Got sick last week, then just as sinuses were feeling better, woke up and my lower back was spasming like a son of a bitch so missed another few days. Feeling better both back and head cold, I tend to do a couple full body pump days coming off of a week or more missed, so working through those. Not upping the TRT dose until I get my diet cleaned up more, need to show myself more discipline before I dive in.

Feeling better from illness and can move more freely but the low back is still pissed. Doing solid upper body work and doing a shitload of body weight squats every session. Attempting to clean up my diet, not going to move my TRT dosage up until I’ve shown I can be disciplined with diet again, ha, figure that’s my carrot.

Still here, took a week off for a family wedding in the mountains, ate, drank, and was merry. Took a minute to recover, but I’m back and feeling pretty good. Did a week of full body pump to flush the system, feels good.

Squats
4 x 5 x 225
Ouch, haven’t squatted for awhile due to the low back shit, boy is that a perishable skill 
staying away from deadlift, but squats feel ok as far as pain.

Squat 4 x 5 x 225
DL 4 x 5 x 275
Still at it, been taking it easy on the lower back, but I need to stop milking it and just start training it to get back, because while I haven’t ‘skipped’ days, definitely been a pile of shit on them haha

Still going 4-5 days a week. Lifts are going decent. Had a video, it’s too big. Stupid high reps
225 x 30. Got into some rep challenge stuff with guys at work and it’s been fun. Did 135 x 46 two weeks ago. 225 x 30 this week, next will be 275, 315, and so on. Fun way to get back in the grind of deadlifting after having a screwed up whatever it was for a few weeks
Edit: also have fully embraced the thiccness

Deadlift reps

I’m losing about 5 reps mentally per 40-50lbs it seems like. Need to bring a little better mental fortitude to the gym.

Deadlift

Weird day, had my kids there, which splits focus even when they’re doing great, and the head football coach was there so we were bullshitting about clinics. But still hit my minimum, which once again probably means I’m leaving my balls at the door when it comes to mental fortitude haha
This makes me happy for you and sad for me at the same time. I need to do better, LOL

Back, was supposed to hit 405 for max reps, but have a big knot so I just hit a shit load of accessories and will probably do the 405 for reps this weekend.

Recent highlights:
Fast 385 squat (have plenty in the tank, just hate it haha)
Fast 525 pull, felt good, feels like it’s going to climb this block
And a solid as hell 355 bench.
Training is good, eating is a lot, sleeping is ok, but the work is getting done.

Haven’t pushed squat or deadlift. Just doing enough to keep myself honest.
Have started Ostarine to pair with my TRT dose.

Still at it. Life has been hectic. Moved from Wyoming back to Montana, working out at a big gym and boy is it weird seeing the gym stereotypes in person. Training has been good. Lost a bit of weight and feel solid. Notable is sets of 5 with the 125s on bench. A bunch of singles for deadlift at 455 moving fast. And I’ve started doing zercher squats to improve my back/upper back. Added some cardio in a couple days a week and boy am I fat
7/3
Zerchers for 3 sets of 5 at 225.
Those fuckin suck
But I’m kinda tired of standard squatting anyway, so I’m gonna push these, hopefully get a back like a barn door and push my deadlift up as well.
Good to know.
