Iron meditation - my journey

[George2100]

I have decided to start my own training log! Lifting is my form of meditation. When I’m training, my mind is focused only on the task at hand. Come on in and join me on my journey if you wish! Nothing but positive vibes! My training style is heavily influenced by the golden era bodybuilders. My father was into bodybuilding recreationally during the late 70s and early 80s. He is the one that wrote my earliest lifting routines. I still follow them to this day!

[George2100]

the logs followed my training and prep for my shows.

[George2100]

That is awesome! Just looked through a bit and noticed how many actual lifters used to be on here! Lol

[deltpecx]

Yeah there were a bunch of us.

Eventually I added music selections also to the logs.

[George2100]

Nice! I was jamming out to some 80s synth wave during today’s session. Had my neon yellow stringer and shorts on with the bandanna to match haha

Thinking about showing up to the comp with a beastly moustache too! Lol

My logs were not only about training but also about expanding people's music knowledge/taste.


A mustache as we rocked in the 1970s?

Deltpecx and Samraiwise are top tier! I'm just a youngin' trying to grow up to be like them

[George2100]

Ayyy rest day today. Tomorrow is legs. I like to take a day off between back and leg day. Also, I figured I might as well add my diet to this log.
Yesterday (back,bis,forearms) was a “medium” day.
Kcals- 2300
P- 225g
C- 170g
F- 80g

Today (rest day) is a “low” day.
Kcals- 2100
P- 225g
C- 75g
F- 100g

Tomorrow (legs) will be a high day, I’ll break it down tomorrow!

Adding the macros could be helpful to others.

Do you mean percentages? I don’t go by that, but I can explain WHY my P/F/C are what they are on certain days if that would be helpful!

A little bit of outdoor posing again today. Putting on a show for the neighbors! Haha
I’ll update later with today’s workout/nutrition

Quarter turn


Front relaxed


Back


Possible T-Walk poses

[deltpecx]

Quarter turn

This is a better looking quarter turn.
The top one would be better as and angled "full on" front pose.

Front relaxed

This looks good as a front on pose.
Your waist doesn't look wide.
Just twist the right hip back a bit as you did in the quarter turn pic.
I think it looks better with a bit of a twist of the hip

Back

Getting leaner. Good separations.

Ahh yes I see what you mean about twisting the hip. Do you think I could get away with that for the front pose? That would be nice.

Also...crazy to see those pics from a few weeks ago! I seriously didn’t think I looked much different. Now I can see a difference, very reassuring! Haha
