Everyone seems to have such over exaggerated movements, form isn't really kept most of the time. I'll get a good stretch on some stuff but I'm trying to hit seriously good reps with good consistency.

Closing in on the end of week 7. 5 more to go.

Most people never learn to do reps to feel the target muscle. Once you’ve got the feeling and some mass, a bit of english doesn’t detract from the movement. Guys that have never felt their lat, hamstring, or calf contract toss around this dumb weight and wonder why they’re small....

It's something we all know we need to be doing but most do not. Even before I became a PL, I did tons of volume with plenty of intensity, just was very immature with how I went about it. That immaturity followed me into PLing I think...

Now I find myself looking for ways to make lagging mind/muscle connections, well, connect better. The nutrition plan is key though. I feel like the steady flow of the appropriate food is a game changer. Oh, and cant forget about the drugs, too...
 
Name of the game for PL is efficiency. Name of the game for bodybuilding is inefficiency. Make the movement as hard as possible for a single muscle or group vs. finding the easiest way to move from A to B.

The injuries follow the guys that train with tons of cheat and extra movement.
 
I can't sleep. I had to hug another man who lost his only son tonight. I can't explaine explaine how empty I feel. I had no clue what to say or do other than hug this man like he was my own blood. I can't believe this is still part of life right now. I'd trade away everything if I could....

You are not kidding. I have children myself, my heart goes out to anyone who has lost a child. I cannot even imagine. I could get through anything except losing one of mine. God bless him.

Can’t fathom that. I mean you always “get” it, but now that I have a son i understand it. Horrible. There’s no words, you did all you could.
 
Was at a nightclub last night, fundraiser for my son's best friend that recently passed. I've known the deceased for years, finally met his father. I can't tell you guys how hard I hugged the man. He broke down in tears which made me do the same.

The whole thing about having a child and raising him or her into an adult that can fend for themselves is horse shit. Doesn't matter how well you prep them. Your job is never done. The world is a fucked up place. No matter how much you hedge your bets things are bound to go sideways.

Onward and upward

Lots of activity at my gym today, kinda pissed me off. Had to improvise on a few exercises. The landmine attachment was broken, somehow lol. Been a crazy day all around. Started work at 5am, didn't get out until 5pm. Shit nutrition all day. Low water intake. Not a stellar performance lol. Did get a good workout though. Did a little extra pack pull work. Got 545 for an pretty easy 3. My strength is slowly creeping up.

Swapping out an old A/V system at a client's restaurant and bar. Streaming technology. 10 gig to each endpoint. Really cool technology, but wicked dorky shit haha. Too many wires, 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lbs bag20181112_123114.jpg
