Well I ordered everything today. Wow that was an expensive day. $315 for two months of HGH blue tops, and $697 for my MRI on Friday. Don’t usually blow a grand in a day lol.
In other news the workout today was freaking awesome. Felt unstoppable!

Well, I’m about to buy tires and shocks for my Tahoe. I think It’ll be a little under a grand but your spending sounds more exciting.

Wow the weights coming off quick. Saw the money got drafted out of my account this morning for the HGH so should have everything in 3-4 days. I’m pretty excited to get started on repairing all my issues. I’m leaning towards doing the hernia first as the recovery will be much quicker. Once that’s all good I can lift upper as usual while the ACL heals.
Today’s training will be shoulders
Barbell OHP
Dumbbell OHP
Neutral grip dumbbell OHP 3x15 on all
That alone gonna smoke me
Between the leg cable front delt raises
Dumbbell front delt raises
Cable rear delt reverse flys
Lateral raises
6 way self finisher
Diets been spot on this week. Feeling really good. Haven’t gotten to that always hungry part of the cut yet. I really find that splitting up my meals through the day helps a ton. No matter how hungry you are you’re at least always a few hours from a meal.

Thanks sleepy! MRI on Friday. My thoughts on surgery are changing though. Was gonna try to knock out both before the end of the year. Now I’m thinking wait till January. Then I’ll have my deductible met for the whole year, and I’ll have been on HGH for two months prior to surgery. Hope your well

Damn I was hoping you were far shorter than me. It seems I have alot of muscle to put on and fat to loose.

It’s crazy when you look at that first pic, and think you’re only a big glass of water, or a big shit away from the same weight, but look so much bigger. Great work.

Well no training happened yesterday. Since this is a pretty annonomous place I’ll share…
My wife and I have been in a pretty steady state of decline over the last year. It’s not one thing or another it’s simply we aren’t loving each other like we need to. She needs more encouragement, I need more fun and passion and the endless loop leads to a boring sexless relationship. I could go into more detail but it really doesn’t matter. We’re pretty broken at the moment.
I’ve been messaging for a while with an old friend who’s been in a rough spot. Started off innocently enough, then got more and more flirty, and finally she made it crystal clear that she wanted to have an affair. I didn’t shut it down right away like I should have but instead told her I wasn’t ready yet. She’s super pretty and I didn’t realize how all of the sudden some attention from another female would make me feel. It was like being in college again. I’d get so excited every time I’d see something come in from her but at the same time i knew I was wrong and guilt was there.
I was really pretty broke up and decided to ask my wife to have a sit down where we could both be completely honest. I spilled my guts and so did she. Lots of tears and a very difficult conversation but at the end of it all we have decided to give this thing another hard push and try to be proactive about improving our relationship.
Don’t know why I’m sharing all this really but it feels good to get it off my chest. I apologized to the woman I’d been talking with, saying how selfish I’ve been thinking of my self first and not my wife or her. She was upset but kind enough about it.
Currently I’m still feeling sad/guilty bout the whole thing but happy that we’re gonna try to fix this. Hopefully we won’t fall back into our old patterns again. I know a few of you guys are followers of Jesus, and would appreciate some inclusion on your prayers.
That said I’ll be doing the shoulder workout from yesterday today

Best of luck with that, man.
I’ll not venture into relationship advice other than to say it’s possible to turn something that feels negative into a positive (whether that be you & your wife using this as the push you needed to improve your relationship, or if it turns out to be the final wake-up that it’s time for you to move things another direction). It sounds like you’ve done the “right thing” at this time, and hopefully whatever direction this goes, you’ll all end up better for it.

Inclusion in thoughts and well-wishes hopefully count for something.
For what it is worth, I consider the way that you handled it borderline superb, and I’m not certain that if it hadn’t played out the way that it did it would not have resulted in that sit-down. I.e., the thing you are feeling guilty about — I’m presuming — is conceivably the flirtation etcetera. but had you shut that down immediately despite feeling the way that you do/did about your relationship then it might have just led to the continued detriment of that same relationship.
Wrong or not, the outcome, namely sitting down and talking about the relationship as you did and the result of that, viz. another hard push, reads to me as something overall very positive.
Have fun with the workout yeah, and now do I not only consider you a champ in the diet/weight-room but in life too (well, I kind of already thought that with all the Ninja Warrior stuff) but on a more personal level.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. That means a lot. Just gotta keep fueling everything positive and keep my nose clean. I’m sure a good shoulder workout will help lol

Hey brother. Sending prayers and following your log now. I know how you feel. My wife and I are in dire straights at the moment. I wish you the best in all your efforts.

Thanks man. I’ll keep you in mine as well. The hardest part in any conflict is the fact that to move ahead one of you has to be the bigger person and take the high road. The high road offers satisfaction and resolution after a bunch of pain and the low road offers instant gratification. Ugh! Guess it’s kind of pizza vs weight training lol.
