Thanks (again) Rob.
Thursday-GLP #2 Squat wo-managed to get 90% of a decent wo. Anyway walked out of the gym and stepped off the "train." I'm trying not to be pissed, but I was making steady gains and lost my edge. In retrospect, I see several key points to adjust.
1) Document/follow a diet. I had started to eat "healthier" in the last few weeks and in doing so, I cut "bad" calories, but did not replace them with "good" ones, thus decreasing my over-all intake while my "workload" was increasing on the GLP#2.
2) Overtraining. In reading other "BPrs" posts-I felt I was takng too long to complete GLP 1 & then 2, so I decrease my "off" days. I have always needed a longer recovery peroid than any of my lifting partners. It sounds weird, but I remember gaining while not having to be in the gym as much as other guys, and when I try to train as hard as the next guy, I wind up paying a greater "tax" on the deal.
3) My wife reminded me that in the past two weeks I have worked a day on both weekends and had a few 14 hour work days during the week.
I don't want to make excuses, I just don't like where I'm at and want to avoid being here again.
Friday-crash time.
Sat. I had a couple of guys at the gym expecting me today, so I went down to take care of some business and did 25 minutes of walking on the treadmill keeping my heart rate @ 110 bpm (that's fat burning for us guys pushing 50) and a medium ab wo. Got home and 5 hours of yard work.
Breakfast-coffee
Lunch-Black angus beef and provolone on wheat bread w/ a little M-whip, ketchup, bananna peppers, and tomato. Almond milk
Dinner-spaghetti with italian sausage meatballs and garlic bread (not only is the lady of the house smokin hot-but she can cook too
Rob, looking into a chiropractor (he'll have plenty to say I'm sure) and getting a decent massage (mama is petite) and not strong enough to give a decent massage. Should I be taking any supps at this time?
