Root's mediocre return to lifting

[Root]

I turn 40 this year, and my plan was to do a meet and beat all my previous PRs as a "master" lifter. Maybe even get on a podium or something, since I'm no longer competing with 20-somethings. So I decided to take a few weeks off in January to heal the accumulated bumps, bruises, and fatigue, and then start my meteoric rise to super-duper strong 40 year old Root.

And then I went and took two and a half months off like a dumbass.

Here we go again...

Welcome back!

Thanks! I'm desperately in need of some consistency, fitness-wise. Feels like I need it now more than ever.

Same. It's the only part of my routine still hanging on.

Welcome back.

Also struggling with consistency after a break, and also the madness in the world right now.

Let's be accountability buddies.

3/29/2020 - Cardio

Weighed 237 this morning. That's light for me, probably just due to lost muscle.

20 Jump rope -> 2 chins -> 4 burpee

10 rounds of that, EMOM, 30 min total

Haven't checked in here in a while. Still a beast, I see.

And you have a new log, I see. I mostly only follow threads on my notification list and check occasional threads I see in New Posts so I missed yours for a while.

I assume you're as handsome and meat savvy as ever?

Not sure if serious.

You probably comment in too many threads for it to be useful. Any thread I comment in is automatically added to my subscriptions. When I open Exodus, I just click my notifications to see new posts in those threads. I have to manually unsubscribe from threads I comment in and don't want notifications.

The only email notifications I get are when someone quotes me. I do this so I can keep up with conversations in real time-ish.

[Allentown]

Totally serious- I know about the notifications when someone quotes or mentions me, but that's it...

I definitely haven't gotten MORE handsome.

Pretty sore today from that 3x3 ab wheel. Crazy.

[BenM]

The ab wheel is evil. Such punishment from such a small cheap tool.

Mine is buried in the cupboard. Where it may well stay for a long time....
