Hey @anthonys735 appreciate you breaking down how easy meal prepping is. Got my ass in gear.

How do you prepare your sweet potatoes? I’ve had them before but never made them myself, other than cubing them up and grilling them wrapped in foil on the BBQ

 

[anthonys735]

Lol. Typically just microwave them for 3 minutes in a wet paper towel. Rotate and mic for 2 more minutes.

Made my typical ground beef but mixed with my favorite Buffalo sauce. Mixed that with white rice. Fire.

Went to the doctor yesterday and was told "Whatever you are doing, keep it up!" That's a nice change of pace. This year is the first year I've stuck with the basics for more than just enough to lose a few pounds and hit a temporary goal. It has been a game changer across the board. My mood, marriage, and bloodwork have been the biggest benefactors thus far.

I turn 45 in approximately 18 months. I will probably take some time before New Year to set a select few goals I want to hit before that day. One thing I know is that from now on I will be doing full body weight workouts three times per week, walking as much as possible, and eating like an adult until I leave this mortal coil (or go on vacation).

Now my shoulder is hanging because I'm a dumbass throwing catch with G. I know better and still did it. So no press shit for a week or so.

Brax was ahead of time on the girl style elbow throw.

I hear you Anth. I somehow according to a really good physio ended up with a rotator cuff injury that I don’t remember receiving. Haven’t been able to do pull ups comfortably for like 4 years before seeing this guy and finding out what was wrong and getting on a plan.

Today:
Run
Physio
Skull crushers
Overhead press 195x3 x 5
Seated dumbbell curls 65s x 6 x 3
Good Mornings

Nice and quick!

Since end of summer, been doing a full body rountine 4x a week. With the addition of a trainer last month, paired it down to 3 days - push, pull, legs. Absolutely murdered the stems for the first time since August and have to say, I’ve missed the soreness of sitting down and standing up from the commode.

Least amount of days lifting since I really committed to it 20 years ago but in short amount of time, see the benefit of less is more when going heavy.

Plan on running this routine as closely as possible until March, then move to split body parts to chisel.

Legs today.

Aga stopped me in gym this morning and says she wants to do a full video of me for the insta. I politefully declined. Not yet anyway.

 

[Kooky Kats]

This is quite an entertaining video

I started doing a 4 day split where I hit most muscles twice. Monday I’ll do 4 sets for chest and then Thursday, I’ll do 2 more. Reverse it for shoulders, etc

It’s really just cutting out the junk volume

Gainz the last month have skyrocketed. Getting very close to a 315 incline bench.

Baby boy is 3 weeks old and I’m down 25 lbs. lol. The precipitous weight drop seems to have leveled out which I’m actually glad for - I was dropping so fast the first 2 weeks I felt lightheaded. Sitting about 15 lbs above pre pregnancy weight but I’d like to keep additional weight loss capped at 10 lbs. I was a little light right before I got pregnant and it made it tough to recover from workouts. That’s going to be especially so once I’m cleared given my broken sleep and all over the place eating (or not eating, I have NO appetite).

Cannot wait to be cleared to get back to lifting. I’ve resumed some core activation drills and mobility and contemplating some light banded work (good mornings, etc) starting next week as long as things continue healing. If it were warmer I could take lil dude for walks at least, but if it stays chilly I may be putting him in the baby bjorn and getting on the treadmill. 😆

Do you need a stroller muff/bunting, @pretzel__logic? I’m happy to send you the one we’ve outgrown.

Thank you!! We actually got one - I just haven’t test driven it yet. I’m admittedly a smidgen paranoid of little guy getting too cold. (Which is silly, probably, because he’s an oven just like me lol)

 

[anthonys735]

We got all kinds of shit. Please come get it. 87 strollers in all makes and sizes. 97 high chairs in all shapes and sizes. Lots of toys. I'll throw in a few kettle bells.
