Hi all. No work today,my dad needed help,he's on light duty,helping him so he doesn't over do it takes priority over work any day.And I don't feel like laying out my routine and food intake so,hope everyone has a smooth and productive day.

[JLee]

Hoping to stay motivated enough to train legs after work but we'll see how it goes.

They rearranged the gym around and it ruins the flow and makes no sense. The squat rack used to have racks for weights in both side they took one of those away and moved it next to equipment that has racks already attached to it. It’s almost like they want people like me to not come here.

De-load for two weeks with a little bit less food starts today. Then back up on training. Up on cardio. Prep starts July 1.

Getting back at it hard, but haven’t regressed much. Past year has been a whirlwind between kids, work and that thing called life. Still hitting garage gym hard and plan to show a few updates though at this point I really have all I need and in some cases better than commercial gym. Went from 4-5 days per week to 2-3 which I can tell isn’t optimal for me and don’t feel my best. So switching schedule and hitting garage gym around 4am before work as it I don’t I have work then 5 kids worth of sports (which is great really for them).

Anyhow back to topic. Morning was scrambled eggs (3 whole, 2 white) with half avocado chunks, 2 slices low carb potato bread (40 kcal per slice), 1 cup pineapple chunks, 3 cups or so of 1% lactose free milk (over years no one appreciates if I have regular milk lol).

Hitting core lifts to get back in a PPL routine which I do 4 in week then get the last 2 shortly thereafter so hit all target muscles twice but often just not in 7 days due to my schedule.

Tomorrow:
All in pyramid style increasing weight each set and reducing reps - each set is about 1-2 reps to failure.
1) Trap deadlifts 15, 12, 10, 8
2) Barbell bench press 12, 10, 8, 6
3) Squats 15, 12, 10, 8
4) OHP W/ barbell 12, 10, 8, 6
5) weighted pull-ups with 45lb hanging using belt squat belt
6) barbell curls 12, 10, 8
7) Band tricep kickback w/ 60lb band tied around power rack 15, 12, 10
8) rope crunch using high pulley 20, 20, 20

Take 1-2 days off and then go back to standard PPL routine.

Finish workout tomorrow off with 40 min 12% incline treadmill at ~45-50 min.

Shower and go into office until 5pm to be home when wife drops off 4 of our kids to be at a history fair for her elementary class, then shortly thereafter pick up son from HS baseball at 6pm. Finally should then hopefully can have some downtime before I crash, then back at it Tuesday morning.

Very blessed with large family, wonderful wife, and job I enjoy doing that pays well, but can be a bit much to juggle it all, particularly the past year.

I really like a ppl leg style I wish I could do just do a 3 on 1 off but my social life wouldn’t allow that and that keeps me sane so less gains but better brains

Ditto! Would love to do the standard 3 on 1 off but life happens and messes up the schedule fairly often. But overall, if I have an unplanned miss I just pick up which day I should be on, which usually still gets me close to getting both push, pull, or legs days relatively close to within a week, so though not as optimal, still generally works well for me. Or at worst I’ll bump up the volume for that particular day, if it happened to be over a week apart
