That was my young mentality, fuck it I only live once. Now my mentality as I reach 50 is what is best to live as long as possible to be here as long as I can for my family and the family to come. That is a physical and mental quest. I don't want to just be here stuck in a home just being kept alive. I lived a very long selfish life prior. Just drinking, drugging, eating all the things my wife calls the good stuff, basically shit food most of the time. Not caring about anything but my own pleasure. I chased money at any cost doing scrupulous deals, selling drugs, and living that lifestyle. It has given me the pleasure of enjoying so many county jails I have forgotten how many, been to Florida prisons, and Federal prison. 30 years of physical and mental damage I still deal with today. I still struggle with greed, the love of money, and wanting what others have on a daily basis but I know ehat my faults are, I continue to do better, and I don't do illegal things for it any longer. I just work harder and a workaholic at times. I do this out of saying well we need the money. Really what I need is time. My loved ones want my time and don't really need things they just want to spend quality time together and make memories that can be kept when I am gone one day. Now I am conscious of doing better mentally and physically to live as long as I can for my family. I still exhibit some selfish actions in my healthy lifestyle by saying it's for getting healthy but at my age I want to take it slow and make sure I don't do anything that takes time away or at least minimize it as much as possible. Doing the training I do is not the best for this either but selfish me really enjoys it, I know I could just stay on TRT and that is probably the best thing but I do like pushing the limits some to see what can happen. That's the selfish part of me as well. This is where my mind is on taking things slow to not make things worse. I am not 20 years old any more and can't bounce back like I use to. I bounce a little harder and seem to keep bouncing a few times before I stop these days. I like the advice on here and on the Evo podcast of ots a marathon and can take it slow. I am already on TRT year round and bumping up things a few times a year for short spurts sounds like a good plan. Take it slow going up to find that sweat spot for me doesn't sound bad. Then that way I can learn how my body reacts to things. Mm

I use the assisted dip machine. I can't do a bodyweight dip yet but I keep decreasing the weight down. I will get there one day.
@kcates you a wealth of knowledge. I am sure we cross paths before in jail, i been there many times too. 3 of my sons also serving time along with nelson montana son .
people say that shit run in family or whatever, but i don't think so. think it just bad luck.

Maybe, luckily I only had a year bid in the state and a few in the feds. I went through lake Butler, West unit then FSP O unit and then to Baker CI. Did my Fed time In Atlanta at the camp. My last time was 2010 at Baker. Sorry to hear about your kids going through it. I know we never want our kids to endure the hard times we have. Luckily last time I got caught my oldest was 3 years old. My youngest only knows about it by what we have told him. I hope I was just the odd ball in my family to go down that road. I hope my oldest was to young to remember much of that time. So far my kids are doing great. The oldest getting prepared to go to the Marines and the youngest is still in school doing great. Hopefully, I have beat it into there heads enough not to follow in their fathers foot steps because it's a rough road and there not built to deal with being in places like that. I have done my best to keep them away from all that but also be honest with them about it in hopes they have seen the errors in my ways. That they see the man I am now and they strive to do better like I have. I believe they will. The oldest i was worried about him for a bit but now he can go and becomes man in the Marines Teach him some discipline and grit.
 
I like being strong as possible. Size don't matter to me. I just like lifting heavy. Obviously there are strong guys in less weight then me. Like Anatoly, lol, he cracks me up. Dropping fat is not something I am against. I am slowly dropping fat but at a rate that I replace it with muscle so the scale doesn't really move. I have noticed after going off the var I have consistently been staying in the upper 230 lb range and not going back up to the low 240s. Probably a few more tweaks and I can start moving down more consistently. One day Lev is going to get through to me, lol. Don't give up Lev, we going to get there!
@kcates For sure man, much respect for that. You are a big and strong guy.

@kcates bro nice when i serve i watch best friend blow his head off by grenade by accident while playing with it. after that when i started going to prison, gettin in fights and shit. they try and tell me i have ptsd or some shit. i don't believe in that nonsense. i rather serve my time in the clink then live on the streets fightin for sure. was good for me and was good for you too
 
I use the assisted dip machine. I can't do a bodyweight dip yet but I keep decreasing the weight down. I will get there one day.
Try to do 1 dip no machine natty see if you can slow one down. @kcates
 
You using an ai
 
I talked to my prescribing doctor today. He gave me a paper so I can give blood regardless if they use it at one blood or not. He said check and see if I am clear to give with out it first. I talked about that whole issue why they wouldnt let me give blood in a previous post. If I am still not clear in there system then use the paper he gave me that will allow them to draw the blood and do whatever they want with it. He said the bloods were not terrible considering coming off the oxandrolone. He said to give the blood as often as I can. Stay off the extra stuff for now. He wants to see me back, retest me, and see where I am at. We talked about the estrogen being high but i didn't have any other test of it to know what my levels were previously for reference. He asked me if I was having side effects from it being high and he checked my chest. I told him the only thing that I seemed to noticed while taking the var was my skin was more oily. He said he could give me an AI but he said we will hold off for now since I was not having any sides from it. If i get sides he said to call him. He can put me on something or I can use the arimidex. I am going to retest in 6 weeks.

On a another note I dropped the 70 lb dumbbell today it bounced and smashed my phone. Once i get my phone back working with m y training app I will update my training log.

Lets see how the bloods come out, do them.

I guess with dumbbells i will have to hide my phone on the other side of the gym. the dumbbell bounced and landed on my phone that was laying on top of my big cup. it bent that thing its in the shape of a v now. lol, lesson learned.

i tried one, i go real slow down and i really struggled to get back up. it was rough on the shoulder. i thought it would be warmed up from doing overhead press and deadlifts. its not my dip day. i am at hjat machine to do chinups figured i try. it may be better if i warned it up by doing sone to depth. with assisted machine i go deep for the stretch.

If rough on the shoulders dont do it, you'll need to stick to machines. @kcates
hows food going?

Good, this week I have not had any carbs just meat. I havent been working in the field as much so don't need the extra energy. Monday I did have a protein shake which may have a few in there with the peanut butter powder and banana. I only had one shake on Monday because I was in a rush to get to a doc appointment after training. I am going to get my log updated today hopefully. I am going to try the dip again on Saturday when I do them normally with some proper warm up. I typically start lower in the negative weight for the seat i put my knees on to help lift me back up. Then work up to my working negative weight. That way I can start off easy going through the full motion to warm up the shoulder joint. I will try it with out the assist because you can lock the knee support at the floor and use it bodyweight style. See how I do with a warmed up joint. I will try and remember to get video as well. I had some other video I wanted to post on my incline barbell close grip press I did on the regular bench instead of the smith machine. Unfortunately I lost it when i destroyed my phone. I will redo them Saturday as well. I am heading out to give blood now and will be back later to do some real updating.

Week in review:
Another week of progressive overload completed. I never thought I would push up this high after feeling the way I did weeks ago when I was doing to much work. Now that I have reduced the exercises I am recovering better and pushing new highs each week right now. I feel good and I feel rested. I am not dragging end of day at work. Now that I am not so tired from the day. I am seeing a tendency to stay up past my bed time. I try and stay structured to go to bed at 8 and be sleeping at 9 Pm daily. Another great week that I am happy with progression. I am only about 30 pounds total on the 3 main lifts away from my goal. I still have 3.5 months left to go until my birthday. I hope everyone else is having a great week and reaching there goals as well.
