went for a couple of longish walks today, one to get my haircut and one with the dog. slightly headachey, not sure why. no run.

did make what i think is my first-ever recording of myself playing and singing a song all the way through. gonna share it here because it's more of a progress update than any of my wheel-spinning runs have been. still don't quite have the precision or the timing down (although it didn't help that my hands are cold right now, this isn't the best i've played by any stretch) and obviously i am not much of a singer. but it feels good to make music.

sick!! that was fun to listen to. really cool man. sure looks like it feels good to make music ;f

audio sounded good too. my phone cant record audio like that when i was playing, would get all messed up.

pc!

bout to do a ton of farm stuff !!

these are like 6+ hour workouts lool. love it.

just trying to get a section around the house controlled and looking beautiful all the time. that's my plan before 2022.

in other news, as of today i have a girlfriend! hah. we met in such an odd/awesome way. her and I hit it off really good 2 weeks ago.. and like, 2 weeks is mad early to be bf/gf but we're already like it's obvious, let's just commit and figure it out between us. we've been having a great time & get along so well. I even met her dad on Friday hah. That went really good.. family is so important to her which i absolutely love.

but ya she's mad cool. so adventurous/fun/spontaneous/polite/good hearted/interesting/smart/loves nature+animals etc <3

her in my cowboy hat today..



haven't been able to stop smiling since i met her lol. that's a good sign imho ;f

gn!

single arm db bench: 60 lb. @ 5 x 10-13

2021-09-27

tons of dips/pullups with 10 lb backpack, also parallel squat 135 @ 3 x 10

2021-09-23

hit 135 lb x 20 today on breathing squat. already back there. nice. can't wait until i can throw it around like a toy again ;f

need to take it slow tho. lots of farm life will stress my back/legs soo..

But if you are already very lean, so there is minimal fat to lose, while you won't put weight so also minimal (if any) muscle to build, how will you further enhance your physique?
This is not an argument to convince you, this is a sincere question.

nah im not very lean. im probably 9-10% body fat or so. very lean for me is 6-7%-ish. only there when peak dunking, 100 mi/wk running, and boxing.

i just don't like bulking. if i made these improvements with no progressive overload, just really need to add some overload (weighted dips/pullups) and adding back in heavy high rep squatting will be the major stimulus. it takes a long time to build muscle regardless, so i just like taking it slow. that same muscle will grow without a light bulk, as long as i keep the frequency. heavy bulk would def put on the most muscle but, need to stay in really good shape running-wise etc.

and i'd rather be more shredded than less shredded so, def dont want to bulk on any fat.

dno if that makes sense ;f
