bro what lmao thats like two different stratospheres.

but mofongo w some camarones or pernil rn doe woooooooooooooo
lol true... if we're talking desserts then I'll take some flan/creme brulee

the only "diet marketed foods" I mess with nowadays are those quest protein cookies  
 
ever  since i started my first job/career I havent lifted..

Havent lifted in a week and I havent DL'ed in over two weeks. Also been on a caloric deficit for about two weeks and I have a bad cold lol.

but I went and hit back and bis today... Tried to get a PR on my DL... i dont know wtf I was thinking lol. My current PR is 385.

395.. failed. Got it like 3 inches off the ground and thought i was gonna pass out. Dropped it asap.

but I still put in a lot of volume with 285 and a couple 315...

but damn yall... working full time now aint no joke... it kills me mentally and physically.. big props to everyone who works a 9-5 and still lift.

Lol bro those are GOAT work hours... I consider myself blessed to work during the traditional work day... if I didn't have kids I'd be probably at the gym 3 hours a night playing ball and lifting

Wasn't such a good day for me today. Had a real stressful shift at work. Got off this morning and I shoulda listened to my body to get a nap in even though I was able to catch a few hours at work.

My mind still needed to recover. Did shoulders and arms to relieve some stress but was just out of it. Trying to not let it tying the rest of my day which I have a habit of. Oh well. Tomorrow's another day
 
Hey guys, It's been a month today that I herniated my disk.
the pain is still there but I can move so much better. i have days where its hard to stand up, then i ahve days where i can walk fast paced.

I did my first psuedo leg work out since my accident. lets are so sore, it was basically a bunch of air squats and air lunges making sure my pelvic bone was in. let me tell you it was tough. got through it without putting stress on my spine.
got a new back brace too so hopefully that keeps me aligned,
I love korea and their medical plan cost me 5 bucks for the brace, suction cup heat massage, and muscle relaxers and pain pills.

it may be a few more months before IM jogging or doing any weighted leg work, but i'll be back.
I'm able to bench again. have to do it with legs up on the bench, but got under 225 yesterday only got 5 reps. but damn it felt good to rep out again.

as always i appreciate the words fellas
def appreciate seeing the work being done in this thread as well. keeps me motivated.
 
****. No desire to get it in today. Went Monday-Thursday. Took yesterday off and don't wanna go today. *angry face*

I could smash 10 oz of salmon like no other protein source. I can barely eat 4 oz of ground turkey at a time. But fish isn't as filling. Still hungry lol

Do you get stopped a lot in the gym?
I would hate that ish too. I always have a mean face on so people don't talk to me. When im in the gym im in the zone and just want to kill the weights
 
Hit 295x3 tonight on the deadlift a new PR
I wanted to join the 315 club sooo bad but it was starting to feel uncomfortable going higher in weight without a belt
125x10
225x10
275x5
295x3
Felt pretty good on a Saturday night [emoji]128526[/emoji]
315 club I'm coming!!!
 
Nice, you'll be there soon. Belt or not just keep dl and you'll be able to hit 315 with good form in no time.

Could probably do it now if you did less reps at 225

Training intensity is getting better with each workout, feeling as confident as ever under the iron and the mental aspect of that is helping me push my body harder than I ever have before.

Ready to continue to hit higher levels, I see lot of y'all in here doing the same, the journey is beautiful.
 
I'm looking to change my workouts...Is there an interactive workout website?

Where can I input my maxes and it gives approx weights for each week?

I hate the websites where it tells you to 3x10 of this exercise but pick whatever weight you want.
