Me- “Wifey, promise me you throw this tuberware out. It has a hole in it and if you dont your mom will save it and it will end up back in the rotation.”
Wifey- “I promise.”
Today:
Me microwaving my tuber that is leaking
Me- “Wifey, did you throw away that tuberware when I asked you?”
Wifey- defensive yelling
Me- responsive yelling
30 seconds later that was that…or was it???
No, because now her Mom, her Sister and my Wife are all mad at me for yelling. For the record my yelling is not as loud as their talking. You can watch TV when I am yelling, I cant hear anything when they are whispering.
FML
20 Minutes Later:
Wifey presents a tuberware with larger holes in it.
“THIS is the tuberware you asked me to throw away!”
“So you brought me the tuberware you promised you would throw away as a way of proving your argument that you thew it away?”
Now I am in deeper trouble with all 3. WTF FML.
This is my super hilarious life. I really think we are a sitcom. I am really laughing about this because this is some shit you would see on a sitcom. Life is short, enjoy all of it.
AM Weight: 103.15kg And feelin it. Had Quad and Ab viens though. I mean super minor but they were there. Quad separation all the way up too but my love handles are coming in.
Hamstring Tear Machine (unfortunately literally)
Comp Deadlift
1s at 405-495-585
I can count on 2 fingers how many times I have jumped from 5 plates to 6 plates on Squat or Deadlift. This was the 2nd. I dont really think that was the problem. If I had to blame something it would be drinking on Saturday. Last injury I had was when I came back from Mazatlan and the main activity of that was Alcoholism.
OK that was the bad.
The Good:
-That 585 felt EASY and the first thing I felt was my hamstring tearing. It was actually a lot slower than it felt.
-My form and ritual were exactly what I want them to be.
-Grip was locked in but the problems there usually dont start until 600+ so lets just keep working.
I expect I will be able to do some Squatting on Wednesday and some Deadlifting Friday but nothing heavy either day.
I need to get healthy and figure out Low Bar or High Bar but I have a lot of confidence that I can get it done this time.
AM Weight: 103.15kg Thought for sure that would come down but then I remember how many total reps I did yesterday. Its a lot more solid feeling 103 today though as Low Bar Mobility stuff felt much better today than it has since I weighed 101.
Bench…ish
Comp Bench
3x5 at 275
Pullups
4x8
Low Bar Mobility
I actually loaded and did a rep with 315 because my target today was a 3x5 at 345. Everything just felt heavy and shitty though so I went way lower.
Hamstring is tight but no bruising that I can see. I doubt I do any lower body work before Friday though.
OK time to grind…then kick some Covenant ass as I just got Halo Reach. I dont know the full story line but as far as I can tell Earth is definitely the bad guys, maybe Covenant too. depends on if they are defending against Earth or fighting over land against.
What FKN Country Is This??? Went to Sorianna and not only did they not have Churros they didnt have fresh Tortillas? Like what? Is this or is this not Mexico? I want my Vanilla Ice Cream with Churros and Cajeta and Chocolate Sauce. They did have a ton of donuts so are we Murrica now?
AM Weight 103.5kg Thats a PR and I dont feel terrible. I think I might either be adjusting to it or growing into it. Probably adjusting. Still probably going to drop a few KG.
Lazy AF Rust Kicker Workout
Deadlifts
2x5 at 135
Banded Rows 2x8ish
Seal Rows 2x3ish
Yes just wasnt feeling it at all but I went in just to feel out my hamstring. It’s not nearly as healed as I thought. 135 had a twinge.
Seal Rows: Hate em. Love the idea but any chest supported row always crushes my sternum.
Drugs: Back on TRT. Going to dial it back, get healthy and build this deadlift then it’s go time again.
Poker: I switched to Party Poker. The volume I am playing the rakeback each month covers living expenses so just having that cushion is huge. Plus games seem to be a ton softer. Stars went straight to shit. So now I am playing volume (which for whatever reason I couldn’t do on stars) which makes it more like a real job. It has had an impact on my motivation to lift though.
Ok done with everything for the day. I will do some leak finding and play Halo.
AM Weight: 105.6kg DAFUQ? Pretty sure the scale is broken. Really no reason for that…or cheese?
Physique So I have about 80% of the definition I had 7kg ago. The major difference is my waist is fkn huge.
Delts
Football OHP 3x5 at 50lbs
Pullups 3x5
Rev Dum Fly
Lat Raise
Banded Face Pull
Curls
That OHP was hard AF. I mean my delts pinching (thanks low bar) didnt help but that was hard. Only reason I put the numbers in so we can all laugh and in a couple weeks hopefully I made progress.
Good work out for the most part. If I was in disbelief for how much I weighed this morning Iwasnt after those Pullups.
OK Work is done for the week and although Halo Reach wont play on my new laptop (Im working on it) Halo will and I bet Halo 2 will too.
AM Weight: 103.5kg Meh, I keep saying today is the day I clean up the diet and shed some weight but then I dont. Post workout was Protein shake with Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
AWESOME WORKOUT!!
Deadlift No Belt Dead stop
2x5 at 135

Iso Holds (Double Overhand, Left Under Right Under)
3x1 at 315
Pause Squats No Belt No Sleeves!!!
1s at 315-405
Split Squats
Kick Backs
Crunches
Deads I should have stopped at 225 as there is where I could feel my Hamstring but it wasnt painful so I went up.
Squats were AWESOME!!! The last time I squatted anything over 135 with out sleeves was probably the first time I hit 585. That 405 was squirrely AF. (If thats offensive to Squirrels IDGAF lol.) I got up on my toes and wavey legged but still no pain.
Also saw how Spock was doing Split Squats and was like I could do that. I can totally tell that my right leg is the smaller one as its stability and strength in general sucks. Probably all goes back to that Knee Injury.
Koffee and Kareem: FUNNY AF Wifey and I dont usually laugh at the same things but we were both laughing the entire movie. Also I know …spoiler… Watts is the bad person but she was my favorite character. Kareem probably my least, gave me flashbacks of grade school. LOL
Funny Story: It was just like prison (or not really). I moved for 6th grade and first day I met a kid and he was my first friend there. We actually met because some 4th year at 6th grade hill billy kid was trying to kick my ass. We hung for that year but drifted apart but he had my back for the next 4-5 years until he went to Alternate School. Man that system was messed up. They had half the kids on ridalin so they wouldnt act up.
OK gonna go raid the Universe for energy and land.
Upper
Bench Press
2x1 at 395
Board Press
3x10 at 225
Pullups
Football Bar Rows
EZ Bar Curls
Program calls for “Smt Heavy” so that was that. 395 moved really well but I misgrooved every way possible including ways that shouldnt be possible like set up so I took it again. It was a lot slower but a lot less misgrooving.
I bought the dedicated DL slippers, and find I like the lounge slippers better. The soles on the DL slippers seemed too small, and my feet hang over the edges. It doesn’t hurt, it is just kinda uncomfortable . I have also tried Chuck Taylors.
I used to use Ballet Slippers but they were a smidge small (largest I could find) and they had a blow out. I think what I am using now are lounge slippers?
I tried barefoot but my old gym wouldnt allow it. My current one does not have the cleaning team normal gyms do.
Barefoot is my preferred foot apparel for anything…but Wifey wont let me get away with that because hook worms or what not.
EDIT: Googling those now. Based on principle I refuse to pay how ever much the “deadlift shoes” are going for because they are literally just Ballet Slippers but 10x the cost. Those Moccasins are pretty cool though and still half the price of some deadlift slippers.
Quads and Bis
High Bar Beltless
1s at 405-455
5-4 at 315 (cuz I cant count to 5)
Split Squats
Kick Backs
Curls
Crunches
I am pretty sure my belt is actually messing with my form and lower back. I think I should probably wear it higher when I add it back in. I am also Squatting too deep but I assume that will be fixed when I add weight and a belt.
I could feel my Hamstring today before working out. Not bad just like it had been trained and not fully recovered and a bit more prominent after working out. We will see how it feels Friday.
OK better day at work than last 2 days…which basically just means nothing literally burned down but I am calling it progress.
Delt Pump
Football Bar OHP
25 w/ 40kg

Fun workout, easy workout. Not sure how much the Football Bar weighs but it is less than 45lbs so just calling it 0.
Pokerz: I am winning on Stars and getting crushed on Party. I am going over hands and my normal leaks and FFS all I can find is I am running like complete garbage. Fuck this bullshit, seriously.
