lol! I only just now got the good opportunity on lunch of entering all this crap. Just got internet two days ago or so, so I haven’t quite gotten fully back on 'nation yet, but I will soon! And hahaha… no, no Occupy Denver. I’m to understand that got broken up or w/e. Buncha whiners I figure.
Okay, so this will be a formal true update in my life since it’s basically only been lifting logs and stuff to this point.
First, life is amazing. Good things are happening here for me. Great job, great roommates, great city, gym, etc. The girls aren’t too shabby either. 
Since I’ve been able to kind of get my feet underneath of me, I have started dieting pretty hard and well over the last two weeks. I’m going to be getting all ALRI things to help me out, and I have heard that cjc/g6 are valuable tools, as well as clen obviously. I, of course, will NOT be using/purchasing/procuring any of the three previously mentioned chemicals, but I figured I should note it. Ahem.
Day is pretty similar to this most days, and this will change as my resources/dieting tools start to come to fruition (I’m really low on stuff right now.)
5:30 am - Wake
6:15ish - 1 YellowHaze (fat burner)
ALL MORNING - Work on gallon of water
Approx 12:30 pm - 90 g protein shake / 8 oz meat + 1-2 oz almonds, fish oil, vitamins
4:45ish - Back from work, pre-meal. Usually 60-90 g protein shake + 1/2-1 cup oats
Post-workout (7-8ish) - 1 package of Pop-Tarts
+45-60 minutes PWO - usually 8 oz meat (cooked in VCO) and 1 cup brown rice or so
In just under two weeks I’m somewhere around 10 pounds lighter or so. Weight is around 232-233 today. Goal is as much as possible by New Years’, and to attain somewhere between 200-210 as quickly as possible.
So, yeah, not bad. I LOVE “grind” schedules, I know not everyone does. I like having the consistency and reliability.
The weekends have been crazy. Climbing mountains, drinking, Broncos games, all sorts of shit. I have never been so consistently busy and active in my life.
And, uh, besides that…? Go Packers?
that’s great that you’re enjoying life again bruh. this is a total 180* from SSC of a month or two ago that was hatin life. now you’re lovin it and that will hopefully carry over positively in the gym! lol and it’s very easy to root for your Packers at the mo =p
I noticed you always have this thing with your back screwing up your lifts, y u no do GM’s or some similar assistance work to bring it up to par? or is that stuff still a no-go because of your back?
Lol, I was going to say “sounds like menopause” about your hot/cold/whiny post but I’m a little late. Interesting stuff, keep us posted on the cut and how all those chemicals that you’re not taking are not treating you. Sorry for saying this, but if I was eating that little I would be very, very sad

Lol… yes, yes it is man. I can definitely feel things carrying over from the gym. General mood, happiness, libido, confidence, what have you. It’s all good. (for now) 8)
I do actually really like good mornings and assistance work. My issue is that it quite literally just has nothing to do with muscles and what have you, it’s just old-fashioned bone bruising. Ends up being more of a lower back fuck-up waiting to happen than anything else.

Well hardy-har-har, lol. I will definitely keep things updated. I snapped a few pics that are TERRIBLE, but I promise they’ll get better as I get leaner because I’ll probably be getting a camera.
Meh on the food. It does really suck but I’d rather have a hellish two months than a long and dragged out process. This place makes me step my game up.
And, er, yeah. It would be terrible to flirt with a gray line. :S

I’ve definitely gotten much more acclimated to it at this point. It’s still really difficult to catch my breath after big leg sets (etc) but it’s coming along nicely.
It doesn’t hurt to be 12 pounds down in 12 days, and still hitting PRs. 8)
/fuckingcoolbro
Not a totally training-related post, but it is semi-relevant.
Weight is effing POURING off of me right now. In 13 official days of dieting I’ve lost like 14 pounds now. Not losing strength, only looking better, and really keeping the supplement/use of extras to a minimum right now. What’s really nice is by the time I get some money again I’ll be able to throw down for some good supps, and my body will be primed and ready. I even went out last night, got super shitty and made some horrible decisions and lost like 3 pounds from yesterday’s weigh-in… lolz. Probably dehydration.
I’m eating really good foods again - (Jenni O) ground turkey (worst thing I eat, lol,) quinoa and brown rice, oats, ezekiel bread and pasture butter, almonds. Nomnomnom. When I’m doing re-feeds/carb-ups, other than drinking I’m keeping the carb sources extremely healthy throughout.
Finally, I’m probably getting a tattoo within a month or so. It’s going to be the start of a half-sleeve. What I’m getting now is three “bands,” if you will, draped across the transition point between the upper/lower arm and around the brachi or so. NOTHING like a tribal band or any of that. The first band is going to be small, and have 30 “notches” on it. The second one will be bigger, and have a different design with 50 notches on it. The last one, which will likely end up really close to or on the insertion point for my bicep, will be the biggest, with a different design and 70 notches.
What all the “notches” represent are the pounds I lost through the 3 main periods of my life that I lost weight. I like it because it’s different than anything I’ve ever seen, very technical, my own creation, and it has a story but not one that can be figured out without direct questioning. And… it’s only the beginning!
I hope too see some progress pics soon. What’s your weight looking like now? Training looks really good, just curious what a “HS Weird OHP Machine” is. lol

I will have pictures posted by New Years’, whether I reach my goal or not. I have some right now but they’re truly not worth putting up, haha. That and my cell phone has a garbage ass camera on it. Boo.
Lol @ the machine, not a very good description, haha. I use to use this HS OHP machine that was a lot more vertical than this one. This one leans back a ways, but still moves in an overhead-plane. It’s definitely a lot harder than the other one, though, as I’m using ~50lbs less on it, give or take.
