Ohio gyms open May 26! I don’t know what the rules will be yet, but I love the news!

That rocks! I’d guess they’ll start by only allowing in some percentage of max capacity at any given time, but maybe Ohio’s governor is less of an unreasonable tyrant than New Mexico’s.

Seems to be the trend. And face masks I’m sure will be part of it

Great write up about the program above mate. Thanks for taking the time to write that all out. Awesome

Yes sir!

This makes me want to run reactive pump just to give it a shot. Was thinking of running more BBB Challenge to push strength so I can get bigger but…do like these kind of workouts. Don’t see any conditioning programmed which is more my style too.

It’s a good one to try it out. He typically does not program conditioning, although he has pretty simple recommendations on YouTube, which isn’t always a bonus for me, to be honest - I have to be disciplined enough to decide to do it.

Wow… finally worked out again. House is on the market, though, so that’s good.

Hotel gym. Will do this kind of thing and start a program next week (Sunday or Monday most likely). Ohio gyms are open!

I’m really fat, so the focus is getting my eating habits right again, being consistent with cardio, and just getting the reps in. The changes will come, so I’m not going to overly stress unless I’m still over 210 after July 4 - at that point I’ll need to dial it in.

Warm-up: 5 minutes elliptical.

A1. 3 sets cable chest press
A2. 3 sets pull-ups

B1. 3 sets KB step-ups
B2. 3 sets DB side raises

C1. 3 sets cable push-downs
C2. 3 sets cable curls

D1. 3 sets KB calf raises
D2. 3 sets BOSU crunches

Exfil: 10 minutes elliptical

As a random aside, I read the bio of the Black Rifle Coffee Company founder and boy do I feel like nothing.

Some more nonsense this morning.

In: 10 minutes elliptical

A1. 4 sets cable row
A2. 4 sets DB incline flyes + press

C1. 3 sets cross-body pushdown
C2. 3 sets DB hammer curl

D1. 2 sets calf raise death
D2. 2 sets V-ups

Out: 10 minutes elliptical

My eating is pretty solid this week so far. Just resetting habits.

Accepted an offer on the house and I’m about to go do a leg day and just jump into a new program (High Evolutionary). I’m going to take the opportunity to go really light and try to use all muscle and no joint on any lower body work. I typically try this but don’t always do a good job sticking with it.

I’m also going to change my log title for no reason. I’m waffling between “Tr3yningBrah Confessions” or “The Dadpool Files”. Both amuse me.

That was quick, congrats!

Dew it!

I also remembered I need to reply to your excellent review of Meadows’ programs and methodology. Will commence shortly!
