Definitely feeling the week now lol.. I was flying high... that’s ok though... still hammering away at the week and staying on point and focused...

Hit shoulders and back today, left some gas in the tank to hit the cardio as well... tbh it was raining typhoon like anyway and my unobservant ass failed to see the dark clouds looming when I parked two lots away from the gym entrance... so I had time to kill lol... I swear it rained so hard non stop for 30min, it seemed like at least 2ft dumped... obviously not the case, but it was crazy downpour..

Going to hang it up now, get my booty to bed. Early start tomorrow.

Just pulled a 15... brutal day. I’m just not built to withstand these long days anymore lol.. my late 20’s early 30’s I was slamming out 18-20 hour work days and traveling all over the country. I was literally only home 3 days out of every month if I was lucky... no holidays, no sick days, no vacations... just balls to the wall, work was my life, having the time of my life, one non stop good time... not a chance in hell I can do that now... how the hell others are pulling two jobs and then picking up odds and ends on weekends to boot?!? Effin animals man lol...

I’m not going to the gym. I gotta be at work in 6 hours. I wanted to do legs tonight. I ate the day to prepare for it... hopefully my burned vs intake isn’t off for the week now and screw me out of pancake Saturday... I won’t be a happy cowboy that’s for sure...

Hoping to get off at a decent time tomorrow... hoping to get legs in before the weekend.

My left arms having a few issues.. that elbow is really flaring up on me (I’m thinking my lack of npp and increase of tren are the culprit though tbh... but now that thumb pad muscle is so tight and in pain that its also connecting to my underside of my forearm, via the underside of my wrist... it’s so friggin tight I honestly feel like it’s going to simply snap... I’m kind of at a loss about this... I don’t know a remedy for such a situation... I had to go ape shit wrenching ALL day... 10 hours of straight up pushing and pulling and exertion.... and on the drive back I felt it tightening up. To a painful tightness... now it’s just a full fingers to elbow super wound band about to snap... I’m going to icy hot and wrap that shit and go to sleep... but I need it for the finishing hours necessary to finish this hell job...

Anyone have any remedies for super wound tight muscles about to snap? Non narcotic or head changing remedies? I don’t smoke weed, take valium, nor use the kratom... just not for me. Other options would be appreciated.

Night everyone! Can’t wait to catch up on everyone’s threads.

I went off the rails today on my diet... and to be 100% honest, zero fuks given lol... I’m actually guilt free today over it... however, I have admittedly been a little sloppy the past few days... so I went ahead and allowed it one more day.. as I’m about to head into carb restriction mode for the next 4 weeks minus cheat meal Saturday mornings... I have 2 bags of salad left... so other than that and baby carrots, I will be upping protein, lowering carbs... time to prepare my body for that liquid diet.

Hit the gym early to get my picture done for the SP contest.. a little smooth talking I was granted the ability to pull it off...
my entry:


then got changed up and smashed legs... even though I was fasted and my stomach/body was extremely unhappy regarding that decision, I got through it... but paid for it when I decided to feed the beast lol...

Hit all my chores and errands for the day, came home ate a whole bag of salad and passed out lol... I’m pretty convinced I’m allergic to salad though... my body does not process it well at all... I go through great pains after... but damn they’re so good and crunchy and I can’t just eat the whole bowl in 5 min... so I get to enjoy all the flavors.. I only have two bags left anyway...

Took my lady out to catch an early movie, sat down for some dinner and calling it good... if that suns going to be out tomorrow, like it was today, a sunrise from a mountain top is in my very near future...

Hope everyone’s having a kick ass weekend so far!

What movie did you & the wife see Cowboy?

Oh, and that breakfast is KILLER!

[Cowboymike]

What movie did you & the wife see Cowboy?

Oh, and that breakfast is KILLER!

We went and saw the movie US ... I actually enjoyed the story, even though I thought it was suppose to be a scary movie... like a ghost type movie... but it was not. More of a thriller.. had I gone knowing (basically if I actually did better research instead of assuming) that, I would of gave it two thumbs up on originality and nailing the thriller aspect. Nice little twist I wasn’t expecting and didn’t see coming. Which was surprising as I typically figure the twists out or come close before the movie ends..
(which irritates me as I’m one who wants to live the movie frame by frame and let the director carry me through the story... but usually I get bored and end up figuring them out.)

Anyway, I liked the movie. I just wish I went in knowing the type of movie I was going to see. So I left the movie at first a little disappointed.. but after later reflecting on it all, I give it my two thumbs and will definitely be going to this directors next movie coming out in April. Another thriller that looks like it’s going to be sick AF lol...

The writer did a great job on the story and even though the acting was a little on the green side, the cast will definitely be A list contenders down the road as they gain more experience.

The forecast called for clouds and chance of rain... I said screw it and went for it anyway and I scored big time... Hit up the gorge and was rewarded with a bomb ass sunrise... there was all kinds of wildlife out today.. so many elk. I’ve never come across so many in one day before... according to my device I took in just about 9 miles round trip.. that elevation change though... good lawdy... I was huffin and puffin and probably scared away any near by bears... I need to definitely work on that. I’m pretty sure the tren isn’t helping out in that department.. I hope anyway.

I’m recharged and ready for the week. Let’s do this!

Starting to run out of all my vitamins... going to just take everything I have left and will have to rebuild them up later... it’s too expensive right now to be spending $500+ a month in vitamins and I’m close enough to my break that I should be fine to run it all down..

Today was an alright day. I was a little bit of a sourpuss at the beginning of the day.. but seemed to snap out of it along the way. It was a nice and physical day. Got through it and then home to get ready to hit the gym... I was definitely a bit heavy on calories today, but feel I more than adequately covered the spread between the gym and work... but still a little disappointed I didn’t eat less...

Can’t wait for those elbow wraps to show up though... I’m just at that point in this game I guess...

The 80’s still feel heavy AF... but I got my solid rep in twice in a row... this bastard isn’t going to give me my goal very easy that’s for damn sure... I felt super strong with the 70’s though. Clean and solid slow reps... I’m going to transition to more tricep work though. Maybe add one full additional day just for them maybe? I look at everyone else’s and just say wtf... I have nothing.. can’t see anything there... I can feel the makings of each section... but that’s it.. no horseshoe, no bulging, just a delt with a slide underneath to the elbow... so since my biceps are kind of stuck and I’m not bulking anyway, I’ll just move some things around and put more volume and concentration back there for a while.. to help move things along.. my elbow was interfering big time tonight though... unfortunately... so I had to modify accordingly to try to work around it...

That TNE, Var and cialis and I did my protocol pin preworkout as well... fired on all cylinders that’s for damn sure... my body was pouring out my hydration.. I walked to my car and was steaming... I looked light a fresh turd dropped in a porta potty in the morning, in the middle of winter...

One more dance and the TNE will be gonzo... was definitely a nice experience and it will be in my line up every cycle from here on out. Yessiree

What a day... my muscles in my upper body are just on fire and so fatigued... work is just non stop actual work and it’s really kicking my ass... I’m seriously starting to feel burned dafuq out... I love being physical and active and all... but dang man... there’s a mental side to dealing with my boss and working at this company.. that just makes it not really worth the burnout most days... there’s definitely a balance that needs to be maintained. Maybe it’s time to start hustling my way around and past my boss. He’s a great person and all, but he’s a horrible leader. I can’t deal with it anymore... so I need to get out from underneath him... if it’s with this company or somewhere else, doesn’t really matter to me... but a change is needing to happen.. there needs to be balance.

I was hoping for a more intense workout... at least an equivalent to yesterday.. however, I was exhausted and found it a struggle to get my boxes checked. So I abandoned my list and just did a light workout... definitely a little disappointed in myself. I had plenty of calories to burn... its looking like I’ll have to do legs tomorrow I’m thinking... I’m not kidding when I say that from traps to arms, shoulders to back... just a burning soreness... my works been arms raised above shoulders to push n pull wrenches for 6+straight hours...

Sorry for the Debbie downer style log entry... just one of those days I guess. I get them. Have gotten them. I always bounce back ;0)

Hope everyone’s week is kicking ass!!

Gotta get up early so I’m off to bed

First off, my small chest routine yesterday, destroyed my chest lol... I can’t believe how sore it is!! I don’t understand how I can be this sore off such little volume... I know I’ve said these words before... tripping me out... I can do a full blown chest workout and not even come close to this soreness... no pip from the TNE in each pec pins either!

Second off, I’m testing the waters on legs... even though im wobbling penguin style and the pump was so crazy!! I just went hot n heavy. Low volume... I’m just curious



Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to connect with a long time buddy.. more like my brother indeed... man I sure do miss surfing, hiking, running and just hanging out with him.. makes me grateful to have such a soul in my life. That all I gotta do is pick up the phone to connect... I gotta get better at doing that.. I guess I just kind of realize how isolated I’ve kept myself the past 4 years...

Why bother running TT and FT? As long as you know your gear is good why waste the money? Unless it's curiosity which is understandable.

More part of a deal... run the uncapped versions of the tests, a detailed log and post in the forum end up with total combined $650 store credit

I definitely have zero doubts this gear is properly dosed. The way my body has responded this time around is very different than other times... so now the curiosity part comes in.. as I have ran some really good gear (bloodwork and labwork on the gear staying as much) but not felt my body respond to it like it is doing now... so I’m curious to see what the bloodwork shows.

Today was challenging. I’m ready for the week to be done. I’ll refrain from spitting out negativity about anyone. As it’s apparent my negativity is of my own making. I’m the one with the power to control my feelings and my well being... no one else. To portray it’s anyone else’s fault is complete bullshit and simply smoke in mirrors... so, to try to put blame on anyone else for my current state of mind, isn’t going to fly with me. I need to get an effin handle on me. Leave everyone else alone and out of it.

I did whoop serious ass at work though... demolition... I’m a lover of demolition... it actually takes skill and tactful thinking.. quick strategy, execute, but execute tactfully to maintain safety and order... It really is my happy place lol... Cowboy smash!

My legs are so obliterated... once again lower volume day producing much more soreness... Im baffled and confused... I don’t understand... but while I’m on down time and planning my bulking routines, I’ll definitely be incorporating these types of workouts. Heavier weight of course. My whole body is wrecked so I had no other option than a cardio only day...



Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to have the ability to reach out and connect with my mother. Way too much time goes by. I need to fix that. Like seriously. Seems to be a recurring item I’m seeing coming up for me lately... so I’ll be making my list of those I need to reach out to more regularly and setting up appointments in my phone to do it...

Close the books. Hell week has completed... next weeks going to be a great week. Lots of fun work on the horizon.. hard work but the stuff I enjoy doing... it’ll be like vacation work for work lol...

I went ahead and polished off my shoulders and back. Work destroyed them all day anyway and it was a long one indeed. I needed to wrap that job up though. Thank goodness for the second wind the var provided... not sure I could’ve pulled it off on empty otherwise.

I’m beat.... early wake up for bloods so I’m going to go ahead and call it a night.

Took the day off from everything. Woke up early to get bloodwork done. It’s been raining like crazy. So me n the wife met friends for breakfast. Went food shopping, then Home Depot and picked out flowers to plant in the front yard tomorrow with all the soil and needed tools... Went to the mother in laws to assist her with some things and now chilling inside watching some Walking Dead episodes... we got like 4 or 5 left I believe...

Tomorrow I’ll handle the chores, hit the gym and do everything I was suppose to do today lol. Good day with the wife though.

Great day today!! Perfect mixture of physical work with easy work mixed in... made for a perfect flow. Made for a fun day tbh. If I could work this type of day everyday, I’d love my job lol... multiple job sites, next to the ocean all day.. I got to use my brain to troubleshoot and figure out solutions... my muscles to execute said solutions... a couple hours of physical, few hours of mental, few hours of mindless easiness.. then drive time... had a good day with the boss. He was cool today. I was cool today. It was a good day. Put in a long day and it didn’t even feel like it.

Made it to the gym right in time for gym rush hour... definitely not my favorite time to go... my elbow and that tendon issue really interfered with my routine... but despite that I smashed PR’s on the stand up dumbbell curls. I was super stoked... had I not had that pain, I would’ve murdered them even more... it effected more of my forearms and tricep movements though... hammer curls were brutal... I will have to buy a regular single strap and go that route... the one I bought cradles the elbow and straps across the forearm and bicep.. it was more of a nuisance than a help. So I removed it... so I shortened the routine down. Had no real choice tbh.. I have plenty of rest time coming. I just need to not injure myself in the time between now and then.

This new bloodwork requisition lab I used is quick AF on some items... it’s weird because they don’t wait to send the whole report... they just keep updating the account as it all comes in.. I got blood drawn Saturday morning. Results started coming in Sunday morning... just waiting for the main items so I can post... but interesting findings on my wellness panel...

For the first time in my life I’m low on iron and the results point me in an anemic direction... very odd for me. I am still curious as to the main results of T E and P but, just the blood health section alone points to some of the possible causes of me feeling so tired lately... but I need to see the other results before I can lock and load solid theories and pathways to rectify... regardless I’m adding iron supplements for the next couple weeks to get that back up. I guess I haven’t been off EQ this long before... that EQ, for me, these results wouldn’t even exist. My mch is low.. which won’t do me any good if my bloods not carrying enough oxygen to my muscles... everything ties into the iron though... but I need the final pieces to know that’s it 100% and not just part of it...

I’ll post full report once everything comes in though.

I couldn’t fight the pain any longer... the arm/forearm strap I bought is not the right one... I need a strap strap. Not one that cradles my elbow and forearm at the same time... not making excuses, just trying to not injure myself and still be able to lift.

Great day today!! Perfect mixture of physical work with easy work mixed in... made for a perfect flow. Made for a fun day tbh. If I could work this type of day everyday, I’d love my job lol... multiple job sites, next to the ocean all day.. I got to use my brain to troubleshoot and figure out solutions... my muscles to execute said solutions... a couple hours of physical, few hours of mental, few hours of mindless easiness.. then drive time... had a good day with the boss. He was cool today. I was cool today. It was a good day. Put in a long day and it didn’t even feel like it.

Made it to the gym right in time for gym rush hour... definitely not my favorite time to go... my elbow and that tendon issue really interfered with my routine... but despite that I smashed PR’s on the stand up dumbbell curls. I was super stoked... had I not had that pain, I would’ve murdered them even more... it effected more of my forearms and tricep movements though... hammer curls were brutal... I will have to buy a regular single strap and go that route... the one I bought cradles the elbow and straps across the forearm and bicep.. it was more of a nuisance than a help. So I removed it... so I shortened the routine down. Had no real choice tbh.. I have plenty of rest time coming. I just need to not injure myself in the time between now and then.

This new bloodwork requisition lab I used is quick AF on some items... it’s weird because they don’t wait to send the whole report... they just keep updating the account as it all comes in.. I got blood drawn Saturday morning. Results started coming in Sunday morning... just waiting for the main items so I can post... but interesting findings on my wellness panel...

For the first time in my life I’m low on iron and the results point me in an anemic direction... very odd for me. I am still curious as to the main results of T E and P but, just the blood health section alone points to some of the possible causes of me feeling so tired lately... but I need to see the other results before I can lock and load solid theories and pathways to rectify... regardless I’m adding iron supplements for the next couple weeks to get that back up. I guess I haven’t been off EQ this long before... that EQ, for me, these results wouldn’t even exist. My mch is low.. which won’t do me any good if my bloods not carrying enough oxygen to my muscles... everything ties into the iron though... but I need the final pieces to know that’s it 100% and not just part of it...

I’ll post full report once everything comes in though.


Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to get to be by the ocean today. I forgot how much it had always been my refuge... my escape... for so many years... today I remembered. For that I’m grateful.

The day was epic... the weather was a perfect mix of cool breeze, some humungous clouds, shining sun and just right temps... I just love looking towards the sun and closing my eyes and just kind of breath in and enjoy the warmth in my face... the fresh clean air... it was a bummer to have to go inside to work... But! Another solid day of some physical work mixed in with some inspections and easy work.. a few repair items and quite a bit of interactions with new clients... I feel right at home with this type of stuff for sure!

Got home, handled my blood draw for surgery doc, hit the gym for some chest after... Popped my pre-workout regiment and by the time I was warming up, it was kicking in... little agony behind the rear delt and that tendon. But I don’t go heavy on chest (yet) so I was able to deal with it and work through it. The pump seemed a bit more intense today. I was definitely laser focused on my movements. Keeping it slow and deliberate. I had to fight to get through the cables.. I reached muscle fatigue on a whole new level. Felt fantastic.

Hit up my shower, grabbed a snack and headed out for my well deserved and anticipated massage... man she gets it. Hands down the best therapist on the planet... I don’t even need to say what or where. She zeros in on all the trouble spots just by simply brushing past them... then she pounces and goes to work on destroying the issues... I’m literally foggy brained walking out of there and on a cloud of euphoria... when I’m running my own show again, I’ll be getting everyone due to be sitting at the negotiation table, massaged before hand... then I’ll slaughter them at the negotiations.. they’ll succumb to my every demand lol

Everything’s in on the bloodwork except free and total test... figures lol
Such a different experience getting items piece mailed to my email lol.. but their prices were spot on so I’ll deal with it...

Hope everyone had an amazing day today!

I’m glad the week has been going like it has. Provided perfect amount of energy to be dispersed when needed and reserves when really needed... like today... tomorrow, will be brutal. But I’m ready.

My massage yesterday pretty much destroyed my whole left side of my upper body lol... so I had to bio-freeze up before hitting the gym...

Back day today. Felt great. Felt motivated. Went in with a game plan, but changed it all up. My routine is officially stagnant.. I will use my upcoming down time to re-group and design new routines to go into when I’m able to start back up... again though, I had a good time tonight. Had fun. Nice and mellow, slow and controlled. Laser focused. I gave more concentration to my movements. Really felt the muscles engage, stretch, contract, full full of blood... I’m really enjoying the Mast/Tren combo... the var still providing all day long vein popping pumps...


Daily gratitude item:
Grateful to continue to grow internally. I’m a work in progress. I strive for progress and not perfection. My choices on how I’m responding to situations has been improving and I continue to strive for even further progression each day. I like who I’ve become and continue to grow to be. I like the man in the mirror today. Today I’m proud of me. I’ve come a very very long way from that extremely violent, hate filled and vicious man of my youth...

I was a monster at work today... strength galore. Wind within my sails all day. Unlimited stamina. Zero fatigue. I was up and down ladders all day.. pushing and pulling wrenches. Carrying big ass lengths of pipe, lifting them into place, holding them while securing them into the air with the other lengths... small breaks, tons of sweat, lots of water, hydration packets... a minimum of 8 hours physical.. 2 hours not... I annihilated the day. Destroyed the job in a day and left tomorrow open to go wrap up a different job I’ve had on the back burner... today I felt like a beast.

Just enjoyed an easy 45min cardio sesh at the gym... I want a fresh go at legs.. so I didn’t push my body any more today.



Daily gratitude item:
Grateful for the life I have today. That I’m not some unhappy and sloppy body guy anymore. The hard work over the past year and half, the commitment, the dedication... I keep proving to myself I am good enough. I am driven enough. I am hungry enough to be different than what I was. What I’m coming from. I have what it takes. My quality of life improves daily. Mentally and physically. I have a good life. I’m finally starting to see it. To know it.
