Yee I just got back now, did a chest/back workout as promised here 
About to go shower and such. I usually try to eat something after the gym since thats when oneās testosterone is most boosted from gym, but Iām gonna try to save my calories for when I go with my girlfriend for dinner, since Iām on a cut and like my calories are pretty limited since I donāt do enough cardio haha

Played two hours of ultimate frisbee with a big group of families last night. I took my son along and man did we sweat! My watch told me that I had run 4 miles but it seemed like more than that based on how exhausted we were. We went and jumped in the lake afterward to cool off. It was exactly what I needed.

After almost ruining my lower back with (wrong) kettlebell workout, a looong break and finally the Go from my orthopedic: Iām back. It wonāt be easy but itās worth it.

This was peak week of my training for a triathlon next weekend. Today was āsuper bricksā. Iāve done plenty of brick workouts (bike then run off the bike), but not a super. Turns out it is 3 back to back bricks (I took 5-10 minutes between each) of a 25 minute ride and a 10 minute run, and a race-level practice for the transition from bike to run. Iām gonna go drink a hot coffee then take a hot shower. Iām spent!

Yikes!! No wonder you are spent! Just looked up āsuper bricks workoutā and yeah Iām tired for you
Hope you enjoy that coffee and showerā¦rest those muscles
In case others didnāt know what this was ..
A āsuper bricksā workout, in the context of triathlon or duathlon training, refers to a brick workout that combines cycling and running, often with multiple transitions, to simulate race conditions and improve performance. The term ābrickā comes from the heavy, wobbly feeling in the legs when transitioning from cycling to running, simulating the effect of a brick.

Hooray, just trained legs today 
TBH, Iāve been leaving out abs from my gym split lately because I know at my current body fat percentage training them will just make my stomach area even bigger.
But, I think Iām gonna start training them again from now on because:
- Iām cutting anyway so Iāll have definition on them eventually anyway. I probably wonāt have abs again until Iām at like 150-160lbs based on my height and muscle mass at 5"7. So far, I have slight definition on them but not like a full six pack like when I was shredded.
- Good to train them for core strength and such.
My chest fat is slowly disappearing. Itās a trip I thought my chest fat was gyno for a while, since I havenāt been this fat for a long while. I was like āyo I donāt take steroids, SARMs, or any type of PED and never have, how am I getting gyno am I good lolā thank god itās just me being fat because that wouldāve been really scary otherwise cuz that could mean liver/kidney failure and such from my understanding

Yeah, good thing that youāre alright and the balance will come after some time.
Keep it consistent, all good things are possible.

Put your feet closer to the top, keep your legs close, go slow both eccentric and decentric.
Those will hit your glutes.
And, to get stronger squats. Leg press does help, open your legs in a power stance to replicate the power squat stance.
Power will come.

We are jamming hard. Tomorrow is an off day. I generally dont go more than 4 days in a row.
Thesd past 4 days, my muscles came back to a degree.
Hitting 405 on the dead for 4 was interesting.

My previous post here got flagged and removed; Iām not sure why. Iām guessing itās because I accidentally had a shirtless picture because I was at my dadās pool, but I tried to just show my face and the pool. I didnāt really realize until after posting that, my bad.
My bad, Iām sorry for that yall. But yeah, I just did arm day today! All is going good so far, hope yall are doing well

Ur right on why ur post was removed. The fitness check in has the same rules as the sober selfies (shirts need to be visible). U werent aware. Accidents happen
