CHEAT DAY!! So training twice and running errands all day means if there is a day to eat some trash with little repercussions it’s today. Still running errands but will update later with junk food porn.
Excessive Calories Mexico just changed their labeling laws so now everything says “Excessive Calories” instead of the actual number of calories in the package (which I greatly prefer). It was explained to me that some people dont understand the numbers so this new label is more effective. I am not sure I fully believe that but I totally believe that certain classes need to be emphasized like we emphasize Algebra (which is important). Bring back home-ec class but I would break it down into several different classes and really teach the shit out of that shit. Also wood working and other stuff teaching kids to physically work with their hands. Video games arent terrible at teaching problem solving and hand eye coordination but it isnt the same. Either way got a bit off track there. Lets see the JUNK!!!
Workout #1: Boobies
Bench Cardio Mountain
10s at 45-135-185-225-255
7 at 275
4s at 295-315
Dum OHP
13 at 75
Cable Fly
Intermission Spent about 3 hours going to 4 different grocery stores (because idk) getting stuff for my Wife’s side hustle. She has been cooking meals on holidays and kicking ass at it. If you are in Torreon (Mexico) and want a home delivered meal slide in my DMs.
Workout #2: Back
Uni CS Row
Uni Lat Pulldown
Cable Row
Lateral Raises
Both workouts went pretty well. 2nd one was fueled purely by the day dreams of junk food.
Wifey while driving: Call somebody at home to make sure we dont forget anything
Me: Mkay
Senor: Bueno (hello)
Me: Necesitas una Mujer (I need a woman in reference to either my little sis or mother in law)
Senor: MUJER! (WOMAN!)
Me:
He does this to me a lot, I should have learned by now.
Anywho… Diet is over, I have gone full Peggy mode (except Peggy stayed thin) and my Wife is Al Bundy giving me all the Bon Bons. Pretty sure she is trying to fatten me up before Vegas so no other women look at me. Jokes on her, she is literally the only person on this planet that thinks I am attractive. Well her and my buddy Luis Mario. He’s always good for a boost to my self esteem.
Vegas Now that all the plane tickets are bought (again #fkaeromexico). The plan in Vegas is I found a really good gym a 10 minute bike ride from the AirBNB so I will do that 4-5 times a week. Then with all the walking between casinos I actually think I will stay in some kind of shape better than the Stay Pufft Marshmallow. Meal plan is sandwiches because they travel well with the occasional comped meal. Breakfast is the normal egg based meal. When I return to Mexico after 2-6 weeks I have a stash of gear to polish off before heading to the USA permanently. When I come back I doubt I will play poker hardly at all so just focus on getting fkn peeled.
TRT I am hoping that somebody asks if I want to buy gear while I am there to avoid the awkward cold approach to a juiced AF trainer “hey, is there a TRT clinic or something similar around here?” For the record Vegas does have a TRT clinics but the cost would be 10x what a vial of test would be after tests, consultations and time spent.
Okay, Happy Sunday!!!, no sports, I mean soccer but is that really a sport? (LOL JKing entire planet) but the local team doesnt play until 7pm so I am Netflixing all day while Wifey cooks her arse off for Vday dinners. Full Peggy mode.
Yea just had to get my ass off the couch. No gym this week.
Chorizo Burgers No idea how I lived in Mexico for 10 years and this is the first time I thought to mix chorizo into my burgers. It adds some fun to it.
Go give her a like follow or some encouragement or what not. Once I figure out how to repost from this phone I am going to do that.
About her name…in Mexico people dont change their last name when they get married. It was weird but also it wasnt a big deal either. She went with Kemperman for her last name as a coach though which is pretty cool of her.
No training today as its 5’oclock Friday somewhere and Lovecraft got her claws into me. Its some weird shit so far so right up my alley.
VEGAS BABY!!!
Ok last piece is in place, had them shove a cue tip into my brain and I am Rona Negative so thats cool. Time to start packing. Taking some lifting equipment but minimalist for a PLer.
Havent been training this week because life and laziness. I am excited to get back to it though…next week obv.
Lovecraft Country The first 2 minutes I was all HELL FKN YEA!!! Then Atticus woke up. By the end of Episode 2 I was hooked again. To describe the show giving nothing away “Harry Potter (Atticus) and Django (Leti) do some Indiana Jones shit (fighting Nazis and searching for old magical stuff)” I actually dont know if I want a 2nd season just because of how perfect the 1st one was. I would of course binge watch it.
Lucy Pretty cool movie.
Snowpiercer Finally got around to starting that and its pretty good. I wasnt sure being trapped on a train would be that entertaining, it is.
Pokers For about 2 weeks I have been tracking the live games seeing where what happens and when. I have a solid plan. This should be fun. Since nothing really runs before Noon local time that also gives me a ton of time to get to the gym and meal prep etc each day. I will need to greatly adjust my internal clock though as the plan is to be playing until about Midnight every day and I am usually sleeping 8-4ish. Which in Vegas that is actually 6 to 2ish.
Training No idea, not true, some idea. It depends on the equipment of the gym.
Upper
Dum Press
5s w/ 50-100-125-150
Uni CS Row
Barbell OHP 3X10 w 95
Uni Lat down
Gym is amazing, great new equipment.
It’s been a nuts last couple days trying to travel etc. Probably gonna tell that craziness tomorrow. Right now I am fkn hungry and have to catch a bus.
Lower
Pause Squat to 405
Sleds til jelly legs
Hamstring Curls
Solid workout. Writing this on a wait-list because still super busy running errands but those should be done after tomorrow and I should have some free time.
Poker week 1 went very well. Actual winrate was about as expected and my rake back and bonus chasing far exceeded expectations but isn’t repeatable. My winrate should be better this week though.
Planet Hollywood games are insane but only run weekends. Rest of the games even the regs are pretty exploitable. I have only encountered one “sicko”. Nice lady but shark AF. Watched her flirt 1k off this guy at a 1-3 table (300 max buy in). It was actually funny to watch because he was super annoying. Her skill would have gotten it eventually anyways but her flirting and having a shot with him exponentially sped up the process. He bought the shot, obviously. Luckily I am immune AF to those charms.
Natty AF Gym weight in a hoodie was 98.1kg which means I am waking up probably under 97kg. I’m not that lean. I am wasting away.
Pretty half assed workout this morning but all I can think about is grinding. Pretty excited i don’t have to take food with me today as I have a free Gordon Ramsay burger and should get 2 sammiches from Ballys. LFG!!!
The half assed make up for a week of no training in one workout but not really because that’s not how it works Workout
Incline press machine
Pulling machine
Triceps Rope X
EZ Bar Curl
Skipped Leg Machines
Skipped Sleds
Lol something is better than nothing.
Work been shit this week. Had an abnormal number of all ins and got crushed in all of them. Games are good though and rake back should get us even on the week.
Just for fun (my hand 1st)…
JJ vs 43s all in preflop WON
A9o vs AKo vs KQo all in preflop (def spazz by me but weird spot) LOST
AA vs KJo all in on K54 flop LOST
JTs vs AA all in on JT3 rainbow flop LOST
ATs vs QQ all in preflop LOST
AKo vs AA all in preflop LOST
AKo vs KK all in preflop LOST
88 vs 75o all in preflop CHOP this is when I called it a day
Ok half day today as headed to a buddy’s house from playa del carmen who moved to Vegas when we moved to Torreon.
Current mood heading to my session:
And sometime soon i am going to take a breath and catch up on logs and watch some Netflix. Just hard to slow down now with 1 thing on my mind, getting my wife in the same country as me.
Everything But Boobies
Trap Deads 3x5 w 225
Uni Lat Down
CS T-Bar Row
Back X
FCKKKK forgot biceps. Back X felt good though, my glutes feel it now. I really think that Back X has had a huge role in my deadlift both good (when doing it) and bad (when I stopped because they were too easy). I dont think it builds strength as much as it engages the glutes which saves the lower back.
Mkay super tired but have to leave for bus stop in a few.
