my goal is 200lbs and lower body fat. I’ve got 20lbs to go but the muscle is coming on good. TRT has totally made me better and gave me my life back. I’m motivated like never before.

Spent the past three days in the mountains with my kids and wife. No internet, no tv, no distractions, no work just some trout fishing, smores, saw a mama black bear and two cubs, and a herd of elk. We did have a hot tub at our cabin so that was nice. I drank half a bottle of EH Taylor 4 grain bourbon over those three days. ****ing living life man. I need to do that more often.

On to the daily grind and my workout summary for 4/2/19:

Pull Day:
4 sets each wide grip, shoulder width and reverse grip lat pulldowns supersets with tricep pushdowns and overhead tricep extensions.
4 sets of Single arm cable rows and narrow grip cable rows.
4 sets of dumbbell rows - last set dropset
3 sets of bent over barbell rows
3 sets of preacher curls and drag curls
4 sets of behind the back barbell shrugs to failure
100 weighted crunches and 15 minutes on the cycle pedaling my ass off

Yeah it was a good time. Caught some nice rainbow trout and ate well. I did go HAM on the bourbon but it was worth it.

Cardio day today. 1 hour of sprints and walking on treadmill.

222lbs this morning


Physique wise, my shoulders, traps and lats are coming along good.

 

[The Tater]

Rest day today. My knee was giving me some pain. I think I will be doing cardio in my knee sleeve for some additional support.

Today's work - incline dumbbell press (4x8-10), narrow grip bench press (4x8), cable crossovers high, low, middle (4x8-10), tricep extensions and pulldowns were supersets with push ups, 4 sets of arnold presses, 100 weighted crunches, 10 minutes cardio on the bike.

220lbs this morning and eating on average 1750-1800 cals per day. On back and chest days I try to eat more carbs and less fat as it makes me feel better. Running a deficit still makes me drag ass all of the time though.

Today’s workout: drag curls, wide grip lat pull downs, single arm cable rows, shoulder width lat pull downs, dumbbell rows, dumbbell shrugs, preacher curls, bent over barbell rows, dumbbell lat raises, 100 weighted crunches. Went home and ate a little something and then ran two miles in my neighborhood. I’m toast now. I’m doing cardio abs and calves tomorrow and pushing leg day to Monday.
