Went to Costco yesterday and bought 2 weeks of food, water, everything I need to consume. Ha. I then prepped it for the week. First time I’ve done this, but figure I need to, in order to get past this hump. Also, tracked everything I ate yesterday which kept me exactly where I need to be. I’m not sure if the last month, I was over eating or if I just ate something that didn’t quite work. Most likely, I think my protein was too high and fat too low as a percentage. I had to stop my wife from getting ground turkey. She was really annoyed because I kept pushing for ground pork, but she thinks it’s bad because of how greasy it is. Tried to explain that’s what I need. I’ve had ground turkey on salads at dinner, which is possibly too high of protein/fat ratio. Oh wel.
Woke up at 215 on the dot. Tried to take deep breaths and spit my weigh to 214.8. Didn’t quite work. Hahaha. I think my previous low was 215.8, so it’s moving again.
My 60lb KB got lost in the mail, AGAIN! So I cancelled the order and saw 40lbers were on sale for $1/lb. decided to get two and use them for flies and essentially DB presses. I ‘should’ have them Monday. Instead of hitting chest today, I’m gonna try again at legs and do chest tomorrow when the KBs ‘arrive’.
Morning Cardio
80LB KB Swings
30, 20, 30, 20
Kind of interesting, swinging a KB this heavy makes my abs stretch really hard. Also, my ass feels knotted up and cramps constantly. lol
Good call on the tracking and food prepping, it’s really the only way to know FOR SURE. Lots of times on a prep or with clients, we make small adjustments, real small to keep the 1-2lbs a week going, and the only way it works is when everything is executed perfectly. Now that you’re prepping food and tracking, no doubt you’ll see more progress. SCIENCE! Keep it up man!
Forgot I had a board meeting tonight… if I had remembered, I wouldn’t of gotten to the office early. Also, one of my 40lb KBs showed up today. Not sure what happened to the other . Gonna take the night off and hit it tomorrow.
Morning sesh
80lb KB swings

Need to eat some more fat before bed, fortunately I know the cure… almond butter!!
Wish I knew. I think it has to do with the weight and ridiculous box packaging. You can’t really put a box around a 40+lb metal object and travel 1000+ miles, the way mailman treat packages.
To recap:
The first order was a 60lber that arrived as a 50lb DB. - Amazons fault
The second order arrived in eastern oregon, without the KB (so I’m told)
The third order was cancelled when I was told there’s be delays.
The fourth was for 2 40lbers. Only one has made it, despite both coming from the same place.
Definitely look leaner man. Shoulder roundness coming in, some veins coming in on the arms, abs starting to show, legs are starting to show more than just one muscle. Well on your way!
I usually know I’m starting to get leaner when I look at my quads and they stop just looking like one big muscle and start separating a bit.
So, for anyone interested… I have found my Keto savior today. Mixing a can of coconut milk with water and curry paste, then throwing some meat in with veggies.
1/4 cup of CM has 11F 1P and 1C. If you throw ground pork in, like I did today, it’s a deliciously fat curried soup. I had half of the soup which means I took in 33F from the CM.
Morning Workout: Thrusters with 40lb KB in each hand - 15, 10, 10, 10
I actually really like doing the thrusters. I’m not nearly as explosive as I’d like to be coming out of the hole. Will probably keep doing these in the morning alternating between swings.
Front Paused Squat
5x135 - Then threw it on my back and did 5 more paused
Feel pretty good about today’s workout. I could of done 275 for 6-8 reps. Considering I haven’t squatted beyond 315 this year, I’m happy to see I haven’t lost much strength. I’m pretty sure if I started eating carbs and training heavy, I’d hit 365 pretty quickly.
Decided to take a cheat meal today. I’ve been craving sushi and donuts lately, so I’m going to combine the two and get a sushi-donut. Haha, there’s a place in Portland that has them. I figure if I’m going to have a cheat meal, sushi is probably one of the best.
. Gonna take the night off and hit it tomorrow.
