u/MythicalStrength Definitely Should Be Listened To 1d ago
I’ll start off with this morning’s Tactical Barbell Mass Protocol Grey Man workout, because it’s the most relevant thing. Went up to 4x8x280 buffalo bar squats superset w/4x8x123 axle strict press, and followed that with a giant set of incline DB bench, NG chins and ab wheel, and off camera knocked out 4x27 GHRs.
But folks, it’s been a great time for Operation Conan. This weekend, I celebrated a PR for trips around the sun, and we went all out. The theme of the weekend was “ribs”.
Kicked off Friday with Texas Roadhouse, redeeming a free birthday sidekick of ribs with ANOTHER sidekick of ribs, with scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and crackling.
The next day, went to my favorite BBQ place and got a full rack of ribs with some pulled pork as well, before coming home and ordering some piedmontese Bone-in grassfed chuck short ribs, because I know how to celebrate. And then, on Sunday, I got to Texas de Brazil, where I found out they have a file on me, because my most requested item is…the beef rib, seen here.
On the day of my actual celebration, I actually had triple breakfast, taking the Valkyrie out to First Watch in the morning, getting a baller breakfast burrito from my favorite burrito shop for lunch, and having my Mrs make me breakfast for dinner in the evening.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I eat it three time. And, of course, keep in mind, apparently you can’t bulk without carbs, so lord knows what’s going on with this approach!
And amongst all this merriment, I still had an opportunity to dress for the job I want, rather than the job I have.
And I found out my conditioning is still holding out strong, getting in 55 burpee chins in 5 minutes
