110 lbs x 5

200 lbs x 5
230 lbs x 20 - Rep PR

A month ago I pulled 220 lbs x 18.

I was done after that.

422

I had my Testosterone measured.

It seems my doc was reluctant to run the tests.

I asked several times that it was checked on the blood draw for my liver function tests from the meds for the TIA last year.

They still forgot to do it.

Went back in for another draw.

Results :

Free T 6.5 pg/ml

Total T 238 ng/dl

Doc said theyā€™re fine.

Iā€™m thinking theyā€™re really low.

I had anticipated hitting 15 on the last set. :frowning:

In retrospect I think I had the bar too high on my shoulders.

425

Won the last game of the winter hockey season, securing the #1 position in this level of the league.

Playoffs start next weekend.

426

Busy with surviving the playoffs and trying to not get injured in the process.

Already had one impact head first into the boards thanks to a cheap shot.

Team was happy I didnā€™t go after the guy.

427

Wellā€¦

Out of the playoffs.

Last game ended in a 1-1 tie, lost in the shootout.

Then the goalie from the other team went on Facebook and bragged he sweep a goal out of the net before the ref could call it.

I seem to have a bruised rib from a cheap shot that put me into the boards pretty hard.

Tried doing deadlifts and did ok till I went past 225. Then I tried one pull and was done.

Iā€™ll take a few days off and see if the pain subsides.

428

Rib pain is better. Just slight soreness on a deep inhale.

Did my hockey skills camp and a hour of pickup hockey after that.

Why I work at getting betterā€¦

429

I was at a nasty fight the other day, and suddenly a hockey game broke out.

430

Hey, I didnā€™t know you were logging on the regular again! Cool beans yo!

431

Restarted 531

Had my body composition measured yesterday. Since last February:

Dropped 14 lbs of body fat
Added 7 lbs of skeletal muscle

And my body weight has remained the sameā€¦

432

Catching up on training logs.

My Cycle 4 of 531 fizzled in week 3 due to the amount of playoff hockey games I was in and injuries.

So I restarted it. Currently in week 2

No. Actually they are rare here.

Then they already have boyfriendā€™s, think Iā€™m too old, etc.

Then they freak on the number of kids I have.

So itā€™s slim pickings.

Can you please export some puck bunnies?
