[HARRYBEAST]

nice work!

Thanks man. You all healed up now?

[penny0527]

You hit a lot of PR's for being short on time

Your eating plan has a pattern. How is it working out right now? Are you still trying to drop weight or just maintain?

Detailed Version
Other than waiting for the cage while this tool bag banged out 10 sets of upright rows, it was a pretty good session. My depth was not the best on some of these though. I need to focus on this more next time

That is the idea to have a pattern. I am not actively trying to lose or gain. Last few weeks I have lost a few lbs during the week and then gain it back on the weekend. My weekend game is still sketchy at best.

I eat PRs

[bmgamble]

Bench prs looked very solid. Congrats on the bonus set and squat prs. Moving right along.
Didn't realize it was National Row-In-A-Rack Day?
Sorry about your Bengals. I was pulling for them.

Thanks man

Man they couldn't do anything right. They earned the loss that is for sure

I took a call from Erica and we had an argument that was super stupid. This threw me off and I couldn't get focused again

As stated above I got a call from Erica between these sets and we had a dumb fight. I am more pissed that I let it effect my training than anything. We made up right after the workout and have no put a rule in place to only interrupt training if it is super important. I learned the lesson that getting angry and amped up does not help my training

We have a similar rule. My wife never calls me, but she'll text me. That way I get to decide how important it is. Sometimes I put it in airplane mode, but that is mainly when recording video so it doesn't get cut off. But i've been there before and it does suck when you're mentally locked in and then it hits the fan.

Yeah the argument itself was so stupid too

[MatTheCur]

Yeah the argument itself was so stupid too

This happens from time to time. Doesn't happen AT the gym, though, because by the time I leave she's in bed.

But it's happened BEFORE I've left for the gym, ruining it for me and having me stay home.

[penny0527]

Being mad doesn't help my training either. It fuks me all up mentally.

[bigwade800]

I used to thrive on the anger...there was a time in my life the gym was my only refuge from the world. That has certainly changed, as much about my life has.

I try to remain as focused as possible, especially meet prep training and then deal with it after...easier said than done.

[Anthony21]

At least you guys aren't at home having to deal with it like me seeing I have a garage gym when it does happen haha.

Good lifting Harry and way to stay with it given the argument with your wife.

[JSClen]

Thanks man. You all healed up now?

pretty much

[Fawnl]

Well, ffs Harry... You could have told me you had a new log. No wonder I couldn't find you...

I like your new BS section

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Stupid fights are stupid. Did she call you after the several bottles of wine and doing yoga that she posted on IG? LOL


We've had several in the past 10 days....mostly about what needs to be done first. Of course, I am always right. Until I am wrong. We have done out best to understand we are stressed and laugh it off. Moving sucks!

Except we will get rid of 15 years of accumulation....haven't used that in 5 years = give it away. What is that for? I don't know = gone.

High class problems.

How much zinc are u taking a day?

[HARRYBEAST]

How much zinc are u taking a day?

75mg. I take 25mg 3 times a day. I just started this week.

[muruku]

75mg. I take 25mg 3 times a day. I just started this week.

Any reason for such a high dose? Are you deficient in it?

[HARRYBEAST]

Any reason for such a high dose? Are you deficient in it?

Hopefully Wade, my coach, will see this and explain further. It is mostly to keep me healthy (not get sick) but it also is aids in recovery, but mostly I am taking it because Wade reccomends it

[muruku]

Ahh ok, just wondering bro cos the upper limit's 40mg. Personally just started supplementing with it myself because of its immunity boosting benefits..

Crazy front squat btw!

Awesome training man and congrats on the multiple PRS.
