My mini vacation

Well I knew it would happen. Was let go from my job due to the “Covid” impact on oil and gas. But hey you know what I haven’t been so relaxed in a long time. I needed to get my head right and just let it all go.

I have enjoyed streaming again (http://twitch.tv/bigsmashtitan) and getting to stream with my nephew. He has turned into a good little gamer now. Watch out world. I haven’t gotten to really play video games in a long time so it is nice to just relax and emerse myself in that world again.

I’ve also gotten to get back into the gym finally and am enjoying it again. For a long time it was more of a chore. Now I am back to training for a goal. Strongman here I come again. I’m older and wiser now so I know how to train properly and recover properly.

Alright folks I just am doing a quick update. Peace and love!!!

Finally!!!!

Welp its finally time for me to be back in the gym! Doctor told me mid November so even though he said I could start doing light stuff i waited till he said I could get back to normal workouts. But what are normal workouts for a strongman. We shall see. I will definitely be writing more often than I have now that I have set my goal and heading that way.

Peace everyone. Have a great day!

The return

Well starting in 2 weeks I am back in the gym finally after taking many months off to let my sternum heal from my heart surgery. I will be taking it slow and will be doing blog posts about it also. I want to work myself back into strongman competitions.

I will be posting up my workout routines and different meals while I get back into it. I will also post up my supplement stack. Once again I look forward to the journey.

Been a long time

Well it’s been a long time, but I’m going to try and get back to blogging about stuff.

So just got back into the gym not long ago due to nagging injuries. Small stuff that individually wouldnt stop anyone from lifting, but as a whole needed to be addressed. Was working out at a box gym, but just didn’t feel like right. I have returned to the only gym that has felt like home. Looking forward to the gym now.

Not International Chest Day

Since it seems Monday’s are International Chest Day I normally plan around that crap. I hate going into the gym and see all the chicken leg guys who have no backs, decent shoulders and great chests because that is all they train it seems. So today was my chest/bicep day.  One more week and I officially get released to start lifting heavy again. For those who don’t know I tore my pec completely off and had to have it surgically repaired. So it has been a lot of medium weight and higher than normal reps. Today I went back to what I know best. HIT/FST-7 combo training. Just old school compound movements and then a ball busting 7 sets of 8-10 reps.  I feel pretty good right now. A little sore in both the chest and biceps, but I continue to stretch for a few hours after the workout so that always help too.

I will slowly start to post up my routines without weights because what I lift will be different than what someone else lifts. Remember just throwing plates on there is not the name of the game when it comes to bodybuilding. It is about using weight to mold the muscle into something beautiful. Till next time.

Finally

Well after so many starts and stops and injuries. I am finally getting my butt in the gym to get prepped for a show. Plus I turn 40 next year and I want to be a rock solid muscled out 40. So I shall be posting up my workout routines. Maybe weight every so often and the occasional discussion about food. Not precisely what I am eating but a general guide. 

Also will be posting in here about restarting my management consultant business again.

Working to improve

Well it has been a while since I have logged in and updated with a blog post.  I really need to get better at this stuff.  Well it has been an interesting couple of months.  I have switched positions at the company and moved officially out of IT and into the operational side of the business.  I genuinely am enjoying the new job and once I have my diplomas in hand I will make the moves I need to secure my future in management. But enough about work.

I have been killing myself in the gym lately and have lost weight and have added lean mass like I have been needing to do.  Jamie’s plans always work and I am showing results because of it.  I also have started the Y3T program and have been invigorated by the work that goes into it.  If you have never done it then you need to look it up and get going.  Hopefully everyone has a good November and enjoys Turkey Day later this month.
