Wango back at the grind

[wango]

Covid-19 and 2020 have not been good. Not expecting miraculous turn-arounds in 2021, but screw it, let’s get back to business and go charging into the new year, full steam ahead.

Doing anywhere from a 4 day push-pull type of a split or blending into a 6 day routine focused on one body part. Each with abs/core & cardio. This is for fun, it will be disciplined, but not going crazy on specifics.

No cycle yet, pretty much just TRT.

Have a solid week in the books.

Today:
Machine bicep curls - 3 working sets with the the last 2 each having a drop set.
Cable bicep curls - same.
Reverse curls - 4 working sets.
Hammer curls - 4 working sets.

Abs & 20 minute Treadmill.

Back to dedicated meal prep. Lots of egg whites, chicken, fish, veggies, salads. I do better on low carbs; minimal rice and pasta, generally pre-workout.

[wango]

Meal prep is my killer. Well, and that appetite of mine.

I haven't had a dedicated arm day in... maybe EVER.

I’m not a great meal prepper because I get bored with certain foods. But, will endure it for a bit.

Love my arm days because of the pump. It’s the simple pleasures in life that get us through.

Nice salad tonight, no snacks - winner, winner!

[wango]

Took a couple of long walks with the wife over the weekend.

I'm guessing gyms are open in your area?

Yes & thank heavens. I lost a lot of ground these past months. Yours?

We went to purple- the worst and gyms can only be open outside starting Saturday. ..... except my gym. LOL- they are essential for Charger.
My belt squat machine was shipped and I hope to have all the walls framed by Sunday.

Back and abs.

Ordered some resistance bands & attachments for home. It’s like GOT, winter is coming and it ain’t going to be good.

You have flu season and the common cold which will be confused with COVID.

Early morning fasted hike, then abs.

Egg whites, veggies & coffee.

Nice start to the weekend.

[charger69]

Just got my belt squat machine from Rogue. Now I need to finish constructing the walls to my gym.
Then, I need to buy weights. LOL

[wango]

Bands and attachments slowly arriving, but should be all here tonight. DB’s are ridiculously priced.

Long hike only today.

May add small dosage of clen & T-3. Almost a necessity as my wife has been cooking up a storm & I can’t say no to her grub; it’s too damn good.

Scallops and spaghetti squash tonight.

[Test Monsterone]

They are, I think, but I haven't been in probably a year. That's okay, because maybe a year before Covid-19, I started working from home and buying gym equipment. Bits and pieces here and there, like a squat rack, barbell, weights and a used rowing machine. We had a climber and a treadmill already, so it is actually a pretty cool setup.

The only things I miss are the sauna, lap pool and of course the people. But this too shall pass.

Are you gonna go back once this virus is gone? I don't know if I'll go back since I put my gym together.

[wango]

Yeah, these worked just fine!

Do you have sexy ass in spandex at home? I don't...

[Test Monsterone]

Do you have sexy ass in spandex at home? I don't...

Hmm didn’t think of that. You may have a point.

[wango]

Scallops? Cause those look damn tasty if so!

Yup, they sear up nicely on a hot grill.

[wango]

Darn it, day off; wife had car issues.

Bands & attachments all in. Good timing, sounds like tough times ahead.

Thinking gym will happen in May . . . .

[wango]

150 pounds on the upper attachment.

4x15 each

Face pulls
Rows
Rear Flyes

Cardio (hike x30)

[wango]

150 more pounds on lower attachment.

4x15
Narrow curls SS with reverse curls (15 second break beaten SS)
Wide curls SS with rope hammer curls (same break)

SS decline press with upright rows (same break 4x15)

No cardio today. Might buy another set of 150, a hell of a lot cheaper than DBs.

Nice pump, a little soreness.

Maybe this ain’t so bad. It took me the driving time to my gym, plus zero miles on my car.

Was good with a salad w/salmon last night, maybe something a bit more “caloric” this evening.

[wango]

Decline Press SS with Biceps Curls 4x15

Making this work. Thinking Covid till Summer, so no gym. And masks into 2022. Working out like this, alone & in the sun, hell yeah. I smell a steak grilling in the evening

[wango]

Morning walk/cardio complete, bands later.

Last night’s dinner (actually a little overcooked )

Beautiful day for a long walk. Followed by biceps.

Got an email from our gym saying they are dedicated to stay open despite climbing numbers. The bands are nice, but I do miss the iron; might change my mind.

One of our back yard regulars thinking I might keel over and make for a super nice thanksgiving feast for his family.

[wango]

Back to the gym.

Warmup set or sets then 4 x 10-12 WS for all:

Chest
Pec Deck
Chest press Machine
Close grip bench

Delts
Hammer shoulder Press
Bent over flies
Upright rows

More crowded today due to obvious reasons, far less social distancing. Always my feisty self, had to remind a couple guys working next to me to pull their masks up. Come on you are the only two in the entire place ffs.

Ate real clean yesterday so compensated today at lunch. No Mayo or cheese however

Come on Wango, loosen up! I have been going to gym before the first opening of the gyms. Crowded as hell, no one wearing a mask and no one got Covid.
I know I am not going to change your mind, but I am hoping for reason. LOL
You know I like to pick on you.

Oh yeah, sore as hell and feeling it. Maybe a long recovery walk, but today is devoted to rest and football. Also thinking a trip to guitar center to take advantage of their sales.

Clen comes in 20 mg? I don’t think you are quartering the small pills.
