Turns out I’m heading out of town for work today instead of tomorrow, so I slipped in a quick workout before hitting the road:
OHP
45 x 10
95 x 5
115 x 5
145 x 5
175 x 5
205 x 3
225 x 2 (failed on 3rd rep, damn)
SUPERSET CHINS/DIPS
10/15 x 3sets
Looks like hotel workouts for the remainder of the week!
Good write up brother, at the least you got to learn about what your body needs and responds too 
Do you know how much protein you were getting roughly per day on the vege diet?
EDIT: how much do you get as well @kleinhound?
@Irishman92
Not a huge amount, maybe 100g on average? Maybe a bit more some days but probably not more than 120g
Not even sure if i could squat 225 for 1…
I do this on a meat diet. High end would be 150.
I love these surprises.
If they have dumbbells then you’ll be fine. I’ve recently added the old 21’s finisher to a lot of my workouts. Some days I’ll do two to three sets instead of my usual work sets. I’ll do 10 full, 10 top half (or end ROM), and 10 bottom half (or starting ROM).
3 sets of that on seated DB press and your delts will scream! It won’t do much for your top end strength but it definitely takes care of time under tension.
@kleinhound - Yes, I’m definitely happy I tried it. I’ve put a few more recipes in the toolbox and am much more likely to still have a few meals a week that aren’t solely based around meat. It just isn’t fitting my current life situation, so back to simplistic nutrition for me.
@Irishman92 - Same as Klein, seemed to be in the area of 100g most days. My typical diet would be 200g minimum. BUT, I did slack a little on my regular creatine consumption which probably would have helped with recovery even more with the reduced meat diet.
@j4gga2 - We All have to start somewhere my friend!
@oldbeancam - gasp, but what about 1g/lb bodyweight?!?!?!
@dchris - oh ya, they’re the best! Could be worse, and the weight room was surprisingly decent at this place.
@Frank_C - ya man, I have a decent idea of some workouts. Dbs go up to 50lbs and have a decent little machine and some cardio equipment.

Had just over half an hour before dinner so I got this quick one in. Going to try to get one in early in the morning since after work typically involves beer, which greatly decreases the likelihood of a workout.

Warmup
10mins treadmill 10% 3.0mph
5 Rounds of:
Incline DB Press 21’s with 50lb DB
Lat Pulldown (varying grips) 10reps
Back-supported leg raises 10reps
Decent little pump. I much prefer hanging leg raises to the little back supported dip station ones as I feel those more in my hip flexors.
This always makes me feel better when I go out for heavy drinking. If i know I got a in a workout before I think it’s a mental thing, but I don’t even feel bad then lol.
I heard a story somewhere that Arnold & his buddies would go into the woods to squat and drink lots of beer. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.
I wish I could recall whom said it on here but to paraphrase:
“I care enough about my physique to train hard and eat well, but not enough to stop drinking beer”
^My training life summed up in a single sentence lol.
Awesome quote!
Hence the pursuit of Strongman over Bodybuilding 
Right there with ya buddy
Well I have a laundry list of excuses for why this workout wasn’t at 100% or even 75% but I’ll save those for a rainy day:
Deadlift
135 x 5
225 x 5
335 x 3
405 x 5
455 x 3
525 x 3
Left hip was a bit tight as I worked up through the sets, but I was kind of rushing through this one so I didn’t push it too hard on my + set. Hit 3 reps on my 1’s week though, so not horrible.
GIANT SET
Band High Pulls
5 x 10reps
20lb Lat Raises
5 x 12 reps
BW Back Extensions
5 x 10reps
Opening of duck season tomorrow. Wish me luck, off to the camp for the night!
Shotgun and lakes kind of duck season? Shit man you a living the good life!
I think BBing is easier to pursue while drinking than strength sports because performance doesnt really matter. Obviously late in a cut you need to drop booze but you would be surprised how lean you can get and stay while still drinking tooo much once per week.
@Irishman92 - You bet!
@BOTSLAYER - Ya, performance definitely does take a hit when nutrition relaxes. Staying lean while drinking too much, I’ll have to look into this further…
