1 Year to leave "Do I even lift?" Status.

[Gibb1991]

Damn did not post at all during Christmas eh? Das not it. And I was still going regularly.

Started the Carnivore month yesterday, no real reason why it just sounded like an interesting thing to do and see how I feel. Today was a chit workout but it's because I slept 4-5 hours. Not the end of the world but did do something new.

Most importantly I did 3 sets of HIIT on the Air Stream for the first time. This might be the goat cardio machine.

[Gibb1991]

Poor neglected log. Workouts have been solid lately. Started new job, and although it's not really that different from my old floor I feel way more tired lately. Still going to the gym. Went 5 days in a row this week which is actually kind of a PR in itself.

Tues:

Elliptical- probably for a while

Squats
-Know that I worked up to 185 for several sets of 8. It's not strength that is holding me back it's knowing that I am near the edge of pain due to old injuries. Worked on from and felt good

Walking Lunges

Leg Curls

Stiff Legged Deads
235 lbs for sets of 6-8 was juicy

Wed

Elliptical

Thurs
-Actually such a weird workout because I was meant to get up at 5 for work but woke up at 2 am for some reason and couldn't fall asleep so at 330 went to the gym.

Funnily I rushed this workout because I'm waiting for my landlord to come over and fix something in the apartment, but was pretty goat overall. Traps are sore af today which is something that I haven't had in a while. Good to be dead lifting relatively seriously and pain free again.
