Notes: Another rough workshift. Came in at 3 hours of sleep. Showed up on the topset, as the axle got all over the place. I have hopes that not grinding reps today means tomorrow I’ll really have something.
Cheat meal today was the $5 Box at Taco Bell, which was a giant order of nachos.
I really enjoy following @T3hPwnisher 's log, but what I really enjoy is seeing his cheat meal choices. Never disappoints, and often is very different from what I choose.
@Frank_C Nachos are just the perfect food, haha. I’m excited for you too. That sounds like an awesome night.
@IronOne Hah! I feel pretty mundane honestly. I get stuck in my ways, as I’m easy to please and typically working with a time budget. I DO miss Jack-in-the-Box though. And good mexican food.

Notes: 12 was the goal, and I met it. Head wasn’t quite in the game, and I imagine that’s a result of yesterday’s fatigue. Still, very pleased with that effort and how the cycle is progressing.
Deload week starts and will end with Murph on Saturday.
Thanks man. I’m built to pull, and reverse hypers have really made my lower back just about invincible. Going for so many reps also makes my form get plenty stupid, haha.
No real typical on it. When I’m really pushing them hard, I work between 8-12 reps. I stick with primarily plates and quarters, and once I get through sets of 12 with everything, I add more weight and start over. This next training cycle, I’ll have 4 plates per side.
@dagill2 Man, relying on that would be the ultimate fat loss diet, haha. I went and bought my own damn nachos, since I had $5.
@mortdk Much appreciated dude! Happy to say I am both of those things, haha.
@mr.v3lv3t I genuinely have no idea. I prefer not knowing, because then I don’t run into the temptation of calling it more weight than it really is. Much like the guys with bands that say things like “1415lbs at the top” and get stapled by 500lbs. I know it’s MORE than barweight, but that’s about it.
PM WORKOUT
Track run w/21lb vest
Distance: 1.5 miles
Time: 1:45 first lap, 8:12 mile, 12:57 1.5 mile
Notes: With my first Murph workout in 6 days, wanted to get in one practice on the track before gameday. Unlike the treadmill, I’m not forced to keep pace, and I dropped off some here, but it also meant I wasn’t dead at the end.
I’m absolutely hammered from yesterday’s workout. Left hip has locked out on me twice today.
Yikes. I did it a couple years ago sans vest, don’t know that I could’ve done it with one. I haven’t really been following peoples’ logs lately, so maybe you’ve already mentioned this, but why are you doing it? Just for fun, or the cause, or work?
This’ll be the third year I’ve done it, having starting in 2017. Just been a good tradition, I like the challenge, it gets me back in running shape, and I like how it pays tribute to a hero. My work is putting on a workout of it, which is what I’ll be doing on the 18th, and then my wife wants to do it on the Memorial Day weekend, so I’ll be doing it then too.
Didn’t realize that the Murph was that insane, but knowing you, well I would say of course it is that stupid
How do you do the pull up/push up/squat first pull up then push up then squat or is it just get it done, like in a circuit?
