Awesome workout,
Things with wife are better just need to realize just cause we are apart working means our love has faded. Just some adjusting we need to do as we are both making really good money and aggressively saving for our home ( still sucks being away though) but I'm in a much more positive mood about it all

Weighed in at like 213 but it is feeling pretty freaking solid I won't lie. My body is adjusting to this weight . I upped carbs up a little today I really do need them at work here climbing ladders and walkin around all day, and my workout benefited from it big time as did my general mood. Had about 300 grams and that seems to be my sweet spot !! Felt great not bloated and not lethargic, could have gymmed for hours but a guys gotta sleep .
Had 300 grams carbs 350 protein and roughly 100-130 fat( closer to 100)

Sick workout

Thx my man, I'm trying to mix up heavy and hypertrophy, and keep high intensity cardio in there somewhat. Also decided to target weak points more often ( hamstrings lacking , could use more upper chest,
Few other things. Tryin to post
Pics but says my images are too large which is odd, I'm looking scary mean at 215 I am having a good time!

4 am 20 min fasted cardio
20 min stretching/ hip thrusts

Hammy curls, stiff leg deads, good mornings and bicep circuit

Hamstrings are improving and so is my posture along with it, I sure neglected them for a while
