    So, not the HIT intended in this thread.

    2 days in a row for biceps & triceps. Did back today, but going 12-15 reps and 15-30 seconds rest in between. But, repeated biceps & triceps for a second day. Would have preferred to SS bi’s & tri’s but hate when others claim more than one area, so don’t do that.

    4 sets at 25 reps each for 2 movements each. Minimal rest between sets, had to drop weight as well. Drop sets from Hell.

    Decorating for Christmas today and this is probably the best ornament we got. My wife got it from her advisor when finishing her PhD. Hilarious.

    Start having a little more time for myself now.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    First time back at the gym.

    Hit arms today nothing crazy just a nice warm up to go back hard next week.

    From the sickness I have melted a lot of fat off me.

    Just did the basics for bis ans tris.

    Db arm curls, hammer curls, single arm pulley machine and the bicep machine to finish.

    Tris I did tricep push downs on the straight bar narrow and wide, then rope push downs and to finish db kick backs.

    Felt good to be back in the gym and hitting some weights. Veins were popping everywere due to the lack of hydration.

    The massage lady and my sweetheart of a postal carrier love Amazon, so Amazon gift cards addressed their needs. Prime took care of about 50% of our shopping, though.

    Got both the sister in law and niece gift cards for 1 hour massages and then went to another place and got them the manicure/pedicure gift cards.
    If Amazon sold ammo, etc. that would have trimmed my errands down even more.

    Just a few things left to buy for Christmas Angels, but I like to shop local for those things. Some of it Mrs. AG will have to do, I'm useless when it comes to knowing anything about children.

    For a few items, I still support the mom and pop/brick and mortar stores.

    Un- fucking real. At 2:53 the f-in power goes out and when I called it in, the recording said it is for scheduled maintenance?

    A-holes should send out an announcement ahead of time.
    I've got to get ready for work in a couple of hours. It will have to be a quick, cold shower.

    Wonderful start on a Monday.

    Power came back on just in time to get ready for work. Otherwise it would have been a cold well water bath.

    Guess I'm lifting this evening.

    Back about 6 years ago, the AAS in Mexico would say for veterinary use only, not for human consumption. EQ with a picture of a horse. LOL
    They have changed now.

    Hey all, hope the holidays are treating you good. Popped in for a quick read and some motivation. Just finished up a nice little run with a different lifting protocol - finally found something effective for me that showed decent results in reasonable amount of time. Take that, genetics! Rolling into cruise mode for a bit then back at some HIT or other after the holidays. (I say cruise, but trying to keep my recomp gains will be as hard or harder than getting the gains to begin with!).

    Heading out to San Francisco in about 12h. Takes 23.55h to get there from Bangalore :-) Should be mildly pooped once I get there. Really looking forward to being home for 3-weeks and at the same time I have never been away from my daughter this long since she was born so that will not be fun. Will miss the wife to of course but being adults help. The 9-year old got me in her pocket :-)

    Got a world gym next to the Airbnb I'm staying at so I should get my training in. Would be hell otherwise. Next stop SF.

    Almost 8 weeks and down 10.6. Hoping to end at 12. But likely not.Thanksgiving derailed progress for a week. Salt, a piece of cake, one wine and bunches of stress! I learned.


    At this pace I’ll be on maintenance and lean and toned for summer.

    AG. I had new therapist with advanced applied kinesiology training. I was referred to him bc his speciality is deep tissue. Deep tissue is relative, right.

    I’m in his deep tissue club/HIGH pain tolerance!

    I’ve rescheduled!!!!

    So you've already scheduled another appointment?

    How did you feel post- treatment?

    Imagine like a baby. It was an unexpected massage. He dug into vertebrae at neck, deep into front of shoulders, biceps, hamstring, quads like no other. I feel amazing but with pain to touch.

    I may have to follow this one!

    Nice!! I'm past due myself. I got a "quickie" session last Saturday (?) while out going some shopping.
    The young lady I go to had recently started working Saturdays so I'm looking forward to a full session.

    How long are your massages. This therapist says it is better every other week then once monthly for 1.5.

    I’m planning on 1.5 every other week for a bit.

    I generally go with 90 minutes every 4-6 weeks just because of my schedule, but my cute massage lady has said basically the same thing. Better results with shorter, more frequent sessions.
    If my work schedule would allow it I would be better off getting my back/hams/quads done, then 2 weeks later for upper body.
    From their standpoint, I imagine the fatigue factor would make it harder for them to keep up the pace for 90 minute sessions?

    I noticed the butts in this video are WAAAYYYYY smaller than today....

    I was lost with the big art & statement pieces comment. Do you collect? My favorites at home are large & you can’t miss their point.
