Had a relatively good week in the gym. Lifted with one of the desk girls and got her deadlifting 225 for 3 sets of 3
The gym I am currently at is closing down, found another one though and it is a little better, just a little busier and I can't use chalk (dammit) - can't wait to own my own gym someday!Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175642411

One of the things I have been thinking about is doing an exercise for each muscle group every day. I think about this a good deal because I used to do it as a gymnast, and I am not concerned with getting huge - just the best aesthetic look for me. I came across an article that was about how to exercise for muscle gain when not on steroids or supplements.
I don't use anything, so the T-Nation article intrigued me. Having said that, I usually find myself disagreeing with T-Nation. Having said that, I am no expert in exercise - but I am an expert on me and what I can handle and should not handle.
So my workouts are going to change and there is going to be trial and error - not in generalities because why repeat what has been done and not glean from it? What I am talking about is taking the sum knowledge of what we all know and going after what is essentially the elusive "magic pill" to all things exercise - doing it your own way because it's the only way that can work for you. Like diet, exercise will take trial and error. There are many variables, of course. But in the sense of exercise I am going to start experimenting.
Let's have some fun.Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175642411

Good work with getting the girl pulling 225 x 3 x 3 ... love to see women doing exercises like deads and squats because they usually focus on form rather than weights and their form is so much better than most of the young guys!
Try using 'liquid chalk' ... no mess and works just as well (it's like a sticky glue)
When you think of the classic physiques in Roman and Greek statues, they were all modelled on labourers as they were the closest thing to Hercules. Whole body work and lots of it and working every day. The trick will be to keep up the volume but without going so heavy that you outstrip your ability to recover. Will be good to see how you go and what your programme looks like"Better to wear out than rust out!"

I have used liquid chalk before, good suggestion and may do it again. I do have straps so I'll stick with those for awhile ... I guess Might by the liquid stuff just to have in my bag in case I do end up using it.

Yes, my gym bag as become a repository for all types of straps, chalks, belts, rollers and knee sleeves. Also as collected a strange aroma
Yeah, being active at work all day keeps you incidentally fit so you can just focus on the big lifts at the gym
Big volume on those inclines and deads
What's your plan for the keto ... macros and timing?"Better to wear out than rust out!"

Wow, been a month!
Fit ... answering your question I am getting about 3100 calories and trying my hand at 70% fats, 20% protein, and 10% carbs
Timing-wise I am just trying to eat but I am consistently eating twice before my workout and twice after
My gym closed at the end of Nov. so I haven't gone in a month. I'm waiting for a new gym to open - which is also closer to me - but that won't happen until after the new year. So looks like I'll be getting some home workouts in again!
I think I'll also start a new log - seems like a good time with a new gym, new workout routine, new ideas, and I'll be purchasing a gymnastics program to start getting into that again.
Stay tuned!Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175642411

So how is the ket going? One month and you should be noticing some changes ... I'd always thought of keto as going lower cals than maintenance but I'll be keen to know whether you're seeing a change in BW and composition, but also how you're tolerating the fatty diet. Are you drinking olive oil to keep up the 70% fats?
Bummer about the gym but you've always seemed to manage some serious working out at home in the past.
Have a great 2018 Pritch!"Better to wear out than rust out!"
