Food update: Yesterday: Today:

241.2 pounds this morning. 4900 calories yesterday. Back workout this afternoon. Lat pulldowns: Warmup: 180lbs: 1x10 195 lbs: 1x10 Decided to try to go up in weight today. Last time lat pulls were 230 lbs: 235: 5x5 All pretty decent sets. One good thing about lat pulldowns: you...

192.6 this morning. Man, I'm really getting frustrated! I'm eating as much as I can stand - admittedly not enough, and up and down a little bit - but can't I get a couple of pounds??? I'll keep plugging away, but the lack of weight gain is pissing me off. Maybe I'm not training frequently...

I don't know about this place; it's a small, practice facility. The ice rink is 35' x 60' or something like that, as opposed to an NHL regulation rink which is 60' x 200'. One of the guys I played with years ago was the operations manager of a facility with two "sheets" (two full size sheets...

I'll try to superset with Bulgarian Split Squats instead. That's a good exercise for skating. I need to get a half bosu ball for these; that's supposed to be good for skating balance.

It's quite a system. It's an industrial chiller which circulates sub freezing temp glycol (sub freezing for water, not for glycol) through a series of 1/2" tubes which are spaced close together. Sometimes the tubes are on concrete; sometimes sand. In this case, concrete. Water is sprayed...

I'm trying brother.

Hockey was canceled yesterday due to rink repairs. Ice was being made yesterday, so no skating. I was disappointed but it was a blessing, really. LOTS to do around here... I took the day off from training and worked. 193 this morning. 194 the past couple days. Leg day today. Squats...

Hockey game Tuesday night. I keep saying this and I continue NOT to do it: I need to start doing wind sprints. If I don't improve my cardio performance I'm going to be gassed during the tryouts in the fall. I played pretty well, and I can pretty much keep up with the fastest skaters, almost...

Weight this morning: 192.6. Still hovering. I'm getting pretty frustrated with the lack of weight gain. At least I'm not getting fat... I'm eating as much as I can - I feel uncomfortably full much of the time and I'm nowhere near the 600g carbs SuperAbs Vin suggests. Yesterday's macros...

I currently take magnesium and zinc. I'll add melatonin (I have some) and get valerian and add it, see if that helps me.

Chest workout today. Forcing myself to do it because I'm so tired. Warmup: empty bar bench press: 1x30 Lateral db raises: 10 lbs 1x10 with a couple second hold at the top Front db raises: 10 lbs 1x10 with a couple seconds hold at the top. Also shoulder stretching using a PVC pipe. Hold...

Why bad sleep? Been trying to figure this out for years. Multiple factors, I think. I have just recently concluded I may have "Restless Legs Syndrome." Much worse after hockey or a heavy leg workout. That fits with what I've read about it. Sleep aids: I've been taking something lately...

I had several nights in a row of terrible sleep this week, Sunday through Wednesday. Much better Thursday and last night. Hockey game Wednesday night (I expect to sleep poorly after hockey, but this week was worse than usual). My regular coaching session Thursday was canceled due to rink...

I'll see what I can do... Not sure I can fit that much regularly! Lol!
