That's all I did today. Just too lazy. Will do shoulders during tomorrows leg workout. And if I'm lazy tomorrow, I'll push calves and abs to Saturday.

meermin.es

cheaper than allen edmonds, quality is as good, shoes look better. meermin are probably the cheapest dress shoes you should buy.

Wow those are some good prices for good dress shoes...

i ended up getting a couple of allen edmonds on black friday for $197 each. i could still return them, but i figured i'd snag them incase i dont find a better alternative... and they come in width EEE. Which for the shoes I bought, is exactly what i needed. it's the first time in my life that dress shoes fit me properly!

What a great workout. Seems like 2 work sets is the sweet spot for me! Also getting in a mix of high and low reps. I'll keep this up for a while and see how it works out.

Was supposed to lift Friday, but I was so sleep deprived I just didn't feel good at all.
Lifted Saturday instead, still pretty sleep deprived so I skipped my backup set of squats and skipped lunges completely. On Sunday I'll do my standing calf raises and abs to finish the week.

Should mention that im back to intermittent fasting. My weight will probably stay the same for the next few months, then i'll do a quick cut before the summer.

Sticking with mainly 2 work sets. I think this will work great for me. On the bigger lifts, I'm doing 5 reps then 10 reps. Mixed rep ranges have worked very well for me in the past.

Damn work was pretty boring. I would be so depressed working here if I didn't have deloitte at the end of the tunnel. The commute is long, and there's zero room for growth. Would be the perfect job to have (assuming the commute was short) once I'm in my 30's though, if I could land some higher level (well paying) position and want a good work/life balance and job security.

But i can't complain! I've finally stopped collecting unemployment benefits and can support myself  :ibsquatting:

Ended up getting myself a pair of Nike Free Flyknit 4.0's on black friday for $39.

My only regret is not getting 3 pairs. I will be wearing these every damn day, they are so comfy and are kind of wide so they fit my feet perfectly!
