Hey man!

Life’s been hectic. In a good way. Still training, but it’s certainly not as systematic as years back. Family, career and investments have really leaped ahead of all the time I used to center around fitness.

I wish I had always known how little time is actually needed as long as effort is high.

Training is now one upper, one lower and a couple 30 min capped interval sessions including body weight movements and a treadmill.

Training economy 101.

Hope you guys have been well. Will catch up in your logs.

Been good my man, have been focusing on better utilizing time. Had to sacrifice here. Hope you’ve been well. Will take some time to catch up on the regs soon.

Good luck! :laughing: I know things can get chatty in my log and the post count can run up in a hurry.

I’ll save you some time for me:

  • About the time you quit posting is when I realized that I had moderate to severe depression and started seeking help.
  • I’m trying to switch careers and become a PE teacher.
  • My wife is currently growing our third child and we’ll be back to diaper changing in November.
  • For training, I’ve been running 5/3/1 and being pretty minimal. 45 minutes is about as much as I can mentally give to training. My goals (in order) are maintenance, bigger delts, and strength. I’m sure you’re thinking that’s odd but maintenance is bare minimum and the next two are bonuses if I have the time.

Hope you and your family are doing well!

Good to hear you are well and still getting some training into your busy life.
Since you were around last,

  • I trained for a powerlifting comp which kept getting delayed because of covid,
  • I got stronger, I then got injured and didn’t compete,
  • work then got very stressful and life was a bit crap for a while,
  • training was mostly recovery and with all the other stuff going on I lost 5kg.
  • Then I changed jobs and life started to improve again. \
  • Injury has sorted itself out and I am getting stronger again.
