Continuing my journey... Simply Jacked

I am excited for it. I am not quite running it the way Jim wants but it’s close enough. I can handle EOD in the am now that I am use to waking up again.

Just working up to a 1 mile run on my rest days between.

Figured if I dropped the weight enough it would be a great way to get some better conditioning and prep for summer.

Also looking at the changes I had to make to he able to pull it off for my self I am pretty much running his old man winter version lol! I started it before I saw that though…

3/29 cardio
3/30 went to the gym to try to get deadlift session in… All racks were constantly taken. Worse… I could not work in because every one was squatting or ohping.

Calves are super sore for some reason. Hamstrings we’re still sore from the sdls on bench.

Said fuck it still need to get something in and did:

Seated cable row 5x10 75lbs
Leg extensions countdowns 10 down to 1 at 25 lbs
Bench press 11x5 45,55,65,75,65,65,65,65,65,65,65
Hanging leg raises 2x20

No sure I can do kryptiea at the gym if I can’t consistently get a rack. I am still upset that my old gym closed. I have not found a suitable replacment

Had a blast… Made a decision. Just gave my 2 weeks at my second job.

Sick of having a hard time finding time to lift.

Mornings would be doable if I didn’t have to go to bed so late.

4/11 145 lbs looks like diet cutting is working for now lol

2 more weeks of second job and I can start lifting again normally. I want to start kryptiea but… Thinking I should ease back in again first before I start kryptiea properly.

Just gonna hit as many light sessions as I can for the next 2 weeks and not stress about it.

Considering triumvirate to ease back in. Not pushing time or super setting too much.

That is awesome!

Legs still hurt from last lifting session… Probably should ease in slower than BBB sets… Bah

Couple more test out days left before I can be consistent… 1 week. Next Tuesday is my last day. Come on baby! Time needs to flow a little faster for me.

Low back is a little sore. To be expected since I haven’t pulled heavy in 4 months.
Still easing back in.

Today is rest day. Work at the second job tonight so I will be on my feet for most of the day.
