I came out down $100. Not too bad for a free room, breakfast, a big lunch, and 5-10 free drinks. And all the shit talking people could stand…good to hang with the buddies for a night.
My bud hit em for $600

Yeah, that isnt bad at all. I used to go to casinos with a buddy who was addicted to gambling. Saw him lose $30k once and it was devastating, especially considering we were both only 19

@duketheslaya Better and better. Some tightness still but zero pain. It was itchy a bit today… good sign. Tomorrow is dead lift day. I’ll skip it and do some back work. But it won’t be easy to skip it. I may do some body squats just to feel it out a bit. I used a roller stick lightly on it tonight. It was gritty feeling but no pain.

Muscles are full of glycogen again.
Great work on the PR. Sometimes a few days off does bloody wonders hey.
Have you got a proper rumble type roller you can use to roll on the floor, it is painful, but helps a ton. I used to use mine a lot, hurts like hell after some leg days, but always better afterwards.

Yeah we have one. I’ve used it. When we first got it it was brutal. Now when ever I use it I never seem tight enough to get anything from it.

How tall are you? You got a lot of muscle on your frame. Looking good at your weight man. If/when you decide to do a proper cut, you’ll be very pleased.
Good work!
6’4". I’m still trying to figure the whole proper cut thing out…
Everyone has a method preference.
I like to get it done as fast as possible, so I go extreeme. Very low carbs and hi intensity cardio several times per week. Still use intraworkout drink, plazma. This way i get where i want to go quick, and dont have to track cals.
I probably give up some muscle, but in my mind its a fair trade.

Good work on the deadlifts with not pain, be careful though. So many reps of 10, I’d be huffing and puffing like mad

Glad you came through without any issues… yet.

Hey Hog, I’m enjoying your log. I noticed that you have squat, deadlift, and bench goals, but I didn’t see an overhead press goal. Do you have a specific goal for OHP, or are you just using it as an “accessory” to your bench?
@muskratlifts No real goal on the OHP. I guess if I was “pressed” on it, I would like 2 plates or body weight. Still a long way off from that.
What is good for the OHP?
35 pull ups for the day. 17th= 17. Its February so x2 for the month. Daily goal was 34…
