1 Bench Press (115) 4x6

superset
2 Front Squat (135) 4x8

I’ve decided to keep squats relatively light for now. Going to push for heavier weight on the leg press and hack squat. It just causes me more discomfort than it’s worth and since I’m not competing for anything, I’m OK with not pushing it.

It was Taco Tuesday last night. I decided to have a big taco salad first (no shell) and IF I was still hungry, I’d have a crunchy taco. But, I was content with the salad.

Hmm I wonder if my roommates would accost me for drinking a cup of warm broth in the morning.

Took a few days off to head up to Lake Tahoe for a couple of nights. Not much snow fall there yet this season. But, managed to find a bit for the kids to play in. My “must have” when in Tahoe is Base Camp Pizza. This is a 1/2 Base Camp and 1/2 Chicken Thai Curry (my absolute favorite!)

Used to work for a bison ranch. All the paleo people bought all of my bison stock…

And make your own if you can. It’s not that hard. Especially chicken or turkey broth.

@JFG
Bone broth is different than just making stock or regular broth. You have to slow simmer for a very long time for all the good stuff to come out. I think it’s like a 24 hour simmer. Something like that. I hesitate to leave my oven on overnight. Probably could try it in the crock pot. But, just seems easier to buy some. =)~

Went to the gym a bit later in the day than I usually do and as luck would have it, had the opportunity to meet a female body builder. We chatted for just a few minutes but she offered me her phone number and said we could lift together sometime and/or meet up outside the gym for coffee or whatever. Just meeting her has me inspired.

I’ve been eating a lot of crap lately. I’ve been very stressed and I know I don’t sleep enough. Not making excuses. But, I’m very guilty of using food for comfort. All of this is just disastrous for fat loss. I need pull myself out of this funk I’m in. I do have to say that I like the mass I’ve added to my quads. Thank you, dirty bulk. :grimacing:

Don’t get it.
You post all that nice and healthy good looking food.
And then suddenly: Confession time: It’s all fake, I eat junk.
Hahahahaha We all get there from time to time.
You will be back in the game sooner or later.
Keep posting that delicious food.

Ha! I like to keep it real. =)

Part of the reason that a log like this is helpful. I see the pattern. I see that I am consistent AF with training and a total yoyo when it comes to diet.

When I’m right in the head, I can handle a treat in my day and stop there. When I’m not right in the head, I lose my self control.

I have made a couple and think I only went to 3-5 hours…I got the marrow but apparently I missed some stuff.

I still remember the first time I got pinned under 135 and this huge trainer dude giggled as he helped lift it off.I was such a noob. KEEP GOING!!!

You’re actually really strong!

Sorry to hear you’ve been stressed. Embrace the dirty bulk life lol.

I actuals envy your son! You’re food is delicious.

Um, wow…

Anything over a plate a side is damn good for the majority of females.

I tried a new brand the other day and this is how it looked when it came out of the jug…
I’ve read that good bone broth is jiggly and gelatinous.

Yes, I got pinned once and I’ve been conservative on the bench ever since. This was a good confidence boost. Helps to have a spotter for sure.

Thanks guys!
What’s “damn good” for females on deads? Cuz I want that too ! :grin:

Thank you! He only appreciates the donuts and cheeseburgers.. it’s torture when I give them my “healthy meals”. lol I’ll feed you any time you make it to Northern CA! :wink:
