Weight at 230 the last two mornings. Getting the slin in more often, eod right now from training, seems to be keeping me pretty tight during the day. Not a huge difference but slightly noticeable.

Kinda hit and miss on diet this week though. Missed a meal Monday and made up for it Monday night by having 2 home made chicken sandwiches. They were awesome.

Yesterday I had a small pack of cookies but just 4. Back to work so diet has no choice but be right since I bring all my meals. Usually of days from work is when I waver some I don't prep for that day and just eat out of the bulk I have made already and have things around I can much on.

Going back to prepping 4 days at a time no matter work or not since I stick to plan much better that way.

Been cooped up inside the last two days at work going crazy. Flourscent lights kill my head and eyes.

Got off a bit early and decided to go by the grocery store and make home made Spaghetti.

Fresh tomatoes, herbs, meat and made my own pasta. I do it very rarely since it's a lot of work but, the wife and kids smash it lol.

I had a couple forks full but that's it. Gotta keep diet tightest I can. Back to training tomorrow.

How are you liking Fortitude training?

How are you liking Fortitude training?

I started it around 20 weeks ago and LOVE it.

I trained dc last year for the first time and had great progress but, just felt bored compared to more regular volume training.

With fortitude, there is so much variety while still focusing on progressive overload that it keeps me engaged and thinking.

Moving heavy shit is fun but, variety is the spice of life lol.

If you haven't tried it, I would suggest spending 20 bucks and getting the ebook. Besides the training, there is a ton of knowledge in it that I found very interesting.

Back to work tonight.

Training went well and meals all as planned. Before my nap this afternoon I did add in a bit of a treat. 1c oats, 2 tbsp pb and some blueberries.

When I woke up I was full as a tick. Amazing tightness and really full. The bad, terrible gas lol.

Good session but weights were a bit light. Went in on not much sleep and over performed which is a good thing of course. Great pump and fullness again. Sweat is getting out of hand... Guess it's from the slin since that's all that's changed besides carbs right before training.

Question for anyone who might know.

I can't seem to send PM's. Did I miss a rule regarding post count or rep status affecting that possibly?

232lbs this morning. A bit soft but happy with where I'm at I guess. Should be interesting when we crank back up. **broken link removed****broken link removed**

 

[Montego]

No training today. My mid back is smoked today from what I'm guessing was the low rows. Haven't done those in a while so not adapted.

Also decided I want to own my own gym lol. A Metroflex with air condition that jams nothing but metal and some rap. Slipknot, Mudvayne, Korn, White/Rob Zombie, Pantera, Eminem... Yeah dream gym lol.

The squat machine was rough.... Almost hurled but held it at bay. Think I found the knee pain culprit... Smith Squat and extensions. Haven't done those and no knee pain..... Don't know why the smith would cause issues honestly. Maybe I'm not letting my knees travel out as much since I'm in a more fixed position.

No training today.

I work nights a couple days a week and tonight is one of them. Got up and my wife hadn't had dinner and all the kids were gone so we went out and ate. Had a 11oz Sirloin, sweet potato and steamed vegetables. I woke up down in weight the last two days, at 228, despite increasing calories overall the last two weeks. Figured even since I don't train today, the sweet potato would be some added calories even though I'm trying to keep carbs at a minimum until I start my blast.

Tomorrow I have upper muscle rounds so I may have a free meal after training if weight doesn't get back to the 230's.
