Lift Heavy. Eat Clean. Repeat.

This is my weight loss blog. I'll try to keep it updated. I might even say something witty and/or profound. Who knows?

Made it to the gym after work tonight. Felt really, really great. Got a bit of tightness in the back still and it started to hurt as I was running around loading up bars and such. Did some good mornings and jump rope for a warm up. Actually had one of my coworkers and his girlfriend come in as I was finishing up my Oly session. Did 45kg on the Clean & Jerk and then hit my Strong Lifts (Squat/Press/Dead). Wouldn’t have taken me so long to get out of there tonight if I hadn’t got caught up chatting tonight. But that’s alright, haven’t talked with the coworker in a couple weeks because he’s been off on vacation so it was nice to catch up. Was absolutely drenched in sweat tonight. Tried to keep the intensity up.

This past Friday I hit a nice little circuit couplet that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. 5 rounds of a 20 yard prowler push at 150 and the bear complex at 115. Then went for max reps of squats, press, and deads in a minute at 115. That’s kind of difficult without a partner.

Got a wedding to attend in 4 months, gotta keep hammering to look good for some photos.

When you've got worthless "guard dogs" you've gotta take matters in to your own hands. #sbr #morepew

Honey wouldn't stand to be neglected so she pushed Titus out of the way for me to pet her.

I'm "blogging" more via a shared google doc. It's a project between friends who are like minded and working to get fit. So, followers, if you're still there this thing is about to get a lot more active!

Been feeling pretty wiped out lately. I’m guessing it is probably a caloric intake issue...still working on that. I’ve also been experiencing some pain in my lower back when I run. The longissimus dorsi and spinalis thoracis have been not very appreciative of my running the last few times I’ve been out. Tonight I took it relatively easy...just did a few pose running drills and ran some light 50m sprints. I only did 4 sprints. My back actually started to spasm a bit. I got it back under control and am now home with a heating pad on it. Popped a few Ibuprofen as well. Tomorrow I’ll foam roll it out a bit and probably skip running tomorrow night after work.

Changing up the work out plan for the next 6 weeks or so. Need to be more time efficient in there and still get plenty of sleep before class/work. When the semester is over I’ll probably go to more of a vanity circuit rather than a strength/power circuit for a little bit. Hopefully I’ll have some good changes by then.

Getting tired of this whole nice guy thing. It's bullshit.

Ouch

Cut the crap out of my hand the other day. Looks like I'll be solely running for a bit. Which sucks cause I wanna lift heavy things.

Progress

I’m down almost 20lbs total. Which is where I wanted to be by now, so that’s good. Hate coming in here with other people from work though. Being a 911 operator/dispatcher all I ever hear is bullshit from a radio. Then I come in here with guys from work and they’re blasting more bullshit and talking about banging their respective ladies. I just want silence. This is my time. When I’m here I only think about the next lift, the pull on the snatch or if I’m reaching proper spine alignment on the squat. I don’t think about the problems with my house or the girl who seems to enjoy leading me on. I want peace and quiet because this is becoming a spiritual experience for me. A time between me and a higher power that won’t let me down, even though I may let it down constantly.

That said, school starts back up next week. While I’m looking forward to a new semester, I’m not looking forward to juggling classes, work, and gym time. I already feel like I need a vacation from my life and it’s only going to get worse.

At least I’ll have some time with the iron each week. May not be as much as it has been for the last month, but I’ll get some time with it.

Got my deadlift shoes on.
