You've been doing a real great job for the year. You've lost a lot and been able to maintain the consistency. Really impressed, brother!

[cousinmuscles]

Last nights training

Squats 180x7
Bulgarian split squat 60x10
GHR +25x12
Roman chair leg raise x 25,25,25

Tired as hell, bad sleep lately, too much work. Finished training 1am.

[hammerheart]

Waiting for gym to reopen tomorrow. Didn't realize how much I need it until I was forced some days off... just too much stuff it's best to release on the weights.

Took yesterday off from gym, first day off since comp started. Did a little extra diet cheating yesterday too, but not too bad. Feel good and rested, finally stopped coughing up crap, should be a good week for muscle building and fat burning! Bout to hit back, bi's and cardio

That true, they're on top..... and I think woman feel great when they're on top.

(yep... I'm a bit ashamed of myself for that one... my apologies PB and Kitty.)

Good morning all!

Just got back from a week of work travel. Highlights are this:

- The people were fine, but I generally just don't like Los Angeles... and especially LAX. How do you guys live with that traffic? Went to Venice Beach, everyone should see it once, its an interesting people-watching experience. Muscle beach was cool to see in that "gotta see it" sorta way. Walked from there up to Santa Monica Pier, It was a hefty walk up and back, but a nice way to spend the day. Work stuff was unexpectedly good.



- I managed to get in all my workouts, two at the hotel with limited equipment, and once at a planet fitness (which was insanely crowded).... GPS said it was 10 miles away, 40 minutes later I was there, WTF?

- I ate well (relative to my normal eating when I travel). I did indulge, but stayed away from the desserts.

Progress update:

- I'm down about 9 pounds, its always a big drop in the beginning, I'll average about 2 pounds a week when this is over. That wont get me overly thin, and I could still stand to lose plenty more, but I'm thoughtful about this being a temporary endeavor. I don't want to just burn up (what little) muscle I have in an all out effort to lose weight... after all, I've seen you guys, I know where I stand and my changes relative to that. I'd like to be thoughtful of getting down in weight, and staying there for a bit. (re-reading that, sounds like an excuse,lol)

- I'm back to my normal chicken/eggs/beef diet, and in for leg day tonight.

Everyone is doing great, and I hope you all have a great week!

Best,

I agree. It’s nice to visit but would not want to live there. Venice beach is a walking freak show.

So excess sugar is from the gym being closed? Can you explain?

HH is such a sweet person that he produces natural sugar unless he overexerts himself, it keeps building up.

It's good to take a break from time to time, but it sucks when it's not your choice
