Turning into a meathead- mid life crisis

Going back to my every other day training split for the summer.

Great enjoyment of my carb up. I had rice, bread, potatoes, fruit, pizza, ice cream too.

My weight is 276 after the refeed. Now it’s five days of no carbs *salads, green veggies are ok* but mainly it’s meat and eggs.

Today is a rest day and school is almost out for the summer. I’ve got a bunch of grass to mow this week.

Tomorrow is chest, back, shoulders…

Yesterdays training was arms first, took 25-30 min at most, then about 45 min on legs and calves. Good solid training.

It’s gotten to the point where I can wake up and predict my weight. Nailed it on the dot this am. 275.

It’s chest/back/shoulders today …my legs are still very sore. Seems like the 8-12 rep range makes me quite sore in the quads.

This is me at 275 lbs.
