That’s the beauty of the LIKE button. You can be supportive even on bad days.
I actually enjoy the personal things more. I like when people share their other activities and thoughts.
Mark’s log has always been full of self reflection and I like that. I guess it makes this internet world seem a little more human. This log and @littlesleeper’s were the first two logs I ever viewed. I still have them bookmarked.
Keep up the good work, Mark!
Agree I like that too, but I was referring to my log. If Mark missed mine for the last couple of weeks he didn’t miss much.
Woke at 252.2 lbs, looking a little bit more bloated than usual but nothing extreme.
Well, my head is stuffed with concrete and I’m halfway deaf in my left ear. Whether or not I actually do my light day today is going to depend on how I feel when I’m under the bar. Nothing below the neck feels bad at all, so there’s no reason for me not to train but given I’m six days out I’m going to be super cautious.
Todays training
3x10 bracing hip thrusts
10x10 seconds bracing 90/90
Squat
Worked up to 5x2x286 lbs
Kb halos, band work
Bench
Worked up to 5x3x160 lbs
DL
Worked up to 6x1x314 lbs
Took ages because I was helping Matt - he just needed a handout and spot for four of his bench sets, which took the same time as my sets did.
Definitely feeling the cold right now so it’s just rest, hydration and eating from hereon in
I read this as rest, hydration and eating heroin !!! That would deff clear your cold !!
Also kill me, but sure, clear my cold
Woke at 250.9 lbs, looking similar to yesterday. Colds definitely bloat me up. Congestion is clearing though.
Did my rehab stuff: the drills and the stretching. Also some air squats when I got out of bed. Congestion has cleared up a bunch and I feel almost entirely back to normal. Glad I stayed home today though.
Decided to take some fatsique shots too. I’m surprised how steadily my weight stays around the 250 lbs mark with what I have to admit is a relatively lackadaisical approach to diet right now. I mean, I still rarely eat what is traditionally considered junk, but I’m not exactly leaving the whole foods section at the shops empty. Still focusing on getting a lot of carbs and leaving fat as the smallest proportion of total calories, but I’m more willing to let some fats pass (mostly peanut butter, and some cheese and milk).
Anyway, here’s 250-odd pounds of cranky meat after six weeks of very low volume training.
Still sexy, still hasnt mastered the art of smiling
Looking absolutely look-mate-you’re-not-coming-in-without-ID-and-that’s-final’d.
Funnily enough, when that’s what I did five nights a week I was around fifty pounds lighter.
Back looking wider than a 747 man. Some decent muscle under all that fluff !
Beast!!
I need to get back on the platform ASAP before you beat me to that 1600lb total!
Woke at 252.2 lbs, looking much the same as usual.
Haven’t you already done that though?
Did my bracing hip thrusts and bracing 90/90s after work, as well as some stretching.
So close…
I’m a little nervous to see how much strength I’ve lost with this little 6 week sentence of no squatting and deadlifting…
Beastmode Mark, ready to squat, push and pull a lot of iron.
