Took it easy, shit felt fookin’ heavy, first time under a barbell in a couple weeks, so didn’t go too wild, squatted in my Romaleo’s again as well, since it’s an athletic wooden platform, stocking feet ain’t gonna cut it.

Also, have added a mile run in every night. Started Saturday. 2% grade, 7.5mph (8 minute mile) for 5 days, then two days off, 5 days at 1.5 miles, and work up to 3 a day. Last time I had abs and was real vascular I was running an easy 3 miles a day and working my ass off in the weight room, going back to what I know a little bit, sticking to the major stuff I. Pandora’s training system, but adding my own things to keep myself enjoying it (yeah I know, you don’t NEED to enjoy training, just need to get results haha but hey… :man_shrugging:)

Shoulder prehab/rehab movements.

Had about a week of barbell time, had someone else that had been using it come in contact with a possible ‘rona case, so having two 1 year olds at home I decided to just workout from home for now. About the only positive is that I’m down from a peak of 230 in December to 203-204 today. Is what it is, squats take a shit when my body comp changes drastically

Glad you are ok and staying safe. How’s time at home with the kids going?

Yeah we’re all good! I’m still working, thankfully, most of Wyoming has jobs in ‘essential’ areas, so there’s still a lot of ‘life’ going on here, what’s helping us is the fact that we have more antelope than people :joy:

Lol yer being in a scarcely populated place is deff wining right now.

A good day. 405 felt heavy AF, but moved fine. Can definitely feel the weight loss as it effects squat and deadlift bracing a ton. Highest point was 230 in late December, down to 198 this morning.

Skinny b’stard!:joy:

Some small accessory movements for upper back, triceps, and biceps. So, going off the scale I used last year, when my lowest weight was 196(ish), then That means I’m back to my lowest in years, while being significantly stronger than I was at this weight last year. So… win?
