Lunch: 2 chicken thighs, Greek yogurt and pineapple

Nice slow and steady workout. Great strength ongoing through the multiple sets of flat bench considering I'm no longer on the var. Might take a month off from it then bring it back at a higher dose to finish out the cycle. Ran it for 7 1/2 weeks.

@MarkusMcGuire lunch was a nice cheat meal but if you do it, do it right, you should have gotten some ice cream or pie after, if you do it do it all the wayTraining log: 11/19
Breakfast: 4 eggs, Greek yogurt, pineapple
Lunch: cheat meal. Burger King Whopper with small fries and diet coke.
Dinner: black and red beans with rice, grilled chicken, guacamole, salsa fresca and Greek yogurt substituted for sour cream (it's exactly the same BTW).

Iso lateral hammer strength shoulder presses: 95lbs per side xs 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12
Medial delt cable raises (one side at a time): 40lbs xs 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. Did these with the cable behind me instead of in front of my body today. Kinda tricky at first.
Horizontal rear delt cable pulls: 40lbs xs 10, 10, 10, 10, 10
Took it easy today and still got a huge pump. Feeling good. Leveling back out after estrogen scare. Have an appointment to get a Thai massage tomorrow and hopefully stretch everything out a bit and get some relaxation in. Went light today so I'm not too sore for that. Post workout protein shake. Heading to bed.
Side note: can tell I'm off the var. Pharmaqo var was definitely legit.
Hahaha. It definitely does lol !!The diet coke cancels out the cheat meal.![]()

@MarkusMcGuire 2.5 hour massage is perfect, you need to get that happy endingTraining log: 11/20
Breakfast: 4 eggs, Greek yogurt, pineapple chunks
Lunch: two grilled chicken breasts, grapes
Dinner: ten air fryer chicken wings, Greek yogurt, grapes.
No training today. Had a two and a half hour Thai massage which was pretty much a bunch of stretching. Very nice. Going to start doing some mobility exercises and try to get my knee functioning better and then possibly get back into some BJJ. Nothing competitive. Just some light technique work. That's my goal for the new year. It's going to take some time but it will be worth it. Perhaps TB 500 protocol.
can't beat the air fryer when it comes to making chickenTraining log: 11/20

No happy ending?Hahaha. Everyone has jokes. But seriously.. the Thai massage is awesome. They basically bend and stretch all your limbs and spine in ways you could never achieve by yourself. At one point I was on my stomach with my legs up behind me and the girl doing it was sitting on my feet with her heels in the small of my back while pulling my arms back behind me and arching my upper body up and back. It was one of the best things I've ever felt except for the fact that it also felt like i might crap my pants. Lol. I spend a lot of my days sitting in uncomfortable chairs or bunched up over a desk. I feel like I'm always balled up around my core. It was amazing to have everything stretched away from the core and uncoil all that tension.
@MarkusMcGuire you know we joke but you should still let them jerk you bro lol why not, i ve done it a few timesHahaha. Everyone has jokes. But seriously.. the Thai massage is awesome.

@MarkusMcGuire great day on breakfast i would add a protein shake a bit extraTraining log 11/22
Breakfast: 4 eggs, Greek yogurt, banana oat bread
Lunch: 2 grilled chicken breast, banana
Dinner: petite beef tenderloin, broccoli, pineapple chunks
Going light on the diet today to try to offset any moments of weakness tomorrow. (I have an unconditional exception/cheat rule involving cheesecake, if it's there I'm eating some. It rarely comes into play and it is worth it every time).
Training: chest
Grabbed a quick one at the wellness center at work while I had the chance. All the gyms around here are closed tomorrow and Friday.
Flat bench: bar warmup 15 reps, 135 xs 10, 185 xs 8, 225 xs 8, 275 xs 10, 295 xs 7, 315 xs 5, 4, 295 xs 6, 275 xs 5, 225 xs 7.
Not bad. Still trying to decide if I want to push for a PR by the end of the year or back off and switch into endurance mode. The way my joints are barking at me I might not have a choice. I can feel a significant difference in my connective tissue since dropping the var. If I decide to try for a PR I'm going to have to bring the var back or maybe even something more aggressive like A bombs or Dbol (but just for four weeks). Crush a new PR and retire from the heavy stuff for a bit. I'm going to have to lean out anyway to get into BJJ mode. My other option is tren for a month to hit the new PR. But I'm really trying to not go there due to cardio.
Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Hope everyone gets to enjoy some quality time with loved ones.
