Yeah - been CEO of my company for 2.5 years - first day was my 35th bday. Have about 200 people in 20 offices around the world.

Well, thanks for making me feel like an under achiever! Iā€™m 33 and Iā€™m a patrol officerā€¦which is where you start as a police officer :joy:

283

Youā€™re saving lives and protecting the community though. Iā€™m just trying to earn my investors a return!

284

I always told myself that Iā€™d rather be poor and happy than rich and doing something I dislikeā€¦ But there are days where I reconsider my choices lol!

Well - slipped on ice and tripped down stairs today and my back is jacked. Can hardly stand or move. We will see if tomorrow offers improvement. Damn it. First day in next 20 travel free and I throw my back out.

286

Update - still bothering me - but am going to try stationary bike and some isolation arm work today. The fall may have strained an intercostal or damaged a rib as well.

287

I missed this. Sorry for the bad luck. Recently some bozo posted a thread about the proven methods to get big and strong and asked why everyone isnā€™t walking around jacked or swole. In the past week Iā€™ve seen two logs where people have run into stupid life problems such as this. Perfect example.

I go under the knife next Wednesday so Iā€™ll possibly be worthless soon. Iā€™m hoping to implement 5/3/1 methods on machines lol!

Good luck to you. In some ways looking forward to starting new year as a beginner and may try more bodybuilding style - we will see.

All weekend long had mobile EEG to see if we can learn more about causes of my epilepsy, so no workouts. Today:

  1. Bike 150 calories
  2. Superset for 20 minutes
    Seated Machine OHP with 110#
    Reverse Lunges with 50# DB in each hand
  3. Climb 7 flights of stairs with 55# KB

Probably did about 75 reps each of Press and Lunge. 7 flights of stairs with a 55#KB was BRUTAL after bike and lunges.
