They're made to get you hooked and to turn you into a lifelong consumer. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Someone needs to fix the weather machine. Went from 70 and raining to 30 and snowing in the span of a few hours.

Lot of people are more sedentary than they think they are. Also, specifying if the food you're measuring is cooked or uncooked helps get a more accurate view of calories and macros. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Guess I'm lucky that nostr is where I get my bitcoin discourse.

Zap me if you like it! Feedback is always welcomed. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Very true! Our discipline and resiliency start with how we work on and care for ourselves. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Did some light pressing training while the tendons in my elbows recover more. Did some flat benching up to only 185 before I had to back off for comfort. After that I moved on to doing some seated overhead pin presses using a Swiss bar. The combination of a neutral grip, shallower elbow depth, and some extra stability from being seated was helpful. That's all I got up to training wise. https://blossom.primal.net/5c98f2cc11427824388968c8f82eb8368c620917c9d845b5ca510f9e5386ef02.mp4 npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong The more you know #nevent1q…ldjd npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong https://image.nostr.build/77ffe001c799f7c1431bc4a8e12c02425ba1e1607d1e335a54439e01ffb0d95e.png Training for Bitcoin Veterans! #RUNSTR #Strength #BitcoinVeterans npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Only had time for back squats today after my shift. Got up to 365 for a single and ended with a triple at 335. I did attempt 405, but it was not meant to be today; however, I'll try to see if I can use that recording for a how to bail on a squat example video (silver linings, right?). Tried out some new knee sleeves and I think they'll be a nice help. A bit tighter than what I'm used to, but they felt good. Next session will be better. Might try 385 instead. Lift heavy, it's fun. https://blossom.primal.net/834d07e9691306f4bbbc410e2465b25e9f51f00054142ae315d8fd6d5bbbadf4.mp4 npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong 🤣 npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong How well do hyrox and crossfit compliment each other in your experience? npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong It'll be a strongman competition. That's the kind of training I like to do. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong I've begun my last 6-8 weeks of a strength focused training plan before I begin to dial in on the event training for my upcoming competition. Starting this week with an upper body day. Benched up to 195 before going down to 180 for my working sets. Did single arm dumbbell rows after that since my lower back is a little sensitive right now around my sciatic nerve and I didn't want bent over rows to aggravate it. Did some seated overhead pressing following that and ended with some cable face pulls. Had a good time. Go pick up something a little heavy, it's fun. https://blossom.primal.net/cb784c278f679efeffacd2b572b405cdeb4add46139ff6bfc1a690512f9752e9.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/50a9045a490468d904ba958093a721b98b1f08ffc365c62d0a43b2f574a6d9a1.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Maybe it's due to the weekend, but I've been a little disappointed in this year's lack of resolutioners coming to the gym in my area. Need to see some new faces to motivate them and increase the chance that they'll make a long term commitment to a better, healthier life. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Well, shit #nevent1q…9769 npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Exciting news! I've registered for my first strongman comp in about 2 years. Competition will be in May so I got a 4 and a half months for prep. I'm fucking pumped! npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Got some good pulls in today. Worked up to 475 lbs, so I'm right where I want to be to start the year. Backed off to 415 for 4 and finished with paused deadlifts at 385 for 4. Good fun. https://blossom.primal.net/291edd2671f093b903dd950d57b9f85e36db3b955b99f6e99035f5eaf1ab8428.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/58ae809b9f503d315561424065c243f99e92b7992623de81d762968e41ef9291.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong The gym I work at was closed today, so I got a day pass at a 24/7 place I've been wanting to check out. Nice place. Had a wonderful upper body session. Nice way to start the year. No videos. That place is a little more cramped and I didn't feel like setting up in people's way. https://blossom.primal.net/4cc2e79ac8f4c65746826ac08d5a1a90a0411d948d8c66a3a870063c82c7ecb0.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Once more around the sun we go again. It's been a year full of changes and unexpected challenges. Despite new and returning obstacles, I've pushed forward and am looking forward to facing what lies ahead. If you're interested in jumping into fitness or improving how you already train, send me message. I'm always down to help work towards your success however I can. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Last upper body day of 2025. Finally got my bench back up to 205 lbs. It's been a while for that. Followed that up with seated barbell shoulder presses and ended with some T bar rows. One last training session for the year to go. Let's end strong! https://blossom.primal.net/47a4cc58c20e1d489a7b38a43b333afa2e13fec80989baec3f6f7581476663b0.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/bb102d303d951616f5d0379bda9431c35de17bf1c92b3c8240d4ac5ea1f81fe0.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Today was the last deadlift session of the year. And it was a good one. Worked up to 465 for a single. Was a little more challenging compared to last week, but it still went up. Backed off to 405 for, surprisingly, 4 reps. Backed off again to 375 for 2 sets of 4 paused reps. Good pulls. Good day. https://blossom.primal.net/954d6608d9f1caded73ed6ae62364581eed6eabc6153477e3ea7ba0c2a42decd.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/95777548d63f7d22aa2f6d84419173a1a61ca3335a4796f3ffe77ef348fd0800.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Trained legs yesterday. Did not feel strong. Worked up to 335 on squats. Failed my top set of 365. RDLs and leg press went alright though. Did some drop sets with the leg press switching from bilateral to just my left leg. Noticed that it's a little underdeveloped compared to my right. Haven't failed a squat in a while. But that's ok, failure's a part of progress. No videos this time, weight room was a little crowded. https://blossom.primal.net/f60d6512c66133080722227e40dd76f460c54d1255306feb5fd7b954db356d21.png npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong That's a fair point. Depending on how well he's doing, we can go to 95% of max as singles in week 3 and then week 4 would be singles around 97-98%. Having doubles at 92% in week 3 is just a little bit more of a cautious, conservative approach. The goal is to minimize cns fatigue and to protect his joints and tendons as much as possible. But we can definitely adjust the loads and intensity if he's not being sufficiently challenged by the 3rd week. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Longer note. Got a draft of the peaking program I'm designing fleshed out. But I'm open to suggestions and critiques to make it as well planned as possible. So I'll be posting it in case anyone wants to take a look at it. Most of the accessory exercises have TBD for their loads. This is to enable some agency for my friend. Let him pick the appropriate load for the target rep ranges since he has a better sense of where he is for the those. Also, accessory exercises were chosen to enhance how he already squats and benches (no need to change what already works).

Today was an upper body day. Did some light benching to warm up. Went to bent over rows after that. Practiced my axel bar push press with almost all the equipment I'd wear for a heavy single. Need to improve my front rack position. Finished the day with seated cable rows. https://blossom.primal.net/5360387598bb27cac2fad9a84524617027abd76d31e64c20749cfb470f697524.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/3f40a3b2ba55098885d45627bf9a6f2492d708eaae45373ae35eaae9549be0e0.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong It's nice to feel stronger again. I dropped about 23 lbs from September to the end of October and it was a big adjustment before the muscle memory really started to kick in npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Great deadlifting session today. Tried out a new preworkout and it's a heavy hitter. Finally pulled 440 for the first since my diabetes diagnosis. Jumped to 455 after that, and my top set for the day was at 465 https://blossom.primal.net/e2bb7e31e605823e7bde2f3a3a09069b8e4a0dc306339da89660f0ae9ae97247.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/99c69276114c969e06e617c7843e83b0cefe1d73ce1e85a68ee67fe11f7610b8.jpg . Back off set was at 385x4. Finished with a set of snatch grip deadlifts at 335. Those were at a much more appropriate load than last time. Guess 475 is the goal for the end of the year. We'll see how that goes before I start working towards 500. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong One of my big gym homies is giving me the chance to design a squat and bench peaking program for him to start the new year with. Lot of trust from him. Very exciting. Looking forward to the challenge. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Was able to squeeze in an upper body workout. Low volume with my OHP since my elbow's bothering me some. Also used the Swiss bar for more of a neutral grip. Worked up to a couple of singles at 135. Did some t bar rows with the v grip. Finished up with tricep pushdowns and some cable hammer curls. Maybe a bit rushed, but still nice and fun. https://blossom.primal.net/55a847f19cdc615af20b2fb1cee873a1ecc93cb685d78c4eb34984fa19e38dd4.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/56ac7b284786cbd616d4ead3f8980cd5947e0b08ac426a5184ae0b7ba95e020b.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong I'm glad you got a system worked out for preventative care npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong I know exactly what you mean. Those cracked discs were the Air Force's parting gift to me lol npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Improving hip mobility and strengthening both the core and posterior chain has been beneficial with my pain in my lower back from herniated discs. Anecdotal of course, but having a rough idea where muscular pains originate from in the kinetic chain is always helpful. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Squats went well today. Worked up to 375 for a single followed back a back off triple at 325. Did RDLs after that. Started at 225 and finished with 275. Ended the session with some leg extensions. Aiming to squat either 385 or 390 next week. Everything's progressing rather well. Let's see how my legs feel in a couple of days. https://blossom.primal.net/35bfb555e62bb03b5a614a792d179b7bc5d3e7ebdf544a061f2f6226966e3ab0.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/d739c1baec43ed1625f544a63f23f81473d041d88cfaf150ab2008b9618bf783.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Actually had some time today for a decent upper body workout. Focused a bit more on what I would consider more accessory exercises. Did some incline barbell bench press, bent over rows, dumbbell shoulder press, single arm dumbbell rows, lateral dumbbell raises superset with bent over reverse flys, and some face pulls. Good day. Squats are tomorrow. https://blossom.primal.net/547cce2e95380c67c4838fd7d664168c9e5b957f185494729b5fc39dd334f091.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/9e07d72a410b9d4843e6c3fef5514b001937de756352a8e17cca7d55a64defe6.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Awesome day working at the gym today. Good amount of people pushing themselves and each other. Feels good helping build that culture of strength in the local community. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong The app I currently use counts warm up sets. Its closer to 7. And it's all I did today too npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Had a great deadlifting session. Still a bit congested, but that didn't matter today. Got up to 425lbs for a single and worked back down to 390 conventional. There was enough time left today to finish with a set of snatch grip deadlifts. Kinda overestimated the difficulty. Will definitely need to up the weight next time. Feeling fucking great. https://blossom.primal.net/b20d5c87dca04df2d5b40acf2d280c06946a1f61c38fe128af57f9d2bc13a96a.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/c4e823a18794bc66235a222126e57a06526eee2e43f26ef9896fe5455e93e995.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong That's still great depth npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Felt well enough today to lift a little bit.

After warmups, I did sets of 405 lbsx1, 415x1, 425x1, with a backoff set of 380x4. Attempted 440, but I wasn't quite back up to that weight this week. Tried keeping my hips higher in my starting position to see if that provides me more leverage compared to how I normally set them. https://blossom.primal.net/5f8a7baf962cf40548ade56c7a3c71dde1f11d8cdd620d21fbcd98e4d4ebc8c9.mp4 npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Understood. I'll be on the lookout for the Android release npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Is it only available on iOS for now? npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong I'll have to check it out npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong It is. That's a good eye you got there. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Had a nice upper body day. Everything felt pretty good. There's some elbow pain from squatting earlier this week, but some shoulder mobility work will alleviate that. After doing some axel presses, I've finally tested the waters on my 3 main lifts. I'll see where I can get them to by the end of year, then we'll set progression goals. https://blossom.primal.net/81e52e6f667030b81a16a81785681a74a97ca1b11423708b715eba3fe1fca468.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/705774257bf3b5c0f790864baaf5509111dcebd65827d02422efe49fa26fe395.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Good squat day yesterday. Recorded my last set, a triple at 315 lbs. Depth was tolerable, but that'll improve as I progress in weight. Worked up to 365 for a single. Wish I recorded that one, but I didn't think I'd get it. Looks like 405 might be possible for the end of the year. Thanks muscle memory. Also did barbell RDLs up to 225, and sandbag over shoulder and sandbag squats with my 200 lbs bag. https://blossom.primal.net/c45e19365d8b53b5034b0a51c68be16467cea3689415f62c15a2d4f7aa101db6.mp4 npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Not a lot of time for my workout this morning. The fiat mines called me in early today. Upped the reps and decreased the load to create some intensity for such a short session. Went with 2 compound exercises so that most of the upper body was still worked. https://blossom.primal.net/02817d2b029ea7d30001d6826dd6bdc8db02893d5a7b335fd9812ebdac8419e5.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Thank you! Starting over after a break is always humbling npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Nice, little deadlift session today. Good use of all those Thanksgiving carbs calories. The three top sets from today are 365 lbs x 1, 405x1, and a back off for 375x2. Slowly building my strength back up. 405 wasn't moving much 3 weeks ago. https://blossom.primal.net/b51dfd0bb7eefdd4bce1144d71c477b49ec59c573920efbff86dd424b11168b4.mp4 https://blossom.primal.net/ed694e0c86c14ea27f2ac49d864ecfedfc36dfec1bbd63df533c47209e14ad01.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Sorry to hear that. Hope it recovers well enough before your comp npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong I haven't recorded any lifts in a while. When I was, I mainly put them on Instagram. Time to stop being camera shy. Thank you. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Those squats are looking good.

They want us to become desensitized to it. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Haven't been lifting like I used to since the beginning of September. Lots of changes have happened for health reasons (diabetes). Made some dietary adjustments (mainly a big carb cut) and altered my approach to exercise (a lot more aerobic work with body weight exercises). I'm finally at a point where my glucose levels are consistently where I want them. As a result, I have, thankfully, started actual weight training again today. No big crash during my lifts nor the run that followed. Got a rough idea for the program I want follow for a hypertrophy phase (I've lost 25ish lbs and need to build my muscle mass back up). I'll share it after I test it out and fine tune it. Very excited to be moving that iron again! npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Tonight has been a wonderful time unplugged and making memories with my kids. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Who needs a constitution anyway, right?

Finally took that shit off my phone. Some habits to be broken for sure, but that's just a few days. I can just do it. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong True. I can definitely see that npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong That's fucked up. There's a deep failing in the family, culture, society, somewhere where going into that kind of work is seen as having a better upside for young women then other options they see in front of them.

Nothing good comes from that fucker's actions. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Made it to 10 years of marriage.

Moving weight makes me feel great npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Love seeing people working hard to push themselves while I'm at work. And seeing parents bring their kids in to introduce them weightlifting and fitness warms warms my heart. I believe that schools, especially in the US, have failed to educate children about health and wellness, so it's good to see some patents step up. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Just completed a run with Runstr! 🏃♂️💨 ⏱️ Duration: 00:38:06 📏 Distance: 3.36 mi ⚡ Pace: 11.34 min/mi 🔥 Calories: 356 kcal 🏔️ Elevation Gain: 122 ft 📉 Elevation Loss: 134 ft First run with Runstr and I doubt I'll go back to strava or anything else.

Spare a moment for yourself and put your best into you. That "me time" isn't selfish, it's important for self care. What we do and who we are suffers when we're feeling depressed, anxious, distracted, or just feeling like shit in general. npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Only got a couple of exercises in today, but had some quality sets. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym https://image.nostr.build/f16986946264b0d81cc034ee00064c167cd1c2edef84565ebf42797070e22b9c.jpg npub13gwqn4typplrvvgw9v23f7f5tv3gwfd2xq7xj2jrncyfdsddr55qqfhupe AntStrong Didn't have too much time to exercise before work, so I reminded myself that we don't need a lot of time to bust out a decent workout nor do we need a lot of equipment.
