**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[cousinmuscles]

Second last training:
Seated Smith press 115 x 8,8,7
No straps pullups +15x 12, H grip x 12, WG x 8, underhand x forgot reps here
Standing calf raise 105x36 RP 8 RP 8
Seated calf 30x 50 RP 15 RP 15

Lost my straps, very sad day. Luckily a couple days later a guy in the gym asked if I lost some, he said he found white leather eleiko straps... What a guy! Even though I ordered new online this made me happy.

Last night's training
Rack deads standing in yellow plate 270x0
Got very weak here, just couldn't find the right start pressure... Strange I'm switching out this exercise
SLDL 210 x 6 grip fail
Standing cable crunch 50x 25,25,25
1 hand barbell hold (grip) 60 x 30s, 30s, 30s

I’ve decided to dabble with Keto. I just need to figure it out before I get fat from eating avocados, heavy cream, bacon and eggs. Lol

Starting with the fasting mimicking diet for first 5 days which is supposed to throw me into ketosis with 3 days while avoiding keto flu.

1 avocado and green drink in morning
1 avocado and green drink in evening

After this i need to figure out my game plan. I’m finding so many variants of keto - a tad bit confusing.

[GirlyGymRat]

I would say 5-10 seconds! Edit: I am guessing here because it is safe to say I was a bit off my game.

I would have cold cocked him in line.

[Obs]

Did chest again under marcus's program it was very productive. This entire week has been very productive and I feel like the high dose tren may have been holding me back. Felt strong and great all day.

I have begun working out before I go to work and it is helping too. Its hard to reach past failure when you are physically and mentally exhausted. So thats the compromise. If I am gonna be too tired to do something it will be work and not working out.

Calves are improving tremendously and I hope they stay that way. I would be a lightyear ahead if I had joined a gym from the start.

Back day tomorrow and my back has been chomping at the bit for two days. I will rule that workout tomorrow.

[tarmyg]

The root canal is done and I am feeling about 90% and hopefully 100% tomorrow and should be back training. A few more weeks of cutting should be enough to be in a state where I can start the cycle. Still a bit concerned as it's a 14-week cycle and I have only run short burst ones since my first one.

What happened yesterday has been on my mind all day and I must admit that my response to the situation was a bit unusual to myself. I can, generally speaking, be a bit short tempered so this took me by surprise. Considering the country I live in and their approach to gay people I can say this is a fairly bold move. Now, I spoke to some friends of mine and they told me that if I can find a single woman who has been riding a crowded bus in this country and at one point or another not been felt up they'll be surprised. Apparently equally common among men. Pretty insane place!

[cousinmuscles]

Last night's training

Db bench 60 x 4,4,5
Db Inc 45 x 12,12,12
Then followed this guy who wanted me to join in his chest routine, four hammer strength chest machines, a crossover machine, pec Dec and tricep pushdowns. Felt like endurance work but great pump, took a pic will see if I can find it

What will your cycle consist of?

[tarmyg]

Test and Deca cycle. Running Deca because I got a lot of it at home I picked up a long time ago, well, almost 2-years at this point. Seems like a waste to not use it. Test because I can just pick it up at my local pharmacy for no money at all.

I'll use test prop and npp next cycle myself. I brewed lots of test E last year, regretted it, hate waiting 6 weeks before it kicks in... Hopefully I'll use the vials before the alcohol starts melting the rubber stopper lol!

[marcus300]

I am down to 240lbs, ive lost some muscle due to not training my style fully over the last few months but my injuries and my work schedule had to take priority but hopefully some more weight loss will occur over the next few weeks/months.

I am feeling better, giving blood next week then I have a full bw screening which is vital for me so finger crossed.

I had no idea this is common place! Saddens me.

You have a lot of sand.
I would be in prison.
I have exploded on people for bullshitting with the cashier with a line behind them.
A guy grabbing my dick or feeling up my gf is instant attack and I cant stop until they stop moving.
Well handled though seriously. I would have escalated it needlessly and paid the price.

No gym going on 3 weeks. 1 week was for vacation. I fired a guy 4 weeks ago. On the same day my best guy gave his 2 week notice. School is out and my son must be dropped off and picked up from camps for the next 6 weeks. My life right now is uncontrolled chaos.

[clarky.]

Hi fellas/ ladies, life is mad just now again, just like most of yous. training and diet is going good, another 3lb lost this wk. So 11lb in about 1 month or so.

[clarky.]

Got chest and cardio done the night, really tired from work so just some sets.

I hope it smooths out for you cape.
There is something going on in the world right now that is abnormal as fuck. Everyone on the forums is swamped and stressed AF lately. If my skin gets any thinner I am gonna take my ass to a shrink or seek a frontal lobotomy. The tiniest shit turns into the biggest fiasco lately.

Wow. It just so happens I’ve started doing lobotomies. Want me to schedule you an appointment?

Seriously, thx Obs.

After my day today and the two phone calls since my last post... Can you schedule me this week?

I was laying down to sleep after I posted that and just about to doze off. Another emergency call, tree on a house, immediately followed by a call in which I got my ass ripped for ten minutes over something from weeks ago that apparently caused big ripples I didn't foresee.

Heck with sleep.
If I could run away right now I would.

Whatever is going on in everyones life I hope it slows down. There has to be a peak approaching somewhere about here.

[cousinmuscles]

Found le pics

And this,

Either the pose catches a good arm shot, or a good chest shot, not both, some day I'll get this pose right.

Looking great cousin but please tell me those arent crocs on your feet

Like everyone else, life is a total shitshow right now. Worked 2 looooong days Monday and Tuesday and carried Mrs. AG to the maxillofacial surgeon Monday, which was a craptacular waste of time. Should've just ridden by his office, threw some $$ and insurance info at him, and given him a cordial "Thanks for f-in nothing" and been done with it.
Now she is being referred to another random fvck, er, specialist. She is all upset because she is afraid I'm not resting enough, LOL. I keep telling her I'm fairly durable and that if I haven't shot the crapper by now, I'm probably good for a few more years.
May have started my job search a bit too early, but didn't want to be late to the party. Phone and email has been blowing up. Explained to them that I wouldn't be finishing up at my current job until the end of September, but have 3 interviews setup for the last of this month.
Will be going to SolidWorks training next week, so I guess I will be awake with the rest of you daywalkers. Figure I can lift around 3:30 or 4 a.m. and then make the drive over to the training site later in the morning; it's only about an hour's drive.
Absolutely, definitely, positively will lift late Wednesday night. Mrs. AG already has her broomstick by her nightstand and she promised to make sure I am up in time. Think she referred to me as a walking time bomb.
On a side note, I do have a low shelf complete lower from Spike's headed my way soon, so I see some range time coming up.

Nice!!! Very similar to what I have planned.

My trouble AG with any workout is I have to keep my elbows close to my sides due to my shoulder, so I am governed by protecting my RC.

Ive lost 20lbs and feel pretty good about it, my health feel better and moving is easier

Moving easier is always better! I think I dodged the bullet on my shoulder and the hamstring niggle has calmed down quite a bit.
When is your labwork scheduled?
