Got to the gym, started getting going got a call and a text saying "pastor, we are waiting on you to start ..."

Never good when you totally forget about something like that

So workout at home later tonight!

I was late but got there when needed!

Did a quick arm workout with some hanging leg raises at the parsonage tonight. Not too much, just enough to get dat der pump.

Even though I got in the gym this week it hasn't felt like a great week. Post Easter recovery I guess. Mentally I just haven't been with it this week. Probably the thought of the extra job. Ah well, I will acclimate.

**pastorpritch** · 04-29-2019, 04:38 AM

Started working at the gym this morning, long story short it has a lot of potential

Great to hear! Looking forward to the details as you acclimate. I spent much of 2017 & virtually all of 2018 with my main job being a trainer. Now, I'm back in the restaurant business and 10# heavier.

I'LL BE DIGGING INTO THAT SOON AND HOPEFULLY CAN HELP BOOST SOME OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE GYM BY GETTING IT CLEANER. LOTS OF LIGHTBULBS OUT TOO.

**JohnButz** · 05-01-2019, 06:52 AM

Doing good work, both with your training and revamping the gym!

**pastorpritch** · 05-01-2019, 08:48 AM

Thanks man!
Now that I am slowly getting my diet in line, I am starting to see the changes I want. I wasn't eating near enough what I should have been before.

Nutrition is so crucial. Now that I'm back in the restaurant business, I have a way more consistent schedule and access to way more, and better quality food. Have a great day Bro!

I WAS REALLY LETHARGIC AND TIRED TODAY. YAWNED A LOT. I DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH COFFEE AS I USUALLY DO AND I THINK I WAS STILL A LITTLE TIRED FROM THE LACK OF SLEEP OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. IT COULD BE THAT I JUST NEEDED A LIGHTER LEG DAY BUT AT LEAST I GOT SOMETHING IN TODAY. I NEED TO START GETTING BACK TO THE WHOLE' ANNIHILATE IDEA AND PUSH THROUGH ON DAYS LIKE THIS!

**pastorpritch** · 05-07-2019, 10:30 AM

Back on track for this week and next, but then third week travelling to niece's graduation. So that will be a week off. Then first week of June another week off.

It's hard to stay consistent when the schedule doesn't allow, however I'm not letting life circumstance get in the way. It's just stuff I have to do, and with a home gym I can at least get something in. I'll likely incorporate GVT in the home gym workouts, or the 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 - whatever that's called (which I do like better)

**pastorpritch** · 05-09-2019, 07:29 PM

Got a good chest workout in and back workout in, same stuff as last time but with a little more weight.

Did an evening back workout tonight.

Real busy lately and barely getting the workouts in. Hoping to get legs done tomorrow

**pastorpritch** · 05-25-2019, 08:31 AM

When I've been away from the gym for awhile I end up thinking about new routines or things to do since I feel like I am starting over again.

Looking at my schedule, it looks like I can only, really, commit to 4 days consistently. To me that would be upper/lower split. Here is a basic rundown, mostly so I can find this later

1A Upper HEAVY (Weds)
Chest (BB, Mach)
Back (BB, Cables)
Shoulders (all three heads)
Bi (BB, Cables)
Tri (Bars, Cables)
Forearm/Wrist (BB)
Abs (Upper and Lower)

2A Lower HEAVY (Thurs)
Quads (BB)
Hammies (BB)
Calves (HS)
Obliques

1B Upper HYPERTROPHY-PYRAMIDS (Friday)
Chest (DBs, HS)
Back (Mach, Cables)
Shoulders (all three heads)
Bi (DBs, Mach)
Tri (DBs, Mach)
Abs (Upper and Lower)

2B Lower HYPERTROPHY-PYRAMIDS (Sat)
Quads (Iso HS, Mach)
Hammies (Iso HS, Mach)
Calves
Obliques

**Filmbuff81** · 05-26-2019, 07:33 PM

I’m sure the new routine will serve you well.

Inconsistent schedule is tough as heck; I feel your pain on that lol.

**pastorpritch** · 06-10-2019, 11:29 AM

Thanks man ... about feeling my pain especially

In the gym today, working, then will get a workout in. Hoping today starts getting me back on track!

**whatevergirl** · 06-13-2019, 06:38 PM

Hi - Decided to start updating my journal again...until I don't want to....again.

Change is inevitable. Looks like a good workout plan above. Life sometimes gets in the way, but just keep after it.

Hey, you should join the "Jesus is the Holy Spirit'' thread in the R/P section.

**pastorpritch** · 06-16-2019, 08:23 PM

Yea, same (about the journal)

I will check out that other thread, thanks

And yes, the only constant in life is change. Looking forward to getting back on track this week

**pastorpritch** · 06-21-2019, 03:02 PM

So, not quite back on track but getting closer. I portioned out my meals to make things easier on myself, and have gotten a couple gym workouts and a couple home workouts in

Thanks

It felt great!
And you have a great weekend too, Happy Sunday!

**pastorpritch** · 07-06-2019, 06:48 AM

Sorry it has been so long. I had another tooth pulled (got my wisdom teeth out a couple months ago) and this one is right on the sinus line - in fact the dentist could see it after he pulled the tooth out. So I haven't been doing much lifting because of the pressure - it can knock the plug out :-O
I did start walking yesterday though and had a good stretch afterwards. I'm going to start doing 2 miles a day and stretching afterwards. I need to get rid of my tire around my gut and back!

**pastorpritch** · 07-06-2019, 05:12 PM

Just did another 2 mile walk with stretching afterwards. I am already more flexible than I was yesterday

**pastorpritch** · 07-22-2019, 05:49 AM

Alright, so working at the gym as actually prevented me from working out. I've only been getting in about one or two workouts a week. Now that I have been able to right some finances, I got a membership at my old gym. So time to get back to it!

**pastorpritch** · 07-23-2019, 04:58 PM

Finally got back in the gym

UPPER DAY

HS Chest Press || HS High Row

HS Incline Chest || HS Shrug

HS Shoulder || Bent Cable Rev Fly

CGBP || BB Curl

**pastorpritch** · 07-31-2019, 06:07 AM

So Thursday night my sister in law died very suddenly - accidental overdose. Folks, if you are having a hard time dealing with stuff, get off the meds! Then talk to someone, anyone. Be a great person, but don't hold that stuff in.

So I've been in Va for the week until Sunday with my family and won't be working out much. See "ya'll" next week

**HomeGymChains** · 07-31-2019, 06:11 PM

So so sorry to hear!
Praying for you and your family.
