Old Mans Updated Progress

[herrubermensch]

I’ve definitely played the “guys, I’m lifting right now and so have to eat every two hours or I go hypo, so I’m outta here.” That said, everyone expects me to be old and ornery and get away with shit, so I just satisfy their already extant expectations!

 

[herrubermensch]

That’s admirable BP, Poppy! My systolic is 131-141 right after lifting. Diastolic is always locked in at 69. Your A1C staying in check?

 

[Poppy]

My a1c is trending back down…again. Hopefully this ozempic will help get me down another point AND let me enjoy the occasional goodie snack.

How you been? Still making those pavement pounding race cars?

 

[Poppy]

Push

Bp with fat bar 155# speed sets of 3 with med, wide, close grips…9 sets without sitting up. Aprox 15 secs rest

Neck, abs, tris, deltsx 12 with 45 secs tmill for 4 circuits.

 

[Poppy]

Todays bp literally 1 minute after training

[Poppy]

I’m not sure if it’s the placebo effect but my usual foods i eat now (after ozempic) have been filling me up. In the past I would have to fill up on veggies and monitor (closely) everything else.

I have been keeping my carb count up to about regular so I don’t face plant.

The person I know that’s been on it a while has curtailed all food intake tremendously.

 

[Jonny]

Thanks for this! Kind of confirms that the eating effects blood pressure more than training.

 

[Jonny]

I have heard it’s very effective but have no personal experience with it at all.

 

[Poppy]

I’ll document my ozempic “venture” here. Losing a few pounds (5-7) wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all.

 

[Jonny]

Most people could stand to lose 5-7 lol

 

[Rusty]

Bp with fat bar 155# speed sets of 3 with med, wide, close grips…9 sets without sitting up. Aprox 15 secs rest

Must have had a serious pump and some burning muscles with that one

 

[Poppy]

Little bit…pretty light…going for cns training

 

[Dirtnasty]

Put a 1 in front of that and that’s my plan

 

[Poppy]

Today

Big round about 12 teps each

45 degree hypers pure glute pull

Neck

Calves

Step ups left leg only

30 secs on tmill(each side) with 25 pounds in one hand

4 rounds

 

[Poppy]

Todays bp immediately after training

 

[herrubermensch]

Good to hear, Poppy. Hope your little girl is flowering under you and your wife’s parentage.

Reasonably well, as I’m apt to say. Yep, building a motor tonight. That work just keeps on coming. It may be the only true hard work that I not only don’t mind, but love.

 

[Poppy]

Todays intake. Fat was mostly peanut butter

 

[Poppy]

Baby girl is growing up to be a fine young lady. She’s smart and active. She’s turning 8 next month so she’s getting “big”…apparently she’s not my little girl anymore… so I’ve been told

 

[Poppy]

Inverted rows with elite ladder bar x some

Barbell curls with same bar x some.

Very light quick and dirty

 

[herrubermensch]

I like “quick and dirty”, but not in relation to lifting weights.

Speaking of which, I know I’m infantile, but we need some more naked chick pics on this board!
