Not sure why my triceps were doing so badly today. Might be that I switched up my tricep workout earlier in the week and hit them in a different manner. I’ll figure it out. Still got a good pump in em.

Thanks man! I actually think I might have been able to force one more out, kinda kicking myself for not going for it.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. My lower back hates me right now. lol.

After the workout, I took some time to relax, then helped a friend move into his house. My lower back wasn’t happy.

Recently, I’ve been sort of just leaning up while maintaining mass.

Usually my eating has been something like:

Breakfast:
banana, cup of yogurt, glass of milk

Post workout:
Weight gainer (just to keep some calories up)
Protein
Creatine (5g)
Milk
another banana

Mid-day meal:
1 lb of some meat (usually pork or chicken)

Night time:
a shake consisting of whey isolate and milk
2 tbsp of peanut butter

I’ll attach a picture of the diet I’m starting sometime in the next week.

Thanks though man! Appreciate it and glad to motivate. Let me know if you have any questions about anything else.

Busy day today! Worked 9am-2pm, I have to go back to work at five. Considered just taking a nap, but didn’t want to miss my session, so I went to get a workout in. Have to do another 6 hours of work still tonight, fml lol.

Bicep death. Had a nice back pump. Considering I had only had a pop tart, 2 pieces of ezekiel bread with grass-fed butter, a couple cups of coffee and a glass of milk in the six hours before my workout, I’m pretty happy with it.

772

Damn I need to get my curls up

773

I feel you on the shitty work hours, god damn how I hate the food service industry. If only going to college didn’t cost so much money…

774

775

Haha yeah, they were pretty rough. Thankfully I only work single shifts the rest of the week.

Thanks man. Preachers are def good, slowing the negatives on them hurts soo bad though. Yeah, headed into STL with the guys and hit up a couple whole food stores, found Ezekiel bread for $4 a loaf (like $7 at the only place that has it in town), we all bought a bunch of it and pretty much took all their ezekiel bread haha. Give it a try! So far I’ve only tried the cinnamon raisin but it’s really good.

I’m a line cook at Bully’s Smokehouse, a BBQ/rib place. Kitchen hours can be hectic. At first, they weren’t even going to let me go all day, so it would have been 14 hours straight, but instead it slowed down for a while, I got a three hour break (that I lifted for two hours of), and worked a total of 11 hours lol.

Chest/Tris
I barely ate yesterday, no time/was stressed, so I figured pressing would be weak today. I was kinda right. Day started off bad, I backhanded a glass of milk (on accident) all over my room, and washed and ruined my mp3 player, so I had to workout without music.
