About as much as my training log!

602

hello? is there anybody there?

603

Okay, so it is still here -

quick recapā€¦

2014 was a bad year:

  1. they closed down my division, so i went back to my previous job - which is a good job, and a real blessing since I am no longer stressed to the gills~

  2. Found a heart issue, A-fib, probably due to stress (and drinking) - spent the summer/fall working towards getting the dosing correct.

  3. shoulder problems (biceps tendon) stopped any flat bench work -been rehabbing it and we are on the mend.

Then 2015 hit, and I was determined to lose BF, and get down to an even 200 lbs, which meant that I had to lose 25 lbs of BF, then I caught that cold/flu/head congestion thing, and that about ruined all of February.

But that makes me even more determined to lose fat, get strong, and build lean mass.

however - I just turned 51 - and although that sounds old, I sure donā€™t feel old. and am sure that with the right nutrition, training and mental strength - I can make that happen.

So - Saturday will be my first day back in the gym after a month due to that damnded cold/flu thing - and I am on track to lose 1 lb per week until I reach 200 lbs - around the middle of May.

Wish me luck, peeps~

214.5 this morning - the calipers put me at 18% BF = 38lbs of BF = should be fine to lose 15 lbs, and still be in the 12% bf range.

I think - me and math aint the best of freinds.

thinking of doing a variant of 5/3/1 - without the BP - since I have long arms, and relatively small chest, it becomes more of a tri move, and less of a chest move - working on that - AND, legs have decent size, so I think I will be doing the following:

Chest = DB BP, Flys
Back
Deads/Legs
Shldrs

I will work on the program with the escalation and keep it logged here.

here we go~

Yea, I do man. Lots of great logs have dropped off in the recent past, yours being one of them. Iā€™ll be following brother.

Awright -

went in for some light chest/shldrs/tris on Fri nite - real light, like embarassing lightā€¦

went in for some light DL/back/Biā€™s on Sat am - again, real light.

DOMS? hell yes, legs and tris the most. shldrs, biā€™s back in good shape, so Iā€™ll hit them this week along with some cardio and keeping my cals in the 2000 or under zone -

hopefully, in a week or so, i can get some max lift weights so i can get going on 5/3/1 again -

sigh, itā€™s tough coming back after an illness, but still gratifying, yaā€™know?

I wish I had some personal news daily to update, like SpokieGurl, but my life is kinda boringā€¦

612

did some shldr work last night, tried to concentrate on volume, but ended up hitting 135 x 5 x 3 - I know it aint much, but gimme a couple of weeks to hit them again -

613

yeah, itā€™s a Journey kinda day here in North Cali~

614

did some back yesterday, not much, sticking to reps to make sure i dont hurt anything while Iā€™m ramping up from being sick -

I think Iā€™ll be hitting pendeleys for my back max on 5/3/1 -

i should start posting random daily stuff to keep ya all interested, no?

615

OF COURSE POST DAILY STUFF!!!

I know youā€™re old enough to remember the old blind guy on Kung Fu with the cataracts and the goatee?

Master Po - ā€œThere is a balance to the universe, Grasshopper. 2014 very, very bad year. 2015 very, very GOOD most awesome year. Balance in the universe maintained.ā€

Glad to hear that you are taking care of your health and back at it, Edgy.

Good to see you here.

Age is such a mind game. I feel young and think I look fairly young. Yet, Jesus, there are lots of grandparents my age.

Iā€™m sure youā€™ll reach your goals.
