Focused on Time Under Tension today ~

I cracked 219 today. Even after dinner. This is a major mile stone after only making a half ***** effort for two years after a few avoidable injuries, that have all healed. Finally under 220. For over 2 months I was strict on diet Monday through Friday. I really believe you can shrink your stomach and intestines by eating less volume. And I think I’m there now. I’m going to stay dialed in on diet during the week, with some weekend piggery. No more gaining 10lbs over the weekend. After July 4th. I will return to the gym. Aiming for 208. My traps, shoulders and neck all got too thick. d**n you genetics. 

Who else is making it happen ?

...so that’s what the elusive rear delt looks like.

Knocked out what will be my last Total Body Workout for a while.

Always enjoy this style of training but it's time to switch it up as this one has run it's course.

I'll be transitioning back to a 3-Day Split of Legs - Push - Pull 

starting this week.

Stay Safe & Train Hard

Finished this morning's leg training with a new-to-me core exercise.

I think I like it.

Three Working Sets of each exercise today.

Kept the reps in the 10-12 range.

Leg Training IS the Great Equalizer ~

And as my humanness continues to mature,

I hope I can keep this going . . . .

Redefining oldness, one workout at a time.

After over two months of strategic starvation, I went back to the gym today. My workout was weak, slow and less than 45 minutes. Easing back into it. Now, to focus on not making my traps, upper back and neck so big. I was at big and tall sizes just to fit into a shirt. I have gotten rid of a lot of it, by changing my form in the first half of 2021, before my weight loss break. God willing, I will overcome my genetics. Weighed in at 216 today. Much better than the 229 I was stuck at. That was about 13 pounds off from diet alone. There is absolutely nothing worse than losing weight from diet only. But I finally dropped most of the quarantine weight. Aiming for 208. I hate going back to the gym after time off, because ego lifts make for a high likelihood of injury after sitting around doing nothing for 10 weeks. Must resist the urge.

I'm starting to think that I will never be old enough to know better . . .

Might not be the load that breaks us down,
