yeah Ron... eat my veggies, been hearing that my whole life
Thanks Andrew... this hasn't been easy, and I am shocked and proud of myself for sticking with it this long. I went way out of my comfort zone, and I still am. From the recent rash of injuries, to the constant drum beat of sh!tty form... yet I am still here. The weight drop hasn't been my normal fasting and dropping quickly, with the bounce back after 6 months with added pounds tacked back on. Eight months into this and I am still plugging away... speed bumps and warts, and I haven't given up... its good to be me
Thanks Caractacus... and glad to see you are hanging tough with your nagging injuries!
Thanks Doc... I am hoping to find me a senorita hottie
Thanks Andy... I am hoping I can stay the course, tired of the derailmentsMaayo ang adlaw karun

Andrew highlighted one of the most important aspects of this lifestyle in his post.
Always remember Moose. Whatever the weight you are incrementing or lifting.
Your workout is always better than not turning up at all.
Your persistence during troubled times is what separates the winners from the losers.
And you my man. Are not the latter.Ride it like you just stole it.

Total burn 879 cals
I started out the day by skipping squats and DL's... after I finished OHP I decided to backtrack and attempted a few things anyway, just to limber up that PITA hammy. So this is not the correct order, I'm lazy and like cut-n-paste
Squats
Did just BW goblets

1x15x45
1x10x45... good form, no body/back lean, slowed it down got a good burn
OHP
1x12xbar
2x12x65... felt strong, good form
RDL
Empty bar, low and slow with 5 sec pause at the bottom to stretch the hammy... actually felt good, hammy more limber
DL's... nervous to try any weight, not push my luck, so I kept it very light and slow.
2x12x95... happy with the outcome and very happy I decided to do something even if it was a PANSEY weight!
Seated Rows machine, chest supported narrow to wide grip motion
3x12x85
Back extensions
2x30x265 Full Stack
Face Pulls
3x12x70... after watching a video I really dropped the weight and changed my form, felt good
Reverse Flys
3x12x85
Inner/Outer rotations
3x10x30 inner/20 outer... shoulders feeling tired
Tri's rope pull downs

1x16x70
1x9x70... tris dying

Thanks bro... squats... mentally I will admit I am scared of injuries now. The pirifukthis and the hammy issues all came from squats, plus its my worst form of all my routines and crap light weight that is heavy and awkward for me... I really hate them now. I've got to find some sort of victory with these sh!tty squats, and soon...

Hey nice lifting Moose. Good job giving the hammies a stretch before the DLs! There's nothing pansy about the weight if you are coming back to a lift and trying it out. You are still training the movement, stretching some muscles and getting some good joint mobility. And you are training your back too even with a light weight. I'm planning to do some lightweight DLs soon too, coming back from my back problems

Moose man check out Kelly Starett He's a Physical therapist and he owns a crossfit gym in SF. His mobility vids are great. I'd take it slow if you try these and not go full boogie on them the first time but work into them they will help you get past the injuries and get your squat better.

hey Moose
the numbers on the bar are irrelevent - unless your competing or going for a world record or something, in which case they are important
good for you getting back in the saddle on both squats and deads - at least next session they will not cause you as much anxiety as hopefully todays session got that out of the system for you.☻/

Thanks Vic
Thanks TTB... I lost count of the RDL's with just the bar, but they felt really good and I am assuming they were good for me. I might just do these as a part of reg' stretches.
Thanks Shane, just trying to keep up wit ya!
Thank you Ron... I will check this out later today, lord knows I need all the help I can get!
I never did a late day cardio sesh, and the hunger was already on fire... crazy stuff!
I wouldn't have it any other way Ron
Thank you Steve... well I got rid of SOME anxiety
Thanks Andrew... I should have made TWO of them burgers... such grub!!!!
Thank ya!
Yeah Bingo... now if I will listen, that's the tricky part!
========================================
Morning cardio at one of the funky tiny locations much closer to the home, diff equipment and they hit the legs in diff areas. I think the change of pace was good for my legs.
Resting HR this morning was 52... I have a athletic healthy heart shoved into a fat can... its a start. Speaking of... its getting noticeably more difficult to get the heart rate pumping, especially from a cold start and not after lifting weights.
Cardio morning sesh 42 mins @ 614 cals
Afternoon sesh planned... time will tell.Maayo ang adlaw karun

Sweating
I do some LISS and HITT, sometimes all LISS just depends on mood and the music im listening to... I use the bike and one of my fav ellipticals that really increases height like to a stair level. I can really increase the resistance, plus I like how I can feel the difference in the legs going forward and backwards.Maayo ang adlaw karun

LOL... if I don't have headphones on I can't do it... gimme my music AKA some angry rock, and I get lost in the process and find myself most times with something let if in the tank (excluding Monday's that are my heavy day- those days are just tough)
HITT I am doing less of the real intensive stuff... I do vary my speed and resistance and my HR goes in between burn & burst... then I will drop back to the burn level. I am good with spending a bit more time on the elliptical to burn some good cals, vs. killing myself
=========================
Cabo Wabo Countdown
58 days
Weight266.4 lbs266.0 lbs Feeling heavy and bloated this morning... thick like a brick, what'ev
Goal 252 lbs
Sunday rest day... and I had a wild hair! I never do anything gym related on this day and I woke up tired, but something in my skull kept bugging me to go... cardio bike-ellipt split... 62 mins including 4 mins of cool down @950 cals
Absolutely famished after doing this on a sleeping fast... hearty b'fast of 4 eggs, country potatoes, bacon and half an english muffin with some strawberry jam... and I drank water like a fish! 2 carafes full + one glass... body must have been dehydrated but didn't feel like it was, and I wasn't drinking out of thirst, just felt like drinking it... gut feels hugely bloated now (DUH)
Edit.. part duex
13 mins on stairway of death (42 floors) and 18 on cycle, Cycle was light cuz that stairs really hit my calves and legs. The stairs jacked my heart rate up pretty easily, this just might be my new fav machine to hate... thinking I need to do this at least once per week. My TickrX app does not show cals when using the stairmaster, so I put it on treadmill. I have to have cals tracked, hate guessing.
476 cals... I'm smoked and soggy
(1426 cals on the day!!)
Overview
In my opinion this was a good day, odd... but good.
Starving after first cardio sesh... ate well... drank more water, not much coming out.
Later in the day had 6 oz of roasted chicken then headed out for the 2nd sesh... mo water, some stretches, and not feeling hungry one bit.
After the cardio drank my Isopure with 1 cup of mixed berries.... soon I will have a 1/3 lbs sirloin, guac, bacon and 3 egg burger on multigrain sandwich thins.
If late night hunger hits I have some slack... but I do not understand how I can retain so much water, hardly peeing... sweating it out? Educate me...
Side note... getting out of the car and making a twist my right hip popped... not like a knuckle pop, but like something shifted and realigned pop. I didn't feel any pain, but I could feel the movement... I did notice less piriformis pain almost instantly, does this make any sense?Last edited by MooseTequila; 08-09-2015 at 05:04 PM.

Nice, very nice. You burnt up some serious calories on Sunday. I see you took to the stairs - my favorite post resistance machine. Got you going, did it? lol You'll sweat buckets on that b!tch if you keep with it. Intervals of death on that puppy. I could NEVER do cardio without music in my ears......never.
Way to keep at it Moose.Last edited by DocJekyll; 08-10-2015 at 11:54 AM.

Thanks for stopping by Jonny... stuck no more, renewed vigor and focus for a trip coming up
I dunno bout that... I'm pretty sure the fat has a few hiding places
thanks Doc... legs were feeling a might tight this morning. I woke up 2nd guessing all of the extreme cardio before my new hybrid cycle start today, but all was OK. Dem stairs, a def' love/hate relationship...
Thanks Andy... they ain't easy and I guess that's why I hate it so much!

59 days
Weight266.4 lbs265.1 lbs
Goal 252 lbs
AP Hybrid cycle 2,3,4,5
Week 1
Day 1 Heavy'ish
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde stack. I tried only 1/2 scoop of each... fail, did nothing, but I wanted to test it first. Next time I will do 1 scoop of each and hope that I don't die (would hate to miss my Cabo trip!)
Cardio Schmardio
Death stairs... we have 3 versions of this machine and I tried a newer looking one (I like much better) Sucker ripped me a new one! After 5 minutes I was dying trying.
13 mins on it included 4 minutes of cool down FML! I picked hills, when it kicked it up 1 notch and I was hanging in there, a 2nd notch I called it, HR was in burst mode for almost 4 mins at that point. I am amazed at how this targets my calves too! I have to step flat footed to save them.
Cycle... I tried to knock out 20 mins, got only 15 mins including cool down... quads screamed "No Mas" or there will be hell to pay.
[b]28 mins and 440 cals... no friggin 2nd round of cardio today... legs thrashed!
Squats RESET way-back to cycle 3 to work on form
BW goblets
2x8xbar... really making sure hamy will cooperate
2x8x95... no hamy issue, bummed I could not vid form due to excessive gym rats today. It felt good but that means nothing as I have learned.
Piriformis... still feeling much better after hip "pop" yesterday. I am thinking I had some sort of impingement that cleared itself... actually I am clueless as to what it was, just happy (so far) that it happened.
Bench Press...RESET back to work on form
1x8xbar
1x8x85
2x8x165
Curls... RESET back to cycle 3 to work on form, elbow feeling better
1x8xbar
2x8x55
OHP Cycle 5 new high weight
1x8xbar
2x8x80... felt strong, good form
DL's... Cycle 5 new weight
skipped any warm ups, felt squats did that already
2x8x175... very happy with these, felt easy (I will pay for that comment!) One problem, I will need to buy gloves, lost a partial callus and both hands sore at the palm ring finger area. Other than that it felt good and hamy was a moot point!! YES!!!
2nd set
Seated Rows machine, chest supported narrow to wide grip motion
3x8x115
Back extensions
2x30x265 Full Stack
Face Pulls
3x12x80... shoulders were feeling sensitive, so I backed it off 10 lbs. I will run this weight.
Thats it stick a fooking fork in me... I feel good and gassed... I like it!Last edited by MooseTequila; 08-10-2015 at 01:55 PM.

Every time I read your cardio. All I think of is Pratharian and his prep for the stage a year or so back.
Makes me feel sick and jell at the same time.
All that is missing is talapia 5x a day with broc and rice. Lol.
PWO makes me itch. So I avoid it at all costs. No tingles for me.
Your gonna smash the weight target at this rate. If your calves dont fall off.Ride it like you just stole it.
