Preacher cable curls

4plate x 5 sooooo much TUT for last rep of each set. Dumbells & barbells aggravate my shoulder & cables seem to let me focus on squeezing my puny biceps better

Friday night lights

Tough dog walk, dislocates with the leash x ~50. Shoulder healing. Came home & did 5 super controlled pushups, shoulder felt fine :slight_smile:

Gonna take 2more days off & hopefully start adding in push moves next week starting with boring ass feet on the ground pushups. Waking up bet 188 & 191 last few days.

Good luck mate, good to hear the shoulder is feeling better.

Thanks Luc. :slight_smile:

Back on a 4day work week.

Elliptical & stretch. No access to pvc/jumprope/bands for dislocates. Classes for the masses & good forbid I respectfully slide thru to grab a piece of unused equipment during a class. Did a bunch of 25lb plate raises & the Tom Morrison dumbell moves with a 5poundah.

3rd world hold & a bunch of bw squats
65lb DB hold then 2x15

Man I’m digging the m/w/f evening schedule. Probably a dozen people in the gym tonight & 1/3 of them were Lululemon’d with that insta booty. Full disclosure - I’m dating a 28 y/o with a big fit melanated booty & thicc sexy thighs, so my observations are for research purposes only :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Elliptical, warm up shoulders with dislocates & dumbell moves. I tried 10poundahs today, rotator cuff nawt quite ready for that. Sticking with the 5’s for a bit.

Push me pull you kinda day.
Pushup moves feet on bench, felt good.

Wake up 190, planning on staying with 531 for squat dead & ohp & seeing if I can finally get 20reps w/195 (bodyweight) till March or so. When I cut calories, I think I’ll try a gironda 8x8 type program. I like seeing my work capacity progress with these short rest type workouts. Walking 3-5 times a week with doggie depending on the weather. More walks & more grilled red meat as the weather gets better.

Skipped squats over the weekend, those DB presses took a lot more than I expected out of me. Had me binging & napping for 2 days. C’mooon adaptation.

Taking legs a little easy, I’m on antibiotics & hammie is sore since deads last week, so easy going this week. Straight skipped my 3’s squats over the weekend, but I been hitting the hills hard on the dog walks. Waking up 191-192 seemingly no matter what I have in my belly. That’s up from what seemed like 5-6weeks of 187-192 depending on food & water weight.

Cake day & figured I’d celebrate with deadlifts.

Elliptical, shoulder dislocates, bar hangs & scap pullups.

Forgot what the hell I was supposed to be doing today & still made out ok. Skipped squats AGAIN yesterday because deadlifts on Fri & snow shoveling (6-7" of the super fluffy stuff) on Sat. Back on it for this week.

Elliptical, stretch, all the shoulder moves.

Deadliftin around.

Elliptical, stretch, shoulder stuffs.

Whoa packed house. Saw a fellah with 5plates deadlifting when I started. Ok… I’m mirin… He pulled that then 545 then 585 then loads up 635. He missed but it broke the floor. New strongest guy in my gym. Oddly enough the ‘old’ strongest guy in my gym was mirin too.

Ok got my shinguards & my baby weights. Girlfriend says I can’t have scabby shins for shorts weather. She shaved her armpits for me so I guess it’s a fair trade off.

Ok I sorta thought up a lil program for myself:

Mon - full body pump day
Hirep goblets
Ohp 531 + back off sets. Pullups supersetted in
Pushups supasetted w/cable rows
Cable curls

Wed full body deadlift day
Deadlift 531 + back off sets
Chest supported tbar supasetted w/pushups
Incline DB’s

Fri upper body
Incline DBs supaset dumbell rows
Ohp supaset pullups
Curls

Sat or sun lower body
531 squats + highish volume back off sets
Pushups or tricep pushdowns maybe.

Figured I could run this for strength for the next month & when I cut calories in late March, I can drop the weight a bit & add in a day of hiit probably after lifting on Fri. I’m already walking pretty hard 4-5 days per week. We’ll see.

Today’s upper stuff.
