Things are going well, enough. Weight is consistently around 209-210 in mornings. I’ll be moving into permanent home in next 30 days. Ready to have ‘a’ life back soon.

I’m getting old. Woke up, go to garage to do a shoulder workout and… nope. 3rd pull up in and my left rhomboid decides to hurt. Hurts to take a deep breath. Attempted some lat raises, nope. Alright, criminal minds and 100 calories cycle it is.
Looking good @dchris mate. Lat spread is fucking ripping up my man
Thanks boss. Been starting every back workout with the DB Method and essentially straight arm pulldowns. It’s impossible to not feel your lats using it.

Found an image of this. If you lean forward so your arms are straight in front of you, you get the craziest lat isolation and pump. It’s dumb, looks dumb, hate that I discovered this, but it’s effective.
When I do straight arm pulldowns with a rope, I do them kneeling. Works like a charm.
My arms and shoulders seem to overcompensate because of the ropes lack of rigidity.

I do much better with cardio if I get to choose what sucks less in a moment. Slow and painful DB or quick and airless airdyne. The squats just sucked. Lol

Pretty good workout. Surprised at how much intensity I could maintain while fasted. My kid took his nap and I can’t life while he’s awake, but I can eat when he’s up. Ha. So, went at it fasted.
Quick diet update
I’ve been eating Kodiak waffles for breakfast with butter. They’re tasty, easy and don’t kill me calories wise. Lunch has been protein and fats and dinner might have grain or bread, but mostly protein, fat and veggie.
If you’re wanting to keep it on the lower carb side for the breakfast, I like these

Nice. Thanks. I found these at Safeway. How do you resist not eating these with PB for every meal?
