    Wango back at the grind

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 . . . .

    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.

    Giant sets 4x15-20

    Upright Rows
    Bicep Curls
    Rope Pushdowns
    Overhead Triceps Extension

    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.

    Kind of a day off, longish walk only. Hanging with my wife. My favorite new past time is watching her prep and cook dinner.

    I’m the king of doing dishes however; mad skills in that department.

    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.

    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

    Triceps
    Machine dips
    SS rope pressdowns with overhead extensions

    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.

    Gym less crowded this morning, better social distancing. Warm up sets as needed then 4x10 WS each.

    Back
    Low Hammer Rows
    Standard Machine Rows
    Lat Pull Downs
    Shrugs
    Face Pulls

    Biceps
    Machine curls
    Low cable curls
    Reverse curls
    SS wrist curls/extension

    Abs 4x25

    Life definitely brighter when there is a gym. Just miss my seated lateral raise machine for delts, one of my favorite machines.

    Starting a “how low can you go” cycle
    Var 5 mg. 2/x day
    Clen 10 mg. 1x/day
    Test 75 mg. 2x/wk.
    HGH 1 iu / day

    Will add t3 in a week.

    Shooting for 8 weeks, interested to monitor changes & then BW with this. Might switch to low dose tren 9th wk. along with mast for another 8 weeks.

    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.
