Masculine Excellence Requires Discipline

Quick update:
3/13 - rest
Forced due to class

3/14 - rest
Unplanned, started feeling a sore throat and didn’t want to risk crushing my CNS via leg day before getting sick.

3/15 - rest
Was right about getting sick and made the smart decision not to train. A rarity, a assure you.

3/16 - rest
Family got checked out at a clinic and tested positive for Bronchial Pneumonia, I’ve likely got this too. Body aches are very persuasive to make me not train, despite wanting to. If i start feeling better later on, I’ll be hitting legs.

Diet has been okay, could be better. Have been bumping carbs (some were definitely not healthy) to help kick this bug.

Accountability check.

Need to do better on protein. Will be adding in Egg Whites when I get to the grocery store, inspired by @throwawayfitness.


Need to increase activity level. Will start tracking steps again (probably not logging, just making a conscious effort to hit 10k) and may start doing stretching routines with the family (daughter needs it for gymnastics, wife needs it for… umm… things, and I need it because I’m too stiff (not like that)).

I was bad and I ate ice cream… I told the wife not to bring it home under any circumstance, she did not listen and now we’re here.

100% don’t believe - nobody else was awake and in the gym at 3am.

Good on you, man. Looks like the lower volume stuff really agrees with you.

Tell me you’re jealous without telling me you’re jealous :nail_care:


I want to point out the irony that of the 2 comments I got, that this is the one you don’t believe :joy:

Well, we were both in the military, so I know the planet is apparently full of people (in your last unit) that looked just like me, except that person was just a little faster/ leaner/ bigger/ stronger.

And, also, the person talking to me always was better than me at everything until he twisted his ankle once and couldn’t run for 2 weeks so gained 67 lbs.

It really is a sad story.

Dude had so much potential, he was going to go pro until he twisted his ankle 35 years ago. Life just isn’t fair :disappointed_relieved:
