[koweanguy]

I was really sick as well for almost 2 weeks. You will come back and crush your goals very soon. Just think of it as a forced deload

Oh I know.... just hate doing “less” than before

Getting sick with the flu is the worst but once you can start eating again your strength
will come back but the best thing to do the first couple of workouts is to do really high
reps and get that pump going and then you'll be back to normal after about 2 or 3 workouts.

Quote of the day that resembles what ya'll went through.. and means a lot to me

[artDDP]

1. Wake up on time and get out of bed.
2. Actually eat something for breakfast instead of just black coffee.
3. Say "no" to something at work, no matter how minor (I take on way too much).
4. Smile at a stranger.
5. Hug my son (this is a bit of a cheat--I do this every day anyway).
6. Go to the gym.
7. Have a good, hour-long workout at the gym.
8. Eat a lean, filling dinner.
9. Enter everything into MyFitnessPal.

[koweanguy]

Mental health has become a huge issue for me. Apart of working, training and studying I'm not doing anything (except for battlefield 1 lol) and the motivation which I had before, has just turned into everyday routine.
Things I did yesterday:
Revised whole endocrynology while working
Hardly made myself go to gym and train, forgot headphones at home and had to listen to some random guys screaming all around

The first thing that comes to mind in regards to mental health is Kevin Malone (from The Office)

The Synopsis:
"In season four when this happened, Kevin was still relatively a normal person, one without parody and mental illness. Sure, while he has always been a little slow in the early seasons, his fiance leaving him was the thing that was able to push him into realization that he is doomed to live alone, save the people he sees at work every day. And what's the one thing he has going for him to these people? They expect failure from him. So he milks it. Oscar and Angela are part of his Accounting family, so they've come to expect his failure in that aspect, and the rest of the office understand him as the guy who says stupid things. They almost expect it. So Kevin goes into an extreme with it, reverting to a childlike state for the anticipated reactions of his co-workers, because, you know what? It's a hell of a lot better than no reactions from anybody ever. Kevin depends on these people, so he will forever be the jester in their court of infinite paper."

Never saw your reply! Sorry.
I'm working out with Greyskull LP. Shoulder mobility issues, so front squats are my go to until I can resolve that and return back to low bar back squats. Aiming for a 2 plate front squat and 3 plate DL in first half of this year. Definitely working hard to get my legs in better condition with heavy lifting twice a week. Chest will be 1X BW around that same time.
Every day target is constant progression of weight or increase on AMRAPS.

Shoulder issues are frequent in this thread
It's been helping me a lot to do cable exercises for mine! Been doing it 3 times a week.
Have you tried experimenting with your setup?
I.e, Larry Wheels (one of the strongest guys in the world) does big jumps when hitting his heavy set. Dude literally jumps from 1 plate squat to 3 plate.. and so forth
But please be cautious of how your body feels/reacts to it!

[backinthegymbro]

I read hanging from a pull up bar completely relaxed helps shoulders a lot. I definitely feel a lot more loose after doing it for 30 seconds a time.
Also making sure to always do rear delt raises and strengthening your rotator cuffs will help prevent injuries too.

[koweanguy]

Daily goals:
1. Reach 10,000 steps on Fitbit.
2: use couch-5k app today as it isn't a lifting day but I have a Spartan run in June.
3: Be available to connect with my daughter as she wants me throughout the day.
Weekly goals:
1: running phase one of reg parks' program that is a 5x5 squat bench and DL 3 days a week. I created a ******** group for other homeschooling mothers in my area to share what they did for their own health this week and will post to there.
2: kickboxing Thursday night with my daughter.
3: couch-5k 2 night a week.
4: continue to run self experiment eating carnivore only to see if my energy stays consistent.

Shopped at Publix today, and it was amazing to see moms so involved with their daughter at a cooking event.
Not one person felt out of place nor awkward in there
Donated to the lady by the entrance that asked for it. Felt good to pay it forward.
And kickboxing

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

Looks legit right there!

The meal was epic.
Kids ate most of it though

NoCarbsNoSugar always posts good looking food. Makes me want to have eggs right now and try it this way.

Thank you.
Eggs never disappoint.

DONE SON!

kudos to me....... now for tomorrow goal

[koweanguy]

Goals for today and tomorrow:
• change home furnace (repairs did not suffice)
• relax, in spite of a stressful week
• spend time with family
• eat at (or close to) maintenance
• go to church
• stay positive, be happy
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Made brunch for the kids.

Family person eh
Reuniting with my mum for the first time in 4 years.
It took too long for me to realize that there moments that you don't even have to like them (parents, kids, brothers, sisters, friends, wife).
But it's still love & family.
And kudos for church!
I am going out of my comfort zone and reaching out to the Indian community here in ATL.
Experience the same religion and the unified mindset of "people over money".

[koweanguy]

PR on squats, Pendlay Rows and RDL
AWESOME day today!

All three??
Haha reminds me of a comment in Larry Wheels' video.
"Only he can PR his PR on the same session"

Meal prepped for the week meaning macros were hit. Was able to stay on track yesterday while out all day. Brought my chicken n rice with me so I could hit 4 solid meals while out.

Respect all the daily efforts man!




F**king love my job and the bond I have with Iovate.
They approved of 20 full tubs of VaporOne to be shipped out real soon for you folks.
And certainly another 20 as the days go on by
Quite possibly more goodies

20 full tubs? I think this might be the biggest give away in a single promo thread ever!
Motivation and supplements. What more can a man ask for?

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

Goals for today:

• 24hr fast
• get a workout in

[danielmoo]

Daaang, respect
Just started reading myself. Big changes in regards to investing (most importantly, in myself) from the books I've read
Does your significant other workout with you?

"It's those little innocuous things that you do over, and over, and over, and over..
That people will FIND and KEEP love. (job, significant other, family, community)" -Simon Sinek


^dude looks a bit like Jim from The Office

Reading is a great thing - I'm sure you'll find yourself just wanting it in your routine from now on. She does not, but she is very active and certainly is fit and exercises in a different capacity as an athlete. Good quote!

That's HUGE!

agreed, I only wish I had more time to devote to it. Over my Christmas holidays I was able to finish a book I had been struggling to get through in my normal routine, and it was so nice to have that time to read. I need to start prioritizing it over some of the other things I do in my free time, just wish I had more free time in general so I could do everything.

[koweanguy]

Cutting the toxic people out of my life.
Win my first physique show this year.

Just be careful.
I had the exact same, radical approach by cutting out all the toxic people in my life.
Although, I've gotten growth in all aspect because of it..
But courage and leadership is "desperately caring about the people whose faces you know and names you remember"
But good luck on first physique show!
What does your supplementation look like on the final few weeks of it?

Goals for today:
Woke up with a bit of a head cold (again). Instead of pushing it with a big deadlift session today, I am going to lay low and get some things done around the house. Push deads to tomorrow.
Drink lots of water and hit macros
Do some mobility/stretching
Get some meal planning/prep done
Hopefully get some sunshine if it comes out today!

Stay hydrated & with electrolytes!
Looking forward to how you dominated deadlift today *if you haven't already posted.. heh

Jan 14

-Meal prepped done (✓)

Actually I finished watching the office for the second time last week :O Even started watching UK version, but didn't like it.

Today I didn't keep up with my ultimate goals Instead of reading, met my closest friend, whom I haven't seen for about 2 months

F**king love my job and the bond I have with Iovate.

And I think vapor one, on paper, is the best pwo MT has made so far.

[gcoulson]

All three??
Haha reminds me of a comment in Larry Wheels' video.

Coming home and having a nice slab of cod for dinnner

[krankphreak]

It does look very well thought out.

[gcoulson]

It does look very well thought out.

It does. On the fence between that and X5 Next Gen and the BB.Com pre-workout which also seems well put together. I have some birthday money that needs spending!

[alicat32]

Had a great deadlift session!!! 20 lb PR belted. I hadn't tried a max belted for a long time. Been working with moderate weights going for rep PRs. So this was a blast!

Also, that is very generous of Iovate to offer up so many full tubs!

And man does it bring memories...
I wouldn't be who I am today (fitness wise) if I hadn't surrounded myself with aspiring Army and Marine friends back in 2011.

We went to the southern Oregon coast. It is about an hour and a half from where I live. Took a nice long drive of about 100 miles of it, stopped for some short hikes to viewpoints. The OR coast is pretty rugged, lots of huge rocks in the sea, cliffs, etc. Beautiful.
Sounds like you had a busy day today, KG! Nice you are hitting those targets. Love that you are staying positive

I can vision myself screaming on top of my lungs at one of those cliffs... that I made it
Thank you for the reminder (page 2, you put "stay positive" on the daily target).

-meal prep for the week
-write at least one review on a product

-rest...........

Oooh, you deal with kids too?
Same here
Feels good bumping into my first batch of students I taught.
They sure are doing big things (i.e, working at Capitol Hill. Entrepreneur in NY). Feels good

I am not that handy, but I always like to learn something new. I have friends who work in maintenance/repairs and I ask for help. When I can do it alone, I prefer that. When I cannot, I ask for help. I also use some online resources.
I made 4-5 repairs on this furnace this week, and after spending close to $175 and there were still unsolved issues, I decided it’s time to stop throwing money at the wind and install a new one.
A friend and I worked unil 1AM last night and we installed a new furnace. The job is almost done. Just a few adjustments left to do, which is always expected with a new installation.
The new furnace is much stronger, though a bit louder , but also more efficient.

Oof, mirin' the close bond you have with your friend. 1AM

[Iluvmud]

Actually I dont.... Ive worked tech for the past 20yrs, I just happen to be good with kids.......... and I took a part time job at the Y where I work out so I took on this class, we'll see how it goes.

-work
-stick to my eating routine (when Im at work the carb load meal can be either off or not at all ) not too shabby..... did eat my breakfast at lunch time.... just wasnt feeling hungry
-Hit the gym and by at my pre illness level so I can move on and up (yeah.... no patience) SO CLOSE!!!! Had one set where I was one rep short, and the final set I dropped the weight by 20lbs, but did more reps and a drop set....the others I might have gone up.....I'll call it a win!
-after work, clean and organize area at my second job (my gym) cause I hate clutter!!!!! Done!
-get some dang sleep and prep for the next day! Going to bed now............................ so there

[krankphreak]

Alright. Today looks like:

4:45am - up, pack for the day (lunch, gym stuff)
6am - work, eat 3 meals and a snack
5pm - gym, shoulder day
6:30 - home. Shower, dinner, time with wife and son, maybe 15 min guitar session
9pm - catch up on Vikings if all goes as planned
9:45 - bed.

I ditched the 4am workout today. I love doing it but I'm toast by 8pm so family time is sacrificed when I do this.
