Alright, time to give myself some credit. I’ve been hitting the gym at 3 in the freakin’ morning, not just once or twice, but 3+ times a week for the past seven weeks. That’s nearly two months of pure consistency. Honestly, I’m kinda amazed at myself. This level of commitment is something I didn’t think I had in me before, but here I am, kicking ass and making gains.

Hey everyone!
I’ve been on this wild journey of getting my workouts done at 3 in the morning. Yeah, you read that right—3 AM! I know it sounds crazy, but honestly, it’s been working out great for me. The gym is super quiet at that time, no distractions, just me and my goals. Plus, there’s something pretty cool about getting a workout in before most people are even awake. It sets the tone for the rest of my day.
I feel like I’m getting some solid results from this early morning routine. My energy levels are up, and I’m definitely seeing some muscle gains. But here’s the thing: I’ve noticed my body is starting to feel a bit tight. All these weightlifting sessions have been great, but I think it’s time to show my muscles some love with a bit of stretching.

I’ve barely posted anything lately, but I’ve still been hitting the gym at least 3 times a week. I’m still kicking it with the “old guys” around 3am. It seriously is the best time to go to the gym.
The site was online for a bit :/ One of my other sites was hacked, and since they are all connected, it allowed for their scripts to fuck with this one too. Fucking pita, cleaning it up.
It wasn’t the best workout, but I still showed up and did what I could in the time I had.
This was the first leg workout in a while. Sadly, the hardest part was stretching my arms to hold the bar while doing squats. I need to do yoga.
Repeat after me. Tattooing the palm of the hand hurts and makes it harder to workout. That said, today’s workout was decent enough. I was so close to just laying in bed this morning. But I didn’t! I drug my ass to the gym. Go me!!
I ache a lot, especially my shoulder. I’ve been afraid it’s a rotator cuff injury, but after talking to a mate of mine, I think it’s more of a stretching issue.
I’ve actually been considering doing the OG P90X Yoga on my own accord. That’s how much I want to limber up.
Today’s workout wasn’t “one for the books,” but I worked out, and that’s what matters, right‽
Short workouts, but that is better than nothing. I’ve had this nerve-like pain in my right arm for ages. It doesn’t feel muscle related, but whatever it is, is kicking my ass. I’m trying to just power through it.

I picked up some inserts for my shoes. They will have to do until I can afford to get a decent pair of running shoes. I ran with them the other day, but they made my feet feel like they were constantly being pushed out of my shoes.
They were a bit uncomfortable, but I figured it was just me having to get used to them. They definitely made a difference. My shins still hurt, but nothing like they had on previous runs.
It was suggested to me to take out the old soles before putting the new ones in. I feel like a fucking idiot for not thinking of that myself.
I’ll be giving them another try (propertly) tonight.
This morning I skipped my run and just did regular strength training. It’s me getting back into it so I wasn’t expecting too much. I also have this weird strain in my chest. Even with light weights on the bar it feels like 1 strand of muscle is being pulled from the top of my left pec. I guess for now, I’ll just make sure I’m properly stretched and take it easy on the weight used.
That’s not the problem though. The problem is that I want to run. The problem with that is I have always hated running. Hated. It’s definitely throwing my brain for a loop. Stupid brain. Stupid legs.
These shin splints are killing me. I think for a couple weeks I am going to run every other day and start back with weight training on the days in between. I don’t want to drop running entirely, and I’m afraid if I stop doing something for any amount of time it will be a pain in the ass to get back into it. So hopefully running ever other day for a couple weeks will help in healing these fuckers.
I was able to run for 3 miles this morning. I definitely do not want to lose my momentum.
