Whoever invented this “consistency” thing should have made it less annoying

Weekly weight update.
Last week: 275.4
This week: 272.4
Diff: -3.0
Had far fewer binges, more good meals, and much less drinking. Good start, still doing pretty heavy snacking but we can gradually reduce that while introducing more good meals. On that note, I made a delicious cheesecake last night, so the reduction is going to be very gradual
Back is getting better at a decent pace, walking for long distances is annoying but most everything else that doesn’t specifically stress it is fine.
Saturday: Arms (3 triceps, 3 biceps)
Sunday: Legs (2 hams, 1 leg press, 1 quad)
I’ll start logging again once fully healthy so i can keep track of progress.

Hit some back, kind of as a test to see how i was doing 5 days out from the tweak. Definitely not 100% but moving forward. Shoulder is also still not quite 100% but is getting quite close.
Wide pulldown: 140 3 x 8
Straight pulldown: 50 3 x 10
Facepulls: 50 3 x 15
Cable row pronated medium: 140 3 x 12
Cable row neutral wide: 140 2 x 10, 1 x 15
Abs: 20, 15, 15
Back felt a little flared up after that but haven’t had to take any painkillers to get it under control, so think that’s probably a win. Getting to the point where 1 or 2 doses gets me through the day instead of counting down until i got my next dose.

Did some shoulders and triceps today, body isn’t quite 100% but left shoulder held up well to a relatively intense day and my back is getting close (avoided overhead to not have to worry about compression issues). Solid enough session, still missing a few pieces but getting slowly back which is unfortunately timed with having to go home from tonight - sunday.
Weight will be interesting monday haha

Surprised I kept it together while home, that was yesterday’s weigh in, was a decent bit lighter today but that doesn’t count.
Chest/tri
Incline machine press: 180 3 x 8
Weighted crunch: 120 3 x 10
Tri rope pulldown: 50 15, 15 (10,5), 15 (9,3,3)

First real chest session in a few months, left shoulder is almost there, think the movement is probably good for it. Back held up well for this and golfing over the weekend. Should have some time to build momentum and get some muscle on me now

Weekly weight update, a day late like last week
Last Week: 271.8
This Week: 269.4
Diff: -2.4
Didn’t think I’d lose that much, weighed myself only once over the last 3 days so the drop was a surprise and i didn’t accurately recall my weight from the week before. Good news, in any case, will keep doing what i’m doing until it doesn’t work then I’ll call in @QuadQueen lol

Alright, so haven’t updated for a week and honestly don’t remember what I’ve done.
Think I lifted Friday and Saturday. Drove 7+ hours on Sunday to get to a funeral then drove the same to get back late Monday. Took yesterday off.
Weighed in at 269.0, which is a drop of 0.4, all things considered i’m happy with that.
Imagine I’ll drop a bit of bloat and can pick up the pace a bit this week but also am somewhat apathetic to the whole idea at the moment.
Today:
Assisted pullups: 5, 3 x 8
Back extension: bw x 8, 25 3 x 8
Machine abs: 3 x 8, 1 x 15
Seated cable curl: 55 3 x 10
Seated supinated row: 120, 140 x 10
Ez curl: 40 x 10, 60 x 10, 40 x 21
DB row: 70 2 x 10
Absolutely no motivation to do that but did something, hopefully in a few days things will normalize and i’ll be able to actually try again.

So still not doing anything with much structure, think I lifted 5 of the previous 6 days. Had a few good sessions but most are just hitting a muscle group a few times and going home or doing a bit of cardio. Seems to be working well enough, not going to change too much until I have more energy (seems to be coming back) or stop progressing (mostly visually, not tracking numbers on most lifts).
Weight yesterday morning was 267.2 for a drop of 1.8. Surprised it was that low but we will take it.
Exhausted from basketball last night which made it 5/6 days of lifting + one day of basketball. So today is an off day but will likely hit chest/tris tomorrow and do some cardio.

Rdl was pretty heavy, felt solid though. Decently hard effort on the bigger movements and solid pump in the quads at the end.
Probably will lift tomorrow but don’t know what yet. Shoulders?

Weak little back/bi workout this morning, basketball tonight.
Standing chest supported row, SA: 125 3 x 8
Lat pulldown, wide: 130 2 x 10
Seated incline curls: 25 3 x 8
DB rows: 60, 80 x 10
Pinwheel curls: 25 2 x 8
Need to start laying my back work out in advance to some degree, feels like there are a decent amount of days where back is given a lackadaisical effort.
