Ended up spending some time with kiddo yesterday and threw of my lifting and feeding time, but it worked out. Managed to get it in saturday:

Bench: Feet UP! 295x4x6 Little harder
Dips and Curls(fucking love my shiney dumbells)
50lbsx12 and 45x12s for rounds.
DId some 3 minute slow blocks on air dyne between stuff too. PT yesterday also kicked my ass, was rushing to get that done cause I had to interview someone at work on a video. I suck at interviewing. Especially when it's for a job i kinda sorta half want for myself. Can I just clone myself and do both? I wanna do all the fun stuff.

Have a good weekend all. Have some vegan/vegetarian friends coming for game night tonight. I'm like. um. I'll make you popcorn. That's it. Here drink my booze. I can't even make the vegans blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis. I suck at vegan hosting.

Sorry to hear about the additional surgery. How long until the last one is 100% and how long until the next one?

After seeing the pic, I specifically wanted to ask if having those beauties made you want to do curls all the time.

Thank you for addressing this important topic.


ETA: oof, sorry to hear about your hip. Good luck with surgery/rehab

Technically oct 8 is 3 Months and back to sports. Currently feels a bit off still but I’ve heard 5 months to feel good and 9 so squatting now and I’m happy

Oct 28 is next surgery. Nice to start 2020 w great joints I guess.

Down and back to the city, 3 miles of walking and a 10 minute cat scan of the left hip. Wait and see for surgery in less than 2 weeks. Here we go again! sigh

feet up bench
315x4x4 slows. Funny how sore i was from monday. Good to get it done!
SSB- 80? I can't math these 10x3. Noticed without a belt I got tons of fear and couldn't get anywhere close to parallel Odd that.
Deadlifts -ohio deadlift bar - 135x5, 155x5 ,175x5 , 225x5 Felt awesome to pull 225. Odd how legs feel different now. Like i felt asymmetric. Oh right cause I have totally different bone structure left to right! Deads felt very very weird. I haven't pulled in almost a year motor pattern idiot here!

Super set 10 minutes
dips 50lbs pull ups, and 30seconds air dyne. Getting that pump ! Swole after this wow.
curls. Cause chrome bells. Love me some curls

Back at it.
Monday: Bench and BFR curls and lte
Thursday: Bench and BFR Curls and pull ups
Bench:
250x5x5 Feet up!
5 minutes 40 rpm on airdyne

Girl I was dating stopped responding. I use the word dating loosely here. Went out a couple times with a friends neighbor. She's rather beautiful but a little too arsty. Had to set expectations that I was happy to hang out but not interested in dating, even if she uses polysyllabic that I love and seems smart and empathetic but just too artsy. Still chasing the girl I dated over last winter but she is not having it. Also considering a plant based diet for the next month since friends that run a gym are working on marketing. Figure a month cut to add to their marketing success stories will give me a fun personal project. I can't drink for another 2 weeks so that helps.

Left hip feels really good, better than the right. Who knew. Maybe I retore the right when I was seeing the one girl? Whoops.

BFR training is crazy. The pump and soreness is incredible on this stuff. Headed out to get king crab today with a buddy. Figure, got my work rating this year and it's good to celebrate milestones.

Monday getting it done.
Bench Feet up: 245x6x5 easy easy
Pull overs: bar 3 by 12. Except this are not great to setup. may have to eschew them next time.
Chins: 5x5
airdyne, BFR, 6 minutes.

First day with no meat. WTF. Dairy for the win. One month challenge. I feel like i'm going to drop weight fast, macros seem low, which means calories low. Veggies every meal is also... NEW. Needed a change though so see how this goes. Brocoli for breakfast? WTF.

One full week of being Vegetarian. Huh. Down about 5 -8 lbs but that's not so much anything other than calories.

Bench: Feet up: 285x4x4 easy. Nice.
Chins: 6x5
Reverse curls, BFR pump; i dunno 3 sets of ouchy

airdyne 5minutes start 5 minutes end.

Feeling tired, but also energized. Maybe I'm just low cause i'm bored but lifting felt good and nice. Hard to tell. That dark winter quiet and alone is hard to deal. Been playing video games to check out.

The saga continues!
Last week didn't manage to get a last lift in before week in vegas. A week, that coincided with me being off mends. Jump off the wagon anyone? Love my sales people.
Even better, girl I've been chasing who's been quiet and non-responsive for months busts out on Sunday "can we go to florida?" um. Yes.
Back Friday, avoided hang over so Saturday:

Feet up bench:
305x3x5 get it done man!
airdyne, chins

Sunday: Buddy came over and I expected to have a workout but was a rest day so

Feet up bench: 135, 225, 255, 265 triples and stuff. Just moving things and doing what buddy wanted.
Then Curls and airdyne

Real Lift Monday:
Feet up bench:
305x3x5

Dips, occlusion bands, supa set reverse dumbell curls. Ouchy ouchy

Air dyne
and look, it's a snow day today and another bench day? Jesus.
