Just got home from a short but good #workout. Schitt’s Creek themed t-shirt to honor the late Catherine O’Hara. Even washed my car so @carolinamic23.bsky.social doesn’t yell at me. Now Elsie wants part of my turkey sandwich. Better share! 🎶 x Bloodywood. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #trainforhealth

Heavy back squats, skull crushers, barbell bicep curls, & 🐉 flags were features of today’s kinda short #workout. Burned over 400 kcal on the elliptical. If I’d remembered my headphones I would’ve been listening to the Black Queen. The T-shirt will have to do. #fitnesssky #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitness

First #workout in days, heavy banded cable work; shoulder press, spider row, split squat superset. DB dead risers to finish, plus more. My own personal exorcism! Maybe my brain will quiet down now. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #horror #theexorcist #horrormovies #trainforhealth

Congratulations! You found a doomscrolling rest point. Take a load off your weary brain and enjoy this picture of Elsie snoozing on this frosty day between her mama & dada. #dachshundsofbluesky #dachshund #dachshunds

Coffee. Fed the dog, took her out. Breakfast. Wrote an amazing workout for myself. Saw the temps were in single digits and decided to curl up on the couch with book instead. #priorities

This cut has me gassed and struggling. Body still hasn’t adjusted to fewer calories. Hate this part. Hardly an exercise worth mentioning. I gotta do better somehow. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #nutrition #trainforhealth

Full on leg day w/heavy back squats & barbell RDLs @ 155 lbs. squeezed in some arms, shoulders, and some landmine action as well. Burned over 400 kcal on elliptical, and I’m ready for lunch! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #legday #trainforhealth

Brought my wife to an appointment so I killed time in the gym again. Managed to get cardio and the split squats I neglected to get this morning. 🎼 x Black Sun Empire. #twoaday #fitafter40 #strokesurvivor #trainforhealth #trainforjustice

Same Fly T-shirt—but sleeveless! Heavy banded cable rotational press, hamstring curls, barbell skull crushers & bicep curls, & a ton more. Legs weren’t really feeling it today but the core got hit hard. 🎶 x Wulfband, The Exploited. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #horrormovies #trainforhealth #horror

To cope with the existential dread that comes with living in the inbred corporate nightmare that is the USA during the Twilight of Capitalism, I find myself making odd compromises like, “If we invade Greenland, I’ll stop eating pork chops.” Note: I like pork chops.

Yup, still working out in my new Fly T-shirt. But the cable chest press was heavy as were Zercher lunges. Too time compressed for cardio today tho. Hopefully the shadow boxing set added a little. 🎶 x Architects, Horskh. #accountability #fitnesssky #fitness #fitafter40 #fitsky #trainforhealth

Burned over 400 kcal on elliptical, then Heavy landmine set with shoulder press, alt clean—lunge, and these back rows @ 70-75 lbs. Followers it up with cable chest press, TRX face pulls, cable tri ext & inc DB hammer curls. Finished it all w/🐉 flags. #tired #fitafter40 #fitness #fitnesssky #fitsky

Got in a quick lift with my buddy Pat. Smith RDLs are not my favorite, but you work with what you got. Think I’m coming down with something so I’m gonna keep drinking water and how some medicine helps. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor

Between ICE murder!NG a woman in broad daylight, and 🎼 x For for a King, I found myself rage-repping thru my R!ot & Rescue #workout just to keep myself from crying on the gym floor w/hopelessness. But the workout is designed to show you how to fight back against injustice, so I’m gonna! #fitafter40

Quick #workout today. Just enough time for some chest press and bicep curls while I prep for my afternoon shift. Gotta scarf down some lunch now. 🎶 x Skinny Puppy. #daredevil #mcu #marvel #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #trainforhealth

All day.

Heavy back squats, TRX tri extensions, and Russian twists were just part of my workout today. Plus over 400 kcal burned on elliptical. Working on diversifying my training. Gonna get creative tomorrow. 🎶 x Ten56, Wormrot. #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness #trainforhealth

Core focused #workout today. 🐉 flags, dead risers, and even some back extensions for the glutes, plus a whole lot else. Also hopped back on the elliptical for 35 min and burned over 400 cal. The cut demands! 🎶 x Entombed, Northlane. #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitness #fitnesssky #trainforhealth #cardio

Went to a #soundbath last night. It didn’t really jive with me. Found my mind racing a third of the way thru. Am I overstimulated?

Haircut game is fucked up but my landmine game strong AF! 🐉 flags are still good too! 🎶 x Skinny Puppy. #accountability #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor

Hopped on the InBody scanner for the first time in 6 months. Pleasantly surprised! Anticipated higher BF%. Muscle growth excellent, especially only bulking for 3 mos. Right side needs to catch up tho; thanks Strokey McStrokeface. Cut starts tomorrow! #strokesurvivor #fitafter40

1st #workout of the new year is done! Hex bar was unforgiving! Still shaking off a lot of holiday malaise but hoping for improvement as I’m about to start a cut. 🤞🏻 #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor

Been a rough week with the holidays. Hard days w/no motivation & wonky schedules sapped a lot of strength. I’m still trying tho. 🎵 x White Zombie. #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness #trainforhealth

#snowedin means chocolate protein pancakes w/maple syrup from RI! #breakfast

Greetings from the spider gym on this chilly holiday. We don’t really do Xmas but if you’re celebrating please remember those less fortunate. 🎼 x Method Man. #fitnesssky #homegym #fitsky #fitness #fitafter40

“I’m sorry, I can’t come to work today because my dog decided to snuggle up against me.” #dachshund #dachshundsofbluesky

Broke out some new Joker-themed track pants for today’s #workout. Heavy landmine action with some kettlebell lunges. Right hip still has trouble lunging even after all this time. 🙁 #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness #trainforhealth

Broke out the Thor gear for today’s #workout. Heavy cable chest press, tri ext, barbell bicep curls. Tricky split squat to snatch combo. All good; getting myself ready for a huge change in programming post-New Year’s. #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor

Decided to take a legs focused class instead of doing the uzh. Gotta switch it up sometimes! #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitness #fitsky #trainforhealth #daredevil #marvel #mcu

Can I gush about my client Kevin? Behold the outstanding #progress he’s made! I’ve been working with him since March and his #results have been nothing short of fantastic. He credits the #nutrition advice I gave him and sticking with it. #cpt #personaltraining #personaltrainer #training 1/

Barbell back squat 3x8 @ 165 lbs. Getting better! 2x ⬆️ with KB front squats to burn out my quads. Cable slapshots felt great but I prefer them at the beginning of a #workout rather than the end. 🎶 x Ho99o9, Kneecap. #fitafter40 #strokesurvivor #fitsky #fitnesssky #fitness

Gonna have to spend some time on quads tomorrow because my hamstrings are cooked after doubling up on them with kettlebell & cable RDLs. Doubled up on side lat raises too. 🎶 x Machine Head, the Exploited #fitafter40 #trainforhealth #fitnesssky #fitsky #fitness #strokesurvivor #punksnotdead

Sore everywhere today but I still managed to get in some chest, back, and core. Very curious to see how the next two days will go! 🎶 x Skinny Puppy because Ogre’s voice is aural creatine to me. #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitsky #fitness #trainforhealth

Heavy #workout today with cable chest press, split squats, 🐉 flags, and these RDLs. 155 lbs for 10 reps ain’t bad. I don’t like barbell but had it mostly set up for Zercher squats so I thought what the hell. #trainforhealth #fitness #fitnesssky #fitsky #strokesurvivor #fitafter40

I was so caught up in craziness last week that the 8th anniversary of my #sobriety passed. 8 years no alcohol! #strokesurvivor #sober #soberlife #noalcohol

Multiple injuries and fatalities being reported after the shooting at Brown University. Suspect remains at large. Hot times in my city.

The hex bar was unforgiving today so I rocked B stance RDLs as well. Cable rows, tri pushdown, hammer curls, and the 🐉 flags were good. 🎶 x Prong, Entombed, and Motionless in White.

Just a quick #workout between shifts. Nothing dramatic. Bigger movements tomorrow. 🎶 x Corrections House, Wage War, & Paleface Swiss.

At last. Back at it with a full body #workout. Deficit rev lunges were tough but the cable presses were tougher. Anxiety diminishing. Powered by Nevada Hardware, 16 Volt, and of course Static Low. New music soon! #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitness #fitnesssky #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor #industrial

I haven’t worked out for five days and it’s cranking my anxiety up to 11.

Congratulations! You made it to a doomscrolling save point. Feel free to rest your weary brain by looking at this adorable picture of Elsie that my wife took. #dachshund #dachshundsofbluesky #savepoint

Time compressed today so the #workout was a little shorter than I would have liked but still good. Tried alternating half kneeling kettlebell snatches and almost fell over. Good for #core! #fitafter40 #fitsky #fitness #fitnesssky #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor

Hit back squat for 3x8, 1st 155 lbs, then 165. Mixed in 35 lb DB rev fly and calf raises. Arms for rev curls and spider rows. Bulgarians and 🐉 flags to finish up. I’m probably forgetting something but I’m too tired to Aley about it. #Predator shirt because no way will you catch me in Gym🦈. #fitsky

Did the dreaded single arm high pulls today. No ill effects but ask me again tomorrow. Single arm cable presses went better. Must do more of that. Should I do squats or deadlifts tomorrow? #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #fitsky #fitness #trainforhealth #strokesurvivor #trainforjustice #recovery

Heavy #workout today w/lots of Smith machine press & split squats, among others. Did some banded cable work that wore me out, but the 🐉 flags were good so the ⏱️ to let my arm heal was smart. Powered by nothing but White Zombie! #igottoohyeahcomeon #fitness #fitafter40 #fitnesssky #strokesurvivor

Short #workout today. Wasn’t really in the mood for it but since I won’t have much of a chance for one tomorrow, some is better than none. #fitafter40 #fitness #fitnesssky #strokesurvivor #moodylift

This was not the shirt I wore to work out but that was my face after trying for a new PR in the hex bar. Somewhat successful. Will do better later. #fitness #fitnesssky

Put on the #darthvader gear does today’s #workout. Cable shoulder presses, Zercher squats, heavy ass pulldowns, among others. Left arm isn’t 💯 but it’s getting there. Powered by Wage War, Ten56, and of course Static Low. #fitafter40 #fitness #fitnesssky #trainforhealth #ifixedmyheadphones

It’s official y’all. The eye roll emoji 🙄 has become my no. 1 most used emoji in my phone. #victory

Took a few days off from working out to nurse a bad elbow. Did a light #workout in the spider gym to get back in the groove. Fueled by Ho99o9 and Bob Vylan. #homegym #fitafter40 #fitness #fitnesssky #strokesurvivor #recovery
