Glad you’re able to get some relief while still getting after it!

I am horrible at going slow and resting but it seems to be working. Thanks man , you been putting in hella work too , its good to see !!

 

[Halo]

You’re right about the rest and how tempting and almost instinctual it is to skip it.

I’m try but my subconscious is like be giant I’ve put on 11 pounds and it’s not fat definitely some water but I’ve got zero edema. Belly fat is receding. I’m going to have to make a conscious change need to drop weight. I’m sitting at 287 I’m looking like a strongman guy nothing wrong with that lol just need to get slimmer

Today was a solid day , rubber met the road on main mover. Good focus n drive , bar had good speed on it , this will be a repeat week didn't knock out main mover in straight sets , got in all the reps but had to break em down into doubles n a few singles at the end.

No regrets what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Only weak things break.

Today was a solid day for the time I had to work with. Kids headed down to Laconia yesterday for bike week so we got a house full of rug rats WOOOOOOOOO!

Nanna kept em distracted as best she would while I was lifting and out of the way , every one wants to help and hang out but I get nervous i'm going end up squishing one of em.

Good drive today , focus was ok for the level of activity in the house , fire was there. Got a few more reps on the Smolov work today and the accessories finished strong so I got no complaints.
