Starting our I posted some after cardio photos.
As soon as I get home meal time, I certainly earned this meal.


Cardio was originally going for 45 minutes up hill, something in me said don't he lazy don't waste time go after it and get it done here and now.

So I did 65 minutes of uphill cardio burned 728 calories and went over 3miles today. Yesterday I believe I did 45 minutes up hill at 2.4 Miles and 521 calories.

i am trying for little improvements each day and setting goal after goal to stay driven and hungry.


As promised for the log the gains and my goals and for all the crazy support everyone has been so kind showing me. I know I say it alot, it is because I truly mean this without all of you this wouldn't be possible.

The best thing I have done for my mental health and happiness was coming back being apart of this great community and showing all of you my journey from the worst point now and hopefully my best self in the future.

Thank you all
Topps

(4-26-23 PHASE ONE Back + Traps )

I started today with Dead Hang Pull-Up
3x6@219lbs ( body weight )

Overall I felt strong, I like to work with grip strength and Forearm strength when I do Pull-ups. One having strong forearms helps me with Pulling motions alot and handling heavier weight loading.

Second up today was (Deadlifting)
I started out with a few warmups (1x10@115lbs) ( 1X10@145lbs )
(1x10@175lbs)

( my 3 working sets ) (1×10@225lbs)
(1x6@255lbs) (1x6@315lbs)

I will admit I haven't done deadlifts in 4 months in order to see where I was I needed to go a little heavier, it was taxing and fun at the same time, it felt amazing hitting 315lbs for 6 good ones, I credit alot of help with the grip and forearm strength training I do as it wasn't my grip that didn't want the tension it was my back, I could tell if I push any further the reps and set would be sloppy and bad, I can't train like that it has to be cleand or I'm upset and let myself down and it doesn't count as a rep. (for my reps) I did

drop back down and hit ( 1x10@225 and it felt easy after working upward at 315lbs for 6reps


Next up (Bent Over Row) (warm-up) ( 1x10@145lbs) ( 1X10@175lbs )

(Working sets )( 2x10@225lbs) 1x10@245lbs)

these felt extremely good especially after hitting deadlifts, my pulling is increasing little by little each week and for the first time this year I hit 245lbs for 10 which I could not do a couple months ago ( I really feel this forearm training working well for me happy I implemented it in months ago ( the deadhang pull-ups I feel also are increasing my pulling power ( it is amazing what a few tweaks here and there can really do for you over time )

DB Shoulder Shrug ( 1x10@35lbs warmup

(Working sets ) ( 1x10@40lbs ) 1x10@45lbs) (1x10@50lbs)

To increase difficulty I did DB shurgs ( no breaks in between sets and hit BB Shrugs after no breaks and went back and fourth between both for a total of 6 sets.

Wanted to push myself and the tempo since it was the end of my workout.

(BB shrugs behind the back reverse grip)
(Working sets) (1x10@175lbs) (2x10@205lbs)

I was jacked hitting these numbers stepping back a bit from the crushing volume I typically do has been paying off with just two training sessions. Again I have to say Working on grip strength was a key part of this.

Overall I started my workout at 12:40pm I got out by 1:40pm ( cardio 45 minutes tonight after im off work ) ran out of time but we don't make excuses and skip it we go back and get it done.

One way I will reach my goals and body is by sure will and having a committed mindset.

Enjoy the update everyone
