Establishing a Baseline.
Note to self: do “Sunday Assessments” again. Another squat workout in the books. In reflecting on my progress so far, it’s a mixed feeling of just how far I’ve come, and also “that’s it?” And ...
This warrants Taco Bell™.
I squatted 235 lbs for a double. I think this is the third post I’ve made about this? Guess I’m trying to repeat it to myself, as it doesn’t feel like much of an accomplishment. Oh well, walked ...
I'm going to sleep good tonight. : )
I try to look at the big picture. I’m pushing forty and my bench/squat/deadlift is still in the 1/2/3 plate range. I doubt I’ll ever reach 2/3/4 plates; but I do know that when I’m 70 I will ...
Lifting, Expounded.
Who knows where I’ll be in six months, so should write some of this out. Rather than assume the routine will always be the routine. I could get hit my a car tomorrow and not be able to lift eve...
Week 6, Lower B. (& tattoo thoughts)
I don’t feel like googling if this qualifies as biphasic sleep. Slept 3 hours. Gymmed. Slept 3 more hours. I feel good? Wednesday, August 4th, 2021 Crux: 6:23 AM - 7:21 PM (58 minutes) Yester...
Benefits of Fasted Cardio.
1: Saves time. 2: Gets me out the door before I have a chance to wake up and argue with myself. Nope, no snark. If it must be said, it doesn’t do much for you in terms of calories burned. If...

Show up.
The worst routine done pedal to the metal is still better than the best routine done half-assed. Concurrently, the best routine is the one you actually do. And. From personal observation across ...
Reconstruction.
No, no, not that boring part of US History. It has been years since I had any consistency in the gym. So many starts and stops in the past five years. Seems so long since I was a registered gym...
Glow.
I’m trying to absorb the post-workout moment. Or moments. Morning-of motivation varies from day-to-day. Sometimes I wake up exhausted. Sometimes I really did sleep well, but it still takes a b...

Book Description
Timmy’s exerbabble for the year 2015 (and beyond). Transcribing breeds accountability. And years of logs makes it useful to track progress. I pick things up and put them down.
