Nope, if I'm lucky I get 6 hours but on a norm, it's around 4 hours with a couple short naps throughout the day.

I can't complain much because Staci still lets me go to the gym and doesn't complain about it. She even told me to leave the house and go on occasions

Weekend off. Have fun guys

[icehog3]

Enjoy, Huy.

I'm off today, International Chest Day and hockey manana.

[Sancho]

Thanks Tom! Yeah I'm doing alright, 4 hour stretches at night with 2-3 wake ups. Being the third time through were fairly seasoned to the road ahead. I actually was at the gym more while off for paternity leave than normal, such is life.

Nice work Tom and Huy! Day off today spreading mulch, back at it tomorrow

[swingerofbirches]

Went camping Fri & Sat ... bad food and not much working out.

Well, got a lift in friday afternoon (volume shoulder day, since my elbow was in the mood) and I'm still sore. But I'm gonna have to pay a heavy price for my dietary sins this week as far as cardio is concerned.

[icehog3]

Hope the shoulder feels better soon, Charlie.

International Chest Day, able to do flat barbell bench for the first time in many weeks. That problem in my back (muscle, kidney, I dunno) is much better only went up to 265, but felt good, no pain. Finished with inclines, declines and flyes.

[swingerofbirches]

Glad you got good work done, Tom! Hope your back straightens up (pun intended lol)

My shoulder feels good ... just sore from a more hypertrophic lift last Friday. So in pain but in a good way

[Adriftpanda]

Nice sets guys! Looks like the injuries are slipping away, glad to hear both Tom and Charlie are feeling better.

Apparently the sleep withdrawal of the last few days caught me, haven't had a push day this poor in a while. Sa la vie

[icehog3]

Great days, Men! Crazy leg day, Charlie, awesome! You guys keep me inspired!

[swingerofbirches]

You were particularly inspired by my ambitious 15min of elliptical, weren't you? LOL

I nearly didn't even list that. LOL

Good stuff, Chris!
What's up next, Tom?

[icehog3]

Today is shoulders and triceps, Charlie.

Tomorrow is legs and biceps, and a late hockey game, so will be a low volume leg day.

[swingerofbirches]

Taking my friends Group Powet (HIIT) class again this week. I'm sure it'll be a blast after ytrdy' leg workout. 2 scoops today! LOL

Be honest Tom (and any one else who takes pre-workout) ... ever do 3 scoops? lol

[icehog3]

Oh yeah, Charlie. Happens more frequently than you think.

[swingerofbirches]

LOL that actually makes me feel better, as I've been teetering on the edge of moving up to an occasional 3 scoops for a little while now.

[Adriftpanda]

I take half the jar sometimes.

[swingerofbirches]

lol nice Huy

Well I'm good and sore (esp the knees) after Legs on Monday and HIIT ytrdy .. so today is just gonna be some low impact cardio (elliptical) for calorie/fat burning purposes only.
