Yeah this is always a good workout to do on Saturday before I go out and mow the grass shirtless. Make all the housewives in the neighborhood swoon looking out their front windows haha

It feels like maybe my squat is trending back up to where it had been. These felt pretty good tonight, though I can pretty consistently feel myself get a little too far forward with the bar coming out of the bottom; I need to work on that. It’s time to switch back to sets of 5, now, and build up with a little more volume.

Bench press felt pretty damn good tonight. Moving back to sets of 5 for a while; it feels like we may be making progress. I think progress for me right now looks more like raising the floor, versus raising the ceiling. The strict presses also felt really good tonight. They felt easier than last week, at the same weight (or a little more). I’ll call that progress.

It’s a low volume week. Squats started off feeling terrible, but felt really good by the top set. I probably should have gone heavier. Good stuff. I still don’t like training, but I kind of like squats.

Moving kind of slow today. I had to wear a mosquito net over my head, as the bugs in the woods are pretty bad right now and I can’t keep them off my face/head.

I did this workout fasted and in the morning again. A lot of my workouts might be that way this week. My wife and I are looking after a local families farm while they’re away on vacation, so my schedule will be all messed up. I need to be there to do the feeding in the morning, and the feeding/milking in the evening. Luckily, the milking is just one goat, so it only needs done once a day.

Gratuitous annual birthday pics. I’m 45 today. I’m not as lean as I was last summer, but I have added some good weight in some good places, I think. (6’4" 225 lb)

Definitely didn’t forget that part, my hips remind me every time I move! I just didn’t want to highlight it; I’m trying to give everyone hope…

I had actually quoted @throwawayfitness when I said this but the system blanked it out. First time that has ever happened.
All jokes aside, you look great!
