Keeping busy!

 

[Poppy]

Trying my friend trying.

 

[Poppy]

Dead bench with 225 plus doubled red band x 3 then shutdown with extreme prejudice. Had a little @anabolic_geek guy on my shoulder whispering in my ear “throttle back dude”… on the other shoulder had a little @Neuro whispering “don’t be a chucklehead dad”… soooo did circuit of tri rope push downs 45 degree YTW’s abs and 45 second tmill x 4.

Thanks guys!

 

[Poppy]

Non training day macros for today. Probably get a little snack in a bit.

 

[Jonny]

This calorie intake is low. Do you maintain with this or are you losing?

 

[Poppy]

Maintain… maybe a bit of fat burning. This is a bit low beings I didn’t do any strength or conditioning. I’m usually 300-500 calories higher.

 

[Jonny]

Ah ok, makes sense

 

[Poppy]

Here is after my snack…absolute total for day. Total calories was 2030. I’m usually between 2200 and 2500 on training days.

 

[Rusty]

Fiber seems pretty low for a high protein diet. Ever supplement Metamucil? I have to with high protein or I get all kinds of uncomfortable

 

[Poppy]

I don’t track my veggies. We eat a pretty good amount.

Lots of green stuff with all kinds of peppers…

The only thing I track like that is chick peas…due to carbs.

 

[Rusty]

That makes a big difference. Whew. I was worried. Lol

 

[Poppy]

Todays stuff

45 degree hypers x10

Kneeling cable crunches x10

Calves x10

Left leg step ups (still nursing rh quad) x10

45 seconds tmill

X 5 with 4 mins tmill at the end.

 

[Jonny]

What’s your thinking behind the 45S tmill x 5?

 

[Poppy]

Just keep moving active rest.

I have dialed everything way back as of late… poundage, intensity etc so I figured just hopping on the hamster wheel between sets couldn’t hurt.

It’s never set too high…maybe 2.8 max just to keep blood flowing.

 

[Poppy]

Just one of my hair brain ideas to keep my training interesting. Probably won’t last long.

 

[Jonny]

Ah ok, good idea!

 

[Poppy]

Brother, I’ve been getting real bored (on and off) for about 10 years now…with the whole strength/conditioning/bbing thing.

I’m getting older and there’s more things I can’t do than I can do. Very frustrating. Trying to find a good middle ground.

 

[Poppy]

Standing semi lat pull downs/rows to several different points x bunch

High pulls for traps upper back.

Some bicep stuff
