4-23 Today was a good day. First time all week I’ve felt good enough to get in the gym and bust out a good workout. Been a couple of weeks since I’ve had the energy to go straight after working a night shift so I ran with it and very pleased I did. Hit a full body session since I’ve been out...

I have my annual appointment coming up in May, maybe I’ll bring it up then and see how it goes!

4-18 Starting to settle into a routine of lifting EOD, gives my body time to recover before putting more stress on it. Finding myself recovering slower and actually being sore from lifting which is very unusual, can’t remember the last time I was sore other than my legs… will never escape DOMS...

4-16 Good news finally! Got the Dr’s referral for the iron infusion, waiting for them to call to get it scheduled. Looking forward to getting back on my feet in full force, because this exhaustion just ain’t it. Got in to the gym for legs today, first time hitting them in about two weeks...

4-14 Several more days of rest which is why my logs have been slow to come out. Nothing to really report other than I’m beginning to feel a little better. Lowered the iron dose from 50mg to 25mg and that seemed to stop the borderline narcolepsy I was experiencing 🤣. No longer dead tired and...

I’m beginning to learn that as time goes on. Don’t recover like I used to in my 20’s but I damn sure like to pretend I do. It’s been an adjustment not being in the gym 5-6 days a week but I’m beginning to enjoy it a lot more.

4-11 Finally made it back into the gym this morning after several days of being so tired. Decent chest/shoulder/tri day considering all things going on. No loss in strength, but endurance is taking a hit. A little more rest time needed between the heavier sets, but still putting the weight up...

Appreciate it my guy! Will definitely keep posting about it as new information or a solution comes around. Very big advocate for talking about blood work and symptoms, what I’m going through could help someone else who’s reading

Thanks man, just pushing through like usual, may have to take a little more rest but there’s no stopping this train!

4-6 - 4-8 Been a rough few days in this journey of mine. Fatigue and tiredness are beginning to take a strong hold. These low iron levels are beginning to show their face and creating problems. Since starting the iron supps, on days that I lift, my blood sugar is plummeting after the lift down...

4-5 It may be Easter Sunday but the work doesn’t stop. Had a wonderful Easter meal to fuel the workout this afternoon, pump was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Knocked out some chest/shoulder/tri work before heading into work. Caught up on a little more sleep with 6.5 hrs in the tank...

4-3 and 4-4 Who doesn’t love ending their week completely killing their legs so they can’t walk right all weekend? I for one live for it. Leg day will forever be my favorite, it’s the one lift where my ego never comes into play and there’s no holding back. Go hard or go home. Each set is...

4-1 and 4-2 Rough start to the night shift routine but due to things out of my control. Had to shift the schedule around to make things work for the family so sleep has been at random times. Will try to get back on track this weekend after the holiday. Great back on 4-1, rest day on 4-2. Iron...

3-31 The fun has begun. First shift back on nights wasn’t too bad, still prefer it over days. Rough day sleeping, only 4 hours logged. No bueno, hopefully tomorrow is better. Hit a great chest/shoulder/tri session, pump was great, energy a bit low. Blood work showing a piece of the puzzle that...

3-28, 3-29, 3-30 Wonderful 3 day weekend before I switch back to night shift. That means 3 more days of solid sleep before I go back to struggling(hopefully not, have the tools now to keep going). This month I averaged 7 hrs of sleep compared to 3.5hrs last month, going to work to keep that...
