Shane's Over 35 Shenanigans

No you probably saw all of it. I edited the photo right after you commented.

Thanks. I thought it was cool too.

I pay 40 bucks a month for my powerlifting gym. The other gym is 35 a month. Here in Georgia that is about typical pricing for monthly fees. Planet Fitness used to be 10 per month but I think they went up a little bit.

That was a PR on deads. I would have thrown another 5 on the bar but I was using bumpers and 5 plates of bumpers maxes out the bar. It’s a bs PR using bumpers but I honestly didn’t feel like hunting down 10 plates, there were none on the squat racks this morning. Moved really quick though. :joy:

Off work today and heading to Nashville to visit family. My SIL has a peloton so I will try to get a ride in at her house. If not, see y’all Monday.

That’s it. Really wanted 5 but it was definitely not there this morning, hell 4 was tough.

I have ate enough this past month to feed probably a family of four. Stepped on the scale this morning and about fell off it. 268. Wow. I didn’t know I could gain 8 pounds in a matter of a couple of days, I weighed myself on Monday before work and I was bumping 261.

Decided to join the transformation challenge this year for the hell of it. Losing a bunch of weight doesn’t exactly line up with getting a strong as possible for a powerlifting competition but I typically don’t do much that makes sense when it comes to my fitness journey. :joy:

I’ll be dropping my fat photos over there today. They are bad. :joy:

I had steak and eggs post ride for breakfast with a banana and a glass of grapefruit juice.

Family day today, our church is not doing in person service today. Going to go and see Mufasa this afternoon and hit up our favorite mexican spot. Going to avoid my normal popcorn and chips and salsa and just go for the movie and some steak street tacos.

Mufasa was good. For those of you with kids it’s worth the watch.

Proud of myself as I made it through the weekend and didn’t gain any weight. Yay.
