Thursday morn and night
Bunch of chest stuff.
Also did some triceps. I hate chest day. Nothing to write home about. I still press overhead more than I can Bench.
Tweaked my back a bit yesterday, but woke up feeling great.
I did do some rows and DLs yesterday not much tho.

Tuesday Morning
20 Minutes Stairclimber
Not sure if I’ll lift tonight or not. Work is crazy right now. Without going into too much detail, a client thought I was too young and raised the concern to my bosses multiple times that I can’t be the lead guy. It was pretty hurtful at first, because I had a good relationship with the guy who raised the concerns but he never told me or indicated that he felt this way. Flash forward 8 months, to now, and they don’t want to work with my co-workers and want me to be the liaison between them and my team. While that isn’t physically possible for one person, I’ve been somehow making that work and carrying the load of an employee we just let go. Works going really welll, I’m exceeding all expectations and killing it on my projects. Litterally everyone is happy… but me. Been feeling under appreciated for the amount of work I’m doing. Supposed to be on a two vacation tomorrow and the boss forgot and made a big deal about it. My last vacation I ended up working 30 hours during a 5 day vacation time. The nice part was I only used 10 hours of vacation, the bit nice part is I didn’t actually enjoy my vacation. Seems I get sucked into work regardless of my time off. Meanwhile, two coworkers get back tomorrow from vacation and they didn’t get bugged once.

Will hit front squats later tonight after I watch the voice. Then work until midnight, so I can pack and leave early tomorrow.

Warning, incoming woowoo rant.
These are reflections - things that you are triggered about that are based on your past experiences.
They’re probably not the first time you have felt hurt or under appreciated, but are a response to things that have happened in your life.
It’s just business bro.
Know that you do a good job and you rock, and fuck everybody else.
End woowoo shit.

Probably Right. Also, hurtful was probably the wrong word. It caught me off guard because the concern was never conveyed to me. Also that my boss didn’t stand up for me.
It is just business, but my boss is my dad. So it often crosses the personal side too.

How dare you say the ‘E’ word in my log!!?
Kidding aside, I’m an Owner’s Rep. Essentially, act on their behalf and manage their construction projects.
Me too. Working on and for, because apparently I am expected to work while on vacation. I understand when clients and others call on vacation as they don’t all know… but the 17 calls I received from coworkers yesterday is out of hand. They know I’m not working.

Haha sorry!
Gotcha, Project Management for a consultant type work, lol.
Ya, that’s B.S., I work to live, not live to work!
Luckily, I work for the Owner. So I deal with much less of that aspect, since, you know, I’m the one making those outrageous deadlines and requirements.
Keep up the good work, soldier!

This could be immediate implementation for a workaholic. One heavy movement and cardio every session. Make it happen and you’ll start to see improvements in lifestyle changes and level of well-being. It’s not like you’re competing or anything. Get to that single digit bodyfat domain and everybody starts appreciating how important your training is and gently nudge you off to an early-training start.

Since we have sprung forward now and weather is getting better I’m going to try and start doing heavy trap bar farmers walks. There is a new road next to my house waiting for new houses to go in this summer. So it’s perfect and freshly paced for heavy walks. Will try and incorporated them this week.

Bring straps with you, but don’t use them at first. If you can walk 5 minutes with 225 in your hands and your grip starts to fail the straps give you an easier trip home. Don’t ask how I know.
