Masculine Excellence Requires Discipline

Was this done on the standing calves? I’m gonna replace OHP with that on monday

Yes. It’s my new main movement for shoulders.
The ROM is pretty limited, but full ROM is for peasants anyways :laughing:
I just bias it towards the stretched position.

I’m pulling a Hat Trick on viruses… 3 viruses over 3 weeks. Temp was at 101.4 two days ago. Started supplementing Vitamin D injections again.

Tbh im getting tired of cutting. I’m going to start cutting harder because I’m just sick of it… havent been in a caloric surplus in over 2 years and I’m ready to start growing. Considering more gear to aid in this.

Going to move biceps work to first and rack pulls before horizontal rows. Too much interference from other exercises.

Stressful life stuff is calming down; i may expand on this in the future, its just deeply personal.

Glad to hear that your stress is going down. I’ve been forced cutting for 177 days. I can’t imagine 2 years.

Went 4 for 4 on illnesses. Supposed to train today but not feeling 100%. Bed verified this via HRV.

Dropping the DHB, mast is running low so I’ll be discontinuing soon, will continue on with test and deca at low dose. Considering ordering more mast.

Shoulders still unhappy.

What do you use for cold plunge? I was thinking about getting a bigger top load freezer.

I just fill my oversized whirlpool tub and keep it filled overnight. There’s an outside access door for the tub motor so the best I get is night time air temp (estimate 50*F).

If I decide I want to make this a staple in my everyday life, I’ll likely end up getting an ice maker to help. Not sure what size I’d want but I’m thinking either the 27 or 48lb capacity.
I could use a bigger tub too, tbh.

Left early, short notice work schedule change.

5 for 5 on weekend illnesses. Temp was 101 yesterday. Who the fuck knows.

Decided to wax in an attempt to deal with back hairs (likely exacerbated by steroids) and it worked well. Check back in a few weeks to see whats what.
