My daughters have both gotten into baking. They're constantly trying new recipes for cookies, brownies, etc. I'm an all-to-willing guinea pig. 

Band work - pull aparts, face pulls, rotations, etc.
Broomstick dislocates
Rotations with those little vinyl-covered DB's
Seems the prehab/prehab stuff is becoming more and more of my workout.



Barbell Overhead Press
bar x 10
65 x 8
85 x 8
105 x 6
125 x 4
145 x 2

Deadlifts
135 x 10
225 x 6
315 x 6
355 x 4
My lower back was being disagreeable so I stopped before I did something I would regret. I was doing hangs from a chin-up bar between sets but I just couldn't get it to loosen up. Maybe I'm finally wising up. I've always had a problem taking my foot off the gas and working de-load periods in my training. Unfortunately, I usually wait til my body tells me it's time and by that time, the forced de-load lasts a hell of a lot longer than a week. See my anemic bench press and overhead press.

Then a bodybuilding session broke out...

Triceps push-downs with a band super-setted with glue ham raises and calf raises.

It is what it is...a shitty workout. Keep it in perspective and move on.

  1. Yup, I'm okay. Just had a bunch of distractions sandwiched between a couple out-of-town trips. Lifting when I can but my back has been acting up so I've been taking things easy. The latest injury came while I was reaching for a pot of coffee. I've always known I was useless before my first cup of coffee in the morning. Evidently, I'm a danger to myself as well. Thanks for checking in, Tony.
