Masculine Excellence Requires Discipline

5/8/23 - Jordan Peters PPLA Push 2

Knees were still iffy so i skipped legs. Should be fine to hit them later this week.


+10mins cardio

  • Shoulders are quite unhappy but this was a great session.

Lots of stress this week. Unlikely to hit cardio goal but scale is moving.

Apparently I lost weight when doing less and eating more. Weight loss be weird.

Notes
Super stressful week, likely to be followed by another one. Need to pick it up on the cardio, but hard to do so when averaging ~4hrs sleep and needing to wake up an hour earlier for cardio. No excuses, I need to do better.

  • Slangin weights today. Felt great.

Seeing a bit of loose skin which is great because I’m clearly leaning out, but now it’s apparent ill need to backfill with more muscle… good. FFMI >30 WILL happen.

Okay I’m back. I’ve been busy getting my affairs in order and performing various methods of cardio. Diet went off track this weekend, actually kind of needed it mentally so lets just call it a “diet break”. With everything else going on, I let training slip behind. Let’s not talk about the scale right now.
Marriage very well may be in the best place is ever been… the man I’m becoming happens to be popular with the wife.

Back to training.

Not yet, but probably after the move for sure.
Lots of practice is required beforehand, obviously :grinning:

  • Will hit the rest at home, ran out of time.
  • Knees feeling a bit better but really not 100%.
  • Lower back is pretty torn up from RDLs. Left hammy has always been tighter than right, and lower back left side is the torn up part.

Was working on the marriage, had some fallout (expected). I used getting a ring tattoo as a bargaining chip and it paid off well.

So I’m getting a ring tattoo and might be out of the gym for a few days… to be fair, I get the impression I’ll be getting extra cardio in as a tradeoff. Will upload pic when tattoo is done/pictureworthy.

Marriage gains > gym gains.

I looked into this before. A lot of tattoo artists only do the top of the finger, as the bottom of the finger replaces skin cells so quickly that the tattoo fades in pretty short order.

So, if you do decide to go that route, shouldnt be too long out of the gym, I don’t see the tops of your hands being too impacted by a lift. (Unless I’ve been lifting wrong that is)

Don’t underestimate me :sweat_smile:

Only doing the top side

Her (new) initials are under the blurred out part.

Nothing super fancy, it’s probably going to get messed up over time so there’s not much point.

This is exactly why I plan my off days from lifting around my wife’s days off from work. You’re a good dude and your priorities are in order.

This means a lot coming from you. Thank you.

Tattoo is healed up enough, so I’m back. Went maintenance mode last week… it was nice; worked some stuff out with the wife, leveled up a bit, had some good food, about to kill off a credit card… life is good.

Scale went up like 8lbs but I look more lean, because that makes sense. Probably going to start using diet breaks more regularly - I need to start working my TDEE up.

Anyone into watches? Just got this beauty with credit from work performance awards.
