If it fits your macros lol – I don’t keep track of anything, I just wanted some food into me quickly before buzzing my head, showering up, and establishing the beard line on a few days worth of stubble.
Even saying to forgive myself, still if I watch porn I shave clean – maybe that’s just habit for life for me.
Unbreakable discipline on shaving the beard – it keeps me honest.
However, a few days ago it didn’t feel like compulsion, no it was something different, it was simply preferring to be able to say that I had not watched porn at any time while growing my beard.
Therefore at present I have days of stubble after what was a ten week beard, which coincidentally takes ten weeks to grow back despite taking just minutes to shave.
I type as I drink a raw egg shake, made of ice cream, some milk, three eggs, and a ½c oats, plus eat two small bowls of tortilla chips.
It’s all IIFYM when you’re not counting them.
I should be doing some food prep, simply a week’s worth of meat in a go.
I’ve been real needy lately about wanting meat immediately on hand, even eating burger king – fast food being real rare for me.
With the food access we have in this country we all should be eating far better than we do.
What does it take?
$10/day, an hour here and there to cook.
…..
Front Squat
10×135
3×185
C&P Every Rep
4×185
SLDL
15×185
…..
The above was today’s lift.
The three movements what I’m gearing up to treat as this winter’s lifting.
I can recall an early morning front squat of 185lbs for a set past 20 reps.
This winter I look to far surpass it.
Personally I enjoy doing movements you’re not supposed to for high reps for high reps.
I get a lot out of them.
Both philosophically and real world a high rep squat is worth more than a low rep squat.
The front squat, cross arm “bodybuilder” style, is the every man’s squat – there is no form excuses that people metamorphosise out of thin air like with the (back) squat.
Keep your cross arm elbows high and bury the reps!
Pause them ass to ground (grass, whatever) too if it floats your boat.
I like pausing buried front squats.
…
After the high rep squats you go into the clean and press.
For pulling horsepower and wind reasons you clean every rep, press every rep, back to the clean, repeat all day long 🙂
In 2022 I’d been lazy with this, only cleaning the first rep while the biggest thing I can do for my press is more/improve cleans.
…
To finish the session you deadlift.
I’m partial to the sldl – preferring it to conventional, as it’s more “feel good”, it’s a muscle and a great pump vs a movement.
Occasionally or everytime, whichever frequency you desire, use snatch grip.
Note : I’m talking snatch grip sldl.
I too expect these pulls all to be pulled double overhand.
Since it’s me all done in little black winter gloves.
I was impressed today that I was pulling those cleans sl, a little hip pop when the bar hit power position, and it’s shouldered.
……
The programming above?
I’m excited.
This is hard.
It’s not easy to front squat, clean & press, and sldl all for high reps!
I need the challenge.
It’s winter. I doubt I’d run 20-30lbs of fat off. The high reps were partially chosen for the wind effect.
As it is I’m not running, not going to a gym, whether that gym is with or without a prowler/yoke/etc, not pushing my car or a friend’s truck, not doing any form of combat sport – so high reps make sense to one stop being so damn chubby.
Plus high reps done earnestly have very high strength potential.
You can put a lot of weight up for 10, 15, 20, 30, 50+ reps!
This gets you jacked.
And the rep count pushed real high with honest effort gets you fit.
…..
Could you do 104 squats whether weighted or not?
Dude, do your high rep squats consistently.
