A couple odd rest days and some of mom’s homemade chili are all it takes to turn me into The Destroyer apparently. Great training session overall. I might have tweaked a couple things over all, but this was one for the books.

This was a quick session from before traveling to PAX. I had the good fortune to run into my buddy Roy who told me I looked like a Wolverine Variant. 😂

Killer day today, and also got to run into an old friend of mine who’s getting back into the swing of things. I was more than happy to share the energy!

No big events today, just a lot of Marvel Rivals. Still need to settle into a Duelist character I like, but I’ve been playing a lottttt of Cap and also Cloak/Dagger.
So far I like Moon Knight, Magic, Bucky, and Namor but I need more practice.
Looking forward to diving into comp soon. 👀

Training after a travel day and a long day beforehand, so fairly “subdued” for a training session but still showed up. Honestly don’t have a lot to say about this one, I’d say the thing that showed through here most was the value of Mental Toughness.

I regret to inform you all that Rivals is straight heat and that I’ll be spending too much time on it when everything else is accomplished. Looking forward to learning all the characters!

Sat in traffic for like two hours, managed to pull this off. I was honestly pretty chill for this training session, I moved at a super measured pace. I wasn’t expecting to be super high energy after sitting for that long, I’m just glad the diesel was there when needed.

Managed to get some great sets in, but also had the wisdom to reel it in a bit on some of the later sets. I’ll always swing for the fences on the opening set of an exercise, but I was feeling the fatigue from yesterday. Always have the “just one more” mindset regardless of day!

Woof, I might like starting the week with a heavy training session but I’m feeling it today. Might end up being a maintenance day, but I can bounce back.
For my D2 folks, anything we’re looking forward to this week? Still chasing IB rolls?
Rivals hopefuls, who are you hoping to play first?

Heavy training on Monday is the absolute best feeling and sets the tempo for the week imo. It’s easy to do “just one more” when that’s the bar. Really proud of the 535 row in particular, I had injured myself on that weight over a year ago so toppling that RPR pain feels amazing.

Small update. I've accepted some contract work at a local studio! While I'm relieved to finally have some income again, I'm still trying to help some of my other friends find work. The job hunt is soul crushing so I want to pay this fortune forward.

On one hand, I can endlessly nitpick my posing/weak points. On the other, it’s for giggles. I like to tell myself I would’ve excelled as a 60’s bodybuilder! Some great sets yesterday fueled by leftovers.
