Sounds like a nice sunday.. Got back from legs about 930. Ate , praised my pits for "watching the house" and now screwing around on puter. Rare lazy day here for me. Pretty good leg session. . T

 

[thebrick]

Last minute change of plans for me... I decided I needed a rest day. I've been hitting it hard for weeks so I think I can use this downtime today... + this happens when you get older lol

When you are able to just chill after a leg session, life is good.

I hope you didn't break a hip getting out of your crafmatic adjustable bed lol :sFun_tease2:

Just some cardio for me today.

I learned a valuable lesson as well, E-C-Y and DayQuil DO NOT mix...especially before cardio haha. My heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest during my intervals.

 

[turbobusa]

That sounds like a plan . I know when I need one .
Been cooking good steaks today on the grill.
Some just relaxing time is good . Not decided if chest shoulder tri tomorrow or tues. See how i feel when I get up. Gotta say I strung together the most consecutive really good works than I have in a long time .
Feel really good. Have a good one tonight and morrow T

I bet your heart was pounding!

I did manage a good 30 minute walk outside in the fresh air, just so I wouldn't feel too guilty

 

[turbobusa]

I know I said be back tomorrow but I'm killing time waiting for the grill to glow.
Yep another steak.. and rice.. T sometimes those that are always in a sprint
all week needs a day to do as one pleases. Thats my day today...T
Thunder46 take a day? T

 

[turbobusa]

Turbo, what kind of steaks do you get? Grass fed? Do you go right to the butcher or farm?

I've been sad the past couple of weeks as the farm that I go to for grass fed beef hasn't been processing any beef, just pork and lamb. WAHHHHHHH!

Has the feeling of loving training again been something new? What do you think brought that love back? Having that feeling is incredible. It seems to help bring everything else in line as well, at least that's how I feel. When I am training good and loving it, I see a carryover effect in other areas of my life.

I can't wait to bust out of work and get to chest, shoulders and tris! My goal by the end of this week is to hit a bodyweight of 160. Yeah, I'm a fuckin' meatball...

 

[thebrick]

Turbo, that is great to hear! Just enjoy!

Atom, sounds like you are enjoying it too. That's a great spot to be in.

Had a very good chest workout today. Man, my training partner is BUILT for bench press (declines). I can't push the same weight he does. It seems his bar is moving about half what mine does. Keeps me motivated though! I'll bury him tomorrow on deadlifts.

Nice.

I know what you are talking about with depression. There were various reasons that brought it on, but I dealt with it through most of my teens and into my 20s. I was hopped up on meds until this past year when I got so fed up with the side effects. Since I stopped the meds my life has turned around. I am loving life, enjoying training and back dating again (yeah, the sexual side effects of the meds killed my relationships).

Anyway, back on top of my logbook today. I normally don't wear cut-off shirts when training, but I was sweating my ass off and took off my top layer. I got some interesting looks... definitely not looking like a bantamweight anymore

The forums kind of give me a break from the daily grind and chance to connect with people that share the same lifestyle. It is strange because it is so anonymous, yet so personal.

Turbo, I'm in Baltimore, but just put in for a tour at Ft. Gordon, GA. If I get selected, I'll be heading south..if not, I stay in MD at my current job. Although I want the experience in GA, I do enjoy living in MD and wouldn't mind staying here.

Today is my off-day for the week. I'm almost done with my MBA and have been taking classes at night and on Tuesdays my schedule is packed... uhhhggggg

Good morning ya bunch of gym rats! Great stories. Life ain't easy, and if you guys are like me, the weights are like my "release" from all the stuff and stress that comes our way.

Looking forward to some back after lunch. I'm starting to get fired up.

I don't have any close friends that do what we do. They don't even understand it.

I agree with you Atom, sometimes I feel as if you all (guys on these forums) are closer friends than my "real" friends! You understand why I need to lift heavy, eat big and make progressions.

Afternoon back workout was a home run baby!
