Been on this site for a while. Been finding that I can’t find training partners to hold me accountable so this may help me stay more consistent. I’m 250 @ 5’9. B.F. is way higher than what it should be and my lifts aren’t impressive at this weight. Going to try and clean up the diet as I go to cut down body weight while maintaining or improving my lifts. Working with a suspected SLAP tear on my right shoulder/arm. MRI end of September. Will post reps I get later.

Post Reps later
Hit 9 reps at 145. Grip was dead from deads yesterday or maybe it’s all the creatine I’m taking… Bent over barbell rows looked like 135 x 6 x 6 with fat grips. Couldn’t hit 155 only did 3 reps. Reverse flys with fat grips 65 x 6 x 5 and cable rows 220 x 6 x 6. Lateral raises 45 x 5 x 5. Scrapped the dumbell rows. May go for a bike ride again. Tomorrow is mobility work and some kind of cardio.
Also didn’t do external/internal rotation because somebody needed to do cable crossovers for 30 minutes.
Was just looking over other peoples training logs. They are much more detailed than mine. Here’s some little tid bits.
My rest times are anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute depending if it’s an the last ass kicking set or warmup sets.
30 seconds for most accessory work.
My diet is garbage.
The paleo diet interests me and I’ll be starting it soon but I doubt I’d be able to stick with it even though it’s very simple.
I have a homemade sled which a friend welded up for me. I push it when my friend is around with his truck as it does not fit in my car and my neighbors are assholes.
I will most likely start making videos of training sessions because everybody seems to like videos.
Easy day today. Just going for a bike ride. Squats tomorrow.
1 easy day turned into 3. Not feeling too hot the past couple days. Good enough to go today.

390 for 10 reps. Got a video. Please feel free to critique. For some reason the gym that I go to has no 35 lbs plates. That is why the set up looks weird. Scrapped the reverse lunges. My conditioning is really going into the shitter. Bench today. Will see how it goes.
