Thanks for asking, things are going better’n not. I’ve been consistent-ish and have plans to start a version of washed-up meathead again. I haven’t seen your most recent posts; how’s your calf doing?

Tiring week so less volume (and serious stomach acid while deadlifting :nauseated_face: ) but this workout felt good. I’m strongly considering starting Washed-up Meathead next week, the first of May, and possibly doing the Simple Deadlift Plan for the deadlifting/main lower body exercise progression. LISS will happen after upper body days.

After more than a year away from landscaping I’ve recommenced it, so gym time will be limited to a few days a week. Meathead should dovetail perfectly without draining me.

One month ago, I weighed 211.0, back where I started the 2021 T-ransformation. Last Sunday, I weighed 206.6. My first waypoint (weigh point, heh) is 200, with a longer-term maintenance goal of 195. I’m neither ripped nor rotund at 195, which will be a reasonable compromise for me.

Fin. Took a page from @ChickenLittle and did “something” instead of “nothing”. Each day might have its own lifts, namely whatever I feel like doing, until I iron out what I want to accomplish.

I think we all want to be no pain, no gain people at heart. The only problem is… we can’t always do that. Our bodies won’t let us. You have had some major health issues. It’s okay, to not be okay. BUT! It’s not okay to drown in the pity pool. Sometimes we have to make adjustments and do what we can when we can. As long as we keep going.

Oooh new log title. I am sensing some big effort to be shown in here.

You’re right, I can’t exercise as frequently or intensely as I’d like, or even as much as I could in my 30s. Part of maturing - and aging - is learning our ever-changing abilities. That said, even a small effort, like stretching or mobility work, keeps us looking forward and taking action each day. Our mentality/ attitude benefits, which becomes a positive attitude-action feedback loop.

Small, consistent steps that lead to large-scale outcomes :+1: And a smaller output on the scale :joy:
