Nice brother. I need to get back in the gym. I miss barbell stuff and lat pull down. I really like cable stuff too. I found an old school gym by my place I’m going to look at. Keep up the good work.

 

[PNWmuscle]

Nice man would be interested on how it goes when you check out that gym

 

[Trollus]

Will do brother. Maybe I can take some pictures.

Warm today, work is getting busy. Got one guy out next few day, one guy out for a week, and another guy coming back from surgery and not 100% so I got a lot on my plate I’m having to pick up during the day. Promoting a younger guy up who I’ve been training for a while, good worker and good head on his shoulders. He looks really young so that’ll be a barrier when he’s in a homeowners home but his professionalism should carry him through. This is the best part of my job, seeing the new guys move up and progressing and happy. Excited for that

 

[Trollus]

Mentoring is really rewarding. He’s lucky to have someone in his corner who gives a damn. I used to love turning kids into salty kitchen dogs when i was running kitchens. Try not to let the schedule mess with your progress. You’v worked too hard for this brother.

Getting it early I love it brother

Evening training- legs
Leg extensions- 4 sets 15-20 reps
Leg press- 4sets 8-12
Leg curl- 4 sets 8-12
Standing calf- 3 sets 12-15
Seated calf- 3 sets 12-15

That looks like a leg regimen that I have run solid training

About the younger guy your exactly right I look at them sideways when there really young by themselves to do work but if they act right and go about everything just like anyone else im good and let him or her get to it

 

[Poppy]

Training still good?

 

[PNWmuscle]

Getting back on the wagon. Mother in law just left and getting back on track. Hit a pull day today, went well. Diet is ok, not ideal as I did not get to the grocery store so I’m putting together some odd meals to get by haha

 

[herrubermensch]

Agreed. Though it took me a while to become comfortable with mentoring as opposing to be competitive with the younger guys. I think once I was fully established, I saw the younger guys as nothing but opportunities to develop, and it really is gratifying to see them succeed.

 

[Poppy]

How’s training sir?

 

[Bigmurph6]

What’s going on brother @PNWmuscle

 

[PNWmuscle]

@Bigmurph @Poppy

All is good. Log is tough for me to keep up on, might not be for me. But diet, training, all going really well. In the last few weeks of this cycle and very happy. On a small getaway with the family on the coast for 5 days so I’ve been out and about and enjoying it a little

 

[Bigmurph6]
