Oh come on, you're already the creepy guy that can't turn his head, has hands that look like they're shedding skin and offering candy to girls.... What other step can you take?

 

So never done anything like this but would love to do one before I'm 40, so 2 years, just hate that I have a bum shoulder now and makes things a little harder but still want to try and complete one.

 

Damn man, I'm really sorry to hear this.

 

Sooo I found a hole in the wall gym while working out of town and it’s fucking awesome. Old school.

 

I finally went back to the gym after 3 months... back to struggling with 225 bench

 

225 is heavy-ish tho. I can only rep it about 6 times


Alsoooo

~8 months into this journey and got a job back on the road for 4 weeks. It’s presenting its own challenges but lately I’ve been struggling with cravings. As weird as that sounds.

I see or hear about a badass place in town and want to try it. But then there’s supposed to be a badass BBQ place down the street. And then there’s awesome breakfast cafe too

I want to try all these places since I’m a food lover. Like I will drive hours just to try food from a recommended place.

But only one cheat meal a week makes it hard. I just want to take a break from this fitness and diet life and go crazy and eat everywhere but that’s the start of a downhill spiral.

Kinda in that weird middle phase where I’m not trying to be a professional body builder but I also do want to look good and it gets hard with some choices on when you should stay strong and on the diet path or when you should relax and just live a “normal” life.

 

Eh, most people in a gym can bench 225. I want to get back to 315

 

I find that it's much tougher when traveling/away from home. I think of it as more mental, that being away from familiar makes the brain think that it's easier to cheat it. Also when you're just driving around exploring its always tough for me as I want to stop and grab something just cuz I'm driving by it.

Careful and slow start it. You're getting old and you break easier.

 

I agree. So today I had a big cheat meal breakfast and plan on starting a hard cut tomorrow. I hope being on a cut mindset will make it easier to resist.

Plus I’ve maintained around 185-187 for a few months now so I wouldn’t mind dropping a little weight again anyway.

 

My max squat is trash. I gotta skip arm day and triple up on leg day lol

Im gonna start hitting them hard.

Bench- 285
Squat- 315
Deadlift 385.

I could probably bench and squat more but didn’t want to fail without a spotter or in front of people lol

 

That chick squats 495. I think deadlift over 500

 

You're almost at 1000lbs club!

 

I’ll get there soon. I could probably do it now if someone spotted me on bench lol

 

All I want is to hit 500 deadlift. That's it

 

I struggled with mine lmao.

 

That face lmao

 

No one would hve ever seen that face if you dodnt post it

 

I know but it’s fun to laugh at yourself. Plus that was heavy weight
