Cowboys Accountability Log

[Cowboymike]

Close grip upright rows to your teeth.
Once your bar reaches the top of the ROM roll your shoulders back and pull the bar apart.

Builds traps out back better than any shrug I have found.

Shrugs give height to traps, upright rows give shape to the back

Attachment 175477

This was cold but I was so pissed off I was sweating lol.

All these guys with huge traps up front piss me off.
My GD neck competes for room so bad I get dizzy when I turn my head but they are nowhere near comp level.

Fuck yeah man... I want to accomplish having traps like yours... you’re looking thick AF big dawg!

Man I’m so tired... thank goodness today didn’t require very much brain power. In fact it wasn’t even physically demanding either... simple work, enough to break a sweat but nothing too taxing on my body...

I will be going to bed super early tonight. Tomorrow’s another 3am wakeup and these bad boys are taking their toll on me lol...

Nothing too exciting to report today. I will say I’m really digging this NPP... though I feel maybe at the rate I’m pushing in that I’m not exactly on a trt protocol with it lol... it interesting though as even on what I considered would be slow dosing protocol I’m actually responding quite well to this compound. I actually expected to experience what I currently am when running tren ... but I don’t even come close to this on tren... in fact I’m starting to think maybe tren is just not a compound my body will accept and respond too... but this product.. I’m liking it for sure. A little pip here and there but nothing crazy or unacceptable... it’s still fairly early I think, but I’m liking it so far. Thumbs up for the NPP ;0)

Rest Day

[Obs]

I actually bought a jar of pickles for the juice based on your previous suggestions ;0) I downed some today in fact... I’m going to up my sodium intake as it seems to be a recurring theme. The cramping is horrible.. ceases me up and it scares me that one day I might not be able to push undo it..

It gets weird for me in summer time.
I will go to put something down and my hand stays closed as if I grabbed an electric fence. Shit gets "Sticky" as I call it. Several times I had to pull off the hoghway with leg cramps from pushing the accelerator.

Its dangerous and can hitt so fast you literally lose entire control of your body and wind up curled up on the ground screaming with entire body cramps.

[Obs]

Goodnight and keep killing it hoss

[kelkel]

Someday I will get enough age and time in this for my legs to look similar to your I hope.

Just stay under the squat bar and you will!

Thank you brother! I went lights out pretty quick lol

[Cowboymike]

Any tips on bar positions that keeps the bar off of the spine? At the base of the neck... the spine sticks out, as my head goes forward... I try to flex up my traps to lay bar on, but they’re just not big enough yet...

I low bar squat. I can't stand a high bar squat. I cut my teeth with a gym full of powerlifters so this is what I was taught. Plus I'm about 6' so it's just ergonomically better for me that way.

I shall study this maneuver and try it out next time... thank you! I had heard to try that before. Before I had to stop doing squat type movements... so now I just need to take the suggestion and do it!

Busy busy day without the wifey... errands ran, my chores complete, laundry almost all done, first phase food prep done.. thank god for a crock pot lol... made some bomb ass pulled chicken though. Can’t wait to dig into that!

Massage, tan, gym done done and done...

Busted out some legs, no cramping today thank goodness... no blow outs in my bum either so that’s also a plus.. but I definitely can see how remembering to squeeze the brown eye tight while doing the lifts is so very very important.. gotta strengthen all that up down there. So I don’t fall out again... only way to really perform this that I can see is to have some weight to push back against... so I will be working on strengthening everything all in one fail sweep ;0)

Felt super strong today so I decided it would be the day to push my limits.. but it only lasted as far as the leg press machine and then I could feel the backlash from doing them lol... so I dropped into a reg routine.. I did up the weight on the squats.. not sure how much more I can go while trying to figure this neck thing out... but I think it’s safe to stay low...

Winding down for the night.. in hopes that I sleep better than I have been in a couple weeks...

Hope everyone’s having a fantastic weekend so far!!

Work started early AF again.. I was all over the place today wrapping up small odds and ends... very productive day though!

Not sure wtf my issue was with food today... I couldn’t get enough... I was starving all day, even after eating... I was still starving... I made poor choices when I went to get a monster at 7-11... I wanted to eat the whole store... I bought a bunch of crap and pounded it all right then... and I was still starving... so of course, I bite it I write it... even though I’m thoroughly embarrassed.. I’ve done so friggin good.. then just out of left field, I blow it... oh well.. we shall see how the week pencils out... hopefully I didn’t fuck myself out of pancake Saturday lol..

Hit the gym and it was blissfully empty lol.. I hope it stays this way now. I had full access to anything and everything... I did notice the kettle bell slingers and platform jumpers in the corner... how the hell do they do that bull legged kettle bell swinging without blowing out a shoulder? Or bulldozing their ballsacks? I mean, they were literally over extending their arms swinging it to the top/back of their effing head!! Then down and under until the bell was out past their ass... I can’t imagine they’ll be doing that for very long without getting injured...

I got in a good arm routine, even though I modified it and dropped a bit of volume. I decided to go slow and extremely controlled today. My muscles responded nicely and I got a great workout in ;0)

Got my creatine and bcaas in last night.. so I started that today.. I’ve been so turned off by supplements as I’ve wasted hundreds per month on them in the past with no noticeable differences between taking them or not... so now that I’m pushing myself harder again and my body is starting to fight back with small ailments here and there, Ive decided to retry simple supplements and not going crazy like I use too... I’ll try it out for 6 months and see how it goes.. so I guess I gotta load the creatine... so the next 5 days will look a little ridiculous dosing it.



Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to have the ability to see. For my eye sight. Today I saw someone who didn’t have theirs. It really made me think about mine and how grateful I am for having it.

Then I was out of gas... so I couldn’t continue forearms... called it good

[Obs]

I have never used a kettlebell.

I couldn't live without eyesight.

We have a blind guy at the local bar everyone loves.

I went to the pisser one day and opened the door and the light was off. I turned the light on and there was the blind guy pissing all over the sink.

He is a good upbeat guy. Gets lots of strange. Won't date or marry. He is getting older though. Worry about him being alone someday.

He needs a deaf wife.
She will have to be good looking though.
He pulls off some pretty clean looking ponies once in a while.

I talked my gf into asking him if he was scared of the dark.

He said, "Fuck you".

Ive been noticing my mood has improved dramatically the past couple weeks... Im grateful for this. So friggin grateful for the enhancement of a peaceful mind... My mouth isnt wanting to just pop off at people over dumb shit.. Ive been getting a bit better at not only pausing before reacting, but being able to pause before my mind reacts has been awesome... it’s an odd experience... its like Im in control of how Im about to feel and or react... complete control... its epic

It was a long wet and cold day.. but with this storm front bring constant cloud cover, which will warm things up for us for a few days as it rains... I’m good with non freezing temps for a min...

I killed the work day, then went to the gym and owned the night with some back and shoulders... I’m not even going to bother changing the routine for a while... it’s destroying my targeted muscles as long as I remain slow and controlled.. I’ll keep it for a bit ;0)

I’m truly digging this NPP, I’ll be starting the dragon NPP starting tomorrow. I’m a bit off for being on trt... it’s turning into a bridge of sort lol...

Stomach surgery on the books for end of April... weight restriction to 15lbs but access to unlimited cardio work without core work though... I’m a bit agitated over that.. 6-8 weeks they want for heal time.... I don’t get it... but it is better than dying by choking on my stomach acid in the middle of the night... it’ll be nice to get off the ant-acid meds as well... liquid diet for a few weeks I guess and then soft foods and then regular as tolerated... I’m a pro at this kind of diet though after living with a wired shut jaw on many other occasions... so I just bought a new big ass ninja blender and a blender stick... key tools to have for a liquid diet my friends lol...






Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to feel rain on my face... I truly love the feel of cold rain hitting my face for some reason... I love to look up into it and close my eyes sand feel it on my face... it made me think of people who cant feel sensations on their skin.. it made me feel grateful I get to experience cold rain on my face...

A good day today. Felt good and strong in the gym blasting legs. Definitely happy about increase in reps. I had plenty of juice to go. I didn’t want to ruin myself though. Kept things slow and controlled. Tried out the low bar squats. A little awkward feeling, but productive. I’ll continue to keep the weight low until I can get the form down and feel comfortable upping it. Successful trip to the gym though.

Got the rest of my chores done today and winding down, getting ready for an early turn in so I can wake up at 2 to be to work by 3am tomorrow...

Hope y’all had a killer weekend!

A little odd at first, but seemed to quickly adapt and had zero pain in my neck. It feels a little awkward, but I’ll just keep the weight lower until I’m 100% comfortable and got the proper form down. (Thank god for the video!)Then I’ll go for gold. Big thanks for this lovely tip!!

Little frustration experienced today... once again releasing others of my need to control helps to eliminate such frustrations...

Smashed some chest at the gym and made it through everything. Feeling good though... the added salt to my diet and utilizing those IV hydration packets I normally use for hiking, and all that cramping and craziness I was experiencing has completely vanished. Overall it has paid off and its night and day difference... Ive been trying to keep my water intake lower. So I don’t flush it all out... thats been a little difficult. I feel like Im in water rations lol...




Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to have the gym as an outlet to express my frustrations and or anger. And not on others. But Im also grateful that this need to vent is has become very much less frequent.

Interesting day mentally I would say.. a little bit of a roller coaster... I just kind of wish at this point that if my boss is going to pull me in on his jobs, that he pull his own weight as well... Im not a man who feels hes above anyone else. Ill do any job. Dig a ditch, scrub a toilet, do the grunt work, do the boss work... but one thing I cant stand is people who cant put in their work to match the rest.. just because youre a boss, doesnt mean you cant get your hands dirty and help lose and unload and do grunt work... if everythings done and youre watching me load the truck and not doing anything to help, go fuck yourself in the ass with a sea urchin infested caveman club... I hate working on his jobs. He typically reserves the shit work for me lol... The more jobs I can do away from micromanagement the better for my mental health.

Hit full back day at the gym. Really tuned in this time it felt like... They were doing some kind of party at the gym.. vendors, energy Jello shots... give aways.. a DJ... it was pretty cool. I was a little irritated at first tbh as I just wanted to work out uninterrupted... but then I really let what they were doing sink in and it made me grateful to be apart of a gym who gives back. They werent charging and they were giving away all kinds of little goodies.. to me thats pretty cool... memberships are really that expensive and it wasnt cheap what they did...

Lots of new faces though I noticed. But not too crowded... so itd be cool if this was the new norm. A solid blend of ripped and shredded to plump and fluffy.. everything in between... even the big mofo strutting around cause he knows hes put in the work to be a beast lol... I like the variety though... everyone at different stages of their journey... I couldnt help but fist bump a bunch of people on my way through the gym and out the door... thats seriously the most social Ive ever been at the gym.. ever. Everyone was receptive and bumped lol..

I really want to try that back extensions on the Roman chair... but Id be a liar if I said I wasnt concerned about the lower back pump... I mean, honestly, is there any way that it ends up getting less painful? If I just say screw it and work that beast to death... will it gain stamina and strength and release me from that dreaded lower pump? It truly interferes with things.. but Im thinking I need to strengthen my lower back more. At least give it some attention..

[Obs]

Personally with my disc tge way it is, if my back starts getting a tight pump then thats all she wrote.

It moves the disc forward and they just get tighter until I am at the chiro getting put back in.
I have never been able to work through a back pump

A challenging day to say the least... I definitely created some learning opportunities for myself today... luckily I didn’t create to much damage and was able to quickly rectify the situations, despite costing money on material.. I feel bad for the customer, as I know the company will still charge for the material and time to fix it... it’s totally my screw up. I feel bad.

So drained today mentally, which in turn hit me physically... slept like crap as well... so today was checking off check boxes at the gym. Just got through the routine. I didn’t push myself as hard as I should have...

Tomorrow’s a new day. Dust myself off, leave today with today... wake up fresh and leave it in yesterday where it belongs. Move forward. Learn from it. Don’t repeat it. Life goes on.




Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to be reminded I’m only human too and will still create learning opportunities by way of making mistakes.
