Seriously jinxed myself here Tarmy…

got home from shooting to find out my oldest son broke a bone in his hand at the BMX track.

First day of school is tomorrow (he was supposed to ride his bike with his clarinet, lol) and it’s his right hand.

Tuesday starts football practice with full pads for the first time.

Still envying your day and admiring that Apple pie

My wife literally just said “I’m not cooking tonight (she was at urgent care for 2.5 hours. Takeout Chinese I’m thinking.

Fuck me. That is a bad day. Anytime my girl hurts herself (which is all the time as she is super active) it feels like I hurt myself. Sucks dude. Hope the little guy recovers quickly.

Not much argument about the no cooking part I take it [emoji3] Can’t really go wrong with Chinese food.

Today’s workout and shoulder recovery routine.


Shoulder routine

[tarmyg]

Dinner. Garlic crusted chicken with a lemon sauce and green beans.

[tarmyg]

Been a few days of not updating the log. Made a few changes to my workout as my shoulder is pretty fucked. I saw the thread around Doug Brignole and figured this is a good time to try something different. Not modified much beyond running some CrossFit classes here and there (was also my intention when starting this log) for a while. Tried Dougs back workout and felt pretty awesome. Also tried his leg part. Also awesome. Chances I am going to stop squatting anytime soon though is zero.

After shoulders and triceps today my arm felt like a smooth log. So blood filled I could not see a single indentation.

[tarmyg]

Decent leg day today. Strength is coming back after almost 2+ years of perpetual dieting due to shoots but I feel strength right there.

Back squats at 365x5 today. Worked up adding 20lb each set.

[tarmyg]

Wife made Subway style chocolate chip cookies and left a few uncooked balls for me to chew on.

[tarmyg]

Training and then wife’s home oven roasted chicken and potatoes.

[SampsonandDelilah]

It’s a miracle you don’t weigh 400 pounds

[tarmyg]

Pizza night at home after training.



Then I got a new toy. A Freelibre Glucose sensor. Just a 14-day trial. Fun to see how this works.

[SampsonandDelilah]

How does it work? Advantages?

Kind of thinking ahead here if I were to ever run slin. It updates my glucose levels every minute to an app so you can super track how certain foods affect you. I also got type 2 in the family. My aunt who is 72 and super fit for her age even got it.

[tarmyg]

Leg training and wife’s food cooking. AG consider it bottom feeder food I call it delicious [emoji39]

[tarmyg]

Dinner.

[DinAZ]

Dinner.

Your pics always make me hungry! At least it’s almost lunch time.

[tarmyg]

Worked chest as well as I could with this fucked shoulder. Probably time to get some help with it as resting it is not helping. Simply sleeping on it hurts like a mofo in the morning. Did biceps too.

Took some updated pictures.

Worked shoulders and triceps.

[tarmyg]

Training is going ok but work is insane at the moment. Barely time to breathe. Having some BP issues going on so setup for a 24 continuous monitoring later this month.

[tarmyg]

Got a new addition to the family. The existing one is yet to come out of the closet and super pissed off wondering when this new intruder is going to leave.

[tarmyg]

Dinner

[tarmyg]

What are we looking at here? My wife took some 3-day old croissants, mixed them with blueberries, bacon and put a caramel custard on top for breakfast. That is Saturday and how we roll in this house. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji23]

[tarmyg]

Legs today. Felt good.

[tarmyg]

Chest and biceps this Sunday afternoon. Used these machines today and of course dumbbells. Using much more machines at the moment to help with som injury recovery.

[tarmyg]

This. Is. Amazing. How can this fruit actually taste like cotton candy grapes I have no idea but it does. Highly recommend.

[tarmyg]

Morning walk and evening workout.

[tarmyg]

Quick triceps and shoulders yesterday.



Today is legs day. Favorite day of the week.

[tarmyg]

Wife made steak and salad. [emoji847][emoji120]

[SampsonandDelilah]

Checking in on your brother!! The food porn is the best I’ve ever seen! You’re liking great too, and strong!

Sitting down to write you something proper, life has been crazy the last two weeks and anything beyond 3 sentences feels overwhelming

[tarmyg]

Training and then dinner.


Dinner

[tarmyg]

Crappy at logging at the moment.

Training and then wife made carrot cake with mascarpone, cream and maple syrup frosting.

[tarmyg]

Training and then wife’s dinner.

[tarmyg]

Off for work in London for a week. Training will be whatever I can squeeze in.

I see you got out of India finally that's good

[tarmyg]

English breakfast, literally.

[tarmyg]

Back in Sweden after a week in London. Did not train once but I did eat a fuck ton of burgers.

Trained and had dinner and wife’s apple pie.

[tarmyg]

Worked triceps today. Starting to look quite fat but determined to push this until April next year for strength.

“Quite fat” is a bit harsh id say; we generally are harder on ourselves than on other people. I’m sure with your work ethic & consistency you will add lots of strength over ~6 months and then can cut for summer.

Do you have a specific target body weight you are trying to bulk up to?

No target weight. I find weight to be a pretty crappy measure (I do weigh myself) so tend to see how much stronger I get and how I look.

The way your wife cooks food, it’s a miracle you’re not 350#!!

You look great and a few extra lb’s in the pursuit of strength is part of the game. You have the discipline and knowledge to shed it come April, be graceful on yourself Tarmy.

You bust your ass in there…eat big + lift big = mass. Bulking comes with a little extra fluff, it’s winter!

Looking at that pot roast and that apple pie put 5 pounds on me and I didn’t even have a bite

Bulk away brother

[tarmyg]

Not updated for a bit. Been using a CGM on my arm to record glucose levels. Something I would recommend everyone tries. Very useful data there.

Pretty fat at the moment but definitely getting stronger. Not able to bench due to my shoulder but everything else is good to go. Squatting 375x5 at the moment so that part feels good. Going to push through as planned and start dieting in March/April timeframe.
