Feels so good to get up early in the morning, workout hard, take a shower, take a protein shake, then go back to sleep :)

Lol yeah, I get that, I just really prefer having a home gym. I know you have equipment too so I'm sure you just need access to stuff you don't have, but I'm enjoying figuring out how to use bands to mimick certain things (facepulls, pushdowns, that kinda thing)

I'm like a 2 minute walk from an actual gym but I just like the atmosphere at home

Did this yesterday after having a string of bad deadlift days. Key is making sure my back feels good outside the gym so I'm not mentally held back from ripping the weight up.

Literally just pulling off a stack of mats instead of the floor as a difference means of progression. Instead of increasing the weight over time, you keep the weight the same and increase the range of motion by removing a mat each week. Learned it from Emevas in 2012 and it's been my favorite way to increase my deadlift.

... Tried some postural exercises at the gym today, I feel an inch taller and my back feels really decompressed and good.

If you want to do this all you need is a wall. You put your back to the wall, placing yourself in anatomical position(back up against the wall, hand slightly at your side with the palms facing forward, feet shoulder width apart), press your calfs up against the wall, then press your hips up against the wall, then your thoracic spine around the shoulder blade area, lastly your head. Position your body so that only your calfs, hips, thoracic spine and back of your head are touching the wall. Using your body weight to shift these points of contact around hold the position for 15 seconds where you feel the most elongated(should be when your face is looking forward with your chin a bit down)

Boy what a relief this is, and you really do feel your back decompress from holding it for a few seconds.

Since he gyms are still closed. Trying to get fitter by doing basically only calisthenics. Up to 10 pull ups and about 20 push ups. (I suck at push ups).

Wanna try and hit 20 pull ups, 50 push ups and be able to do a muscle up before the year ends

Homemade weightgainers for breakfast are a big help, sometimes I just don't want to eat when I wake up.

My bench press set. Was wondering if anyone could diagnose what the issue is with my shoulders when going heavy for my strength, I feel such major pressure on my shoulder during the flat bench, I feel like my form is pretty good, at least my buddy tells me it's good, but boy I'm getting some hardcore pressure on my shoulders.

Today my sets for flat BP were:
95lbs x 12
135lbs x 8
155lbs x 8
185lbs x 4

I know, pretty bad. The good news is my BP strength has gone up significantly in 2 weeks, I was 185lbs for 2 partial reps 2 weeks ago and now I hit it for 4 full rom reps.

I was feeling so sick at the gym, I had a disgusting Wendy's Jr bacon cheeseburger last night and it nearly ruined my whole workout.

Later today I'm going to starved rock national park and hiking like 10 miles. I'm not quite sure I want to go though, I feel real tired.

that can't be more than like 1200 right? seems like a steep cutting amount. You should add a 1000 calorie bulking shake with ground oats, peanut butter, banana, and two scoops protein powder.

Minimum 6 so far. Yesterday I had 10 lol

Tbqh they're not actually very calorically dense, but they're a classic bulking food for a reason

I do need to start doing some kinda shake when I wake up for sure

Heck yeah dude

Started with with a toasted PB sandwich and 2 scoops of whey and a cup of Greek yogurt. Then had 3 eggs. About 950 cals, still not a ton but an improvement considering I'm about to eat lunch.

Think I need to keep an actual food log along side my other trackers

I added that bulking shake, and have just been eating more in general and holy shit the muscle growth is insane. The belly is still shrinking too, and the love handles are so nearly gone.

Trying not to think too far ahead, but I only have 265 pounds of weight. At my current rate of progress I'll get to that in November on my deadlift. And on my squat not too long after.

Still plenty of room to grow my bench and OHP (I will almost certainly never bench 265) but with the prices on workout equipment being what they are, not sure what I'm going to do exactly when that time comes.
