Last two days have been cardio and core work. The fact that I'm even typing "core work" is a good sign for me. In my routine, when I start doing core work, my diet improves a lot because I want to see results in the area that I'm working. Both cardio sessions were 40+50 minutes of walking. I...

Yesterday was Thanksgiving but my commercial gym was actually open so I just treated it like a normal work day. I did squats for the first time in a few weeks and had a damn good session. 315x10, 365x8, 405x6, 455x4, 525x1 for another goal. At this point, all that's left is 550 deadlift which...

I feel your pain man! I'll let you know if sleeve makes any difference on next arm day!

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! Today was arm day. Kids have a half day with Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow so I had to get in and out pretty quickly. I did arms today and quickly realized that tennis elbow that's been bothering me hasn't gotten much better over last two weeks of deloading...

Today was an awesome day! I did chest with my workout partner and hit yet another goal! Normally, my workout partner is MUCH stronger than me with benching...its def his thing the way legs are my thing. We did flat bench together obviously, I went 135x10, 225x10, 275x10, 315x5, 335x1, 365x1...

What's your plan going to be with those compounds? I'm guessing 12-16 weeks..but what dosage etc.

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I did cardio on both days this weekend. One day was 45 minute elliptical and then 45 minute walking yesterday. I actually did a little core work for the first time in forever....my stomach promptly cramped both days lol. I decided with the holidays...

I posted some beginning pics on page 4 of the log. I was planning on just doing the end of cycle pics. Mid cycle bloods are a few weeks out too FYI

I actually did legs today and I stuck to the plan of deloading. As much as I wanted to squat a bunch of weight...I decided against it. I did 5 sets hack squats 1-5 plates each side, 20 reps per set. I did extensions 5x20, curls 5x15 (I actually cramped in my hammys...odd), 6 sets calves, 3...

As much as I wanted to do legs today....the commercial gym got the best of me. Only one rack really sucks so I went ahead and did shoulders. 135x10, 185x10, 195x10, 205x5 (think I got a little tired), 225x3. After that, 5 reps side raise, front raise, reverse pec dec to finish. 30 minutes of...

Back day today. I'm trying to continue the week of deloading...which will last until leg day tomorrow. I just can't help that...legs are my bread and butter! Back was a very simple workout...5 sets hammer pulldowns 1-5 plates, 5 sets hammer rows 1-5 plates, 5 sets pulldowns...chin to waist...

Thanks Dylan! This is exactly what I needed for my Hipo mid cycle blood work.

Nice job brother and way to be smart about your weight increases with your exercises. Be very careful with benching...especially if you're getting shoulder pain. No need to ruin all of the work you're doing by tearing a rotator cuff. I recently forced myself to do a week and a half of...

Chest day today. Had a good workout and went to my partners gym which has DB's up to 125. We did DB flat as primary chest exercise. 80x15, 90x15, 100x15, 115x10, 125x6. The rest of the workout was a combination of plate loaded hammer machines and cables. 30 minute elliptical was cardio for...

I took yesterday off entirely and did arms today. Workout was fine...like last week, only compound movement was close grip. 135x10, 225x8, 245x6, 275x4, 295x2. I feel like I can push more weight but I'm trying to be better about deloading again this week. Rest of the workout was cable iso...

Cardio and pin day today. I pinned left delt just to make sure whatever i did with left glute pin gets resolved quickly. I don't feel any sensitivity in the area at this point and back tightness has been taking longer to hit....so I think I'm on my way to being back to normal. Pin was...

I did shoulders today. I continued my deload workout for today. I did all iso movements first: 4 sets sides, 4 sets fronts, 4 sets rears before I did any compound movement. 4 sets DB press 65's 2 sets 10, 75's set of 10, 85's set of 10. Light upright row finished the day. Cardio was 30...

Leg day today. The WORST thing you can see in the gym happened this morning. There is ONE squat rack in my commercial gym and some guy was using it for....you guessed it....BB Curls. Normally, I'd just switch and do my other body part but unfortunately, that was taken as well. I took it as a...

Back day today. I did a workout that my partner got and it was a pretty good one. I don't have any compound movements to speak of. 3x10 seated rows, 3x10 pull ups, 3x10 lat pulldowns, 3x8 BB Row. A very simple but effective workout. I did 25 min on the elliptical before lifting and that was...

Thanks to everyone who checked in. I feel the same as 96ish just said in his log. I feel so strong, I have to be careful not to overdo things and get injured. That's especially hard for someone like myself who really enjoys pushing weight. Yesterday was arm day. The only compound movement...
