Today was a bit frustrating as the gym is increasing in number of clients and it is growing difficult to find open bench weights and equipment for my lifts.
Plus all these people standing around talking wasting time plus what is up with people group lifting? I can understand one person, why yall need 4-5 people with u taking up space and room doing nothing.
I utilized the assisted pull up machine, I bent over it put my arms on each side and did a modified bench press pushing towards the floor, and on the way up I slowed the movement way down putting time under tension, so basically a modified press for chest, all the shit was taken up so I had to do what I had to do for that one. I just adapt and keep on trucking
.
Being off cycle has shown me how much of a blessing it is to have approved sources with high quality gear, after experiencing the difficulties and differences in the mind and the body being off vs on, it has truly humbled me and made me thankful and very grateful to train both ways and truly have a high appreciation for the compounds, as well as how hard I have to work wether I'm on or I'm off it has helped me grow mentally a hell of alot and I love that it had opened that door for me , train the mind and the body will follow is how I see it.
It had helped me learn and give me a first hand perspective on how blessed of a feeling it is having access to these sources and to be part of a positive community of vets and people.
everyone who reads learns and continues to support me and my logs and my journey i am very thankful and appreciative of every one for getting behind me and constantly pushing me to be my best and reach new levels and step onto the stage one day. I am so proud to be a part of our community, it truly makes all the difference and helps me push on the days I feel I don't got it, I remember the community has my back and I need to get after it no bs no excuses.
I wish I could have done more but I had to work with what I had available sadly since to many people in the way today.
