Was kind of nice to not log anything or even know what my routine was.

Now that my $1200 paper weight is working again, i can see i missed Hack Squats and Split Squats.
One of the gym regulars came up to me saying he wasn’t sure if i was the same person because of how different i look.
Sometimes it’s fun to think about what a high school reunion would be like, but i think now i would fit in even less than i did when i was a chubby nerd.
Now if only i could convince myself I’m not a chubby nerd

Lots of swaps and order changes because busy today.
I would normally never do Triceps Dips after Extensions, but i really liked the pump i got off this.
Strength went down a ton by swapping those two out, but it felt a lot better.
Not entirely sure what you meant by that (i’m probably too old to pick up on what ever clue was in that sentence).
Certainty no issue with what ever response you give. I am not as sensitive as some people seem to be these days. I am always happy to be a sounding board if it helps.
I do find it interesting though that your reply to the question of what would help, was to say what someone else could do rather than yourself.
Do you have any other means of communication outside this forum?
I’m on undergroundbodybuilding, anabolicsteroidforums, even reddit and have a secure email (in profile).
I think you and I are a lot more alike than I realized and I’m always looking for guys like me.
Sounds like you are doing it tough and I feel for you. Emotional stress from relationships is pretty hard to deal with, especially of both partners are not on the same page. Sounds like you have made a decision about how you want to go forward and I guess now you just need to execute on that plan.
To get more potassium for lower back pump try some butternut squash. It has a ton of potassium and has the consistency of a mashed potato with less cals per gram.
I cook mine cut in half, scooped out the seeds, face down in a casserole dish with about a half an inch of water in it. Cook for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. Serve with butter and brown sugar. It is like a dessert. You get a lot for not that many cals.
I do the same thing but I can’t see yours. Idk maybe I’m being a moron; I’ve done it before but I just can’t see it now. Maybe they did away with it when they changed the format.

Knees feeling like trash. Motivation in the tank. It’s like the same week i finally figure out some shit that’s had me struggling for over a year - i start falling apart.
Sometimes, i really am my own worst enemy. I have to pull my shit together.
Agreed, water weight from stress is real. I’ve noticed myself that during particularly stressful weeks at work I’ll weigh in 2-3lbs heavier a few days in a row, regardless of diet and exercise that week
