Back on the grind. Did some soul searching and decided I can buck up and beat this job. I spent my days off (after working 10 days in a row) meal prepping and game planning. Brought a damn backpack with one of those thermal safe bags inside to work. Whenever I needed to eat, I would tell my training dude, "you go ahead and take a smoke break, I'll meet up with you in a min." and I proceeded to stuff my face with glorious macros. Had enough energy after my 12 hours to hit the gym finally. As long as I can eat during the day, there should be no excuses not to get it in. meal prepping is just gonna have to be a way of life from now on.


Anyways, Getting back into it chest day

Some vigorous stretching
(Everything 5X10)
Flat Bench
Incline Bench
dumbell bench press
machine press
some new floor dumbbell fly (see video below)
cable fly's
(motherflubber :smile: I forgot to do dips damn it)
isometric pushups until failure
Then I whooped some lil 10 year olds in some hoops 2-30, then 4-30

I had never tried this floor fly variation before. Stretched the hell out of my pecs for freal. From 32second mark to 1:14

Sensational :smokin
 
low key i got dumb carpal tunnel so i cant grab no iron but :smh:
think i might put some plates on my abs and chest while i lay down doing leg and arm raises :ohwell: lol gotta do sumthin before i lose it all n fall off completely
 
Finally back in the gym after taking a week off starting doing backs and felt very sluggish soo I decided to give those energy drinks a try and tried bang blue raspberry for the first time and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed by the engery I got from it. Think I might look into them.
 
Checking in.

Weight has been all over the place the last couple of months. If I didn't love to run, I'd be overweight easily.

I love to be clean cut so I decided something. I'm not allowed to cut my hair until I shed about 15-20 lbs while also hitting some of my strength goals in the major lifts.

Wish me luck or I'll be looking like Jon Snow soon. :lol:
 
I have had inflammation in my sternum for the last month and eased up on lifting overall.

Went for a heavy back day yesterday and failed lifting 5 plates. Last month I got it up 5 times :frown:

I lost about 7-10 lbs and lost all kinds of strength and my sternum is still not fully recovered. The summer of gains turned into a summer of pain. The iron path is full of obstacles and we must persevere but......

Got any pics of how it looked like? I seem to have a lump on the bottom of the sternum too but the two doctors said it was jut my Xyphoid Process. I never noticed mine stuck out like that but then again, I've dropped 30+ lbs since the beginning of the year.

I may go to one more Doctor for some x-rays though.

I don't have pictures but there wasn't any physical showing of it that I noticed. The doctor told me it's inflammation but it might also be a slight tear. The pain is from the middle of the chest to the left pec. It was sharp when it first started but now it's a dull pain that is slowly going away.
 
Any of you guys have experience with diuretics? I'm taking a bottle from GAT that I got on sale. Said why not and see what it does. 5-6 days in and I dropped like 3lbs. Sitting at 178.5 now :wow:.

That much that quick normal? Could I have been retaining a lot of water weight this whole time?

3lbs of water weight in 6 days doesn't sound crazy to me. Also if you're crushing sushi like you said above then I assume you have a high carbohydrate diet, so it's very possible you are carrying a few lbs of water weight. :lol:

That's what I'm taking. Minus the burn. Scale says it's working and I'm slightly leaner.
12 in a day? Lawd
