Comments: really a pretty brutal workout, it was fun and it was hard to pull myself away. My groin stayed pretty sore throughout the workout but not in a capacity to where it stopped me. Right quad felt great, went up fairly heavy on leg press and the quad gave me zero trouble. Day 9 of Keto, I almost kicked myself out of ketosis with s banana and PB in my pre-WO shake. Have to be stricter either my carbs i guess. I’ll retest before bed to see where I’m at.

^^ Rocked that leg w/o brother. Glad to hear no pain or injury ended it early. I’m dreading my first leg day after this virus. I’ve probably lost 10 lbs not to mention the fluid, electrolyte, vitamin/mineral and other nutrient loss. Yep, legs are gonna suck. Lol

Load up with pedilite that’s what i do when I’m sick or after I’m sick to get rehydrated.

Seconding this. During my recent bout of food poisoning, Pedialyte, Halo Top and protein shakes were all I could keep down. Ended up never getting dehydrated, in spite of the fact that I was hosing from both ends near constantly.

Shoulders and Arms yesterday,

Was uber sore from legs the day before so i spent 30 min warming up and doing cardio. Got some comments on how my shoulders are filling out. I’ve never in my life trained them this hard, and I wish i would have. They are quickly along with my triceps becoming my best feature.

Comments: yesterday was my refeed day and i gained about 7 lbs of water. This morning when i checked Ketone levels they were zero.
After tonight’s workout I’m back into slight ketosis already. Very pleased with that. I’ve had less than 10 total carbs today. Doing all the cardio and working fast seems to be the ticket to getting into ketosis quickly. I’ll do around and hour total of cardio again tomorrow then back it down depending how deep I’m into ketosis by then.

My lifts felt strong as hell today. I benched 225 on incline for 10 reps, I’ve never done that before. Granted that was my first lift of the day and i didn’t flat bench to give my pec tendons a rest. All other lifts i felt very strong on.

MS why is that I can't lose weight. No matter if I down 2000 or 3000kc daily, I just feel more lousy than usual with former intake, could be there anything preventing me from mobilizing stored fat? Thyroid tests are remarkable, FT3 is hovering near top of range.

Good question, you seem to be fairly lean already from what i remember. Typically though you need a very solid and consistent diet over many many months. The leaner you already are the slower the last bit is to get off. Don’t get discouraged and stay the path.

[MuscleScience]

Back and Bi’s,

Not one of my normal high volume bruisers. Have a 2 week road trip for work and the holidays here in a few hours so didn’t want to be super sore. Got a lot of higher rep work in, trying to get back into ketosis after my refeed.

Cardio: 45min

[MuscleScience]

Travel day today, 13 hours in a car. Uggg. I’m ready for bed lol

I know them feels. After beings a truck driver for years, I can barely stand to sit in a vehicle for more than an hour anymore. By the second hour of having to sit still, I am ready to claw my face off, especially when bulking.

[OdinsOtherSon]

Morning MS. Things have been crazy this week so I’m behind, as usual. How’s the leg coming along?

[OdinsOtherSon]

Arms/shoulders:

3 sets hammer strength presses

3 sets shrugs w/ shrug bar

3 sets narrow grip bench press

3 sets reverse grip cable extensions super set w/ French presses

3 sets standings db curls super set w/ machine curls

Ever since I started this maintenance routine, I’m working muscle groups twice a week, with lower weight and less exercise movements, but reps are up. Also, I forgot just how long a combo arms/shoulders day can be.

Heading to grocery store. Making beef tips and rice tonight.

[songdog]

[MuscleScience]

Legs today,

Travel day today so i went in and did a quick leg workout just to get it in before i got on the road. Kinda can’t wait to get home next week and get the diet and exercise back to normal. Check back in a few days.

True warrior. I haven't touched a weight in a week. Get ready for a long sickness if its the same shit I have. It will be two weeks before my lungs are normal again.

I just picked up a mild cold over the weekend from one of my little cousins back home from thanksgiving. I actually feel pretty good, just don’t want to push it too much. I’m a little wiser than i use to be.

Looks like you have been crushing some workouts!

I just made up some Keto beef and veggie stew. Man was it good!

[MuscleScience]

going shoot that gun any?

its hunting season all over!

I actually helped my uncle process about 8-10 deer while home. He’s got a small plant that he runs in his retirement. They were bringing in some monsters. Just the few i saw had some dresses weight in the 180lbs range. Those are monster deer.

I shot my new rifle finally. 400 rounds with no failures or jams. It’s an MSR15 custom built. Chambered in .223 Wylde with eotech optics. Probably put a primary arms magnifier on once i get a bit of a budget to buy gun parts. Here a cool pic I got of my muzzle brake.

[OdinsOtherSon]

Sweet looking firearm! 400 rounds...that’s a great day of shooting. I’ve been very tempted to pick up deer hunting again simply to augment my protein source. 2-3 deer in the freezer will make up a lot of high quality meals!

For sure you wouldn’t have to buy much after that. I’m not a huge venison fan but i love me some summer sausage, deer jerky and even some brats out of it.

Some properly marinated and grilled tenderloins are hard to beat too.

[OdinsOtherSon]

Yesterday was leg day. Today chest.

3x10 decline bench, 225

3x6 incline bench, 225

3x10 incline hammer strength, 115 each side

Rotisserie chicken and rice afterward and heading home to put potatoes in the crockpot which has a pot roast in it. Getting famished just thinking about it!

[MuscleScience]

Sick day today,

Apparently I’m not over my cold. So i slept most of the afternoon. My chest is so congested and is killing me. I took a hot shower to help but no dice. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. Cause I got legs to blast and need to get into ketosis.

Hate to hear this, MS. Hope you’re able to kick it soon. Nothing more exhausting than coughing and hacking from congestion. Get some rest brother!

On the flip side, I’ve dropped some BF in the process.

This shit seems like nothing this your mucus turns on like a faucet and you literally feel like tou are drowning. I lost weight and got extremely pissed because I was doing so good. So I forced myself to do arms tonight. Still gagging. I wish you luck sir, get well.
