then went to get 6 year old to bus stop, barely made it, walked back with 2.75 year old to my Charger and the effen keyfob wouldn’t work. battery dead, again. 80 year old neighbor was in his driveway, brought his Dakota (yeah, that kind of neighborhood, Harleys and Dodges, a few Fords) over and got her started, tail lights stuck on again. Got littlest one to daycare, dropped car off at svc place, took loaner to work for first day. Ended out $300 for pinched cable that was shorting shit out.
today
a.m. 25 elliptical
day 2 at new job with no computer, on conference calls, snooze
How do you find time to lift? I have a similar situation going on and finding time to lift sometimes means later at night than ever before and having a little one there watching and playing while I go at it. Safety is always a concern but I think I have an understanding with my youngun’, she must sit while I lift.

Everything is done quickly, after work, right now. Next week will be harrier as the wife will be out of town for training, I will have pick up and drop off duties. I will try to squeeze something in over lunch a couple of times though.
because it is the trendy thing for old, fucked up gym rats to do I am revamping my training probably for the whole summer. main goals are a) get some work in, for fucks sake b) hypertrophy or rebuild areas that have gotten smaller in the last few years of pl’ing c) keep my family and employer happy d) feel good, and look better and e) maintain strength so I can come back and kick ass on the platform, either this fall or early next year. basically I am kinda doing a Tate, and a lot of my training will be inspired by him and Meadows
right now keeping it basic, intensity and volume will pick up
today:
squats/quads/calves/abs
elite fts yoke bar to 2 inches below parallel worked up to 350 + 200 in chains x 5
Los Campeones hack squat 4 x 8 w/90… odd machine, don’t need much weight
leg ext 4 x 15-20
calves 4 x 15-20
cable abs 4 x 15
basic template will be
day 1
bench/pecs/tris
day 2
dl/back/hams
day 3
delts/bis/forearms
day 4
squats/quads/calves
abs whenever, steady state cardio every weekday, hiit/prowler/hills added in later. volume and intensity building each week. movements will be organic, i.e. I can’t count on training at the same place for each session for the next few months, so I will have to make due whether I am at tcbb, los camp, or a commercial gym over lunch
not ideal but better than getting fat(ter) and weak
didn’t sleep for shit, seriously, skipped a.m. cardio for another half hour of ‘rest’; honestly don’t deal well with life when wife is away, something I need to work on
p.m.
fortunately light shit
laterals 25s/30s/35s/40s/45s/50s/55s x 10, 60 x 8
cable rear delt 5 x 12-15
seated smith press - very light, 5 x 15, seeing how these feel on my crappy old shoulders
p.m., short time window after picking kids up, complete bb style as I forgot my belt
calves 6 x 12-15
leg ext, paused, 6 x 12… embarassingly light weight, I suck at these, also causes spasms in my quads before moving on to leg presses
leg presses 6 x 20, 10 wide, then 10 narrow each set, worked up to 20 plates on set 4 then had to back down for the last two, my quad tolerance to lactic acid right now sucks, but this will improve
front squat 135/225/315 x 8
out of time but was fried just by this, this will improve
p.m., short time window after picking kids up, complete bb style as I forgot my belt
calves 6 x 12-15
