Back from another trip upstate. Putting down a deposit on a pretty nice apartment close by the new job. Gonna be a bit of an adjustment. Hope the tiny little gym in the village I'm working in will suffice for my needs. I definitely don't think it has all the machines a commercial gym has that I've gotten used to. I didn't even spot a lat pulldown machine in there when I looked it over.

Weigh-In: 278.4

RDL 275x5, 225x9
Leg Extension 150x15,8,5 (28 total)
Lying Leg Curl 120x13,4,2 (19 total)

Felt like crap today from another attempt to take zoloft. I'm going to try and stick with it and see if the fatigue issues dissipate. This workout was especially bad though. It felt like it was my first time exercising after doing nothing for months. I was so out of breath and had a headache and nausea. Anyway, the leg curl machine I used was different from the one I'd used previously, I had issues completing the range of motion on reps after the first set. I was going to do some kind of ab thing but I felt like decline situps with an upset stomach were a really fucking bad idea.

Weigh-In: 277.8

Pause Press 125x7, 125x10
Yates Row 140x5, 110x9
DB Incline 65x10, 50x13
Pulldown (Prone) 185x10,150x13
EZ Bar Reverse Curl 50x17,9,6 (32 total)

Still feeling out of it today, still working with reduced appetite from the nausea (from the meds). Bummed I lost a rep on the presses, I think maybe I started too heavy with these. Skipped the triceps extensions. Probably shouldn't have, but I am still feeling kinda crappy and not eating at 100%. Also, it's getting annoying having to go get a bench by the dumbbells a second time. I might have to do something else here. Definitely gonna drop the pause presses since they seem stuck.

Weigh-In: 273.8

Leg Press 375x10x3
Hammer Incline 90x10x3
Hammer Row 180x10x3

Meds have truly fucked me up. I have been unable to do a full days worth of eating for several days now. I called them quits yesterday. I don't know how long until I'm back to anything resembling normal. Anxiety from the coming mood is not a help. At least I am starting to eat more again without having to throw up. Went in for a more concise light workout today just to do SOMETHING, the two hammer machines were done like rest-pause with 30 seconds rest. Still felt utterly exhausting to get through despite how easy it was in terms of strength. Probably gonna do another one in this vein on friday with some different exercises. No idea what's coming for next week, the move is probably happening on that weekend.

Weigh-In: 271.6

RDL 275x5x3
Hammer Shoulder Press 70x20,10,6 (36 total)
Pulldown (supine) 195x15,5,3 (23 total)

Doing a little better. Still feeling the lack of energy from the calorie deficit. The pulldown machine was crapping out and causing increased friction on sets 2 and 3, Not going to miss these LA Fitness disasters.

No weigh-in today, forgot it again. Hasn't gone back up over 275 yet, though. Still doing this 2 days per week thing to allow more time for the moving.

Weigh-In: 275.4

RDL 275x5, 225x9
Hammer Shoulder Press 80x20,9,5 (34 total)
Pulldown (Supine) 190x15,8,5 (28 total)
Leg Press 405x20
Hammer Incline 115x16,5,4 (25 total)
Hammer Row 230x20,10,7 (37 total)

Went kind crazy today, things have been so hard to schedule around that I don't know when I'm gonna get to be in the gym again. So today I tried to just cover everything. Obviously the hammer incline suffered because I did the shoulder press earlier.

Squat 225x5x3
Bench 185x5x3
Deadlift 315x5x3

No weigh in, need to find my scale. First workout after moving. New gym is neat. Small place and old equipment, but good selection. Even has complimentary chalk, and a full deadlift jack.

Weights felt heavy. Havent been eating a lot and training was sparse. Next week im starting on a schedule again. Dont let anyone tell you the stabilizing component of free weights doesnt matter. It does. Id been pressing with machines only a few weeks and that was the wobbliest benching ive ever done.
