I'm still waiting for that to kick in, LOL. But happy birthday SkRaw85!

Sorry for your loss. Losing both parents has got to be hard. Glad to hear your nutrition/training is still going though and for people like us, sometimes the routine is what gets us through because of consistency, focus, and our version of "normalcy".

Catching up, but I heard 525# for rack pulls (my back hurt just thinking about it) and something about looking forward to 4 dicks?! [emoji38]

305 is my current DL PR, which was pulled mixed grip. I think realistically for a 1 rep max pull every 4 weeks or so, this general weight might be OK. But pulling week in and week out, I just might not be ready yet. I'm thinking I may have to adjust my expectations again - and narrow my focus...

Bench Day Warm up was a lot of lower back stretches, foam rolling, cat backs, bird Dogs, chest stretches, curl ups, etc. Bench Press: Warm ups, 95x10 135x8 165x6 185x3 - felt easy. Working sets, 195x3 - last rep was barely there. 195x1 Slingshot assist: 205x4 Unassisted burnout reps...

TL;DR: A little good, a little bad. Just placed a massive reorder for some of @sns8778 products: PEA relief, CardioXT, LiverXT, TUDCA, ECA stack... along with some other staples, some bars/protein snacks, Vit C, Greens powder, etc. Deadlifts Foam rolling/stretching Bird Dogs x 10,5,3 Warm...

Yeah, it's pretty good and I've worked it into my routine. Not a true MRP or gainer IMO, more a protein shake with some clean carbs. Taste is decent, but mixes up super thick. If I use a spoon, I have to add the scoop in parts otherwise it just gets too clumpy. But in a shaker cup you're golden.

All in all, pretty good. Even though it was my right side that spasmed, it's actually been my left side that's been bugging me. Took a vacation day today and went to get a massage to work on it a bit. Knee is actually feeling OK and I'm wondering if adding back in LISS cardio just to keep things...

Hotel gym was way too small for the number of people... everyone jockeying for space and DBs/equipment. Started out with 20 mins on the bike, plus a 2 min cool down: 4.20 miles, 125 cals. Then moved into a high rep, pump session for shoulders & arms. Mainly 3 sets of 12-15 rep scheme. Looked...

Also wondering if it's a double-edged sword? Sleep lately has been dogsh!t. Like last night I was WIDE awake trying to go to sleep. Of course my son woke up yelling my name at 2 AM again, so another night interrupted. And then the remainder of the night I was tossing and turning. Granted, I've...

Well, you're making some great progress already. You started looking at squats in the 240 range and have already hit 275. So muscle memory is definitely coming back! Congrats on the kiddos birthday! Hope you had a great time with it. I may also need to dial back the number of days I'm in the...

Well, didn't end up working out since the last time I checked in. Been super tired lately, whole body has just been feeling tight, and have opted to just sleep in most mornings. Been using heat and massager to try to work and loosen the muscles. Staying busy though - went for a brisk mile walk...

Count me in. A brewery / gym combo sounds pretty sweet. I mean, after all beer muscles are a thing! But for real, I could see running/owning/working in a brewery...

^ this. You always seem to have a positive mental approach even with these situations. We can all take a page here!

Thanks, yeah, I'm hoping this back spasm doesn't set me too far back. Feel generally OK, it was quick and didn't really linger. But of course it raises the dilemma of do I work out tomorrow or give it a rest? Tomorrow of course is back day too. I think I'm leaning towards still going for it...

Checking in on you @BOSSMAN everything still good?

Well, didn't get a WO in yesterday. Took the day off since my daughter's school was closed and we just had a lot planned. Plus, I was up again with my son before morning. Sleep lately is seemingly really needed as I'm having a hard time getting up with my alarms. Also, may have done something...
