Thanks M_g, yeah I am not putting too much effort into the weight loss thing lol. Right now I think I am still sitting around 225-230. I will continue to cut slowly and un-methodically to 215-220. If I get somewhere in that range I will decide if it is worth continuing.
Alright, for anyone still paying attention to this journal thing, I am headed in one of two directions on Monday:
I am either headed down to Florida with some contract work we might get for clean-up efforts.
Or I am headed up to Maine for a job we have up there.
Either way I will be up in Maine this year for the actual job we have going on up there. Just depends on whether we get the contract down south that decides how long it will be before I get up there.
I only bring this up because if I go down to Florida, there will be atleast a 2-4 week time where I probably won't be able to workout. It just depends on whatever they are going to have us doing. Kind of hoping we don't get the contract lol.

Well good news and bad news
Good news is I found a place to workout
Bad news is that it's planet fitness lol
It has no barbells other than fixed weight up to 60 pounds. The dumbells only go to 75 pounds and there are 4 smith machines. It does have a great selection of hammer strength machines and a dip/pullup station. I did a full body workout today that has me sore as hell now but I am going to miss free weight squats and deadlifts

HEEEEYYYYY YOOUUUUUU GUYS!!!
Been out for a long time, and that is all my fault. I could make excuses but the fact is I mostly just dropped off the forums for a while.
As for the lifting I have been mostly consistent with the exception of about 5 months at the end of last year. Had a few nagging injuries that held me back and my work was sending me everywhere from Georgia to Maine to Hawaii. Now that those little injuries are mostly gone I am getting my strength back up and hopefully advancing beyond where I was.
Also in the last couple of years I bulked up to 265-ish and had some fairly good numbers which were(if you are interested):
Squat: 515
Bench: 375 (always a weak lift for me)
Deads: 635
Press: 275 <---- Yes strict
Now my numbers are way down from these as I current sit at 210 pounds with these numbers:
Squat: 385-405 (this lift took the hardest hit)
Bench: 305
Deads: 555-ish, I got 515 for a tough triple a couple of weeks ago so "555" is where I think I am at
Press: 205
Thats it for now. I got a couple of vids from the last couple of days I will post up as soon as they finish downloading
