hey all... finally back in town.

The past few days (4) have felt like a month... grueling, emotionally exhausting time set in there were a few good times.

Hotel beds official suck ass.... I got the best sleep on the way home which was for 2 hours.

Mortality is a bitch... I was at a hospital 2x a day visiting and keeping some family company, ect.

I got 2 workouts in... i'll edit this post and insert them in at some point. Friggin' gym I went to didn't have a T-Bar (chest supported), I improvised with Dumbells on an incline bench for that. HIIT sprints on the indoor track too... great workouts.

I feel like absolute shit from eating like an asshole for 4 days... I ate ~ maintanance or a little above I'm sure...but this time I drank tons of water to help with the crap food. Weigh in when I got back 225.0 lbs (PR, lol).

Good to be back, that's for sure...

I asked a "Trainer" (some 40 y/o lady that didn't look like she worked out with a t-shirt with "Trainer" on the back) where the T-bar row was. "What's that?" ... i thought "omgwtf" ... and then said it's a chest supported row and did the motion like a re-re, lol... nope no T-bar row there.

lol...fuck that, i don't want to get heavier right now. However, I DO want to get better at Chins and I will.

I'm still getting used to being this heavy.

Not being as light as I remember running around, ect (as a 170lb athlete) is weird to me still. I'm explosive and quick when I want to be but dayum it'll take time to get used to being bigger for sure.

I'm VERY pleased right now ~220lbs... I'm actually trying to recomp (loss some BF and keep getting stronger) a bit right now, it's not going so well with all this "stuff" going on in my life though.

Only time will tell how my recomp goes... all else fails I keep trainng and getting stronger for sure

Nice to see you back.

Too bad you checked in too late to take advantage of YoungIntricateMuscle's bench tips. Let me tell you, that stuff really targets the inner rotator cuffs; mine have been sore for days, which is how I know it's working.
