Good to see you back Shane, my condolences on your losses. Ill be checking in here from time to time for sure. Myself I am still lifting, but I have pulled back a bit on how I do things, I cant keep up with the Joneses here, I am contemplating restarting my Journal, but with a focus on achieving what I need to do for myself and not worrying about numbers or what others think.
Lets do our best to class up this joint!

Nice work in here Shane
Just to catch up: are you getting away from things like heavy singles or 1-3 reps range stuff, and heading more in the volume range?
I noticed this: "Chest supported DB Rows" How did you find that?, I tried actual bench rows last year, because I heard that it was an exercise that Rowers used, I resorted to placing a 2x 10 with some padding across the safeties on my rack and did it with a bar, I had mixed results...couldn't quite get the feel for it., maybe with DBs i would get a better result.
Anyway nice to see the work pile up. Hopefully the Covid has moved on in your area with no bad consequences for you and yours
BTW what the heck happened to Trent? hope he comes back.Please record my time/reps if I pass out
-
07-10-2021, 02:45 PM #1896
I am getting away from doing a lot of heavy single girls now. Mostly working in the 8-12 rep range except on squats and deads. Deads I am doing 5 rep sets, and my last squat sessions I did some triples. I plan to move back to higher reps on squats as well though.
I really like the chest supported DB rows. I use an adjustable bench set on the same number I use for inline Db bench.
I think Trent, like myself got burned out posting here. He might come back but this place is pretty sparse right now. Idk, maybe the new year will will bring some with resolutions back to fire up some journals.

What are your goals now Shane?
Lots of changes and adaptations for you this last year and you used to be hyper focused on losing weight and conditioning. I'm not intending on being a d*ck but you were chasing the 230's not too long ago and I see the current weight...
I had my weigh on yesterday, I'm now down to losing fat consistently and have lost 28 lbs. in 3 months. The gym has only been open for the last 2-3 weeks and I'm not looking for any congrats neither. We're in this together with similar goals. I'm chipping away at mine and winning, and I want you to meet your goals as well. Because you deserve it.
-
07-11-2021, 12:46 PM #1898
I appreciate you coming by for support. That’s awesome you have lost those 28 pounds. I know how tough that is. I still have the same goal. I got sidetracked and ate pretty much whatever I wanted. Lots of holidays, birthdays, etc. I can walk around at 250 daily no sweat. It seems to kind of be my natural size. I really need to be be 230 though. I taped my naval today and it was right at 41. That’s not healthy no matter how I cut. I seem to lose about an inch every 10 pounds so getting back to 230 would be about right.
Still headed to the beach middle September. I would be happy with anything in the 230s by then and I have my macros and cals set to drop 2 pounds per week. I know it’s dumb, but I need to see the scale drop significantly to keep me motivated.
I weigh in every Friday and will definitely drop off my weigh ins here to stay accountable.

Hey Shane, Nice big volume of work done here, hitting things from all sides. So you must be back at a public gym?
The weight loss:, I am suffering along with you myselfDid really well at the start in April...not so much lately. I do really well at work where there is essentially no food nearby so I just bring my lunch. There are no snacks unless I raid somebody else's stuff....which has been tempting . At home different story, just too much opportunities at night and the weekend to "graze".
What beach do you go to? Is it a resort?Please record my time/reps if I pass out
-
07-16-2021, 11:44 AM #1903
Thank you Alan. Yes I am back at a gym again. I still do some work at the house. Deadlifts mostly and ride the peloton and the tower.
Yep, diet is always the toughest part.
We go to Rosemary Beach in Florida. Not a resort but we love it. We stay at the same place every year but a different condo number. We love the beach and the condo has a beachfront restaurant attached to it. Perfect little getaway.

Nice workout on Sunday Shane. It's good to see you back on here too. I just came back too for some of the same reasons you said. It's nice to be around other like minded people...really helps with the accountability.
If in doubt, squat and run hills. So you walk into the gym and don't know what to do? Then squat and run hills. Have a miserable day at work and want to break someone's neck but aren't sure who's? Then squat and run hills. - Wendler

No woosh, no biggie. Keeping cals the same this week. If I don’t have a good drop I am sure Carbon will drop my cals back.
No workout today. Going to take a day off. Have a great weekend everyone. It’s going to be in the 90s and hit here. Plan for me is to be in a pool for most of the weekend.

Today I quit planet fitness and have moved over to a Gold’s gym by my work. It cost triple the price but it’s worth it. With this I will have a lot more toys to play with including squat racks and bb not connected to Smith machines. Plus the have all the HS plate loaded toys.
With that I plan to rearrange my lifting days since I don’t have to deadlift at the house only on the weekends.
My home gym will probably start collecting dust but I will still get use out of it from time to time and if another lockdown comes I will not be caught without a place to workout again.

With this I am going to run 531 on squats and deads and run a higher rep Bodybuilding style upper body routine. I should meet my goal of 3PPS for the year on squats as long as my knee holds up.

Good sessions there Shane
Weight is headed in the right direction! I used the "Happy Scale" app for a time a couple of years ago when I was tracking, I found the 7 day rolling average smoothed out the trends so a bad day on the scale (Mondays for me usually ) did not throw my focus off.
Smart idea on moving to the Golds, I guess if you want to get something done you got to have the right tools. I would like to return to a gym...but I wont be hedging tho....I am thinking of selling my stuff (other than the rowing machine) once the pandemic is in the rearview mirror. The gym that I did a winter session with a couple of years ago had plenty of gear that I cant afford, and I can still do power cleans and snatches, the five squat racks were the most unloved things they had, not even the bro's there used them for curls....just this crazy old man here doing squats and SOHPs.Please record my time/reps if I pass out

Thank you CPW. Yeah, the scale really has been my worse enemy this year but progress, even small amounts does seem to help.
I hear you on selling off the gym equipment. Mine really is collecting dust at this point. I hesitate to sell it though because it is always possible that the gyms might actually close again. I have nightmares thinking about tracking down gym equipment again and how hard is was to find equipment to build my pandemic home gym. LoL.

I ran into Trent over on T nation.
Edit to add again. Figured out the forum issue.
Moving on over to T Nation.
Those who follow along here feel free to come along.
Alan and not sure where Greg went. Hopefully he is ok out there in California with those wild fires.Last edited by shaneinga; 08-11-2021 at 12:20 PM.
