  • Back day

    Today....Had a pretty good back workout today. Had planned on starting shoulders today with back again, since I am not working any overtime now, but got to the gym too late. Next week, I plan to do this. Am doing a mild cut, started Sunday. So...

  • Nice arm day

    Nice arm workout today. Got back on my normal schedule, went to bed regular time, slept well. I always knew how important adequate rest is, but if these last 2 weeks are a glaring indication of just how important, then nothing is. It was not t...

  • Yesterday's chest workout

    Well, going to take more than 2 days to get my strength back, and a good thing to know because otherwise I would have thought my workout was crappy. I realized this after my second set of flat dumbbells, so kind of switched gears. So, nonetheless ...

  • Shoulders

    OK, at the risk of sounding like a crybaby, I will be so glad when this 12 hr. 3rd shift crap is over! It is taking its toll for sure. No rest translates to crappy recovery thus crappy workouts. (whew, now I feel better! :)) Anyway, as you can ...

  • Back day

    Today I at least FELT like I was back in the game! I really had a decent back workout, and went through it with my old vigor before this 12 hr. 3rd shift crap started. Not really special, but solid. Actually may have hit a couple PR's, but not goi...

  • arm day

    Got some rest last night, had a decent arm day. I was still weak, I can see it is going to take more than one day to get over these long nights, and still have to do the same thing starting today. Oh well, last week anyway. As noted, did have a...

  • Chest with no rest!

    Almost no sleep today after getting off at 5:45 this morning, another 12 hr. shift. I was so restless, tossed and turned, looked at the clock umpteen times. Got up and ate finally, really dragging bad. Went into the gym, with just the notion of le...

    Rest day from resistance training, did a 30 minute cardio session at about 60% max HR. 329 calories. Wanted to do 40, but did not have time....had to leave for work.

  • Legs

    Had to really "focus" today, pretty tired. Got through it in decent shape. Hit my maxes from last week, with a few extra partials to boot. When I did my first set of 3 with 950, after the 3 rd rep I raised the catch plate up and did 10 partials wi...

  • Off day

    Going to be a tough one tomorrow. This 12 hr. thing is no joke, got to do legs, and going to be on very little sleep. Getting off at 5:45am and I don't get to bed till 7. Vrey light sleeper. Got to do this tomorrow and Saturday too!

  • Back/shoulders

    Well, things have gone from bad to worse at work. I was doing 10 hr. days, and Saturdays, now they have bumped it up to 12 hrs. And to add insult to injury, hour change went along with it, now working 5:45 pm to 5:45 am. Needless to say, they are ...

  • Biceps/triceps

    Todays arm workout went well, really, really tight pump on both tri's and bi's. I tried to increase reps a bit, and kept the weights down, even still increased in preachers and following with barbell the same as I normally do when doing barbell fi...

  • Sunday's chest day

    Well, haven't done flat dumbbells first in quite a while, and they have been down a bit. So to see if my strength was actually going up in them doing close to the same weights after everything else, decided to do them first today. Went well, racke...

  • Good leg day!!

    Well, I did it! I reached 950 on the leg press, 2 sets of 3 each! 10 plates on each side....wooo...hooo! I finally figured out what was hurting my knees, it is hack squats. I go all the way down on those, and this is what the problem was. Star...

  • Shoulders

    Nice shoulder day...hit a new high on rotary press, never have been able to use 45's on it after doing heavy dumbbells. Today I did, and for a couple sets of a few reps. Felt really good about that. Great shoulder day, really felt things well. Sho...

  • Back/Abs

    Had a really nice back workout today....not from the standpoint of more weight, though I did increase a bit, but I matched all my prior weights with alot more intensity. In other words, I flew through the workout today, very little rest time and w...

  • Great quad day/hams and calves also

    Well, what to say about today...leg day. I knew my test levels were a tad high this morning for some reason. I was very edgy and irritable, my wife sure mentioned that! Anyway, really nailed the leg presses good today. Matched my previous high...

  • Back day/Abs

    Day started out good, had my wife do an arm measurement this morining cold. She was saying with the shirt I was wearing I got for Christmas(I had worn it once before), that they looked big and she wanted to check. Well, great news, never did the f...

  • Arm day

    Today was arm day. Was running late, did not get to do the last 2 exercises I wanted to do, but did not feel lacking, as I had such a great burn I had to have done something good! Nice tricep fullness too by the way, did them first. Upper cable...

  • Back day...some abs

    Today was a back day. Still a bit tenative on my weights as per last weeks lower back problems, but had a nice, productive workout. Actually found as I lowered the weights on bent over rows I felt it much better. Took alot of the stress out of my...

  • Shoulders/calves...done with CEE log

    I was going to go back to my 4 day split, so I have 3 days off, as before the end of the year they told us when we come back no overtime. Well, glad I didn't, that lasted 2 days, and I was informed today I have to go back on overtime. So, I just d...

  • Yesterdays arm workout

    Much better day, got a good nights sleep last night, was ready to go today. Did Tri's, bi's and forearms. Really hit them pretty well I thought, had a nice pump in both tri's and bi's, hard to distinguish today which was better. Went back to an ol...

  • Crappy chest/abs day

    Almost hate to even record this workout. It was definitely not one of my finest. Very little sleep last night, and maybe not fully recovered from leg day Friday, and it was telling today in the gym. Though I did actually have a good pump, weights ...

  • Chest/hams/abs

    Well, odd combo doing hamstrings/glutes with chest. But, I missed a day last week, yesterday threw in calves with back. So, anyway, I should be back on track now. With twinging my back yesterday, I backed off alot of dumbbell work today, and di...

  • Shoulders

    Well, things have picked up drastically at work, we have so many orders, there is no possible way to make them and they are hiring alot of people. They have hired 17 already, and are hiring more. Anyway, all this leads to 10 hr. days for me for su...

  • Chest/Abs

    Well, took off yesterday, felt a bit under the weather, and rested. In fact, felt pretty bad. Ate a good diet, but more of a cutting diet, mainly protein and veggies with some fats. Felt better this morning, still not real good, still have this he...

  • Leg day

    Day after Thanksgiving, leg day. Gym was its usual crowded state this morning, traditionally that way the day after Thanksgiving. I went heavy on legs today, took a bit of a break last week. Set a record, not on weight, but on more reps with my pr...

  • Back/Shoulders

    Well, today would normally have been a day off, but my wife is off work tomorrow, and wanted to get an early start with the Thanksgiving stuff, so we went in today. (Save me a trip from driving her back home tomorrow after the gym..her son has her...

  • Triceps/biceps/forearms

    Today was arm day, a bit weary today for some reason. But we as warriors of the iron we are, push on. I went in, didn't do too badly, in fact had a great pump. Changed things up a bit today on triceps, and hit biceps hard but short and to the poin...

    Very nice chest day. Started off with declines this time, went well on those, then went to flat dumbbells. Didn't fare too badly on them, but was super impressed that still after doing Hammer strength flat bench also, my incline dumbbells were up ...

  • Yesterday was leg day/today cardio

    Suffice it to say I had a good leg day. Kind of backed off my weights a little, been noticing some knee problems. I went up all of a sudden so fast on my leg presses that joints/tendons/ligaments could not keep up I believe. Did 910 on leg press l...

  • Back/Shoulders

    Shoulders and back today. Really emphasized back, tried to up the weights a bit, and it did take its toll on my shoulder workout, but that is the idea. I prioritized shoulders for 8 weeks, now it is time to prioritize back. Wide grip chins Set...

  • Rest day/new split working well

    Nice day off today. I have changed my split, in favor of more rest. I went 8 weeks with a 6 day split, one day off only and that I did cardio on. I am now doing a 4 day split, with 3 days of rest, and it seems to be paying dividends. So, I wil...

  • Arm day

    I would have to rate today's arm day an 8+ out of 10. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a good day, pretty strong, and nice burn in all parts of the arm. Tried to hit all angles as usual, and felt like I succeeded pretty well as to the pump I felt...

  • Chest/Abs

    Today was chest day again, and I set another record on inclines! It was so awesome, and that was after a bunch of sets of flat bench both dumbbell and barbell(for a change). I have come to the conculusion that my prior 7 weeks of prioritizing shou...

  • Legs

    Leg day today. Set another record on leg presses, though it was hard fought. Done out of shear willpower. Didn't really have the strength today, just wanted to do it to surpass last time. Tough day today...here is how it went. Plate loaded squa...

  • Chest/Abs

    What an awesome chest day today. My wife got me psyched up believe it or not. I was kind of feeling huh, oh well, you know, get my way through it as best I can. She was doing flat benches and did 135!! She was stoked, then wanted to do it again. S...

  • Yesterdays leg day

    Ok, here was my leg workout. Actually kind of sluffed off a bit from my normal workout...was running late as mentioned due to traffic. Didn't do my normal leg extension routine for instance. But, at the end of the workout I came to the realization...

  • Leg day

    Pretty awesome leg day today. I was running late today, traffic very bad, took an hour or more to get to the gym at a crawl, almost called it off. But, ended up hitting a record high on the squat plate loaded leg press. 880 today!! For 4 reps, aft...
