Hangry and commando

Posted on September 30, 2015 by G

My mood is much improved today, thank goodness. Actually the fog lifted shortly after lunch, which leads me to believe that the changes I’ve made to my breakfast might not be working very well. I’ve switched from a hemp protein-and-fruit … Continue reading →

Everything is butts

Posted on September 29, 2015 by G

I’m in a foul mood today and very busy and honestly this post would be mostly whining if I let it go on so I’ll keep it short. Today was meant to be a back-to-lifting day but that didn’t work … Continue reading →

I’m not so tough

Posted on September 13, 2015 by G

This is not a workout-of-the-day blog post. I haven’t been able to do anything more strenuous than getting myself around the house since Wednesday, when I hurt my back. I was very lucky; I had my physical scheduled for Thursday … Continue reading →

Too much leg and back day

Posted on September 9, 2015 by G

Someone overdid it today. My legs/lower back day was going great until the very last thing: deadlift. I loaded it up with a reasonable 175lb, and on the 5th rep I felt a nasty twinge in my lower back on … Continue reading →
