Pull vs push 2:1 until the end of the yr - horizontal pulling. Shoulders feel rolled in and my back will benefit.
Shoulders - medial and rear delts, no more ohp.
abs - need heavy work.

Not as fat as last week. Everything is going in the right direction.
Wrap up the 8 minute leg blast next Monday. Going to change machines, up the weight and start over at 2 minutes for another 8 week run.

Feel like doing dead lifts. Going to add them in once a week after timed leg press of death. Starting light due to not having done them in almost 4 months. Due to the dots on my eyeballs and skin, blood dripping out of my nose while deadlifting back in Feb - Apr. Cardiologist recommends sets no lower than 8. Something about aortic pressure blah blah blah (I’m on meds for bp). I processed this as new goal of 405 x 8. My best to date is 405 x 7.

Also, desire to tighten up a bit, behavior changes are needed. I have been a total doosh lately. Drinking a shit ton and eating anything. Let’s call it about 85% effort, which, is just fucking stoopid.
Maybe posting this shit will help get me out of my funk. Stay tuned.

working on complete diet overhaul. Less pro, more cho and fat. Different food sources, more of some things less of others (fish and chicken for ex) different meal prep, all of it. Mainly due to boredom and old dude well being.

Your 85% is better than most peoples 150%!

Less pro, more carbs/fat is always a disaster for me. I have become very good at eyeballing pro and fat, but I can EASILY over consume carbs. Of course if you’re good at it, or weighing that’s a non issue.

Plus, I like protein more. Hahha

Nah… I’ve just been at it a long time. Thanks for the kind words.

I was trying to make it cheaper and food prep easier. I now realize that this is a pipe dream. I have already tweaked it over the years as much as I possibly can.

I’m always weighing. I also cycle my carbs - about 250g currently on training days and 60g on non training days. I’ve bumped up training days to 300g and non training days to 100g. Reduced protein accordingly. I have no problems with meal compliance while at work or during the week, it’s the weekend where it becomes a free for all. With football season fast approaching, things aren’t looking good. lol.
