You seem to be at a very arab time in your life.
Very arab of her to tell you that.

They have a lot of great technology we don’t have in America. For example oil, it’s revolutionary stuff. God forbid a white boy love oil too.

Pull 2
Weight: 253

Let’s fuarking go son! Back to deadlifting. Doing some light technical work. Slow eccentrics. Gonna bullet proof this shit before I start pushing hard. This is how I would start a macrocycle when I was powerlifting, and I never got injured.
Once I have the entire movement dialed in, I’ll start going heavier.

Today I was working on the initiation- paused at shin. Initiating the lift was totally fine, and the drill was good. Next week i will work on correct glute and lat engagement, getting the hips through properly with pauses above the knee.

Next week my wife will have a kidney biopsy to determine why her kidneys have been failing and then going back online and then failing again. Im praying we can find answers, and that she will feel good and is discharged by Christmas. Im optimistic and looking forwards to being able to know what is wrong and get the treatment she needs, whatever it is. My progress might be poor following the surgery since I’ll have to take care of her and my daughter more than usual

Yeah haha, good to see progress is really moving in the right direction. Thankfully a lot of the machines for small muscle groups were plate loaded and there is no such thing as a light pendulum squat machine lol

Rest
Weight: 257.5 pounds * new high
Added 37.5 pounds so far since September.

2 pounds left and Im at 260. I hope I see 260 by the end of the year. If I do it will mean I doubled my body weight within these 4 years.

This is the part of the off season where I don’t like checking in and its a good fail safe to have a coach keep pushing me through. I am pretty watery, and blurred from the ment doing its work, but I know logically that body fat can still get pushed higher for another 10 or so pounds, and I can still build real muscle, even though I don’t like the visual feedback.

My blood glucose is still very good, my strength is still moving linearly and actually climbing very quickly with the ment. my appetite is good, too, so I know my body is in a state that it can easily put muscle on, and I need to take advantage of this. I just have to deal with being a bit of a fatty and let my body adjust the water from ment.
