Nice - tapering sort of - have a C - L this weekend,   then full bore training for this show in whenever. 

Feel awesome.  I'm better now at 42 no dieting than I was at like 3-4 weeks out when I was 25.

9/11 NYC C & L are their flagship events and are usually awesome.

Thanks...

Not sure if I like this cycle as much as the last one.

So far, the workouts are much shorter, with the AMARP stuff at the end.  This one has rucking though.

42.   

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. It's working. Of course good genetics help too.

It's 8:15 p.m. here. There's been a shit load of tension in the house all day. My pup won't leave my side. I hear angry voices upstairs. It's probably my grandson screwing up again. 20 years old and can't act sane for one whole day. Such are the downfalls of letting your family live with you.

I'm out of here for awhile. A good workout at the gym will be a big relief. Too bad I can't take Lucy (my dog) with me. She'll be hiding under the bed the whole time I'm gone.

Such is life!

Train for an hour then walk for an hour.   Just get out of the house.

Challenge and light  - then take off a day or two are start training again.  I plan on not changing much at all - just ratcheting down my diet

Looks like they were being tortured with lifting seconds of a firehouse filled with weight, from the video I saw.

-Worked my delts and skipped the walk. Instead I went to the Eagle for a scotch. Damn joint was so crowded, I waited 10 minutes to get in. Should have left. Once inside it was so bad that I could hardly move. Big crowds with people packed tight cause my enochlophobia to kick in. Needless to say, one double scotch and I was outta' there.

Concept 2 row sprints coupled with breathing drills in between sets.

Nose breathing is tough for me with a deviated septum

Decided to try working out during the day today. The gym was surprisingly not too crowded. My back work out was great.
