Every hero needs a nemesis. Every chaos needs certainty.
But in my story, I am the villain, haha.
I never said which side of the coin I was. LOL
AM WORKOUT (0615 natural wake up) FASTED
āGo Before Youāre Readyā
Open with 5 minutes of ABCs
Transition straight into a 15 minute EMOM
Odd minute: 8 Front squats
Even minute: 2 manmakers
On rounds 10 and 11 of the EMOM, I threw in what Iām going to dub a ācatfish setā ala Deep Water. I got in 10 front squats and 3 manmakers. It was right around the time my heart rate had finally settled down from the ABCs, and those extra reps got it jacked back up again.
Stayed with the 24kg bells. There really is magic in opening up with the ABCs.
Leaving the kiddo with the grandparents tonight and doing a date night with the Mrs later, so this may be all the training for today, outside of a possible run.
Been eating well. Got to get some Hawaiian BBQ, In n Out and Jack in the Box. Been a solid confirmation that my fast food addiction has changed. Zero compulsion to binge, and I typically donāt finish what I have. I eat until Iām satisfied. I do still struggle with a bit too much self-denial. There are certain foods Iād love to order, but seeing the transfats in them just shuts them off in my brain. Iām still trying to find moderation and balance, but Iām definitely in a better way.
And in that regard; weāre hitting up āOn The Borderā tonight. Havenāt been in a long time.
The Member Coach identifier feels new:

Have I just been blind for awhile, or are congratulations in order?
I didnāt even notice
Iāll be fair given the depth of his knowledge and the quality of his advice itās not a surprise.
Iāve said it before there are 4 guys on T nation whoās advice Iād pay for. Pwn is one if those guys. The fact he so freely dishes it out is a testimony to the man.
Well done @T3hPwnisher - well deserved.
Congratulations to the first blue checkmark on the forum! There shouldnāt be very many of these at all.
Agreed. Thatās very cool, and very deserved.
Sweet!!
Just noticed the affirmation -well deserved!!!
Salute to the Punisher!!!
Awesome to see some much deserved recognition for what you do around here pwn. I love it
@boilerman @tlgains @punnyguy @jwlake06 @mr.v3lv3t @twojarslave @carlbm @SvenG Very much appreciated, all of you. I was curious how it would be received, and Iām glad itās all positive. Tim Patterson personally called me today and approached me with this, and it meant a lot. These forums have been good to me and are full of great people, and Iām hoping I can keep contributing well in this capacity.
Got in a leisurely 5k run with the Mrs, then we walked the dog for 1.5 miles, then got in a walk to the grocery store.
Congrats mate and definitely well deserved. Does this mean there will be an āAsk The Punisherā section in the forum?
Congrats dude, thatās awesome! Youāve definitely earned it.
It looks like the one other guy my mind went to also got it. Youāre in good company. (Congrats @flipcollar!)
The first answer to each question is ādo super squatsā.
The 2nd answer is⦠yep you guessed it⦠ādo super squatsā.
Echoing the congrats on the blue tick @T3hPwnisher - great work in here too as always.
Not been in here in ages however popping in to pay my respects
Who are the other 3 big man ![]()
Is it awkward if I do not say you? Regardless and truthfully flipcollar, might stu and brick head.
I will add, this is the list of people whoās advice Iād PAY for. As there are lots of guys I ask and pay attention to (your self includd). But to pay for advice (when you do get good advice free) is a totally different experience.
